that as children be taught youth to be reclaimed
The two grand objects OF the Society are:
/ To esiablih Sunday School in every destitute
To sufpy these schools and the youth Of our country
with Christian lite ature suited to their age and crcum

II Ne would have the Bible believed and its pre- epts
obeyed this land mast ut forth earnest efforts
for the religious training OF the young That economy IL
most short sighted that would leave the young to grow up
IL sin 90 be reclaimed when hardened in il by age and

TO aid in sending forth cody men to gather int sun
day Schools tho Hutucos OF children ara youth now

During the as bu mess year the contributions 10 the
Missionary fund Of the Society amounted to so i34 IN
