have succeeded in finishing the preparato-

Books are deposited in each townst With
in a convenient reach Of the Local Agents,
one or more Of which are secured to each
schoo. district in the several townships
These are expected to visit eve. Y family in
their respective fields, with two-fold OBJ
iect in view; first, to supply bible wants;
second. to coll ect donations for the Bible
cause. These agents have nothing to
prompt them but the sense Of doing good
and meeting the appro baton Of their Heav-
enlv Father. | have fully instructed them
with regard to their duties, and where
practicable have made public presentations
Of the Society's claims in the churches SC
as to pave the way for them, and they arc
expected to complete their work and re
! port within specified time to their Treas
urers, which l am to revisit with view
to effecting settlements, gathering togethe
/ the several reports and making out fna
reports of the effort and its results, whicl
report will be published through the press
( If it is found at the close of this work, tha
most Of the territory remains uacanYassed
if the financial condition of the count
/ will justify it, there will be paid effort EN-
ployed to canvass these remaining portions
This would be paying to an agent the yer
money which should be transformed int

Local Agents work in saving expense.
There are families and individuals in a

living without this God-given chart to guid
them.
There are two Auxiliary Depositories
