s The Influence of the Bible. The following is the address of Rev. J. L. Gates delivered before Tirzah Bible Society on Saturday July 29th : Today, as we sit in this house of God, there are mighty engines that with a throb, a hiss, and a roar are driving (he clanking presses; busy employees are taking the letters of many languages and placing them inclose columns of type; deft fingered men and women are taking the printed sheets and binding them into books neat and substantial; express agencies are thro wing boxes of these books into their cars and whistling them away wiih the speed of the wind over streain^and mountains and plains to place them in every corner of this broad laud; the while winged birds of | the sea are storing them in their capacious pouches and flying with them to the marts of trade and to the lands of sorrow that those who know no boohs yet who are book-hungry may ......I .1... ..........

Today individuals and societies are pouring their money into the treasuries of these publishing houses that this work fail not for want ! of funds, and the faithful are pleading! with their God for the success of this \ book; for this book is the Hook of the I Lord, and its words are the words of I the Most High (iod. As I look at tin'! enormous amount of money that is being expended, at i lie prayers so fer- | vently oii'ered, at the work so loving- ! ly done, and all that this book may be! spread abroad. I ask, "What means all this?" and the answer comes backsurely an answer of truth?that at last tli" christian people have begun to realize the enormous influence this Bible has over the world and that it is an influence which must be used for the salvation of sinful men. This influence is so broad that we can only mention a few of the ways by which it is shown. And one thing to which I would call your attention is the influence which J this word of God lias over our own language. Only a few centuries ago the f iiindatiou oil which our language rested seemed so insecure that our great author had his works translated into the Latin tongue that they might be preserved for future ages; but the speech of Home is dead today while the tongue of Knglaml grandly lives. Of all the languages that have ever been spoken the Kngnsh, of the present, is the most powerful. Built up from the words of many languages, holding the best and uinating the worst, it stands pure and strong?the best medium for ttie thoughts of man. It embraces in itself the sharp, clear edge of the saxon, the mystical march and the stately pomp of the Latin and Hebrew, the euphonious swell and the rhythmical roll of the Greek, the elegant suavity of the sonorous Italian, the crusleo.is grace of the Norman, and the inborn guttural strength of the Teutonic; so that if an orator wishes to thrill men's blood with niiglny thoughts clothed in rugged speech, lie finds his material in our language. As we read ripiirgeon, our hearts thro ; as we read Patrick Henry our right hands are moved to seek the sound; as we real < arlyle's rugged lines,we become hero worshippers with him?and the medium these men used was Knglish. Ones some great wordpainter desire his pen to \ ie >\ith Linmess brush, tlit* 11 v\ i li words of our own speech, lie pictures to our minds tin* raj*iiifr sea, I ho lashing? waves, the shrieking? winds; as he changes the Scene, and we hear the htrtls twitter and chirp, the brook babbling to the (lowers it it** hank: we almost feel the ieph> rs (lowing or hear tin* sighing of * he pines. I ne hooin ol caiinon, the raifieof musketr.\, the clash of arms, i he crash of tailing trees?all can ne pictured in our Knglish so that in oilr niiiols we st*e '*1 teath ritle upon the sulphurous -imc red hat:! j'atiiphis fool, and lint ion- fivoihlcal the shock." !s o>vc tiic theme?

