THE LONDON ANNIVERSARIES,
British and. Foreign Bible Society
Eloquent Speech of Geo. H.Stuart,Esq.
- The Anniversary of the British and
Foreign Bible Society was held at Exeter
Hall, May 2, the Earl of Shaftesbury pre
siding. 'Amongst other speakers, the meet
was addressed by Geo. H. Stuart, Esq.; and
Rev. R. J. Parvin, of Philadelphia. We are
only able to find room for the speech of the
former.
He said: My Lord, it affords me great
Pleasure to have the honor of seconding . . the
resolution which has just been Moved., and
so eloquently supported by my 'Christian
brother who last, addressed .you. r appear
before you to-day as a most, unworthy re
presentative, if not of the oldest member of
your family,,certainly one of the' largest. of
your children. cLoad cheers.] I regret_that
child ,of yours" which has grown . to
each proportions in. its adopted country, is
not better rePresiented on this occasion. I
owe :the position avhich I occupy, to- 7 day
doubtless to. he relation which under God
I was Called Upon: to sustain to the army
which went forth to subdue the Slaveholdere
Sebellion; The. American Bible Society wee
bornlii the year -1816, and,next week, attains
its fiftieth year. , During that year it had
special, work assigned :
.to it, bat to 'the
special work will not now farther refer.
have the honor of beingsgpported upon this
occasion by a brother from my own_city;
whole a distinguished member-of the Pro
teatant, Eidscopal Church. lam a Presby
terian and he is an . Ephicopaliart,, but we
have stood side by side in many of the
battles of the late • war, and. - minis
tered- alike to the soldiers of the - Con :
•federate army and the soldiers of the Union
army. [Loud cheers.] The American Bible
Societi during the past year issued from its
depositories 951,945 volumes, and daring
the fifty years of its existence it has issued
21,660,679 volumes of the Word of God. It
received last year $642,645, that, was $35,000
lese than, the sum received in the preceding
year, but that falling off was mainly owing
to a diMinution in legacies, while the gen
eral receipts are as large as ever. These re
ceipts are the moreextraordinary inasmuch
as since the termination of the war every
,religions body haa been called upon to
snake _renewed efforts for the preaching of
the gospel to the black man as well as
to : the white man, and unusual
sums bave been raised for that purpose.
[Loud cheers.] It will not be out of place
to tell you that the congregation over which
my brother presides sOlllO six or seven miles
from Philadelphia, and being in what may
be regarded as a mere rural district, con
tributed to this great object a sum not less
than 55,000 dollars. [Loud cheers.] The
capacity of the Bible Society was taxed to
the utmost during the war, and such was
the demand for the Word of God during
that period that the printing-presses of the
Society were nnableto meet it,although they
never failed during the whole period to issue
twelve copies per minute of working hours,
and never less than nine. When the war
commenced we had an army of 16,000 men
scattered from Maine to California, but in
the course of a very short time there were
called into the field 2,000,000 of men—yoang
men from schools and seminaries—young
men unused to the hardships of the battle
field; and the Christian people of the land
felt that we ought not only to follow these
young men with our prayers, but that we
ought above all to furnish, them with the
bread of life, through the gospel of Jesus
Christ. During the four years of the strug
gle there were distributed among the army
and navy alone over 2,000,000 copies of the
Bible. [Loud cheers.] The principal agency
for that distribution was the United States
Christian Commission which distributed
1,466,748 copies, all of which were received
gratuitously from the - American Bible
Society with the exception of 15,000 copies
forwarded to us from your own depository;
and lam here to-day to return you oar
grateful thanks for that contribution. It
• was one of a most welcome description, and
", there was hardly an officer commanding a
corps, division, or a brigade in the whole,
army who was not supplied with one of
your elegantly bound volumes. A copy
was thus supplied to one of the General
Havelocks of our army—for we had many
of them—to General Howard, and I
can myself bear testimony to the
Christian spirit displayed by that gallant
officer on the bloody - field of Gettysburg
and in several other of the great engage
ments of the war. We not only received
from this Society 15,000 copies of God's
Word, but we also received an assurance
that if we drew at sight our drafts would
be honored. We felt grateful for that noble
offer; but, thanks be to God, our own So
ciety had means placed in its treasury
which enabled it to meet every want. Let
me now allude to one of the many incidents
in the American war. I don't know what
"the Old Lady in, Toreadneedle street," as
the Bank of England is called, would say if
she were asked to give £5 for a copy of a note
which .1 hold in my hand; bat she would
probably say—"We don't do business in
that way:" 'This is a cony of a note sent by
a poor woman in England during the war to
buy Bibles for the soldiers of the North. Fifty
or a hundred guineas would not buy the
original, for it has brought in more than
half a million dollars to our treasury; and
if you have any difficulty, my lord, with re
gard to your building fund, it might per
haps be well if you were to" borrow it. The
original of that note is as follows:
"Dear Presidept—l hope yea will pardon
me for troubling you. Ohio is my native
State, and "I so much wish to send "a trifle iu
the shapeof a 51. Bank of England note to
buy Bibles for the poor wounded soldiers of
the North, which I hope they may read. •
"Yours very respectfully,
``MARY TALBOT SORBY.
