American Bible Union - Donation/Collection Certificate - Gorgeous

Certification of $7.36 donation to the American Bible Union. Printed by Manhattan Engraving Co. New York. The Union was organized June 10, 1850 with Dr. Cone as president for the purpose of revising the English Bible. The second article of the constitution defined the object of the Union thus: "Its object shall be to procure and circulate the most faithful versions of the sacred Scriptures in all languages throughout the world." It is interesting to note that most of the members and directors were Baptists.
