MEETING OF THE DRITISII AND FOREIGN
BIBLE SOCIETY.
-411-

The General Meeting of this Society was held on
Wednesday, in the great hall of the Freemasons' Tavern,
which was completely filled. Tne number of the clergy
of dilferent denominations was immense.
laird Tatouxtotrra was unanimously called to the
chair, and opened the business of the day in a short
speech.
The report, winch was voluminous, was read by the
secretary, the Rev. Dr. Owen, and gave a detailed ac-
count in the great progress the society was making in the
circulation of the Seliptures in all parts of the
It was received by the meeting with the utmost gratifica-
tion and applause.
Lord HARM/WI/I, in a short speech, moved that the
report should tie received.
Lord MORTON SECOLHICd the motion, which was car-
ried unanimously.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER congratulated
the society upon their increased and increasing success,
and moved the thanks of the meeting to their president,
Lord Teignmouth.
Lord Terosistouru returned thanks.
The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said, he haul long been
a friend to the society, and as much as he rejoiced at the
report of their last year's labour that had been read to
the meeting. He rejoiced Inure especially that the Bible,
and the Bible only, was likely to become the religion of
the country I and that the increased circulation of the
Se:Owes was not confined to one country ; but was
rapidly spreading over all the countries of the earth
Changes were taking place in other countries, of which
it was impossible, with certaimity, to anticipate the con-
sequences. He did not intend to oiler political opinions
but it was evident that despot:c power was giving way,
that rational power was gaming round, and that nations
who never before had that liberty might soon enjoy the
advantage of the uorestricted cousulation of the Holy
Scriptures, which alone were able to preserve liberty troth
degenerating into licentiousness. Superstition was also
giving way with despotism ; and the field for the bene-
ficent exertions m Society was every day widening. It
was of importance mat the distribution of Bibles should
keep pace with the education of the poor, which was
going on with such rapid strides in all quarters. The
powers of darkness were at wink, and the press, in its
abuse, continued to scud Inolt b.asphemy ; and it was
to counteract this that the society should go on hi their
efforts to sou the evil, for which the best antidote was
to be found in tm press itself. His lordship concluded
by moving our thanks of the meeting to the Dukes of
York, Sussex, Cambridge, and GlOucester, for their pa-
tronage and support.
Lind Caartionri seconded the motion, which was
carried with acclamation.
The Duke of Gtouctstart, who was the only Royal
Duke present, assured tlie meeting that he felt in the
most sensible manner the kinditeas of the feeling that
bad been expressed towards his. illustrious relatives and
himself- His Royal Ilighness declared, that they felt
Ito higher gratification than in forwarding the interests
of such societies, and congrattila-ed the meeting ott the
great progress they had made, so far beyond what could
be expected at its first establishment.
Thanks were voted to we Cnattsuan, and the Meet.
ing concluded.
