WASHINGTON CRY BIBLE SOCIETY.
their quarterly meeting last evening at II
O'Clock, In the New York avenue Presbyterian
church (Dr. Guriey.) The church was well filed
with members Of the society andothers.
Mr.. w, II, Campbell opened the exercises by
saving that tbese meetinrs were intended 70
awaken deeper interest In the cause. They had
heretofore been held In various churches, and
were productive Of much good. II was timo that
the people Of this city we're awake and SEQ that
the bible was In the hands Of every person In
The oity. ons Of their brothers had gone lately,
Col, Edwards. and he hoped that those who
were about to speak would do full Justice to his
memory, Tho speaker then introduced the Rev.
Mr. Myricb,
Tho gentleman rose and said that no would
sneak in a general way, and leave IL to those
vino follovsd sfter him 10 sneak Of moro specific
thipes, Tho bible was the word Of everlasting
vas prinl ID. nor was II the leather with which
II vas bound. but IL was the seed contained
within those pages which gave the Word Of God
Ia man. Tbsre h A God. and our knowledge Of
mat God Ia siyen 10 us In the sasrod pages Of tho
bibis. Tbs heatben vorships an unseen God
one the conception Of his own brain. Our God
comes TO MS through the sacred pages tits God
who teaches US. The proper idea Of eternity has
never entered tho mind Of man In all Its fullness
and sublimity.
Mr.. Myrick's remarks were very eloquent, aud
we arc sorry that want Of space compels Us to
omit their publication.
Rev. DR.. Coudrop remarked that he saw before
him and held 10 his hand book which was
marked on the baok-Bible.
The book was composed Of several books, very
ancient and far back. None Of these book,
were mutilated; they were all whole and perfect.
An ancient language has the word, and II Il
called 'bOOk.' II IL very Oiut hnu tuoTo 70 nv
other work that has come down from the ancionts
so full Of perfection. How Is II that within the
strange mutations Of time all the vicissitudes
Of this book has been kept 90 wonderfully per.
feot7 Tho bible was never dreamed Of In the
philosophy Of man unit, God brought II out
through Christ Jesus. Christ says to Paul and
the other Apostles. $50 70 through the world
and preach the gospel" He told them to read
tho seriptu rea for Knowledge. This word of God
ia needed by the world. What would the world
be without IL? What would America be with.
ont NJ This beautiful temple dedicated to God
would be In ruins, and the cold moonlight would
be streaming through its crumbling roof. The owl
would here make It's abode. And what would be
tru. N hi, church would DO also Of every other
in the country. And what would England be
without tho bibis9 She would DO % bad as the
United States. II such Is the need Of the bible
Il IL lust ADAPTED to the wants Of every man. j
take the bibi. in hand, and a CLEAN Of divine
light Is thrown over me.
Thu work Of distributing the Bible was q
grand one. The man who put his hand in bis
oooket and rave money to buy Bible did q
good thing, but there was something else to do
Tho speaker concluded his remarks In an
earnest appeal TO ali to spread the gospel through
ont he Community.
Rev DR.. Samson was next introduced and
said: How shall We carry the seed Of tho Bible
and distribute IL best for the great end. Mani
testify Cbrist's own life in practice, tolls us Il
preach the gospel, and yet no tells us to search
Tho soriptupcs. Search the Scriptures, ant
We shall and me.n When the Apostles preached
the Word thew searched tho Scriptures diligently
We have the Scripture precedent Of sending the
Word of God where We cannot reach II with oul
Inns.
MI. Samson spoke Of the difficulties under
which the American Bible Society iabored. The
manner In which tho English Bible Society
worked and distributed the gospel was com.
mented on by tho speaker. The translation Of
the Bible In the middle ages was spoken Of,
tbe sneaker remarkipg that we wonder at their
perfection,
Many "reminiscences connected with the his.
torv al the Bible. its being handed down through
ages until the present time, were given by Mr..
Samson. and attentiyely listened to BY those
prsssnt'
The reverend gentleman rave few sketches
Of bis rsosnt travels in Europe. and concluded
