ployed to canvass the county to ascertain
the extent of Bible restitution, to sell
Bibles and to receive donations. They
visited upward of $500 families, and

311 Bibles and So Testaments were sold.
The amount of donations received was
$3.50. The churches throughout the
county contributed $S45. The balance of
the county will be canvassed during the
present summer, Thomas Huss, Jr., of
Cookstown, having been employed for
that purpose. He will commence his
work in the city of Burlington, Monday,

courage Mr.. Huss in his work, either by
purchasing Bibles or by liberal contribu-
tons that the society may place copy of
the Holy Scriptures in every home in
Burlington county.
