It's the excellence oil institutions for dis
triba'ing the Scriptures, tha, they are mote
extensive bonds of Union than ever before
subsis'ed. Not only Christians Of different
denominations, but Christians of ever,
rank and condition, have me, on this com
mon ground. The sover,igns Of Europe
claim the honor OF patronixing Bible Socie-
ties, whilst the laboring classes, by com5in-
'ng their efforts, are promoting, even more
than sosereigns, this cause of God and
Mankind. II is an important fact ,ha, the
most opulent and efficient Bible Society in

connect themselves with the national ins,i
tuition.
4. Resolved, That we recommend the
establishment Of a Branch Society, in every
town. and of Bible Association in every

sum periodically so that these channels oi
benefcence may afford to every man reg.
ular conveyance for his charity to the treas

opportunity and the means to diffuse as
| widely as possible, information on this i'm
portsnt subject,that the grea, wan, OF Bibles
may be known, proper measures be taken
| TO supply these wants, and the public be ex.
cited to exertions corresponding 10 the exi-

| The committee above named, have
thought best to subjoin ihs plan of Branch
society and a Bible Association. such as is
recommended in the above resolutions, with
a few remarks.
BRANCH SOCIETY,
Introductory Remarks-The present age
is disting uished by truly christian zeal 10
distribute the Holy Scriptures. Never be
fore, were SO many nations, and SO many
hearts united In aosk of benevOleEce.
Christians, in every quarter OF the globe,

bu ing their substance, for the eXtension oil
the bible to every tribe, and every family
under heaven. The friends ofthis design
will learn with pleasure, that during the last
year, National Bible Society has been in-
stituted in this county, and they are Ie-
qnested 10 avail themselves OF the attention
aud interest which this messure has excited
Tor The purpose Of securing more extern
sive patronage TO this godhke charity. II
isfeoommended that Bible Societies be
formed in countiss where none at present
exist, and that Branch Socie,ie. be forms d
in towns where their operations will be
thought useful The plan OF a Branch So
ciety is subjoined to these remarks. In
| such work, who will not bear part !!
Who that has drunk into the spirit of Je-
sus Chrisl, will no, bless God for an oppor-
tunity of communicating the Bible, tha, in.
es:imable treasure, to his destitute fellow
beings!
