In an inspiring address on “The Bible and the Bible Society," Rev. Dr. Ramsay emphasized the su- periority of this prsclzlll iscai: over all the great mmterpicces of liter- ature. He pointed out that neither Homer, nor Dante, nor Shakespeare equals the Bible in touching so many chords of human passion, in interpreting so wide n. compass of Hpviience. In other literature, even m! Hottest, the background of the Eternal Pate preserves an awful silence; but in the Bible the Back-
