Smsll as these appropriations are, com pared with the wants of a perishing world; und small as they are, compared with the |iecuniary ability of our favored churches, the Committee lieg that no Minister, or Christian, male or female, will indulge the •hope, that they will be duly obtained and remitted, until the language of Christ to her who poured on his head the box of pre cious ointment, can be applied to them selves : .“ She hath she could.” By a statement Treasurer, it appears, that,wliile expo ses of the Society, per, printing, &o. have been—s 36,479 72. -The total receipts, during the same pc rW have been 0n1y—523,005 15. ■ Leaving a deficiency.(no foreign appro vet * IC ° II ina d <T 'fh° present and chu renes every where wisely putting forth their strength in those systematic efforts, whereby Tracts are made the introduction to prayerful personal labors for those far from God, the accessions irom the world would doubtless be such ns to give joy on earth, and awaken new joy in heaven. — The committee also nttnch unspeakable im portance to the circulation of the Evangelical volumes issued by the Society, both at the South as contemplated in a res olution at the late anniversary, and in eve ry other portion of our land. But interes ting as all these labors are, they cannot ex cuse our neglect of the perishing heathen. Who can bring himself into the immediate presence of Christ, look to him for direc tion, and not hear him say, “these ought ye to hove done, and not to leave the other undone.’’ The committee entreat the churches, not to delay their efforts till called tin by A gents, sent out and sustained by the Socie ty. Qualified tnen thus to visit all the Churches cannot lie obtained ; and if they could, it is most desirable that our Benevo lent Institutions be saved from the expense. The committee have been greatly en courngcd by the efforts of those clerical bo dies and those individual clergymen, who have assumed the work of presenting the Society’s claims to churches in their own vicinity. It is hop’d that nothing will hin der their early prosecuting these efforts to their-co nplcte consummation. To nil pastors of churches which co operate with the Society, the committee look tC bring toe object early before their peo ple, and obtain their contributions. To Laymen and Ladic3 who can contribute of their abundance—to members of congrega -tieoft-wlwi can unite with others in contrib uting S2O, or SSO, to constitute their pas tors or others members or directors for life; to officers of auxiliary or other Societies, by whose effiirts contributions can be obtained ; to all who love the Lord Jesus, and would aid in sending a knowledge of him, on the printed page, to the poor idolater—do the Committee look for a prompt and liberal co-operation in this work. It is a work to be done, and must be done soon; money must actually be raised, and not only raised hut remitted; or the Society’s year will close while the blessed work proposed is unfilled. The Committee will only add, that they are charged with a solemn message to the Churches—from Leang A fa, the Chines'- convert,expressed in his own native hiero ! glyphics—from the intrepid GutzlafF-—from Da Morrison—frocmihe Tract brethren in Russia, and inapdin Franco — and r,.m. ti..i,>*cd missionaries at almost ev ery station planted bv the American church es on heathen ground. It is a loud and bitter cry, from servantsof God surround ed by dead men’s bones, which God only can revive—from laborers envelopd in a darkness that may be felt, and which God only can chase away—from men whose hearts are ready to sink in view of the blindness and obduracy of those for whom they toil—a erv, urged and reiterated with melting tenderness nnd entreaty: “Ask the churches, while their hoartsnre moved, nnd their hands are open in contributing, to pour forth unceasing prayer, that God will shed down his Holy Spirit on these poor idola ters, nnd make his truth effectual to their salvation.” By order of the Executive Committee.

