AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
In the evening, Rev. Henry B.
Holmes addressed the m citing as Age It
Of the American Tract Society. He
began by mentioning late anniversaries
which he had attended in the citi4s,
which were characterized by unusual
spiritua ity and prayelluuess. Many
interesting statements we made re-
speeding the cp rat ons of. the Society;
but as u readers wi ha opportunity
to see them for the most part fully de-
tailed in the American Messenge'
we omit further notice here, Copies of
he Messenger suffic ent to supply all
the churches an brint the statements
of the last Annual Report within the
reach of eve,y me nbe were distribut-
ed, and we trust they will be well used.
Rev. G. Walker made few remarks
strong recommending this number Of
the Messenger, as NeIy to do great
good if received an read by al, Chris
tluns.
