The great trulbs of the Bible only, can rescue them from deuradation and eternal nisery. Goel has promised that his nord shall ont return -utao him void. but tha it shall ac comiplish that whereto lie hath sent it. There is no uncertainty then as to the re suit of distributing the Bible. The mere readiing of' titis hok hook has been the fblessed tueans of turning mnltit udes fromi darktiess to light, and frolm the power of' Satan, unto the liing God. Every rank antd class itn society, should thierefo~re, be loug to Bibale societies Thae tuler and the ruled, the mechauick ad the tmn of letter~s, the politician and the chris tuin, old and1( young. should all unite to thIis hely nork.

Having shewo you, my bearers, that the ex istence, tad opera:tiota of hiihle Sucieties ar ford the largest opportinnity fer deing good to all ment, whietman can deviste, let mie mentiona one cause of weatrin~ess, which hitders their progress. Man in his sinful staue is naturally prone .to indeolence, and particularly in Southern regious H e-tae the cebuareistic o the South, is ador, not perseveranice.. On the first mentican of an object, whaich engages our ttentin as onte Of import ace, we readily listetn to a plant for its attain tment, anad eambark ina its proseetntioh with raisedl expectation, and lively hopes. The ardor of the first efluort houwever grows fee fier, when the secotnd is called for, and so withettt great cxertion on the part of a fewv, the declension of that ardor keeps pce ini thte society, with the dletmandi fer its exercise. until it diles, apd the ptlati .mnd oj-ect which first oxcited it, dio with it. But as it is eaitier t rall than to riot theIasiguor of the many, will in tite ei feeble the exeiious of ihe few, and th the wholeschemc is in danger or taihimat failure. Permit me now itthe third place, to exhoi you, my friends ; who belon to the Bibi Society in this place, not to be weary I the course of well doing. which you ar iass4ociatel to pursue. in your institut'on. And fur this parpose, I shall reconsider th cause of weariness, that enduangets th vi I gorous proseention or yotir ohject. shall do this iii order that I night attemp the removal of tife inafnan'ce, which thi canse is encletlated to p.oduce. The cause of wearitiess, that I hav mentioned, is found in ilie charierteristi of the 6outi. This is ardor. not persever aice. To realize and feel the tuttre ana presuire i a disease, is the first and mon important step towards its cure. Thn man is prone to indolec. is seen'as th renIt of lon observation ala ex perienee Individuals have overcotne th" character istic initdote or their nntire.
