British and Foreign Bible Society

1 In response to a request from the agenb of tha British and Foreiga Bible Society in Now Zealand to observe the laßb Sunday of February as 'Bible Society Sunday' tbe, Rev G B lug! is preached a sermon on behalf of the Sooiavy yesterday afternoon, based on II Tim. 3.15. When tbe Society waa founded in 1804 even the United Kingdom Iwae ill provided with the word of God. On the Continent of Europe the case was worse, and in heathen lands the Bible waa practically unknown. Ab thab time the Welsh Bible had gone ouo of print*, and a request from the people of Wales to the Religious Tract Society bo issue a new addition of the Bible for then,, led to the formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Today the Society issues the Bible , in 365 bugm.g-!?,E.i)d since its foundation ib has distributed throaghoub the world 175 millions of copies, of the holy sotiplures. Prominent Englishmen and Foreigners have expressed the opinion, thab much of our greatness as a nation ies due to bhe fftot, thab wo have the free use of the open Bible in our own language. In ways too numerous to mention perhaps too subtle to detect, lb has for at ieasb three aud a half centuries moulded our national life, and in bhe providence of God has been one of the chief factors in raising us ,bo the proud place of eminence which we occupy in bhe world today. Mr Inglis rapidly reviewed the history of Reformation Times, and recounted the difficulties, dangers, and persecutions thab fell to the lob of men like Wycliffe and Tyndale bhe transla tors of our authorised version of the scriptures. Until 100 years ago the Bible was scarce, bulky and expensive, bub now thanks to bhe Bible Society, tho New Testament may be bought for a penny and bhe Old Testa* menb for sixpence. Since the beginning of this month the Imperial Governmenb has entered into an alliance with Japan, and Mr Inglis referred bo the remarkable way in which the Bible had been int oduced into thab country. In 1854 the British fl.eb anchored in the harbour of Nagsisaki in the South of Japan* English atabosraen were then pressing a commeioial breaty on the Japanese Government, and there was a .u^pioion that the warshipa wore in Japanese waters to force the Government to yield. General Wak*sa was in command of the native troops, and ib was parb of his duty to sail round bhe harbour in a swift boat bo see thab the British were holding no intercourse with his people, One day he picked up aa English New Testamenb, which had been dropped overboard from one of the warships. The book waa oarefully dried and pronounced by the inttrpreber to be a religious book telling aboub God, Christ and the future iife» The General's curiosity was aroused end he procured a Chinese Testament from Shanghai, and in company with other notable men eagerly read and studied it" Some years later be and his friends came to Dr Verbeok, an American Mission ary, for inabruotion, end after repeated inter views they confessed their faith in Christ, were bap.iz.d and partock of the Lord's supper. The whole Bible baa been trans lated into Japanese, and was published for the firsb time in 1880. The moat recent editions are printed ia Roman letters, and are easily read by the Japanese* Christi anity has made considerable progress, and the new alliance with England ia sure to be favourable te the work by the Christian Churohi The preacher then pointed cub the effect; of the Bible on bhe lives of individuals from the time of 8c Paul to Spurgeon, appealed to bis hearers to support the Bible Society, and dosed with an exhortation to all bo read the Bible, to meditate upon it, to pray over lb, and to pub its | teaching inbo practice in dally life.

A BROKEN TUMBLER AND ITS OONSf.QUBNOBS"; Nai Nai, Lower Hutt, September 2, 1901 DKAR Sir, —Possib y theßhort account contained in this latter, in reference to the use of PLANTEKOA OINTMENT, may be of lnberest to you. We had jusb removed from Blackbridge to the Nai Nai when ray daughter E.hel hai the misfortune to step on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gssah, catting into the ball of the foo . snd laying open the big toe iv two halviv. We had It attended to, but it aeem.d to be getting worse, when, aboub five days after ih. accident, we .fere advised to uao PLAIN TEKOA OINTMENT, being assured thab PLANTEKOA would soen heal it. Ab this time ib was very bad, tho foot swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiety appearance, and locked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However, we falbhfully applied Planb«koa Oin'ment, and nl.bout going ihto details, fii.fflio to say that ia a short tima the i. oot was healed, she was able to puc her boots on and attend school again. I would also like to state that [ used Plantekoa Ointment for my son, who had a gathering or ab.cbss in the ear. He was home from work for some lime with it and was in a bad staba. The discharge from the ear was of such a character that it would set up irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this case Plantekoa Ointment was success fully applfei, and in a few days my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yonrs sincerely, Mrs Jane Swan. Thia wonderful ointment ought to be in every home, nob only to be there In case of accident or emergency, bub for everyday purposes, its uses arß legion. Ib is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists ab 2s per large box, or aample boxes for sixpence, while to meeb bhe demand for this ointment from farmers and others, for use with horses and cattle, lb has been placed on bhe markeb in half pound tins ab 4s 6d_.
