64 with the Old Version that it would be little short of a calamity were it to be supplanted by the R. V. The Vox Populi We say that the question whether or not the E. V. should supplant the A. V. has been settled by the people themselves who, for whatever reason or reasons, and whether influenced or not by the Spirit of God, have, and with increasing emphasis, rejected the New Version. Thus, while the report of the British Bible Society for the year 1911 showed that about four per cent (one out of 25) of the Bibles and Testaments issued by that Society in that year were of the R. V., the full report issued in 1920, shows that less thorn two percent (one out of 50) were of the R. V. The number of users of the R. V. therefore is not only small proportionately, but is dwindling. And of the few that are now called for a considerable proportion would be for reference and study only, and not for use.
