Though a reipectal.le number t i

rnizatin f thia Suciety, it waa not
till the following Uet ember, that we
received any Biblea from the National
Sotiety. bevcral ciuse united for a
time to retard our operation", but car
ty in December bit, we had tht h.p-
ri to receive liberal donation, ol
50 Utiles and 50 Testaments Irom the
American Bible Society. Some of
your manager will not aoon forget the
Icehngt and hopes which the arrival
of this supply of the word of God ex
cited. This timely donation was con
sidered as the presage of a more am
pie aupply, the commencement .f our
abor of love. The rapid circulation
of these copies of the aacred volume,
produced a deep interest in, behalf oi
the Society, and brought more distinct
to the knowledge of your managers
e wants of the destitute around us.
In May last, we received another
donation of 50 Uiblea and 50 Testa
ments from the Parent Institution.
I'he amount of both these Jonativna at
first cost in New. York, is 8120 10 ct.
With this last-donation, wc ibtained
on a credit 200 Biblea and 50 Testn
mcnti, valued at 2 152, and nuking a
total of 300 Bibles and 150 Tcbtamcnts.
It was thought that these copies of the
Holy Scriptures would be enough to
supply the destitute id our county 7
but they are nearly all in circulation,
and the call for Biblea continues. to
reach ua from every direciiom -
A coniide.rable jiurnber of Biblea
and Testaments have been circulated
among that class of Society, which
without the interposition of christuu
benevolence, would, in all probability
have remained destitute of the wordoi

families, in his own immediate neigh
borhood with Bibles. They were ready
to purchase the aacred volume as aoon
as it was presented to them. But if
it had not been literally brought to
their very doors, they might have lived
and died without ever having posses
sed a copy 6f the Holy Oracles. - A
third manager, who haa either sold or
distributed 25 Bibles and Testaments,
writes thus: " I find the common ob
jection against Bible Societies, that the
people are able to buy Bibles, entirely
unfounded, for most of the persons J
have supplied with them, would frank
ly tell me,-they were noi able to pay
for them, and I have no doubt buUhey
told me the truth."- -

I Societies would be an incalculable blciT
sin g to our - countrjy -sineibe world f
through the medium of these benevo
lcnt institutions. Bibles of a superior
quality are obtained on much better
terms than they can be even of our
city booksellers. Is it desirable to
purchase our English and West India
goods on moderate terms, then why
not equally desirable to procure Bibles
of an excellent quality on"the same
terms -Are people prodigal of "their
mouejr because it ir ripraded n reli

has received, cost in NewYork, 272

at our stores in Western Carolina for
less than-g-400, making in our small

unable to urge one plausible argument,
that has not been again and again abun

aod " confident assertions" will never
pass with the friends of tht Bible for
sound argument. They do no credit,
either to the intelligence or candor of
the man who employs them, and on
reflecting minds, they will ever raise
doubts respecting the goodness of a
course w hich is unsupported by better
argument. IJibic Societies are, under
God, indebted for their existence, and
unparallcd success, to a benevolence
too disinterested, and trio active to es
cape the opposition of men, whose
lives are at variance with the precepts
of the sacred volume. But an Al
mighty arm is stretched out far the
protection and advancement ol their
noble iiisliluiiona. Who can cast an

Societies, and not be deeply impressed
with the belief that they are destined

Truth over the world i The British
