Amen Maer•INo,—The annual meeting
of the Bible 800101y was held in the
Presbyterian Church on Sabbath evening
Met. The weatbet was by uo mune
favorable for a large tarn out but the
gathering was very good, more than any
one might export on such a night. The
choir was there tboe adding mnob to
make the eervioe what it was—a great
mouse. R. McKay 000upied the ohair
and oondtoted the meeting in his unique
style, we think to the Batiefaction of all
pregame. The aervioe was opened by
singing, reading the Soriptaree and
prayer. After a short 0peeeh by the
obairman, and a hymn by the choir, A.
Mo$ay, of Brussels, was called upoo,
who gave a very praotioal aid earnest
address on "The Bible, the Voioe of God,
to the nation, the ohnrob, the borne, and
the individual." Another eeleotian ca
music was rendered and Rev. R, Paul, of
Brunie, was introduced who addressed
the audienoe on "The Bible, the Book
itself, cod work of the British and.
Foreign Bible Society whose aim le to
put a Bible in the bands of every mem-
ber of the Inman rare," There am 800
