OlSabhatll morning visited as unday school
in Gction where nquity abounded few years
since. / went in time to witness their entire
exercises; and a more Interesting scene have
seldSn if ever behed in my life. The Govern
tion pf the teachers, was of the most pleasant
and tffectual character. The children were all
quiet deeply interested in reciting their good
lessdis, and in hearing the explanations given.
hee found SO Of 'The Pictorial Tract Prim-
mers' in use, aud the Supt. said '''rhs book is
justthe right thing for interesting aud instruct
ing children. A II are delighted with it," And
m,ther here remarked, .'Sosimple, tender aud
touching are the answers in the catechism of the
Trait Primmer that my son John, though not
quite 6 years old is delighted with and i'm
pressed by them that frequently be is affected
to fears while l am teaching him the lesson

| have been forcibly struck and greatly en-
couraged by hearing professors OF religion speak
and hearts from reading the Tract Volumes.
Some have been thoroughly awakened to their
christian duties, and in the performance of duty
they testify that they have enlarged views OF
God new love for Him, and increasing concern
for the spread of the gospel and the conversion
of sinners. Many OF them have requested me
to give them an opportunity to contribute an
|nualy to the Tract Society," assuring me that
their prayers should ascend daily for Gods
blessing to attend all its efforts and instrumen
talities. A travelling minister recently said
Il have been through neghborhoods where yor
have scattered books and your books dong
vast good. They are getting people to read
who read not before; and they are getting many
| to think and talk in way they seldom did be
| fore: and they are getting light where ther,
was gross darkness before"
| Recently gentleman came to me in the
| street and said my heart is filled with JOY to
| an over-howing this morning, and l wish t(
| speak with you about it. Since having beer

opposed me- But for the last six months sh
| has received and read Tract monthly, from
the "Female Tract Society" which seemed t,
make her serious and occasionly she has gon,
to church On last sunday she went to churc

and unwilling to retire | asked her to max
Iknown her mind and feelings to me. She seem
ed to hesitate moment, and then said wit
| streaming eyes, OH dtu SuCu du awful SINNER
What shall do? | have opposed your pray

pray I do not want to lie down tonight Will
] out hearing you pray, and pray for me- / a
| once got my family together and for the frs
time tried to pray in public. And in the dis
charge of this duty my soul has been abundant

ing for salvation" This lady has since bee
| hopefully converted to God.
Most of the last month, November, / was O
a visit to West Tenn. where Coportage has all
is yet doing great good. Twas greatly strength
ened and eneouragedby spending few day
with Bro. T. j. Terry Colp. of Henry Co. Ma
the Lord long spare his useful life. I also me
with other Colporteurs by the way who SUI
ceeded well in getting travellers to take goo
books aud tracts to read instead Of novels .
fine looking gentleman came to me on the cal
! and purchased some tracts. He seemed I'll
usually glad to get them and after he had di
tributed some, he took seat with me an
stated that whenever he saw tracts his gratitud
to God was newly stirred, for it was q trat
Igiren him by a Coporteur between Philadelph
and New \ York that was instrumental in awa]
ing him and bringing him to Christ, the sinner
friend. May we all take fresh courage in wor
ling for God who ever works for US.
