This Association held its anniversary, in the Salem
ST. Church, the evening of the 20th inst After
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Hil of this city, the Report Of
the Directors read by the Rev. George P. Smith
1t contained many interesting facts respecting the his
tory of printing Bibles in this country as well as the
operations Of this Society during the thiryfve years
its existence. 1t hoped that it will soon be given to
the public.
The Rev. DR. Cox, of Brooklyn, N. Y, was next
introduced to the meeting delegate from the Parent
Society in New York. In his characteristic manner,
he submitted some statements respecting the operations
and plans OF this great charity, and presented it
worthy of the confidence and aid of all who desire to
give the word of truth to such as sit in darkness and
no light After a song of praise, DR.. Cox COM
menced a series of remarks several passages of
Scripture admirably fitted to meet the demands of the
occasion. For about hour, he held the large con-
gregation in attentive and delighted silence Although
laborng under the disadvantage of severe cold he
exhibited such versatility of mind variety and depth of
sacred learning and hearty devotion to his work. as to
command general and fixed attention. 1t is not often
that hive much of solid instruction and healthul
entertainment combined in single discourse 1t would
seem that the Rev. Dr. has firmly believed the words

shall be opened unto YOU" For he reveIs amid the

places and do his WILL give him extraordinary influence
over popular assembly. His discourse must have
made delightful impression all those who had the
privilege of listening to him. 1t is hoped that they
will love the Bible more study it with earnest PRAYER
for the Illuminating influence of the Holy Spirit, under
whose moyings holy of God spake and thus be-
come wise unto salvation through faith that is in Christ
Jesus. So thoroughly pervaded by its spirit may they
become, to feel far deeply and contribute with
much greater iberaty in behalf of those who perish

well enlist warmest sympathes and call forth our
