A Looted Bible

To the Editor of the "Nowrit-Cuiwa Patty News.

Si—A Scofield Reference Bible was brought by a friend from a peddler on the streets of Tsing-kiangsu, N, Kiangan. This gentle. man requests that the owner be found, but he does not wish any money refunded, The Bible has been rebound and there is no name of the owner on the new first pages. The Bible is well used, well marked. The annotations are apparently in a lady's handwriting, The only note, which may identity the book, is a lengthy quotation from "Les Miserables," beginning: "Let never four robbers nor murderers, Those are dangers from without, petty dangers...... Let us think only of that which threatens our soul...... Let us confine ourselves to prayer' when we think that a danger la approaching us, Let us pray not for ourselves, but that our brother may not fall'"into sin our account."
