ing the gospel of St. John, and changing his former
*wine of life.—The Rev. .7. numli, Wesleyan Minister,
of Dorchester, followed. Referring to the meeting being
held in • barn, he reminded them that the manifesta-
tion of God's pressure was Independent of particular
places. He went on to enlarge on the importance of
maintaining our faith in theinspirstion of the Scripture*,
and the Word of God as containing all things n
for life and godliness.- Speaking of dile societ7ems:tri
he adverted to its glorious triumphs, and while Wyo.
eating the world-wide spread of the Scriptures, pointed
out how important it is that the Bible should be
diligently and Prayerfully road.—After singing "Jeans
shall reign where'er the sun," the Rev. G. Robbins,
the deputation, addressed the meeting. The Bible
Society was founded on the 7th March, 1804. Daring
Its first year of existence the society spent £Ol ; last
rear £205,213. The greet feature of the society was
that it anointed the Bible just as God wrote it with-
out note or comment, and that its aim was to give
every man in the world • Bible. The Bible was the
great want of the world, and It was all that wee
necessary. Some mid there were things in It men could
not understand, and others that it is • book behind the
age. But the Bible had been in the world ample*
1,800 yearn, and experience shows that it is all'socient. Aocompanissi by the Spirit of God, It
sufficed for all the needs of humanity in whatever part
of the world they were. So with coofideoce tbsy
might go on oiroulatiag the Bible. The Bible Society
was composed of those who loved the Bible. In Minor
matters they varied, but all loved Christ, and the
Bible because it told of Him. In the Bible house
there were 206 translations of the Bible, but no one
soot oould claim to have done that great work One,
and Marehman and Ward, %pilots • Henry Marty.,
Episcopalian ; drat and William., bongrogatiobalists,
John Hunt, Wesleyan and others had shared in it.
Then it is • British Society, It was the want of tie

society. There are six languages spoken in Great

established then was one Bible amongst *soh thousand

that then are 11 meetings held on iamb of the fin
available nights of the weeks ie. including Saturday
and Sunday, in Groat Britain. Lest year 125 more
meetings •er• held than in the pnoeding year. At
these meetings they talked about the Bible, and stated
facts to prove its truth. These, he thought, were days
when we needed to read the Bible more and more.

who held aloof from it be suspected of one of two things
—either they rallied their denominational colours more
than the truth, or were afraid to brine their colours to
the test of the standard of truth. During the past year
75 new brooches of the soolety had heel, established.
Having the Bible they knew the way to heaven, lettings
take care that they walked therein. The Bible was •
proof of God's lov.i, and though th-y bad often grieved
the Spirit, He had never token it away. Let them
eherish it more and m- re. When the soviet, oommeneed
Its oporatiors th• religion of Europi was, broadly
speaking, Rrrnan Catholic, and the Bible on wehheid

the representative of Christ. lie deearibed the work of
the Bible colporteun on the continent, their difficulties,
the opposition they snrountere.i, and their ultimata
success, quoting Incidents in Franco. Belgium, and
Austria, in illostration. While in iingland people were
increasingly approaching to Rome, it was a cheering
thought that all Roman Catholic countries were
gradually throwing off their allegiance to the Pope. In
Madrid lad your the Bible society printed 30,000 copies
of the Bible, and during tho 4 years Spain bed been
opened to Bible diatritintion those had been sold Trion
than In Piety in 1.1 rsra. Porturel was an intensely
bigoted country, but last year 10,000 copies of the
Scriptures were sold th.re. In Horne 15,000 Bibles were
printed and circulated last year. lint year
there was an unpreoedentod circulation of the Bible Ii
Russia, 'although at the peasant time the great popula-
tion of Siberia was without the Scriptures. India,
about which we were now intensely canoe:nod in regard
to the famine, had largely taken the Scriptures. Last
year from the Cicada delete 23,000 more Bibles bad
been issued than in the pr. aiding year, and from the
Madres depots an Increase of 18,000. Lest year the 30
millions of Japan for the fint time rorrived a portion of
the Seripturno—tho Gospel of St. John, and other
portions were following. He had • great respect for the
J14:4011100, mince 210 years ago when the Jesues started
a mission there, and the Japanese as soon as they found
them out, mot them about their business. Now the
Japanese had the bruit mission at work amongst them,the
distribution of the Bible. In coodueion he observed
that lad you the society expended £23,000 more than
Its income, and he pointed out that increased sub-
actriptions are necessary to maintain the Society's
operations on their present beats—The Rev. J. It,
Cotter, of Houghton, followed, calling attention to
our oirminortances in this world which created the need
of • Bible, and of this society's operations. The Bible
was always • persecuted book; he should inanely
think it came from God, unless it were. He felt there
was no plate Irk. • barn for a Bible Society's meeting.
Wheat was the staff of life, and the Word of God was
the life of the gout. No education of the schools was
needed for the appreciation of the Bible ; if men cams
to know the Jesus of the Bible all the sophistries of
the philosophers would be dispelled as ashes before the
wind. To meet man's suffering end sin God gave the
Bible ' • and with that light the love of Jans was dis-
played, and eternal redemption revealed through Him.
Let them trust in the merited Chad, and they would
be everlastingly pardoned--The Chairman, in con-
cluding the meeting, expramed thanks to Mr. Mayo
for tin use of the ban, to Mr Lovelace for leading
the singing on the harmonium, and to Mr. Wlghtman
and Mr. Davis for assistance in preparing for the
meeting. He (Mr. Peers) told a striking anecdote
'bowing the power of the I.Vord of God in arresting
a would-be suicide from self-destruction sod bringing
him to Christ. —The medlar was closed in the used
way. The sollection amounted to over £3.

