We State,there. on authority, that during this first 1 ill ili<> tlx* ivj11r>^4 from II in nil depository have been 216,G20 i s ami trstaments. This number, iifh much larger than the issues ol same months in any previous year, ss by 33,380 than one third o! the ual distribution contemplated by the lutions. 11 these resolutions then to bf executed it will be seen that eased . florts ??re d. in.mded on the ol auxilaries an 1 iVicuds ome liltv or sixiv oi the auxilaries in ~ ? renl Slates are enlarging their tlisutions at a rate which would more ? c.irry out the purpose of these resojms, couIII they but be followed by others. Let others, as their anniveres occur, enter on the same work ; nrft llieir r^sni'i'tivn fields: m:ilrp r?nl. ions, order books, appoint distribu, or hire a local agent for a few iths, and the 75u,OOu copies contented, and even more, can be put in cirition, before the next anniversary, 'hat there is need of such a distribuno one can doubt who will read in lust annual report of the number of ilies found destitute the past year in am counties in Massachusetts, )de Island, New York, PennsylvaOliio, Indiana, Kentucky, North olina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alain.

The ine of the first four months of the pres year wus#70,562 43, while that lis year for tho like months is 869,57. It will be seen then, that in ying out the resolution in question, y atul particular attention must be to collections and remittances. >se auxilaries in debt for books should as little; time as possible in making tnenf, and those who purpose to aid donations will see the importance of r early assistance. must be farther stated, that while :ing increased exertions for the supof our own country with the bible, nust not attempt to shut our eyes to t the providence of God is demandof us in foreign lands. uring these first four months of the * many an application has come i abroad for the scriptures, or for Is to print them.
