TRACT VISITATION.
In New York city, Christian effort, in
connection with Tract distribution, has
received, within the last year, double
s efficiency. A few master spirits, who
mourn over the moral desolations of the
city, are devoting themselves with unwea-
ried energy, and consecrating their pc
cuniary means to this important object
They nave now labouring with them, four
teen agents in the respective wards, who
devote their undivided energies to this
service, having the cooperation of about
one thousand Christians, male and female.
By these 1913 neighborhood prayer meet
ings were held the last year, attended, to
a great extent, by those who were unac-
cuStomed to visit the sanctuary; and be-
sides all other auxiliary efforts, such as
bringing children into the Sabbath School,
supplying the destitute with the Bible, OBJ
tanning subscribers to the temperance
pledge, and ministering to the temporal
wants ofthe suffering, three hundred and
sir souls were, during the year, reported
p, hopefully born into .he kingdom c.!

want of this, and some other prudential con-

Expenditures.
The expenditure, of the year have been
Sl07, 9l0 93, leaving balance in the
treasury Of 1926 20. This balance is
owing in part to the fact that a large lcga-
ct hQs been received, and too near the
close ofthc year to allow ofts being wise
ly expended. In part it arises from the
fact, that sot.a ot'thc forei isn versions to

months for further intelligence, before ma

The increasing business of the society
N publishing the Scriptures in different
tongues and the Importance of great accu-
racy in The versions issued, has led the
Board to appoint an editor, who is 10 de-
vote one half of his time to the interests
of the society. For the coming year the
Rev. George Bush, of the New York Uni
vcrsity, is appointed to the above office.

hundreds of smiling people: another
minute taught them our object in coming
tllithcr; and hal an hour suf1iced to dis

known these to be the last of our stock,
as they really we're, they could scarcely
have scrambled for them more eagerly and
violently. One more excursion to the

The report also presents numerous and
cheering evidences of the Divine blessing
on volumes and Tracts, and the faithful
personal Christian efforts by which their
| circulation has been attended.