"Fir-Cliff, Derbydale, Derbyshire, Eng
land." . -
[Loud cheers.] Let me now say a word or
two about our United States Christian Corn
mission,which exerted itself so much among
our, soldiers during the war. That Com
mission was simply the Churah of Christ in
all her branches in an organized form,going
forth in the time of war, as our blessed
Master went through the streets of Jerusa
lem and along the shores of Galilee. Some
might ask where did these men get their
commission to go forth to the army, carry
ing bread for the body in one hand and the
Bread of Life in the other. I believe that
they got it from the example of our Saviour
himself. We sent forth the Bible and other
books by the hands of live men, not mere
perfunctory agents. There ; were ministers
who came to us, and offered themselves for '
the work; but we said, "No ; you have not
succeeded at home, and you are not likely
to, sticeeed in the army." [Laughter and
applause.] We wanted only live men to
undertake the work men who are
willing to put off the black hat and the
white cravat and would put on the
army shirt and the army pants, and if
need be, mould undertake to make with his
own hands gruel for the soldiers. I will tell
' you what happened. on one occasion. A rev.
doetor of divinity was 'engaged making
gruel for the soldiers, and was putting into
the gruel -something that would make it
more palatable. Some of. the soldiers were
busily engaged watching his movements,
and one of them exclaimed, "Go it, Doctor,
put some more of that stuff in, and it will be
the real Calvinistic grueL" • [Great laughter
and applause.]: ;In anothertase, a man saw
a rev. doctor engaged washing bloody shirts
in a brook, and he called out to him, "Doc
tor, what are you doing?" The doctor re-
plied, "The shirts supplied to the army are
exhausted, and also those of our own Com
mission '.The 'Nvollnded'gre suffering
their stiffened and clotted shirts. and I
thought I might undertake to wash a few
of them in the brook. Do you think I am
wrong?" "Wrong!' said the' other. "Oh,
no. I never saw you walking so closely in
the line of your Divine Master before."
[Great - applause.] These then , kift - ve not
only adminksterecito the bodily wants of the
soldiers, but to their moral and chiefly to
their spiritual necessities. They circulated
upwards of eight millions of copies of knap
sack books, including such works as New
man Hall's Come`to Jesus, Mr. Reid'is .Blood
of the Oross. [Applautie.] The history of
these books will never be written. They
came back to the families of the soldiers in
America, 'many of them stained with their
former owners' blood. They became heir
looms of those families and they will never
be parted with. [Applause.] Besides these,
there' were eighteen""million' copies of our
best religious newspapers issued to the army
fresh as they appeared from the press. The
total:receipts 4of the4Committee were sirand
a quarter million - of dollars. 'The books,
itkc., were distributed by 5,000 unpaid agents.
How did we get these agents? They got
nothing for their labors. We would not
employ any agents who wanted pay for
their- work; except,. a ,detv - permanentrmen
to supefintend'the Work. 'Brit'You - willtday
"the laborer is worthy of his hire." Yes, that
is very true, but in our case our agents were
paid by theirowmcongregations. We have
gone to wardens ofachurch and said we want
your pastor to labor for us for a few months.
