But as the furors which Infidelity has now assumed am
novel and peculiar, the Society have also thought it neces-
sary to vary, in some degree, their ordinary wodes of opera-
tion. A Committee has, therefore, been appointed for the
special purpose of searching for other Tracts, not at present
on the Society's List, of opening new channels for distribu-
tion, and of circulating, at the lowest prices, such other
Tracts and Papers as may be called forth by the occasion,
and may appear to them best suited to the exigency of the
moment. And it is proposed, by the means of the Commit-
tee, to extend to the Public at large those advantages of pur-
chase and distribution which have hitherto been confined to
the Members of the Society, and every facility will be afford-
ed by the Committee in London, and by the Diocesan and
District Committees in the country, to all those pious and well-
disposed persons, whether Members of the Society or'not,who
may be desirous of giving to these Tracts that effective circu-
lation which it is the especial object of the Society to obtain.
In order to carry into effect these extended operations, the So-
ciety have.already appropriated the sum of 10001. from their
general Lund to this specific object. And they look confidently
to the Friends of Christianity for such cordial and zealous
aid, as may enable them to give the fullest effect to their en-
deavours. They trust that they shall be assisted by the
powerful and the active in the diffusion of 'these salutary
publications through all parts of the country; and that, in
every place where the Word of God shall be assailed, tbd
weapons also of defencc fluty be at hand, to repel the attacks
of the Blasphemer. They trust that, from the pious and the
wealthy, they shall find that liberal assistance, which such
extensive measures will require; and that, while they are
engaged in the anxious defence of all that is sacred and dear
to Christians, their exertions will not be allowed to languish,
for the want of due co-operation and support.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWL.WW

• ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. '
A T a time when the Enemies of Christiaktity
'I.-L., are em•ployed in disseminating the poison of Blasphemy
and Infidelity to an unparelleled eXtent, THE SOCIETY
FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDt consider
it their peculiar duty to call into action all the means witlaip
their power to arrest the progress of the • evil.- Upon the
magnitude of that evil they deem it unnecessary to
The.signs of the times are, in themselVes; sufficiently alarm-
ing. But the success which,- under the blessing of Protti-
deuce, has for more than a century attended the labours
of
the Society in the sacred cause, gives thim the assurance
that, now in the hour of peril, their appeal to the attention
of the Public will not be Made in vain.
Without a general co-operation, however, of the Friends of
Christianity, the exertions of the Society, as a collective body,
will be productive of a comparatively confined and partial
benefit. Upon their own part, the Society have not been in--
active. Directing their attention in the first instance to the ‘,
Religious Works already on Aviv silt; they have published
ran
the most popular forth, and at very reduced prices, such as
appeared to them best calculated to check the growth of irre-
ligion. The extraordinary demand for these Tracts which
may be anticipated, joined to the reduction of prices which
has taken place, will, of necessity, be attended with much ad-
ditional expense. This expence, however, the Society (al-
though their revenue has not, in general, exceeded the
calls which have been made upon them) are anxious to meet
out of their ordinary funds.
