American Tract Society Celebrate tes
It's Seventy-Second Anniversary.
NEW YORK. May 23.-The seventy-second
anniversary of the establishment of the
American Tract society was celebrated today
with religious exercises in the Broadway
tabernacle Various organizations con-
nected with the churches conducted separate
exercises during the day. A report was read
in the evening by Rev G. l.. Shearer, show
ing the work of the society for the year
The report deals largely with the effects of
the Increased financial stringency of the
year" which 1t Is said led to scrutinizing
revision of the modes OF work and various
reforms in the interest of economy. The
salaries of all employees have been cut down,
the cost of running repositories reduced,
the. depository" at Rochester has been dis
continued and the issue of new publications
has been greatly restricted.
The report says that the most of all to be
regretted has been the falling on of legacies
for the year to the amount OF over $4,000
as compared with the preceding year, and
then states that Notwithstanding the hard
times the sales during the year have been
slightly larger than those of the prf ceding
year and the trust fund has been increased.
1t is said that the rental of the new building
has occasioned disappointment. The new
prominent publications added to the society S
list during the year are seventy-eight. Cash
grants to foreign missions of evangelical
churches for the year show total less than
$500 During the year $50 colporteurs work
ing in thirty-two states and territories and
Ontario and Manitoba, made 135O65 family
visits and found $3.50 Protestant families
without the bible.