We have gone to the minister himself in
hit pulpit, and, at our requeache haa closed
his sermon andtakeit witthirrfa few neceit
series and goneforth to his work. And these
men did get pay—pay
. far richer than was
ever celned: , du any mint =- it ‘was the "God
bless you," of the dying soldier. [Great ap-
Blause.] That excellent and _holy man,
ishop M'llvainelapplause], who is so well
known in this country, as he was once
goinethrongh a field of conflict, asked - who
that man was with his coat off and his -shirt
sleeves tucked uP,*lio was carrying in one
hand a pail oflemonade and in the o ther a pail
of farina, while under one arm was a roll of
shirts and under the other was a roll of
of drawers, and his knapsack filled with
reading matter.; 4 "Oh," ;said 'that is
the Rev. Mr. So-and-so." The good
Bishop stopped, tears filled his eyes, and
he exclaimed, "I never saw a minster walk
so closely in the steps of his Divine Master
before." [Applause.] But I must .hasten
on. It may be said in this work of distribu
ting the Bible, "Was there no waste?" I am
bold to say there, was not. I have myself
distributed many thousand copies of the
Bible, and I never met with a refusal but
one, and that was from a German infidel.
Now I belong to that portion of young
America which was born in Ireland—ex
cuse me for that [laughter], and Ido not
know what it is to give in. [Laughter and
applause.] So I thought I would endeavor
to take the German infidel by a flank
movement,. I called his attention to the
beauty of the book; it was very handsomely
got up. I told him it was what is called
Cromwell's Bible, and I told him how
Cromwell's soldiers read thiS book
and how it enabled them to
fight so vigorously; but still I
gained nothing by my flank movement. I
was about to leave him, when I thought I
would make another attempt. I asked him
where he was from? "From. Philadelphia."
"Philadelphia! why that is my own city."
He brightened up at this, and asked the
street wkere I lived. I told him in such
and such street, and I said I am goine• t' back
there, and I expect to tell the result of my
labors in the largest Protestant Episcopal
Church in that city on Sabbath evening
next. Don't be alarmed Bpiscopalians and
Presbyterians, at the fact of &layman like
myself being allowed to speak there.
[Laughter.] "Well," he said, "and what
will you say ?" shall tell them that I
have been engaged for so long a time in dis
tributing Bibles among our soldiers, that I
never met with bill one refuelli, and thathe
was a soldier from our own city." "Well;
and what rmore will you say?""Why, I
shall tell them that I began to distribute
Bibles this morning, and thatl began at the
White House—a place somewhat like your
Buckingham Palace, only not so fine.
"And who was the first man to whom I
offered a. copy?—why, it was to President
Abraham Lincoln. [Applause.] When I
went to see the President he was writing,
and when I handed him a, copy of Crom
well's Bible he stood up—and you know he
was a very tall man and took a long time
to straighten. [Laughter.] He received
the Bible and made me a low bow and
thanked me, and now I shall have to go
back and tell him that one of his soldiers
who was fighting his battles refused to take
the book which he had accepted so gladly."
