Since 1910 Gideons International has been engaged in the public distribution of the "King James Bible." The New York "Times" of August 22, 1949, carried a statement by a past president of Gideons that they had placed more than 3,000,000 Bibles in hotel rooms outside of New York City, New York, and given more than 4,200,000 copies of its special edition to school children throughout the country in the past three years. That the intent of the Gideons is to teach their religion by these distributions of the Bible is clear from their published statements.
