YOUR C:ommittee are again, in the course of Providence, call ed upon to give an account of their tl'allsactions for the past year. However much they regret the causes of their want of more ex t~nded success in augmenting the funds of your society, or in stir nng up others to forward the, good cause, yet knowing that the Rlllall measme 01 success which they have experienced is from the hand of God, and that he has the hearts of all men in hi8 hands. and can gl'ant greater success when he ~hall see it fit for accom plishing His designs; they would leave their cause with Him praying that JIe woulJ exert that influence which is beyond tho power of man, for carrying on his own work. ,,,e know that the circulation of the Bible is the 'vork of God; he wrote it for the pur pose (for it is all his own diction) ; and there is not a single ground of doubt that the knowlcdge of God, as it is exhibited in the Bible, wil! soon cover the earth. However painful it may be to ,yitness opposition in so good a cause, and a great deal of carelessness and indifference-however few may be fonnd who heartily entcr into its merits, and exert themselves as in a work of God-yet the time is !lot far distant when the word of the Lord shall have free course and be glorified-when the knowledge of Him and of his Son Je sus Christ shall cover the eartb-when Zion shall strengthen her stakes and lengthen her cords, and the watchmen of Zion shall lift up the voice together. These are the objects your Society aim at; 'Ve know well our little auxiliary is but like a grain of sand on the sea shore, or as a drop of the bucket hefore Him. but God can make a mountain of grains of sand, and an ocean of drops of wa· ter-and as he collected the numerous drops of this fluid to drown the world, so He unites individuals into societies, and societies in to an unconquerable phalanx, to accomplish his great designs. Sometimes a numerous and well disciplined army sustains a shock, and is like to give way; but the commander coomes ur, he points out the awful discrrace of a failure, and shows, III glowmg colours, the advantaO"es ;f victory. This arouses the dormant energies of the soldi~r-a great eirort is made until a full victory is obtain ed. Soldiers of the cross, look at this!

YDur Captain has DverCDme death, and him that had the pDwer Df death--that is the devil. He has reo leased YDU frDm bDndage-YDu are Christ's freemen. No. man can fall in this warfare-every sDldier willl'eceive a crDwn Df glDry! an inheritance incDrruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth nDt away. Be nDt ashamed then Df the GDspel Df Christ, it has been the pow ~ er Df God to. your salvation. Give that to others which has been so. blessed to. YDnrselves, and by YDur indi vidual exertiDns YDU may hDpe to. be. the hDnDred instruments of advancing the time when the spirit Df the ancient martyrs shall animate every Christian bD~ som, as the spirit Df Elijah did that of John the Baptist; so that no. Christian will be found who. will not exert his utmost influence to prDmDte the kingdDm Df Christ. Such days al'e promised-loDk for them, and use every means to bring them about. It will, doubtless, be expected that in Dur yearly report we ahDuld say sDmething Df that sDciety of which we are a distant and' a feeble auxiliary. We are happy to. say that there never was It mDre full display of Christian love and unanimity displayed at any of their former meetings, than at that which took place on the 7th of May last, at which the Right Hon. Lord Bexley, the new presi. dent of the Society, filled the chair. The Parent InstitutiDn, !\Iay before last,* had auxiliaries, 291 -branches, 411-associations, 2,019-Total, 2,721; 800 of these are cDnducted by Ladies.

By cash received from Ladies' Association £17. To. tal payments to Treasurer for the year, £260 11 7!. Expended by the Treasurer, £362 12 4. Balance in Treasurer's hands, £41 17 O!. Due to the Parent Society, £450. This, besides the 2,000 copies received as a depot, and besides, formerly received, 225 Bibles and 455 Testament~, and 50 Bibles and 100 Testameuts sent for emigrants, for your Committee to deal out, this autumn. Such is the general condition of your Society. We did ex· pect to give a more favorable account, and that the increase of our funds and sales would have kept pace with the increase of our population, but it is well known that the times have been unfavor. able for farmers, merchants and mechanics, and that, with very few exceptions, money has been very scarce with all classes of the community. 'Ve think the account would have been more favora. ble had an agent visited the different branches in the country. But we are sorry that just at the time your agent was prepared to visit them the cholera appeared in our city, and during its prevalence attention to personal and family interests appeared to be the path of duty, and since then personal affliction has detained him from this important duty. Your Committee also regret that from various circumstances the Ladies' Association has not been in so effective operation as was expected. But from the fact that the efforts of a few members of that Association have succeeded in collecting up. wards of £17, it is evident that a little exertion is all that is ne· cessary to make this a most important part of your Society. To these things we must submit, however relur.tantly. and we must stiIl regret that the influence of the world, and the prejudices of some who are otherwise enlightened, stand as great obstacles in the way of our success. . Our closing remarks in this report must be of a mIxed nature, consisting of praise to God for what he has done, and regret that much more has not been done. But tho character of that God in 12 REPORT.

whose service we nre employed, nnd the nature of our engagernBnt, viz. to circulate the pure word of God without note or comment; forbid us to despair. The work is of God and mllst prosper: tho hearts of all men are in his hanus, and we hope that ere n''''<£ meet. ing some of those who at present icel no interest in circulating the Bible, will, from a sense of duty, and from an experience of the power of the Gospel in their own hearts, become warm Rupporters of this Society. With regard to tl.e sales having diminished, it is plain that many branch Societies have still a supply c,{' their for· mer orders, and, as they were large we cannot expect them often repeated j but we also lear there is too little exertion made by th" professed friends of the Society. The Parent Society have lately Bent us 50 Bibles and 100 Testaments, to give to poor cmigrall!s, with an order to give more, if needed, at their expense. Were we to adopt the noble spirit breathed in their resolution, to give every slave who could read, and should be liuerated on the 1st of August last, a copy of the New Testament and Psalms, at Christmas, we, might expect a blessing from God, so as we might prosper. It has been doubted whether this could be efiected, Lut we have little doubt tLat the committee will fulfil their engagement; and it appears from the monthly extracts published by that Society, for September and October last, that they were in a fair way of raising the whole sum necessary for carrying their resolution into eflect viz. £20,000 and this over and above the ordinary annual subscriptions and do. nations. Indeed, about the end of October one half had been paid , in, and the spirit of the people was only arousing to their duty. The resolutions passed at Society meetings throughout Great Bri. tain, and the donations given, of hundreds and fifties of pounds by individuals, prove that the friends of truth universally approved of this noble resolution. It is worthy to be noted too, that when the resolution wal made known to the slaves, many of-them TI,solved to prepare for receiving the invaluable gift, by learning in read. Your Committee hope these things will have weight with you, that you wil! resolve to do something great in so good a cause, and that you will carry your resolutions into full effect. Men are ashamed to break their engagements with men-can a Christian then hold up his face before that God to whose ser vice he has made so many resolutions that were never carried into ef. feet-No !-We must repent of past neglect of duty, and hence. forth press on with vigor and Christian zeal in circulatinO' that word which is able to make men wise unto salvation. Let ~s ask means, and the \V,i~dom to apply them, from Him that giveth to all hberallyand upbraldeth not. Let us unite as one man in this good work; let us not grow wearY in prosecuting it, for in due time we shall reap if we faint not •.