—The President said now.a.days tho great object was to
save labour sod produce as much food for ,took am
possible. Italian and green rye tame early for feeding
sheep, but they word something between one and grass,
sod the question cut how far they depredated the
clover crop when sow. with It. The obj •ot was to put
dinfoin down well sod keep it as lorg es possible. With
both sanfcin aid eover the great thing cam to get the
plant well established without being impeded with weeds.
He thought it cf great advantage to feed the first crop
rather than mow it. In conclusion be moved a cordial
vote of thanks to Mr. Sault. Thls wee heartily endorsed.
Mr. Scutt replied to the observatioos made in a
thoroughly practical way Me nenrred with Mr. Longrnao

especially mention the late Mr. Malachi Fisher, than

looked upon him a. my right hand, and Li, loss I much

eurrey end window the altered circuenstanoce of the
times. I think I may soniratidate tho retepayers on
the efficiency of the Gueroiaes they have apporokd,
and also on the regularity of their a:Modena*, thus
tale tying the predictiou that, when the Altenttltil was
made ha the law with regard to union rating, the
Guardian. would feel comparatively little interest in
our meeting; as, the rates being distributed over sr
large an area, Indio dual parishes would not be mush
affected by racer, or dimioutiom Our attendances at
the Board meetings have been on an ..... ge as large
as formerly. I think ihe labours of those who succeed
us in the coariagement of the poor will, in many
material point., be much lessened. I think the altera-
tion of the Law of Sattlemset, making it onion instead
of parochial, has been • greet boon to the poor. It is
only of late that they have begun to readae the fast that
there is now no hlndrthee to the induetrions mon Lek-
log his labour to the best market he oan find, or to
his removing, if he so pl saes, from one part of the
Union to another. The pogo geeot emigration from
our crowded perishes to other localities has made
labour lees plentiful, and therefore more remunerative.
Of imam, now the industrious, skilled, and sober
labourer—for industry, skill, and irobrlery, are always
worth their met—will be able to secure that amount of
pay which will enable him, by judicious saving, to pre-
pare for sickness arid old age, and so relieve the rates
from what is now their roost oppressive burden. If
men have good wage., pauperism ought to be greatly
diminished. and I think Boards of Guardians must be
more stringent in refusing all oat-door relief where a
want of doe attention to the laws of just and proper
thrift can be shown. Even relief in times of sitiktiem
must be more restrictive, so that all !trey be taught
that it is their duty in the time of health to
prepare for a rainy day. I think those who some
Liter us will find an organisation ready to band which
will essentially help them in the prosecution of their
labours, We shall leave them • workhouse (possibly
too large for the requirements of the neighbourhood, but
that we meld not beip) but at any rats placed In their

our depots—by which every sick person may obtain
stimulants on the doctor's recommendation, without
having to nod a long distance; and I think they will
find that methane's, once justly complained of, have
been remedied, and that there is • gradual improvement
going on in our gotta'e armommodetion which must
progress till the pottage. become what they ought to be
—homes of which the occupiers may be proud. I think
I may add that those who follow ns will find a staff
ready to carry out the requirements of the Poor Lew
faithfully, honeetly, and with hut:malty. I wish to take
this public opportunity of expressing to them—our re-
spected Clerk, our .ledicial and Believing Ofilosirs, and
our Workhouse Master—my thanks for the way in which
they have serried out the althea, of the Board, Gentle-
