PROPOSED BIBLE CONVENTION.
A Circular prepared bv direction Of the Charles
ton Bible Society,

CHARLEsToN, May 1851.
Sir:-The Managers of the Charleston Bible
Society, have appointed the undersigned, com
mttee to prepare and send forth Circular, lnTi-
tirg the several Bible Societies in the State to
unite with them by their delegates, in Conven-
ton, to be held at Columbia, Oh Tucs6y the 9TH
December 1887
The objects to be secured by such Conven-
ton. are to ascertain what he's been done IN this
State for the list four or FIVE years in giving
circulation TO the Bible; what flcts may be co..
iected, which will throw light upon our yet re
naming destitntions; whether it is cXpcdlent, 10
ongage simultaneously in resupplying tho State
with the Word of Life upon ii plan SIMILAR TO
that which was agreed upon IN Columbia, several
years ago; and'ifso, by what means and by what
agencies the plan can be most fully and thor
oughly. and jcG:cioas!y carried into effect, so
That our entire reading population, have tf . ac-
cess to copies Of the Holy Scripturcs i'll their
ow-n possession. And finally to deliberate upon
any other subject connected with tho Gifusionl
OF the Bible, whether at home or abroad, III
Christian or in haathen lands.
Tho general fact is known, that districts of
country, which have been thoroughly supplied
one year have contained many destitute fimilies
he next; and whit is true of one district is true
Of all the rest, Gs the same causes operate to Gre
ate the want, viz: the formation Of now families,
the immigration Of others, and the wearing out o.
the Bibl S themselves In most cases where
re.supply has been undertaken, after an interval
of four or five years, the dcstitution has been
found full half as great as at the period of the
original supply. and in some cases greater, fom
the causes already assigned. We alude to this
fact because it was one of the principal motives
which induced the Managers f:ho Charleston
Bible Society to propose convention.
The Committee regard il as supcrhuons to arge
the subject upon your consideration by any fur
thor remarks as all the reasons for Convention,
which We could submit, must be familiar to your
mind. All that we have so solicit, is, that You
would call tho attention of your society to the
proposition, that should they deem it cxpcdient,
delegates may be appointed TO represent your So
cicty in the Convention.
We have the honor to subscribe ourselves, in
name, and by the appointment of the Managers
of the Charleston Bible Society your fellow Ia
borars in the Bible cause.
