The managers of thit Society meet
their coDititucoti at ton aecooa anni
versary, with emotions of regret, and
at the Mine time of giadaces.
It will be recollected that this Soci
ety and its Board of Managers was
formed abd organised aa such on the
twenty irventh fay of June, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eigat
Lundred and twenty three, by the
adoptioa of a cumtitution ia which the
third Wedneaday of Auguat U made
the day of ita anniversary meetings.
The ahortneta of the time, which in-
tenrcned from the commencement of
Ua existence to it brai anniversary,
Induced the Society to dispense with
the requiretnt ota of a report from ihe
Hoard, of their proceedings, aunng
that time I no report having been aioce
made by tbc Dnard, it is deemed pro
per, in reporting the proceedings af
the closing year, bricfiiy to state for
the information of those members,
who have not regul.rly attended thcj
meetings, and others .f its fiiends,
what were the proceedings of the
Board daring that period.
On the 27th diy of June, 1823,
thi board was orptnized and made to
v t
consist of the following persons, viz. ;
The Hon. John fuxton, ucn. Ueorge
WaUob, l)r. J arms Hamilton, Robert
WcAfr, beujaniin H. Bradley, Jo
eph Bowen, Jacob Michal, Noble
Hanaihoo, William Green, Rev. Ber
rvmao Hicks, Walter B. Kutberford,
Joseph McD. Carson, Esq. Elijah
Pattnn, jun. George Watson, David
Dickf y, George Jones, Marvill Mills,
Joseph Green, sea. Kev. Pementer
Morgan, Daniel Carson, James Gra
ham, Esq. William McKinney, Ilev.
Jamea Arthur, John McDowell, and
Martin Shufford.
The first oljrct hat engaged the at
tention uf your Board, wm, to devise
means to dispel the doubts which ex
isted ia the minds of some, as to the
fooraliziug and chriaiuniz.ng tenden
cy of such institutions, upn the pro.
pie within the sphere of its operations,
and the 'jonest application of its funds j
and thereby to expose to view the
falsehoods nd calumnies, which have
been, aud are continued to be, so lav-

committee in pursuance of such in

of five hundred copies, with a copy of

practicable! a portion of which has
been received and are now on hand ;

The ffeard was then adjourned to
the fifth day fliovembar, arhe&there
was a meeting t it was aicertaieed
that there was mo business to act upon.
and the meetiog adjourned to the ae.
cotd Tuesday of rebruary, n$ u,
1824 1 to this appointment there waa
no attendance by the managers I the
second Tuesday i May was made
ihe time for the next meeting, by een-
stitutioBal requirement, and the olu
cers were notified j and again there
was no rxricn attended. To what
cause shall we impute this neglect j
shall we say, that it was indolence,
avarice, or parsimony I that, by with.
holding our attendance, we shall pro.
cure tne exuncnon i to vtiaiiun,
which, while it affwrda us no benefit,
it is drawing for its support, from the
means which afford ua comfort? We
trust rot. Then let not the exertions
which have been made, be loat in a
careless, sinfol apahvt but let us with
renovated zeal puah forward in th
tlorious work, which we have uader
ukco i and let our worka shew forth
to our opponents that we labour for
the good of their souls, and the glory
f God. Let ua enquire whence it
haa come to pass, thit christian na
tions, who for agea past have regar
ded the welfate of Heathens with in-
differtace, and whose intercourse with
thtm, has been regulated by the re
sults f military, political and com
mercial calculations, have recently felt
such unprecedented concern for the
salvation of their souls, and simulta
neously concerned in measures and
means for that purpose i Whence has
it come to pass that so many individ
uala of various professions and occu
pationa, who in the ordinary course of.
human affairs, confine their specula
tions, resources aad energies to the
acquisition of temporal happiness and
prosperity for themselves and families,
nave become ao ready and noxious to
supply heathenish strangers, in remote
regions, with the meaoa of obtaining
eternal felicity? Who baa opened
their hearts to do these things? It will
be acknowledged that worldly wisdom
is little conversant with the traosceo-
dant affairs of that kingdom which is
not of this world i and has neithtr
ability to comprehend, nor inclination
to further them. To what adequate
cause, then, can we attribute these ex
traordinary events, but to the wisdom
that is given from above?
Not Bible Societies only, but the
various other Societies, who in differ
ent waya are forwarding the "great
work, have abundant reason to rejoice
and be thankful for the many blessings
that have prospered their endeavours.
Let ua therefore persevere ta ob
taining and distributing the Scriptures
without note or comment as far as our
means will permit: We are assured
that they are profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruc
tion in righteousness. They contain
the inestimable writings by which the
inspired Apostles, who were com
manded to preach the Gospel to every
creature, have transmitted it through
many agea down to our day, The
Aposrteserr7ipTiedi(rpreaching
the Gospel, yet they persisted t We
are opposed ty some in dispensing the
Scriptures which convey the knowl
edjre of it let us follow their exam
pie. Ao eminent counsellor cave
excellent advice to his adversanea :
And his reasoning affords a salutary
admonition to our opponents j that ad
vice deserves our attention, and con
clude, in these very remarkable words ;
" Refrain from these men, and let
them alone, for if this counsel or this
work be of men it will come to nought:
but if it be of God ye eamu
thow it lt haply ye be found fight
ing against God."

Feb, 10, 182. This morning a
Turk of considerable distinction waa
buried. This event wss early announ.
ced by the scrcsms f the women aa
lacy passed mourafully along to the
place 'f intermeot. They, being col
Ucted in gf eat numbers, and in still
greater numbers among the graves,
wrapped, as they are on all cc:aKos,
in a targe white heet, smote upon their
breasts or waved their handkerchiefs
in the air, snd e,dlieiin?; the deceased,
cried, "Yvu arc tore! vou are no
tbicg! you are de.d! You have no
mother to weep over your grave! you
have no aistcr to wet p over your grave !
Whv did you die ! O why did vou
die ? They would then veat their feel,
logs in the loudest screams, and appear
frantic wiih grief. Aft" this had en.
tiiued more than an hour, being re
peated ou every accession to their num.
bcrs, a large coacurse of men appear,
ed with the corpse, and with varioos
garments and anitlcs of ihe deceased,
and with tebout twenty banners unfur
led. They walked fast, all singing and
bowing down their heads to trc earth.
The standards were placed, several to
gethor, in opposite points near the
zntvf , and all the men arranging them-
. a a. I.
iclves around them, went through tneir
oeric- on a low keyofveice, but with
.11 their strength, and at the same time
bowing their heada and bodies, with
all tf.e violence possible. The body is
always, I believe, taken out of the
coffio to be placed benr-ih the gmund,
and the colhu returned to tne city lor
future occasions. Every morning and
aud evening, for perhaps a mjnth, the
friends visit the Rrave i the women and
children to stnrw mvrde upon it, and
the men to say pravers with the vehe
mence above uticr.b.:d. I his burial
place I should think, contained not less
thjn ten acres of crourd. There ar
two others near the city, which are not
so larce. The graves are generally
arranged with great order and neat
ness.
As we walked along, and viewed
these numerous "grassy hillock!," on
the right hand and on the left, and
asked, " Where are now the souls thut
once animated the bodies of this great
congregation of the dead f it has been
an awful reflection, that not one pro
fessed foltaw of the Laub rests in gen
tie slumber here.
2 1 . Our hearts were cheered bv the
arrival of tbe Rev. Mr. Cook, a mis
stonarv from hncland. He was sent
out by the Methodist Missionary So
cietyand sprnt several weeks at Malta
to the rasnilv f our dear brother Tem
