of the principles which it inculcates say
without fear of contradiction, that it is the
bible, and not the constitution of the UNI
ted States, which is the great charter o
our liberties Take away that just fear o
God which the bible inculcates and mar
must be governed by the fear of man.
Our lot has been cast in this far of por
tion of our republic We are, as it were
Protestant colony, surrounded by the
darkness of heathcniSm. God, through
our instrumentality, (if we accept it), in
tends working out here some great event oI
his providence. --.a'..-
Japeth shall dwell in the tents oil
Shem," was the prophesy of an inspired
man of old. The signs Of the times are
now propitious for the fulflment of that
prophecy. BY the treaty lately made with
the Emperor of China an empire of 4l5,-
900, 900 of souls is now opened to the
teachings of Christianity. This coast,
above every portion of our ocean-bound
republic, is interested in this matter. In
the course of time, not far removed, there
will be an immense trade with all those
eastern countries Before we come in init
mate relations with these teeming millions,
and commence exercising that glorious in-
Strumentairy which providence is so plain
ly indicating; let US take care that we meet
them with a pure Christianity drawn from
Gods holy book.
In view of these great and momentous
events which are now daTnihg upon us, it
is plainly the duty of this society take care
that every family within its bounds has a
copy of the bible, or an opportunity of re-
fusiug one. As society for the distribu-
ton of Gods word, We occupy no unim-
portant position in that army whose duty
it is to fight against sin, and we shall
finally prevail; for the illuminating voice
of the Son of God is with u.s. and he will
lead us to victory. SILAs CASEY,

REPORT.

Since the last annual meeting l have en-
deavored, in accordance with the resou-
tions Of the society, and as chairman of the
executive committee, to obtain the services
of colporteur to be solely employed in the
duties Of circulating bibles and tesiaments
either by sale or donation. Not being
able to obtain the services of suitable
person for that duty, l requested a number
of the clergy of the Methodist Episcopal
Church to engage in the good cause OF dis
tributing, among the poor and destitute,
the word Of life.
The executive committee had resolved
that every family within the bounds of the
Territory should be visited and supplied
with the word of God. Rev G. NJ. Berry
undertook to visit and supply every family
in Pierce county. Before he left for the
east, he had supplied about thirty families
with either the bible or testament. His
sales amounted to $54 He also donated
some IL or Is books.
Rev. Mr. McAllister another of our dis
tributors, operated principally in Thurston
county. He visited 85 families, and sup
piled oil those who we're destitute, with the
exception of two persons, who refused TO
receive them. His sales amounted to
$50 As, and his donations to So IS. His
zeal and fidelity in the cause deserve our
commendation.
Rev. Mr.. Franklin, who operated princi-
pally in King county, has reported sales
amounting to $2l So
From Rev. Mr.. Dray, another of our
distributors, who operated principally in
Lewis county, no report has been received.
Our distributors report that the people
with whom they communicated on the sub
ject expressed much sympathy with the
cause
The treasurer of the society left for the
gold mines on Fraser river, during the ex-
citement last spring, and has not returned.
Rev. G. M. Berry, at my request, assumed
the duties temporarily. As he is now ab-
sent, it becomes the duty of the executive
committee to prepare the treasurer's report
The committee examined the treasurers
account, as turned over by Rev. G. NJ
Berry, and find that they have paid to the
American Bible Society, during the current
year, 500. We have received from that
society an additional invoice, amounting to
$s7 80, which, added to our former indeb-