July 2nd, 1834. Sir:—l acknowledge the receipt of ma ny temperance papers, and the No. for July is received. I cannot give you any encouragement of any pay for them, more than my grateful thanks..’ I feel that I am engaged in a good cause in ameliorating the condition of my fellow-men. That vou may not think that th* 1 20 papers per month sent here are thrown beg your patience while I inform you in what man ner they are received. “1 came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repen tance;” therefore I put your papers into the hands of those who publicly proclaim against the cause ; I use the mildest means possible. One man, A. G. who said in March last that a temperance paper should not be rend in his house, and refused to let mo leave one’with his child, now regular ly sends that same child, Saturday, after thearrival of the mail, for the temperance paper. This man has much influence, and many bend the same way he.does. Anoth er, who said if I sent him another tempe rance paper he would kick me fitly rods, by mild argument, has become an able advo cate, nnd says he was in an error, and daily exhorts his neighbors to adopt total abstinence. A man of a decent properly, who ns otlen ns two or three times a year had what he called a “train,” nnd spent of his and his families earnings from 30 to 60 dollars at a “train,” which usually last ed him seven or eight days, was converted in the following manner: I have hut one child, and she a girl nearly five years old. Thechild could read well when four years me a Tempe ranee Alnia nc girl was much tnkrjn Kll K ’ and learned all tlirij |g -Isis a very tight* sunk short of five years ofi, reJbrjnedlm^^WH took the Almanac, 4 noon; when h##as dinner, and explained in afclgar mamier the cuts, from the infant Jmthe man on the gallows, asking from iffime to time, was he not a naughty mail! The man is 50 years old, has a reaiectable family ; he looked on attentively,/and the tears fell fast from his eyes; he/has not drank a drop since, and I presume he nev er will. He now says to me, that the elo quence of Cicero, Demosthenes, or Web ster, could not have effected his heart as did the argument of this child; lie is now happy in his family, nnd milks 18 cows, and has many friends. There are those who still oppose. I sent, June 30, your No. for July, to a Mr. H. He wrote the most menacing and insulting message round the margin, and scut his boy back with it. This does not deter me; lie must, lie shall yet boa tempera!?’ mail. This inau drinks hard ; I have overcome hard er cases than he. The papers you send, i make the best use of possible, put*ng them into the hands of moderate drinkers and those who have so long cried “Church and State.” Though a great change has taken place here, yet much remains to be. done; we cannot stop here; the rnergv, the vigilance, all rests on me. The many are willing to be temperate, yet they will not assist me in making others temperate. If you think proper, you can send your Almanac, for 1835; and I will make’ the .same use of it as that for 1834. It shall circulate from house to hCusA. It is now’ unpopular here to say any thing in opposi tion to temperance. This is anew settle ment, nnd the inhabitants poor ; first set tlement made in 1832. We now have our barns put up without spirits, but some few will nut go to a temperance raising. Ifany o*'the above, after passing under your editorial hammer, be used in anv of your papers, no names must be mentinoed. because we should avoid giving offence where we can. Yours, A RL.V'KSMitH, To the Editor of] the Temperance Recorder: At a protracted meeting, lately held in the church where I meet with the people of God, a clergyman introduced a criticism on two words, sober and devout , in the Bib verse of the 6th chap, of the First Epistle I of Peter, made by I>. Adam Clarke.— Being very much interested in the criti cism, as presenting important truth in a new and- impressive manner, I thought it might be instrumental .of promoting thfo benevolent cause in whieh vou Hrc engag ed, and the cause of roligiomjpte' vp 'he criticism, -as i( is Clarkrvs Commentary, TTfi a lew ajßitional re marks to the public, in “Seeking whom he mnyVkiour; tina katapie, “whorli he may gutphMown.” If is not “every one” that he enk “Rwnllow down,” those who are “sober r*d vigilant” are proof against him, those he “mav not swallow dojvn ;” those a ho ure “drunken” with the cares of this world, tie.. and are “unwatchful,” these he “may swallow down.” There is a beauty in this verse., and a striking opposition between the “-first” and “last words,” which I think has not been noticed. “Be sober,” nepsate, from ne, not, and piein, “to drink; do not drink,” do not swallow down; and the word katapie, Irom kata, “down,” and piein, to “drink.” Il you swallow strong drink down, the devil will swallow you down. Hear this! ye drunkards, topers, and tipplers, or by whatsoever name you are known in society, fob low-sinners. Strong tjrink is not only the way to the devil, hut the devil’s wav into you ; nnd “ye” are such ns the devil “par ticularly may swallow down.” Clarke's Commentary in Loco. Now, .‘f drinking intoxicating liquors “is not oniy tne j IO •he devil, but the i devil’s way into’’ men, and scripture and Inct both establish this position, then distil leries, stores, and taverns, w here “strong drink” is sold, for rxhilernting purposes, and grog shops, tire Satan’s auxiliaries, the places where the devil enters into men, nnd where men ore prepared for the agonies of the “second death;” those houses nre the wav to hell, going down ta the cham bers of death : and many men/respectnble in society, yea,even Christians, elders, and deacons, who drink or manufacture in toxicating liquors, nre co-workers with their “adversary the devil,” and, actually aid him in the (earful work of destroying souls. Let such men, in view of the judgment, in quire, and especially let professing Chris tians, and particularly elders and deacons, who drink, vend, or make “strong drink,” inquire whether their judge in the great day of decision, will say to them, “ Well done good and faithful servant.” * A COLD WATER MAN. From the Family Tern. Almanac. X Change Indeed. A gentleman, who had been absent from this country for several years, in the Pacific Ocean, returned to his native land a few’ months since, and Jeff the vessel, in whichbp, was a passenger at Tarpaulin Cove, a sjffiTH harbor on the western side of the VvfieyariJ Sennd.

