|. ICELAND.


By the latest accounts from this place,
the committee are gratifed to learn, that
through the pious zeal and we'll directed
exertions of clergyman, resident at
MoIuifell, Religious Tract Society has
been formed in that place; the plan OF
which has been patronlzed by the deputy
governor of the district. and the diocesan
bishop Vidalin from the difficulty how
ever of getting the tracts printed in Ice
land, this infant society is at present in
capable Of accomplishing its object, and
must look 10 England for that assistance
which will enable it to proceed with vi
ger.
The population of Iceland is about Sc
|ty thousand. the majority of whom are
poor; but a universal thirst fer reading
prevails among them, whereby an extern
sive field is opened for sowing the seed
ot ETERNAL LIFE, and fair oppor-
turity is now presented to all who feel
disposed to accept the necessary invita-
Jion, Come over and help U.S."
The Rev. E. Henderson, in his first
visit to Iceland, circulated no less than
$50 copies of Scripture Extracts, and
2, $40 copies of the End OF lime; and
has since received repeated applications
Tor more. From the society in Denmark,
little aid it is to be feared can be expect
ed. Mr.. Henderson thus closes his last
communication in respect to this place !:
:. The committee may rest assured, that
no soil on which they have yet sown the
seed of Divine Truth, can wear g fairer
Of rich and !!uSuriant har-
vest than the icelanalc.'' A learned
young Icelander has offered his services
graruItously for the correction of the
press. May the Lord of the harvest
strengthen and qualify the laborers more
and more for their work, bless the labors
Of their hands, and crown all their exer-
tons with the most abundant success
