The American Bible Society offers to its Life Members an annual grant of one dollar’s worth of Bibles or Testaments; its benevolent intention being to supply them with the means of distributing the word of God among the needy. This perquisite is transferable at the written request of the Life Members. A lady, once a teacher in our schools at the South, and who has a great interest in the welfare of the colored children, suggests that in this way the pupils of our day and Sunday-schools may be supplied with the sacred Scriptures. We cordially second the suggestion, and will be glad to receive the written authorization of any of the Life Members of the Bible Society for the use of their current gift for the purpose above indicated. The officers of the Bible Society, as we understand, acquiesce in this plan so far as it may seem wise to the Life Members to co-operate with us. * * * * * DR. McKENZIE’S SERMON. The sermon preached at our Annual Meeting by Dr. McKenzie, related to our duty to Africa, and was one of rare excellence and beauty. It was printed in the _Advance_, Oct. 28th, and a limited number can be supplied to persons sending us a postal requesting it, with their address. The closing words of the sermon, which we append, not only sound a note of cheer, but are fitted to awaken the hope and courage of earnest Christian workers everywhere. “The day of the Lord is coming. The light is on the hills and along the coast of all the lands. The nations are coming to the King. The continents and the islands begin to hear His voice. The tongues of men shall be filled with praise. It is not long; a few days more of work and prayer; a few more deeds of sacrifice and love; a few more lives given; a few more men gilded with the towel and with the basin in their hands; a few more repetitions of that strange and sacred deed, Jesus washing the feet of Judas. Then the glory and the rejoicing. A little while and the day shall dawn. We may see the hastening light as we face the East, “Where, faint and far, Along the tingling desert of the sky, Beyond the circle of the conscious hills, Were laid in jasper-stone as clear as glass The first foundations of that new, near Day Which should be builded out of heaven to God.” * * * * * POWER OF RIGHT PRINCIPLES.
