canvasslng Searsport. She sells Bibles at cost
and when 1t is necessary the poor will be sup
pied without cost. A careful religious census
will be taken at the same time, and published
for the benefit of the churches The last SINH
lar canvass was made about seven years ago.
The work is purely benevolent and undenomi
national. Its cost is borne by the churches.
Every one will have an opportunity to con-
tribute to its support in the course of the
house to house canvass. Every house in the
town will be visited in the canvass, This will
be an excellent opportunity to procure good
copy of the Scriptures at a minimum price.
