The BIBLE IN TURKEY.-The address of
Rev. MIR. Bliss, last Thursday evening, on the
neei of the Bible in Turkey, was exceedingly
interesting. Without many of the gifts of
elo9uence, the speaker yet entertained and
instructed the audience more than many elo
quent preachers could have done He had
seen the work and the need of which he spoke
and his narratives and exhortstions had a
freshness and force which rendered them re-
culiarly attractive. He has already secured
S34 900 of the $50 900 needed to establish a
Bible House at Constantinople, and will un-
doubtedly shortly obtain the whole amount.
