The need of making the Bible easily accessible to the average reader is being strongly felt everywhere. The result is an ever-increasing output of biblical publications, especially translations ,and commentaries, adapted for the educated layman and the non-specialized clergyman.

This rising which occurred on the 9th September, 1775, is insignificant in itself. It was badly organized, puerile, and turned out to be a dismal failure. However, on considering this revolt in its proper background and on taking into account the manifold and serious consequences it brought in its wake, one cannot underestimate its great importance in the history of Malta, and more particularly in local Church History.

Since the French Revolution, he says, mankind in general has rebelled against God: the intelligentsia have been increasingly hostile to Christianity and even to theism; the workers have not merely become indifferent but actively hostile while ,the peasants so tenacious in their conservatism are now letting irreligion or pseudo religion to take possession of them. As yea:ts have passed anti-christian secularism has advanced and rapidly conquered Western civilization: in brief one might say that Christianity no longer influences Mankind. But we can never admit this - God's revealed truth can never become obsolete for God has made man for Himself and man's heart is restless unless it rests in God. Our times may be the winter of Christianity but "If winter comes can spring be far behind?" - Then must be and there will certainly be a new and peaceful rebirth of spiritual religion - the signs are not wanting."
