ducts its work upon a more economical
system than that of the Virginia Bible
Society as it is now managed. The
American Bible Society furnished us
with $4,000 worth of Bibles for the ST.
600 we sent to its treasurer last year.
and enough of these Bibles were sold to
pay all of the expenses of our Society.
We need the same amount of money and
of books for the work of the Society dur
ing the ensuing year. Is it too much to
expect that the sum of $4,000 can be Sc
cured from the contributions of the
churches of all denominations in Virginia
which are interested in the work of the
Bible Society?
A very moderate collection from each
church would suffice, and we earnestly
appeal to you to give the people to whom
you minister the opportunity of making
a contribution before the first of April.

RICHMOND, February Is, 1883.
ReU. and Dear Brother,-Our pastors
and Christian people of all denominations
have an ever growing appreciation Of the
value of the Bible as the foundation Of
all morality and religion, and they re-
gard the work Of Bible publication and
distribution as one OF the noblest in which
the church can engage.
But as this work is not committed
directly to any one denomination, it is
not made as prominent as many other
enterprises which appeal to denomins-
tional zeal for their support. Indeed, it
is often set aside or overlooked, because
of the very number Of the good objects
of q more local or sectarian character
which demand church aid and encour.
agement.
The Bible Society, therefore, is espe-
cially dependent on the intelligent and
active cooperation of the pastors of our
churches. And unless they afford to
their congregations the opportunity of
contributing TO It's support, at least once
in the year, it is not easy to see how the
work of the Society can be efficiently
presented.
The Board of Managers Of the Virginia
Bible Society, therefore, beg you to give
this sacred object place among your
annual collections, and if during the year
this has been done, will you not give
your people the opportunity of contribu-
ting to the Bible cause before the first of
April next, the time of our anniversary
We beg leave to remind You that no

the books sent to us we consider as ordinarily a
sufficient compensation for the same. We re-

the benefit of our readers. 1t would be impos-
sible for us to examine all the books sent to us,
and especially the innumerable little volumes
written for children.
