Report of William King, Sec
tary Wyandot County Bible
Society, for the year ending
March 6, 1870.
The custom of presenting an Annual
Report by those who are interested
with the management of this Society is

ton, and whose tendency is in all res
poets salutary. 1t is satisfactory to the
officers themselves to come ut the close
Of the year, and submit to their constit-
uents an account Of their proceedings.

Between 5000 and $500 worth of the
Holy Scriptures have been distributed
in the county during the year; and
when we consider whose book it is
thus distributed, when we sec with our
eyes its Transforming effects on indi-
viduals, families and communities, and
when we read on its own pages the as
surance of influence wherever he goes,
whose heart is not thrilled at the an
ticipated results OF these wide spread
distributions.
The promise is that, 'as the ram COM
