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

dreds of consecrated men in almost
every land are going from city to
town, from hamlet to Mouse, from palace
to hovel, showing by their work
the marks of-their love, and having in
their hands this book?selling to those
able to.buy, giving without money and
without price to those who have not ?
that is-in every home and in every
hand, if possible, this book may find a |
resting place. 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

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

that had it not been for this Bible 01
language might have been weak ai

that time when our language w

came the great foundation stone (
which and about which the grai
structure of modern English w;
built.

J wild, selfish desires fell so deep in

the different nations of the world. I

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

I believe, begun with individuals, and Ihrour
8? them have reached bodies of men and gover
