British and Foreign Bible Society.

On the third Sunday in Lent, 1904 (March 6) this Society hopes to complete its Centenary. All Christian people are asked on that day to thank God for the blessings conferred upon the world by the free circulation of the Holy Scriptures in the vernacular languages. I shall, at the proper time, invite the Clergy of this Diocese to encourage their people in suitable commemoration of the great work the Bible Society has been permitted to do during the last 100 years. The great Missionary Societies of our Communion have thankfully testified to page 14 the work of the Bible Society. Our Church appeals to Holy Scripture for every doctrine she teaches. Our Church prays that the Divine blessing may ever rest upon the teaching of the Bible.
