The Treasurer's report was then read by
the Secretary, Mr.. Lord, in the absence Of
the Treasurer, Mr. Page, from which it ap-
peared that the amount collected during the
year was 81 ,9Ss II, to which may be added
some money collected since the report wss
made out, making the entire amount over FIVE
thousand dollars, of which amount S3 80 o
has been given to the American Bible Society,
while the legacies, etc. sent from this State
to the Parent Society increases the amount
credited to the Vermont Society to So, ,26I.75.
An interesting Secretary's report was next
read, which had been prepared by the former
Secretary, Mr.. Chckering.
The l20th Select Hymn was then sung by
the choir. Then followed an address by Rev.
DR.. Tuue, one Of the Secretaries Of the
American Bible Society, DR.. Holdrich,
who was expected to deliver the address, be-
ing prevented by sickness. The address, al
though such as is generally delivered by the
agents Of our public religious societies,
was quite interesting from the valuable infor-
nation it impaired, The speaker first spoke
of the blessing of the Bible, and then gave a
brief history of the formation of Bible Soo-
cites, and concluded by giving some account
Of the operations of the American Bible So
ciety. II appeared from the address that the
Bible has been translated into nearly fifty
different tongues, including some Of our In.
dian dialects the latest important II translation
being the Spanish and Arabian. During tn,
war the society mas distributed about thre,
million copies Of the Scriptures among oul
own army, and about five hundred thousand
in the rebel army.
The exercises Of the evening concluded with
another anthem by the choir, and too much
praise cannot be accorded to them for the
sweet music which so greatly added to the in,
'ere.' n the meeting.
