dresses, &c. The Rev. Mr.. Shell
don addressed the audience. He
said the meeting was unostatious,
but not unlmportant; that the affairs
of the Chinese government were in
the hands cf some thirteen men,
who met in cabinet council, control
led that great Empire. He said
they were met to take measures to
circulate one book, on tk-~ merits
and power of which he discoursed as
one whose "tongue was as the pen
of ready writer" said tho singular
severity of the 9th plague which fell
upon Egypt had often attracted
his attention. 1t was darkness. In
which he found fearful illustration
of the thick gloom which must be
the concomitant curse of an absence
of the Bible. He remarked that
God worked by simple means, and
that she greater the force required,
the simpler was she sgenty for itt
accomplishment, and that What was
true in the physical, applied to the
moral world, and that Gods WORD
without note or comment p was the
) instrumentality. standing in simple
and solitary subfjmity, for defeating
whole prineipalties and powers el
, darkness. The address throughout
. was interesting and able, giving
l much information about the Bibl'
! society's operation, their supply o
7 every state and territory in thl
Q Union, and every foreign mission
b field with Bibles.