Compare it with tl Germania German would say tl wicked go to Ilelle; ours would *ay tl wicked go to Hell. Pity the man wl cannot express his feelings clear! forcibly, powerfully in our tongi; Well, did you know that the Knglii language owes much of its purity, i tenderness, its mighty power, and i splendid stability to WyclifTs tran lation of the Bible? Scholars agr that had it not been for this Bible 01 language might have been weak ai scattering and non-sensical. But that time when our language w being formed, this word of God b came the great foundation stone ( which and about which the grai structure of modern English w; built. Again, let us notice the intluem which this word of God has had ov< the world at large. 1 might picture you the condition of the world win that tirst fond pair went forth fro l I he garden of bliss to face the col I stern, bitter life ahead in obedience the commands of an angered Go You might be made to see Cain as I went forth without the word and wil I the curse, crying that his punishmei | was greater than he could bear, for I hail no Book with its precious ii vitations to repentant sinners. Y< i ...... r v 111111 ia(uiv u? u??j m ? in- in *n?a without any written invitation fro (toil, when men following their ow J wild, selfish desires fell so deep in sin that when the Lord (Sod look* down upon the children of men, I found only one righteous family. Lo< at that righteous man of his. bout down, alllieted, miserable in his di tress, sitting on a pile of ashes a* scraping himself with pieces of broken pot, he cried, "Oh that 01 would hear me; behold my dpsire that the Almighty would answer m and that mine adversary had writti a book. Surely I would take it np< my shoulders, and bind it as a crov tome, I would declare unto him tl number of my steps, as a prison [ would I go near unto him. <>. I h lieve that no man of modern times cs in any way realize the intense Ion nig which many of those in the da of old had for a written word fro [God. At last t lie Old Testament, fro Genesis to Malaehi, was delivered the sons of men, and then the Xe Testament, ending with the rev lations to John; and for ages whi this was being delivered kings at prophets and apostles went forth cr ing to the wicked, both the high at the low. to turn them from their ev way ntid to seek the Lord who is Go and thus centuries after the time Christ the hordes of Northern Kuroi overran the cultured, Itible readit South, and following this came tl long midnight of the dark ages. Tl wisdom of men departed from then arts and sciences were almost who ly forgotten. Oner, the orator, In thrilled men's blood with his learm and tlry eloquence, now the tongue the orator was dead ; once stately pi I of marble had reared their heads the skies, now the piles were brok< in pieces, and reptiles and rats ma their homes where once crowned hea h i.I alnnf 'I'lio t ..I" > otv|rw a ? v. muil^ V/i I lie lllllliri bow, the din of clashing arms, ilowii streams of rich red blood, the mat captives in lonely lifetime end is t cry of murdered innocents?the took the place of the watchful she herd, the industrious plowman, or t busy marts of trade. Instead of ju laws came oppression, instead of rig came might, instead of governme came anarchy. Feudal lords ai haughty barons for a time held swi over their subjects as mighty heathi despots rule over their people. T rights of peaceful living were ah( islied, the sanctity of tlie home w invaded, morality became almost a fo | gotten word, and instead of songs praise to the true tlod, came wi orgies and bacchanals to heathen di I ties. Well was this called the da ' ag"S, for the pall <f midnight dar iicss had settled down on things spi i 1 u a I as well as things temporal, ai gloomy clouds of ignorance and vi , crowned llie whole world. What w the cause of all this? Look benea I the surface and beyond mere deta <>t profane history, ami yon will lii tint it was heesms" the word of <.

