Trinitarian Bible Society.

The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to
publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures,
in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the
translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes
of the poor and Ignorant, whom there is no other means of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte-
rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by
weekly or monthly subscriptions.
Jewish Institution.

The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
months experience, it has amply answered the benevolent
intentions of the promoters.
While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he
may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren,
the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to
false or insincere professions. Much good-is being done;
but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come
forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu-
tion must be given up.

Irish Sunday School Society,
To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting
of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most
approved principles for the management of such schools, by
supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred
Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra-
tuitously or at reduced prices.
Society for Promoting Christianity
amongst the Jews.

The name of this Society sufficiently explains 'its object.
It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel_to that Sa-
viour whom they crucified.
Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it
was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to
them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they
should feel interested on their behalf, notonly for the blessings
of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for
the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land.
There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of
these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries
are converted Jews.
The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians.
Achill Di ission.
Dingle Mission.

The whole income of all the above Societies together, in
the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a:popula-
tion of above. 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than
£3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a
tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum
to the whole of the above Societies together, and this
would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre-
gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found
willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the
above of which they approve ; and this alone would
produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so
small, and the funds of all will shew a vast increase at the
end of 1840, when, God willing,l hope again to lay the finan-
cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the
mean time, I shall be most happy to give every information
in my power respecting the operations and general effi-
ciency of all the above associations.
Collecting Boxes and Cards mar be had by any one who
ill kindly take charge of them. J. C.
