NJ. Guizot upon Religious Education In
France.
The annual meeting of the French Bible Society
was held on Wednesday, the 18th ultimo, in the
church of the Redemption, rue Chauch hat. NJ
Gnizot, vice president of the society, delivered the
following speech:-
society, your efforts devoted TO questions of
cial organization of material interests, you would
now only have to place In common your sorrows and
your uneasiness; you would only hear menton made
in the report which is about to be submitted to you,
Of the suspension or of the Ill success Of your absrs,
OF the suerngs OF the and Of the pers ofthe
future Nothing Of the kind will, however, be found
here. Your labors have neither been suspended noe
uitless the hurricane which has overthrown around
you so much grandeur and paralyzed much
strength has scarcely touched you. Your activity aud
your prosperity-for may make of that word to
express the benefits which you have labored scatter
around-have remained nearly the same. You have
pursucd and accepted your work though
the heavens had been and the country
Whence do you derive this privilege Is your work

most universal storms cannot affect IL or you

and turn aside the blows under which many
perenced men have fallen No; the permanent secur-
ty and efficacy Of your labors in the midst OF social
convusions, due to higher and to purer causes;
your work is in perfect harmony with the paramount
Interests and with the most pressing wants OF
cety and Of our day. What these interests-what
are these wants Listen to what Is everywhere said
Everywhere heard the words Of faith charity and
