THE Committee solicit the attention of all attached mem-
bers of the Church to this Society. Publications of an
evil tendency arc being circulated to a vast extent in this
great town, and the object of the Committee is to supply
sound and interesting Religious 'tracts and Books on the
cheapest terms, calculated, in opposition to the errors of
Romish superstition, to set forth the vital truths of the Pro-
testant Faith ; and in opposition to Socinianism, to Infideli-
ty, and to Socialism, to present the Gospel of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.

This Institution supplies the best Publications of the Lon-
don Religious Tract Society, of the Bristol Church of Eng-
land Tract Society, of the Society for Promoting Christian
Knowledge, and of the Dublin Tract Society, &c. &c.____

The DEPOSITORY is REMOVED to Mr. NEW-
LING'S, 31, RANELAGII-STREET, where a Room has been
fitted up for the sale of Tracts and Books.

There was much sound truth in the speech of a country
lad to an idler, who boasted his descent from an ancient
family. "So much the worse for you," said the peasant
" as we ploughmen say, the older the seed the worse the
crop."

ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON.—A stranger having entered
the apartment where the Emperor Napoleon was shaving
himself, when in a little town in Italy, he said, " I want to
see your great Emperor—what are you to him ?" The Em-
peror replied, " I share lam."

THE PRAYER BOOK.—The prayer hook is your own book
—your own inheritance, as sons of the church. In a series
of services of pure and solemn beauty, it accompanies you
from the cradle to the grave. It meets you at the baptismal
font; it furnishes you with a catechism for your younger
years; it goes with you when you seek the bishop to take
upon yourselves your baptismal vow. When you enter into
the estate of holy matrimony, then again the prayer book
meets you, and sends you out into the world with blessing
and with prayer ; you see it still with the same unwearied
ease and assiclious love receiving your children at the font
as it received yourselves before; and going from the font to
the altar to join the thankful mother in her praises to
Almighty God for her deliverance from the great pain and
peril of childbirth. Then when illness comes upon you, and
lays you low upon the bed of suffering, the prayer book b_reinagrs
the priest to your bedside—bids him soothe your aching
you.b
fill you with the hope of the gospel, and pour uponcan
neither
by
his spiritual blessing, a peace which this world can
give nor take away. Nay, it leaves you not even
the side of
eyes are closed in death :it waits upon when your
the opened tomb, and gravely and aff)ecrteimoninielnyg commitsl
your spirit to Almighty God (as it Nyere
earth that it must give you up again at the resuxrection of
the clead.--Rev, F. Tr. Faber.