These societies aie rapid ly increasing, and you will now hardly find an individual, who has any respect for himself, or regard to the interest* of his fellow creatures, who is not an advocate for the principles of to tal abstinence; anil thus Temperance Stores and Temperance Taverns, to accommodate tempertue men, are springing up in all parts ot the country.” “ 1 was not aware of this before,” said the traveller. “1 consider it joyful news; and! from tile bottom of my heart, I honor those in dividuals who have been inst rumental in effect ing such a change in public sentiment.

Blood is theirs; the foundation, the floor, the walls, the roof is stained with blood. And canst thou hope, O. thou man of blood, though thou art “clothed in scarlet nnd fins linen, and furost sumptuously every day,” canst thou hope to deliver down the fields of b.ood to the third generation. Nut so, for there is a God in Heaven, therefore thy name shall be blotted out.

Their complexion is jet black, their hair coarse and woolly, their features flat, disagreeable, almost hideous. They j go perfectly naked, and live entirely in the woods, with no other habitation than a Itollow tree or nt least miserable’ hut rudely constructed of sticks and bark. Their mind is’as dark and debascdTas their bodies. Their manners and habits are characterised by the low instinctive crafii ness and cunning, the exercise of which is alone adapted to their precarious und pre datory mode of existence. With the cun ning of a fox they combine the active fe rocity of the Oger; and as the wild anim als of their country resemble none other in the known world, so do they differ from all human beings hitherto discovered by the restless spirit of enterprise.

The following articles are from “An Appeal in behalf of the Sabbath,” in the form ot a newspaper, about to be published in the City of New York, and devoted en • tirely to the enforcement of tlie great duty of keeping holy the Sabbath day. INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIANS. I appeal also to every individual Chris tian, high or low, rich or poor. You stand on an eminence—the world is gazing upon you—the example you set will not only tell on your ow n character nnd destiny,hut on the character and destiny of unborn ages. Perhaps you may think you will not lie known as a Christian, when tVavelling frornl home, and your influence will not lie very deleterious. Rut will lie known as a Christian, if you act consistently, and if you are not known in this character, you will, in all probability, be known ns a hypocrite.

If you had what would buy you earthly friends, you might think you could do a little longer without the assistance and friendship of God. Who is it that gives yon your money, your friends and all your enjoyments? you will say it is God. Then I ask, is it wise, when your means are slender and wlren vou need his aid the most7~ to disobey him and cast him off? It is not wise. But it is always safe, at all times,, nnd in all places, and under all circuit;-, stances, to obey God; and he tells you to “ remember the Sabbath day to keep it ho ly.” ‘ You are bounda not only to keep the Sabbath yourself, but to do all in your, power to have your household and the stranger within your gates, observe and sanctify it. Pursue the course marked out
