AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.
The American Bible Society announces
to all its friends that Mrs. Russell Sage
has kindly agreed to extend for one yeas
the time during which subscriptions may
be received to make up the half million
-dollars necessary to meet her offer of another
half million, the wnole million to
be a perpetual endowment for the Society.
During the present year very little
could be accomplished until autumn, and
even then the Presidential election ana
general business conditions were great*
hindrances. It is, therefore, very gratifying
to know that rather more than onefourth
has been subscribed, of which
amount about $60,000 has been paid in.
This has been invested, and is kept as a
separate fund.
The appeal to the friends of the Society
has, therefore, brought encouraging
response. The Auxiliary Bible Societies
many of them, have undertaken to raise
specified sums. Letters addressed to
the ministers of the supporting constituency
of the Society have brought eucouraging
replies, suggestions, and promises
of assistance.
A considerable number of five-hundred
dollar and thousand-dollar subscriptions
have been made. Christian women iiavo
