Fourth Annual Report.

The Alexandra Female Tract Society, in pre-
sentipe their Annual Report at The close OF the
fourth wear Of the Society's operations. fcel That
thew were never before called upon to lament 50
deen,y the want of efficiency and success IN
their exer,ions. While other societies oil ST.
milar character, 10 various sections OF our coun.
try. have been rebuilding their efforts to advance
this sacred cause; and while the Parent Society
has been increasing its means, aud enlarsins Its
field of operations. until il has already scattered
il. pages. like fakes OF snow, over many OF the
dark nlaces of the earth, that are full OF the ha
bitations of crueltv,"-our Society appears to
have relaxed in its exertions. and grown faint
and feeble in its sacred work. From the reports
of the various managers, iappears too evident
that the different districts in our held OF labor
have been but imperfectly supplied win tracts
while the months of the last year have been pass
ing away-and it is also greatly TO be feared that
the tracts which have been occasionally dIstri.
bu,ed were not accompanied, as they ought to
have been, with the ardent prayers aud the a.
frctionate counsels of their distributors we
are constrained, therefore. to attribute It LARGE.
~ 10 our own Sant of zeal and faithfulness, ana
PARTLY to the little interest we have been aoie
TO discover in the Christian community towards
the work in which we are engaged, that only one
case of hopeful conversion IS known TO nave &C.
CURED. through our fundamentally, during the
mast wear; and only three children are reported
10 have been brought under the influence oil Sun
day school instruction. For ssch small results
we cannot for q moment think Of seeking an e1'
cuse By plunging into the recesses Of Gods hoiy
and adorable sovereignty. The want OF success
in our benevolent exertions we do not believe to
be ever requisite to illustrate the sovereignty oil
God-nor the withdrawment Of Ills Spirit ever
necessary TO vindicate his absolute supremacy.
But he displays his sovereignty most Industrious ;.
~, when he crowns the unwearIed e1ertons -
human beings with super.humau success. Howe.
yer much it condemns Us therefore, and however
much j, may condemn the friends OF the cause
around u,. we firmly believe that the reason so
little ha. been achieved by this Society. during
the mast wear, must be sought alone in the wan.
Of fsthfaIness and zeal among its members, a .Sa
in the want of sufficient sympathy and AID on the
