and eloquence, and well did he sustain his
reputation on this occasion, taking the I'd
Psalm as the foundation OF his remarks.
he said that this was one OF the Messianic
Psalms, and that its prophecies were all full
| filled in Christ. Twice IN the Epistle to the
Hebrews and twice in. the Acts OF the Apos-
ties were the words Of this Psalm. applied
to Him. He then proceeded to consider
Christ in the terms mentioned therein, as
"His Anointed," MY King,n and I" My
Son." celebrating each point fully and ex-
haustive Of the subject.
In conclusion, he gave the newly-elected

OF quotations.

iect that had gathered SO large q congrega-
ton. He then introduced Rev. DR.. Peter
kin, who spoke at some length. He stated
that the Association was. very much In
need OF money at this time, and that
If contributions were not more liberal
than they had been that the Society would
have to dispense with the services Of their
agent who had been travelling through the
| State during the year, and that would pc ~
very sad blow to the Assoc 0eiation. The VIZ.
sinia Bible Society was the Oldest Of It's
kind In the Union, and ought TO meet with
success. Al thousand years .ago, when print; mt;

eopied by hand, it was then the custom 10
have chain attached to the Bible to Keep
