OUR BEST FRIEND.

The authorship of the following beautiful hymi
of trust is unknown. 1t was found treasured a.
in humble cottage in England.
In the mid silence of the voiceless night,
When, chased by airy dreams, the slumbers flee
Whom, in the darkness, doth my spirit seek,
o GOd but thee?
And if there be weight upon my breast,
Some vague impression of the day foregone,
Scarce knowing what it is, fly to thee
And lay it down.
Or if it be the heaviest that comes,
In token of anticipated i'll,
Ny bosom takes no heed of what it Is,
Since tbs thy viii.
For o I in spite of past and present care,
Or any thing besides, how joyfully
Passes that almost solitary hour.

IT IS just with God to destroy that
health with disease, which he sees we
would cast away in sloth and idleness.
Think with thyself, had such soul as
Timothy's or Gaius's, been blest with
such body as thine, so strong and Wig
orous, SO apt and able for service, they
would have honored God more in it in
day, than perhaps you do in year. We
are generally more solicitous to live long,
than to live usefully and serviceably; and
it may be, our health had been more
precious in the eyes of God, if it had
been less precious in our own eyes.

Abstract of the Annual Report of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of Publication.

The Treasurer's Report will show the
donations to the funds of the Committee
to have amounted to 81, ,552.71; cash re-
ceived from the sale of books 81, ,923.57 {;
from subscriptions to the ChaLdren' 8
Friend, $1,657.6S; in all amounting to
the total sum of II, 1896. In the
meantime, the expenses have been, for
merchandise and stock, expenses of the
Galdrens Friend, salaries, rent, ETC.,
SIG 6,OS5.46; and there now remains in
the Treasury the sum of 81, ,047.50.
A discrepancy between the Treasurer's
reports, submitted to the General AS
sembly in the years 1866 and 1867, is
explained. There was an error which
caused him to be charged with the sum
of $352.50 more than he owed the Com
mittee.
In the last report, the Indebtedness Of
the Committee was stated to be S9,3O4.
Al. But bills then due, but afterwards
presented, increased the Indebtedness to
$13,761.00. The deficit is now $5,101.
90. This shows that we have reduced
our Indebtedness S., S,569.71 during the
past six months.
The report takes a retrospect of the
operations of the Committee since re-
organization. The receipts from the
churches have been as follows:
From January 1, 1866,
to Nov. 1, 1866, $11,432.SS
November 1, 1866,
to Nov. 1, 1867, 1S,191.44
November l, 1867,
to May 1, 1868, 7,551.S6
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1868-07-08
Showing the whole amt
$37,176.1S

Of this sum, more than $4,000 was
secured by the agencies employed by the
Committee, and the remaining sum, less
than $I4, 100000, was the spontaneous con-
tribution of the churches. The cost of
the agencies employed by the Committee
has been $4, ,457.15 the donations made,
and benevolent operations through col
porteurs, have been $4,688.00.
Now take the whole amount of money
'recexed, first, the cost of agencies, and
secondly, the sums bestowed in donations,
and there is left the sum $8,031.01 for
investment in our business.
Our property, putting our goods at
their Wholesale value, is now worth rather
more than $37, ,176.1S. At cost ualue it
is worth 500, ,767.57, showing an increase
of $1,736,56 of capital invested over the
amount of capital we had to invest.
That is, our clear profit, over and above
all expenses, is $1,736.56. The total
amount of business done in two years,
including sales, donations, Ghildren's s
Friend, etc., ETC., has been $50, ,030.17.
Some of these sums are approximate, the
Secretary not having the material at
hand to make them accurate. In every
such case they are placed below the true
amount.
The building occupied by the Commit
tee costs $2,500 year; but by sub-let-
ting portions of it, this rent is reduced
to $1,000.
In conducting the business of the Com
mittee, besides the Secretary of Publ
cation, who is also Secretary of Educa-
ton, there are employed salesman, who
receives certain privileges for his services
and has no salary; book-keeper; a
private clerk to the Secretary; and a
boy; the three at the aggregate salary
of 500 month.
From the beginning, two years ago,
there have been issued $4,000 copies of
various works. Several new works are
in progress of publication.
The Children's Friend has reached an
issue of 1900 copies of the semi month
ly edition, $500 Of the monthly edition !;
and hereafter will be sent gratuitousl y to
all our ministers, and to those of Ken
lucky and Missouri.
The benevolent operations of the Com
mittee have amounted to $1,251.92.-
Donations have been granted in every in
stance where application has been pro-
perly made.
The plan of colporteurs or boek-agents
has not met expectations. l. Our list
of books is scarcely sufficient as yet to
furnish the requisite variety. 2. Our
people are not able in many places to
buy. And 3. The whole plan is too ex-
pensive on the Committee, requiring
nearly eight thousand dollars of our linn
tied capital to lie idle in the hands of
colporteurs. 1t is hence recommended
that the Presbyteries raise funds on which
to employ their own book agents on
terms favorable for preserving the fund
and making it permanent.
The Committee at Columbia are not
favorable to the establishment of a joint
organ. The suggestion is made that this
Committee establish paper, under its
own auspices, for gratuitous distribution
and circulation at cheap rate.
The Committee refers the question o.
removal to Baltimore back to the Assem-
bly,. The difficulties at Richmond are
