Mary Jones wanted a Bible of her own.  Mary was born in 1784 into a poor family in Wales.  She became a Christian when she was eight years old and had learned to read at school. She often visited a farm some two miles from her home to read the Bible that was there.  But, she had a burning desire to own a Bible of her own in her own language. Her hope seemed in vain, as there was little money and Bibles were hard to come by.  Despite the slim hope, Mary saved her money.
