NASHVILLE BIBLE SOCIETY.
18th Anniversary.

The 47th anniversary of the Nashville
Bible Society met at the First Cumberland
Presbyterian Church on last Sunday night.
After the voluntary by abe choir, prayer
and the reading of the sacred Scriptures
were had.
The following hymn was then sung
Let all the heather writers join
To form one perfect book;
Great God, if once compared with time,
How mean their writings look!
MOL the most perfect rules they gave
Could show one sin forgiven,
Nor lead step beyond the grave;
But thine conduct to heaven.
Yet men would fain be Just with God,
BY works their hands have wrought;
But Thy commands, exceeding broad,
Extend to every thought
Our faith and love, and every grace,
Fall far below Thy word
But perfect truth and Righteousness
Dwell only with the Lord.
At the close of the hymn followed the
annual report of the Executive Committee,
