To the friendt of the Bible throughout JYorth Carolina. It is generally known, that the Arneri can Bible Society, at its annual meetins in May, I829, adopted the resolution of supplying, in two years, ail the destitute families in the United States with the Ho ly Scriptures. The Society did not ad opt this memorable resolution without solemn deliberation, without bting fully aware of the magnitude of the enterprise which they were about to undertake, and without having received r. u.T.erou plede- es of valuable assistance' from distinguis hed friends of tho liihle cauie, in differ ent sections of the country. Such "an enterprise oeeds only to be mentioned, in order to commend itself to the patriot ism, the philanthropy, and the niatv of thw wnole nation.. Tk- pit4r Introduc tion ol the sacred wrinngs into "eight hundred thousand families" which have been hitherto " unoleswed" with the ora cles of God, must ex-rt an influence on our population and be attended' with re sults which no fioite mind can estimate.

One of them will probably pro ceed as far east as Camden and Curri tuck, the other, as far west as lliywood and Macon. A few counties have formed, societies, and commenced with a good degree of zeal the benevolent work of supplying their destitute families with Bibles with out waiting to be visited by an agent- As the field which we are culled to occupy is very extensive, and tbo time allotted us to accomplish a great work is short, we hops other counties will exhibit equal zeal in this glorious cause.