The German softened at once. He said,
"Did the President take the Book? Well,
then, I guess I may take one too." [Great
applause.] I must say I don't-think that
in distributing 5,000 copies there were more
than two or three refusals and these were
Roman Catholics, while tam glad to say
hat many of these gladly and thankfully
received the word of God. [Applause.] But
was there any waste of the hooks so
received? No, sir, a soldier - would part with
anything rather than his New Testament ;
and, said a little fellow, a soldier from Pitts
burgh, to his comrade, when .the Union
army was repulsed from the the heights' of
Fredericksbergh, when the 'rebels were
pouring in shot and shell upon our retreat
ing columns, "Joe." said he, "if it were not
that the Testament given me by my mother
is in my knapsack, I would throw it away,
but I can't do' it." [Applause.] Wilful
waste I believe, entirely unknown. I
have been in correspondence, with thou
sands of agents who have been engaged in
this work of distribution, and I have only
heard of one Case where a soldier wilfully
threw away his Bible. I have the copy witu
me here to-days and as my beloved brother
Baptist Noel said that the Word of God
would never return:to him 'void, so I am
here to say that though this soldier, with a
wicked and diabolical heart, threw away his
Testament in the streets:of Memphis, that
Testament was •picked up by another sol
dier, himself also careless and wicked, but
who was led, from the_ reading of it, to the
foot of the cross, where he found
pea'ee and joy. [Applause.] , He sent
that copy to the American Bible So
ciety, who treasure it as a relic, or rather as
a memento of the war. [Hear, hear.] The
Bible was not only instrumental in saving
the souls; there are hundreds of cases
where it was also instrumental in saving
the lives of the soldiers. Here is a copy
[holding it-.up] which was published in
England by Messrs. Eyre and Spottis:
woede. That Testament has 'a history
which, it could speak, I might well remain
silent. It ran the blockade [laughter]; it
found its *ay to a soldier of the Southern
army, who placed it in his bosom, and here
is the hole which was made by a bullet
from one of the Union soldiers, which, en
tering at the last chapter of the Revelation,
penetrated through,to the first chapter of
Matthew, and grazing the outer
cover, saved the man's life [Applause.]
There were hundreds of such copies pre
served up in numerous families throughout
America, and money could not' purchase
them. [Hear, hear]. The desire to receive
copies of the Word of God is not to be de
scribed. I stood on the top of an ofrinibui
in the midst 015,000 soldiers on a hill of 'Vir
ginia, and they all clamored round me for
books to, read. - A delegate of the Society
went up to the first Tennessee cavalry, and
he wrote me a letter, the substance of which
was, "Dear Brother Stuart--I never bought
a pack of cards but once, and I want to tell
you the circumstance under which I bought
them. I came to a spot where 'I
found four
young men, mere boys they were, and
might be the sons of pious mothers, and

`That is just.what we want. —We are play:-
ing - with these cards,''because time
hangs so heavy on our hands . in
this dull` 'camp-life. We have nothing
to read. We are glad of anything to
pass, the time.' I handed to,each, of them
a copy`of the New Testament.' .".Nowewon't
you be kind enough to write your name in
.it?' they said, -'that we 'may know to
whom .we are indebted for theee books.'
I wrote my name accordingly; and then I
said, 'Now won't yQu be kind enough to
write Rota. names eon - these cards,: that I
may know from whom I . have received
them?' But there = was not one of. them
. who would acknowledge the cards:" [Great
laughter and applause.] But I 'must pass
on. - LUt nee only ''say :that all that has
been writtenbi said as to the effect of the
Wordof God iii the army is. true; and far
more.,_Let me give you one or two instances

heart to Jesus. It hail kept from the evils of
the army, and the vicesiel camp life. It has
brought me thoughon this cold damp earth,
to die a happy, a peaceful, and I-trust a tri
umphant death." [Applause.] He looked
up to heaven with a sweet smile, and
said, "Good -by my wife - and chil
dren, farewell 'my heloved mother,
we shall meet again in heaven." And then,
with a long farewell to weary marches, the
dying soldier passed away attended by
, angels to glory as much as
if he had been at , home. [Applause.]
So at the bloody conflict of the
Stone RiVer, durieg the lull of the fight, the
cries ofa wounded soldierwere heard asking
for assistance, but soon his cries were
drowned in the renewed roar of the artillery.
When the conflict was over, then came the
ghastly work of sorting the dead from the
living. When the men who were detached
for this service reached thespot from whence
these cries proceeded they found a lad of
nineteen, dead, and leaning against the
stump of a tree. His eyes were open though
fixed in death, a celestial smile was on his
• countenance, his well worn Bible was open,
with his finger,cold and stiff in death,point
ing to that passage which has cheered the
heart of many ofa dying Chrietian,"Though
I walk through the valley of the shaddow of
death I will fear noevil,for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
[Great applause.] Oh, mother, wife, sister,
if that had been your son,husband or brother,
who had died under such circumstances,
what would you not give for the possession
of this blessed copy of the Word of God.
