Description
Text transcribed from caption: P-29678 GIDEONS HOLD 64TH ANNUAL CONVENTIONS DENVER, Colo. -- A display of Bibles arranged in the form of a cross greeted delegates to the 64th annual convention of the Gideons at Denver, Colo. Jacob Stam of Paterson, N.J., international president of the organization, views the display. Addressing the 1,300 members and auxiliary members at the convention, the president declared that the recent Supreme Court ruling against devotions in public schools will not stop the Gideons from continuing distribution of Bibles to school children. Since 1899, the Gideons have distributed 53.9 million Bibles and Testaments around the World. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (WF-Dv-7E-63-NBM)
