Appeal on behalf of the United Society for Christian Literature, by the Rt. Rev. Stephen Neill
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to the Rt. Rev. Stephen Neill [address removed]
Bishop Stephen Neill was for four years - a Cambridge don, teaching Classics in this great centre of book-learning. Then, for twenty years, he was a missionary among simple people in southern India, where there were hardly any books at all. He knows at first hand the difference books make to the life of man in the modern world, and the pathetic hunger of those who are just learning to read. Recently he has toured Europe and East Asia as one of the secretaries of the World Council of Churches, and has found in every country fresh evidence of the need of the common man for books that will liberate him and help him to grow towards world citizenship. He is convinced that something must be done quickly, on the widest possible scale, for the 250 million new readers of the world.