[Loudapplause.] And what has been the
effect of the distribution of Bibles in the
army? I want it to be proclaimed over the
whole of this country that in five months
General Grant, the noble hero of our war,
sent over 800,000 soldiers back to their
homes and placesof businesteand it may be
asked what bad been the conduct of these
since their return.' I have seen the returns
that were made in answer to these inquiries,
and, with a few exceptions, they have re
turned home better men than when they
left, they have gone back to their work,
they have saved money,they are in all cases
the better for their service in the army.
And 'I am here to bear to this land glad
tidings from the land of my adoption, that
our Churches, wherever Jesus is faithfully
preached, are being revived, and they are
receiving showers of blessings, so that there
is scarcely room in some places to receive
them. One of our own churches lately re
ceived 128 new members, upwards of 100 or
them men from the world. Another church
received an accession of 155 members,
nearly all of them from the world. A
General in the Union Army wrote to
me a few days before I left America to the
following effect —I have lately had little or
nothing to do with the Army, but notwith
standing, my hands are full, for I am going
about assisting ministers of the gospel to
preach the word. [Hear, hear.] Our prayer
is, that, those showers •of blessings which
are now falling upon us may reach not only
to the Britishlslands but be extended over
all the earth. Oh, my friends, I wish I had
time to tell you how.much I love this So
ciety. But it is time I should bring my
address to a close. England and America
speak the same language, they worship the
same God—Father, Son and Holy Ghost—
they are the two great Protestant nations of
the earth, and woe to the hand that ever
causes blood to flow between them.-. [Great
applause.] England and America—there
may have occasionally risen up difference
of ; opinion between them, but I say here
what I wrote a short time since to a member
of the Washington Cabinet, I said, to him—
Sir, I believe all through this terrible con
flict there are notwo instruments which God
has so used to preserve peace between the
two countries. as the instrumentality of the
British" and. Foreign Bible Society and the
American Bible Society. [Great applause.]
I say God blessthe British and Foreign Bible
Society,God-bless itshonored President [ap
plahse], may he be long spared to carry
on his works of usefulness. God bless the
American Bible Society. [Applause]. Gol
bless its honored'President. [Renewed ap
plause]. God bless the Queen of England;
tong may she reign over a prosperous and
a free country. [Applause]. God bless the
President of the United States. [Renewed
applause]. And now, my friends, my work
is done, pardon the imperfections of my
speech. If I have stammeredin what I have
said I can only say that I spoke out of the
fullness of my heart. Ilong for the coming
of that 'day when,all wars shall cease, and
when Jesus Christ shall rule over all lands.
Mark! the waking np - of nations,
Geg and Mag to-the fray,
Hark! what, acundeih—is creation
Groaning for as latter day?"
With this blessed volume in our hands,
the spirit of God will subdue all his enemies,
and all shall come and bring their trophies
to the Cross of Christ. [The lion. Gentle
man resumed his seat amidst loud and pro.:
longed applause].
At the conclusion of the meeting the Earl
of Shaftesbury said:
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a very great
honor for me to have received your thanks
in connection with , my worthy and excel
lent colleagues. and it is a much-greater
honor to have been now selected Indivi
dually for your own individual and per
sonal thanks. Be assured that I am quite
aware, deeply aware, of the dignity and re
sponsibility pi - the situation which I hold,
and I say from the bottom of my heart,may
God give me grace to sustain it. Now, the
thanks that I have just received, are the
thanks of the meeting here assembled to
me, as the representative of your Bible So
ciety. I had already received -from onr
American friends a blessing, an actual bless-
"We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time,
In an age. on ages telling,
To be living is sublime.
big to inyttelftus your representative from our
brethren in America. [Cheers.] And now
let me-and I know that what I am going
to say will be responded to by every one
here, and not only by 'every one here, but
by every thinking man, and every true
Christian man throughout the realms of
Great Britain—let me say this to our Ame
rican friends here, and I trust that they will
carry'it back to their own country as the
sentiment of the English people-,-that he is
an enemy to Christianity and mankind, a
traitor:to civil and religions liberty, who
would sow ; . dissensions between, England
and America. [Great and prolonged cheer
ing, in the midst of which Mr. Stuart, the
American gentleman who moved a reso
lution rose, and, approaching the Earl of
Shaftesbury, shook hands • with him very
cordially]. Theimeeting then separated.
