In Alabama we use to let the Gideons folks in the school building. I bet they still do in some places of the Deep South. What is sad, is that many folks I have talkwd to in Ohio think that is a terrible thing to do.
Interesting. I live in Ohio and I received a Gideaon Bible in school. The Gidgeon member walked up and down the rows of desks slapping the small books on the desktop, a move that angered a number of us for his irreverence.
But that was circa 1958!
