In offering the resolution, Mr.. GAysE sdveried to
the happy settlement Of the difficulties which had
threatened to disturb the harmony of their Society;
when the vote had been taken on these resolutions
and adopted unanimously, he had felt constrained to
praise God In looking over their report OF the Socie
~ he had been surprised at seeing the amount OF mat
ter thu had been printed and distrbuted-the aggre
gate amounted 10 four thousand millions Of pages
which divided into tracts OF four pages each, would
be equal 10 four pages ofrelgious instruction to every
human being on earth, and that by one Society
Some speaker had sdverted 10 the founders OF this
Society'-but il was a mistake-nO man or men had
founded this Society for il founded by God alone
indeed, let the Society fall to pieces tomorrow aud
the next day would see another instituted IN It's place
The speaker in conclusion, adyerted TO the valuable
aid which the Society gave TO the Christian ministry
cy the Colportsge system
Judge JEssuP Of Pa. seconded the resolution of
Nr. GaDse. He said that the Society are dependent
for IFS means upon public cOnfdence-let that be re-
moved and its practical existence ceased The Society
had Just passed through scrutiny OF It's financial con-
duct 10 see whether il worthy OF that public con-
fdence necessary TO its success, and the result of
that scrutiny showed that il pure and as truth
full as gold times tried. OF the millions OF dol
lars that had been received and expended they had
not been able to discover that one cent had been i'm
properly expended but that all of It's operations were
conducted in the most perfect manner possible. This
berg the case the Society could come before the world
with additional claims upon the Christian public
the amoners of its bounty, designed for the regenera
ton OF the world.

ring upon them the richest blessings fo time and eternity
Mr. Carpenter said that the vitality Of any scheme
Of benevoence depended upon the charter by author
ity of which il acted The Savior had said, Go ye
Unto all the world and preach the Gospel and the
success Of every scheme was dependent upon how
much it preached the Gospel. There was much fussy
philanthropy in the world; but the true force OF
Society ts genleness. The acting Of this Society
was ike the gentle fall of the flakes that FELL in
the forest and despite the branches of the trees dis,
perred themselves with regularity on the ground In

foreign missionary work of the Society.
