this society issued during last year, 429,092 copies, being an in- that man, whose, soul does not sympathize with this movement, and
crease over the previous year of 114,510 copies. Since the society's organization, it has issued moro than 4,000,000 copies of Bibles and Testaments. To my own mind there is no more pleasing
prospect than the existence and active efforts of these great institutions on both sides the Atlantic—ull cooperating to multiply and
distribute copies of tho sacrsd scriptures, thereby, scattering the
seed of everlasting life beside all waters From such facts and
statistics as have been presented, the conclusion is undeniable, that
copies of theBible have been more rapidly multiplied during the
present century than during any former period in the world's history.
11. The second point which I proposed to prove and illustrate,
was, that the causo of this rapid multiplication has been the development of a purely christian principle—the principle of benevo-
whose hand is not open to promote this great, this noble, this
blessed work—this work which is now eitfiliating the word of God
without note or comment, the very words of the spirit's inspiration
without addition, without diminution, without explanation or interpretation—the pure, life-giving stream of God's own truth, flowing
from Ihe fountain and going out to the world to give health and
salvation to the diseased and perishing; why, my bearers, if there
can be found one throughout the wide domain of Christendom, who
does not approve and love this woik, let him no longer cull himself
a man, much less a christian.
The benevolent principle has now been awakened in the bosom
of the christian church, and is now increasing in power. It is giving to Bible societies the strength and rigor of manhood. As the
heart of the christian church beats strong, it sends the life blood

THKSANDWI H ISLANDS.
By
Mrs. M. L. <sardneh
Beautiful Islands of the western sea,
My early memories fondly turn to thee;
Turn to thy once benighted land, and praise
The God of mercy for redeeming grace;
Thcrp now thy spues I see with fancy's eye,
Peer in the distance up the deep hide sky;
Where then, go altar to the Jiving God
Was seen hy man, as on thy shores he trod;
Now r&nsnuic.t thousands at the gospel feast,
IJowed in devotion, each a royal' swat;
Clothed in the garinnnts of a Savidur's love
Their Idol gods forsook, for ore above;
Each sahle face illumined ley love divine
Wihile knceli'lg round I he consecrated shrine;
Sec Ministers like guardian angels stand,
The pride and lutlwark of the heat lien land;
Who, for their love to unenlightened souls,
Leu their rov'd country, where solvation rolls.
Kor pagan regions, cjraped with sin's dark pall,
Stained deep with sins we shudder to recall;
To scatter light, that thus the .human mind,
By knowledge, virtue, niety, r<tined,'
ifighi burst the midnight fetters, and inspire
The soul with wisdom, and a pure desire
To worship Him, who. while unknown they sought
In various ways, unlearned and untaught,
By offering up their first horn to atone
Kor crimes'and follies which hy them were done;
For these, the Messed Legates of the skies,
Left their loved home of Massed memories;
Left for their sakes the hrighest spots of earih,
To tell the Indian of a Saviour's hirlh;
To preach repentance 10 their fellow men,
\ml thus at last, a glorious crown to gain;
In that great day for which all days were made,"
There snail you stand in glorious robes arrayed,
Behold your crowns ! see liow they sparkle bright !
Each jewel polished with celestial light!
Let faith exert her saving power to view,
What in reserve, is wailing now for you;
See on these unknown shores a smiling band,
Of angel seraphs; children, hand in hand,
Waiting lor ypu, they sweep their golden lyres,
The thoughts of meeting eveiy note inspires.
Hush then your sighs, rejoice that you have given
Your first-born beauties to your God in heave*;
Rejoice that you have left your native land,
Obeyed your risen Saviour's last command,

Go ye, and teach all nations in my name,
Go, and salvation every where proclaim,
