D. Moir was called upon, and during his address he said that the society we are representing to night was a most important one, and shonld excite the deepest interest of all Christians, considering how much we owe M our beloved bible. Look at the un- equalled greatness of Englandethe vastness of its possessions, its vast wealth and power and compare it with other great kingdoms of ancient times which have fallen from their mighty estate -and why? Because they had failed to hold fast to and rely upon the bible as their only Nina°. The fate of England will never be such as these so long as she upholds and is true to the blessed word of God. The rev. gentle- man than portrayedan descriptive language the beauty of the old land and many other things in connection with it -its military prowess, moral sagacity, government and laws, eta., saying that we also, as Cantle diens, should bs ready to pay homage aud rise in protection for our bible, and thus help to perpetuate the lineage of the many blessings we are heirs to through the medium of an open bible, and la us all identify oureolves with this blessed gospel which has dope eo much for the old land ancl is building up our beloved dominion Rev, 3. Kenner cleseribed the formation of the Bible Society anti stated that during its: eigbty years of existence 811,000,000 had been raised for carrying out its peo, ject, whereas $150,000,000 is spent in liquor alone m a single year in England alone, so there is great need of all helping according to their means in this work of circulating the Word. The sneaker mike gized 'Scotehmen at length,• attributing this to the interest they took in the word of God, saying that oar country was governed by this race of people, - (though some woutld perhaps give French- men the preference at present): Ile also said that whore the bible is ignored we find profound ignerance and adneation is always destined to win tin) battle of life, therefore let ns all do atmutmost in dis- seminating the truths of earipture, for it is the only safe guide wo can take to accom- pany us through life.