And the diil'erence be n tween the world of today, so grandly d, starting and to God, and the world o to centuries ago, so miserable in darl d. sin, is owing to the fact of men's read ing and keeping the law of the Lord th Again, let us notice the intluenct 'it which this word of God has had ovei the different nations of the world. I 'i- would seem surprisingly strange t< >" be told that one small book had hat h, more intluence in shaping the des m tinies of nations than has the sword o 'ii the conqueror yet it is not thd earth t<i quakes or mighty thunders that teari ?d down the mountains or cut deep tin 'e valleys, but the quiet workings o )k other forces of nature?wind and rair id and hail and cold. So it has not beei s_ simply the great political upheaval! id that have made and unmade nations a but the deep, quiet working of tin 'IP word in the hearts of the masses ha s had a most potent effect. You wil "*? notice that when the masses of nation: have had this word in their heart: in and their pathways directed by it *ii precepts that there you And govern ,,p incuts that are good am! staple. Lool pr at Israel under the reign of David am e~ David's glorious son, strong, safe, in U1 vincible, progressive, powerful. Lool f?~ at this nat ion with the same nationa >'s advantages when her rulers becami 1,11 men of wickedness and her peopli 1,11 were no longer guided by the prin *? ciples which tiod had given. She be w came weak, divided, disintegrated p~ lost; and her robes of glory were ex 'p changed for the garments of shame The government of a people can onl; y~ be as secure as the foundation upoi V1' which it rests. Napoleon is quoted a ' laying, "Oharlamagne, Alexandei Ca-sar and myself have all founde* ?* great nations, but upon what did w Pp build the products of our genius ? upoi xf* force. Jesus Christ alone foundei ',p his kingdom upon love. I die befor ',e my time a lonely exile far from in; n : native land, but today millions of peo "" pie would die for the name of Jesus. i(' And so as nations direct their path et' according to the Hible, to that degre are they truly good and strong. Oh es Andrew Jackson who was born only i to few miles from this place said, "Tha !>n book, sir, is the foundation upon whicl dp our republic, rests." If so, no power 01 earth, can move us; if not, well for u p s if we place ourselves thus in time. China seems on the verge of dis y memberment: she knows little of th ',p true and mighty one. France seem se to be in the throes of a mighty strug ?' K1*-- lias sue hoi largely iur^oiieu ne 'ie (iod ? I notice, also, that the peopl 1S* of a nation have liberty when th 'll Bible has full sway. McCauley say nt of the Puritans of England that the, would bow in the very dust betor ai" their (iod, but would arise to put thei l>n feet on the necks of oppressive kings and it is a well known fact that wher " the influence of the Bible has beei as felt, these people have hated tyrann; ir" and have loved freedom as their lif blood. Time was when certain re ligious beliefs were not tolerated i England: but our forefathers left thei homes and native laud?counting t hei j religion dearer?and crossing th r" I trackless seas came to brave the wild "" of the western world. They carrie j with them an axe, a ritle aiut a Bibb as The wilderness yielded to them, th mighty forests fell before the stead ''sj stroke of the woodman's axe, natur ' aroused herself from her rest of thou 7" { sands of years and yielded her bar 1,1 I vests of corn and wheat; and thoug *s [ tlie war-whoop of the savage at time '* i awoke I lie stilhtess of the early morn ing. still over all obstacles the pionee vS" went forward and founded the natio of the west: and the Bible which h carried in his hand, the Bible w hie nil he read by the torchlight's llickerin glare, t he Bible from which he hear ': the sermon preached in t he log chore I n' ?this was t he might y inlliience whic tratisformed a wilderness of savag ? beast and still more savage men int t he ' F.and of t lie free and the home i the brave." And wherever I lie heare I), of Mils Itible bus gone into a natioi , Ili.nl nation lias been uplifted, mad grander. brought nearer to tiod. .\n *t" tlit' great difference today bet wee 3(1 ; Knglnnd in Iter magnificence, an China in Iter degradation, her wan I i ' and her woe is largely because the in i llticnce of the liible has been fell o ?f [ Albion's hills and not in the celestin li- Kmpire. , | Again, let us notice tlie Influence which tl> ^ | IJihle has over the individual. There is i 1 | |lower in this world that can exert much as intl [in nice over the world or the nation, that doi |jf not effect the individual. Kvery great re'orr every (treat move for eltiier pood or evil, ha I believe, begun with individuals, and Ihrour 8? them have reached bodies of men and gover 1(1 merits. Take Moliamedanlsm for example ,g the followers of which religion emhrace su< a large percentage of the world. It did ni start strong, one lone mass trying to persuac ?l his companions lliathe was the prophet of Oo< at one. twoorthreoof these companions acccp ]y iug this as truth-sithers added to these- In i for a time, at least, individual by indivlduti ? And so in this great power for good which tl " llihte has, it exerts Its influence over the ind . vldual. It la a book sent by God not simply to l mankind, but to every man, woman and child. 1 It la a personal letter and applies to tho mind I and heart ot each and every one, and you will 1 readily notice how admirably its Is adopted to I every person of every class. 1 Do you like lo'delvo deup Into hidden things, J and try to fathom many mysteries? You have 3 only to go to the Itible for that kind of readingI and there you tlnd prophetic seers peering Into ? futuro ages as yet unknown to common men) You will Und visions and dreams, tho interpref tatlon of which battles philosophers, and propha clcs for which men are yet vainly striving to f tlnd a fulfillment. Are you fonJ of law? Then J In tho great Hook of the Daw you tlnd codes . which still serve as the very foundation of our | civil and religious law. p Do you prefer medicine? Then within the 1 sacred page you tlnd how the most stubborn I diseases have been cured, and you read of Him f who was a Pnysician of the body as well as the a Saviour of the soul Do you like debates and . stubborn arguments? Go with l*nul to Mars I Hill, or hear hlti# reason of righteousness, tentf perance and judgment to eotne. Are you fond t of literature? Head the stately sentences ot I .

Then you tlnd that f ih this llook those things necessary for you to . know are so plain that lie that runs may r< ad 5 Whether you aro learned or unlearned, bond or ? free, living a thousand years past, or living a f thousand years in the future, this Hook of 1 books is adopted to you; und in tls perfect ( adaptation to every one lies. 1 think, a part of s its Influence over the individual Ami whatever . may come upon you In this life, whatever ? work. Whatever joy, whatever sorrow, wliatg ever temptation, if you - ill only sincerely go I to this Hook, Its intiucnce over you will be for g good.

The farmer, as he follows his plow, i| learns of a seedtime and a harvest: of the sou P shine and the ralu, and is taught there. having y laid his hand to the plow in tho taints of life, . he must not lood hack. The housewife, as she " goes about her daily tasks, reaos the rules S which make the happy prosperous home. The oue riding on the waves of prosperity and uc[j cumulating gold hy the millions, is influenced R how to accept his good fortune and how to t spend of his abundance. The one midst the h dark clouds of adversity is envolved hy the [I truths of the sacred pago to see ihe silver ling ing. He, on whom grim death lays his icy hand Is strcgihcned for the long journey, and the . mourners, us they go about the streets dry e their eyes when they remembers the Kesur* s rection and the Life." The sinner turns from _ his evil way, and places his feet in the path of r Godliness, and all these directions and changes P come through the influence of the Word of ,, God. g Again, you will notice that this Influence is y n lasting one; very few other tilings in lilts ,, world urn lasting.
