BIBLE SOCIETY WORK IN Our STATE AND
CoUNTY.-By the thorough organization of
the Bible Society's work in the state it is
brought into intimate relations with the peo-
pie and is viewed with general favor. The
enterprise is conducted through twenty-one
county associations, which assume the work
of the charitable distribution of the Sacred
Scriptures throughout the State. During the
year just closed 1850 volumes have been put
in circulation. They have been placed in
destitute families, Sunday and other schools,
hotels and various asylums, homes and re-
treats representing the charity of our people
for the unfortunate, as well as in our reform
schools, almshouses and the state and county
prisons. The total net receipts, less freight,
depository and colportage expenses have been
$40, S52.65, being an advance on the previous
year.
The Hunterdon County Bible Society is
vigorously sustained, our leading citizens
sharing in its affairs The last annual meet
