Pennsylvania Bible Society delivered an
address on the work of the American Bible
Society. He said the Gospel stands for
ever, and that the American Bible Society
aims to furnish Bibles at the cheapest
price, so that the poor man can afford to
own one. God has given no greater gift
than the Bible. The Rev. Mr Morrow said
the first sight that impressed him at Glib
raltar was the Bible stands In the market
place. In Rome, where twenty-five years
ago the Bible was seized as contraband
goods 1t Is now read under the very nose
of the Vatican.
When the Bible Society was first founded
the Bible was published In forty languages.
Now it is scattered broadcast in 410 Ian
suages. He spoke Of the great work being
done by the Bible Society among newly
landed immigrants, and said that whenever
possible each is furnished with Bible and
a request to read it. The Bible in thirty
four languages was required for Philadel-
phia alone last year. He hoped that the
good work Of the society might be success
fully carried on.
Dr.. Morrow was followed by the Rev.
John s. Macintosh, who spoke OF the aS-
gressivaness Of the Bible. He compared it
to light. life and hope, which, he said. were
irresistible. 1t has been moving down the
ages, and it Is now q new power in govern
ment and state. 1t cannot be kept out
