Youne Mems Bible Societu.

This Society was formed in 1921, and has
ever since been in active operation. Its re-
ceipts up to the current year have amounted
to 1929 80; and the number of bibles and tes-
taments to SIS. The present number OF sub
scribers is 46. Subscription price 81 annu-
ally. As the society has been composed most
" of young men, its means have been limited,
and its efforts have been necessarily upon a
small scale.
At the present. time, however,it is extreme
ly desirable that its numbersand means should
be enlarged, as the demand upon its resour-
ces has greatly increased within the last year.
While the B. S. of the district was in operation,
this society occupied field comparatively
small: but since that once very efficient and
useful society has suspended its labors, this
field has been widely extended. The Young
Mems Bible Society is now the only one of
the kind in this place, and upon its resources
the destitute in the town and the adjoining
country, the sabbath schools, and the ship
ping in our port must be almost wholly de-
pendent for supply of the sacred scriptures.
The board of managers find their ability en-
tircly inadequate to meet this extensive de-
mand. They take the liberty, therefore, to
lay the subject before their fellow-citizens,
and to solicit their aid and cooperation.
To this they are encouraged by the know
ledge that many, especially among the former
contributors to the district society, wish for
the privilege of contributing still to an object
so truly great and important. 1t is the earn
est wish, and, indeed, the confident belief,
of the board of managers, that the public ge-
morally will be willing to patronise society
whose object is so purely benevolent and so
intimately connected with the present well
being of man, and with his dearest future
hopes. They have, therefore, appointed the
following committees to visit the different
wards Of the town, for the purpose of solicit
ing subscriptions and donations:
