 Work of Grace in the SOcietv's Ho.sse.

 During several months of the past wear an interesting work of grace has been ap- parent among the females employed in printing, folding, and stitching Tracts in the Society's house. Since the com- menceing of this refreshing, Al different individuals have been employed in these departments of labour, 15 of whom were previously members of the church. Of the remaining 26 eigkteeR now cherish a hope in Christ, and most of them have r connected themselves with churches of different evangelical denominations in the city. A similar blessing, and simultane- ous in its progress, has been witnessed a. mong the young women employed at the House of the American Bible Society,"

 We intend to give some further particu- lars concerning this revival in few weeks.l

 Mosives for increasing Ererfions.

 Under this head is presented an outline of the arguments which should urge the Christians of America, more perhaps than any other people on the globe, to press forward in the great work of supplying l o~A PVPuAuthVhe uOt " 0uy tuC WOIkU with these messages of salvation. We have not room even for an abstract; and the same we must say of tho section enti- tied, The Call from our Destitute Breth- ren;" which consists of extracts of let- ters received from every part of our coun- try, and particularly the remote parts of it setting forth the moral wants of the iahab- itants and entreating that Tracts may be sent them without delay. A single quot- alton from one of these letters is all that we can give. "I am concerned to state that having. .traveled over the distance of 1000 miles, in the interior of our Western country, have seen but one Tract and that was at the house of clergyman, in Indiana, have been at many thronged taverns, in the midst of profaneness. and gambling and Sabbath-breaking. I have met with the poisonous emissaries of Inf- delity. In the very steamboat in which l am writing, young man holds in his hand, Paine's Age of Reason, printed at New fork, in 1927, with which work he seems to have become familiar, on his way from New-Orleans.
