It is the misfortune of our nature that it con- Harps of Zion hung upon the willows, not because her friends were irf a strange land, but because her songs had become familiar to their ears and the heavenly melody of her strains no longer thrilled their hearts with extacy and joy. Of how many of his friends has the Saviour often been obliged to say, “ Ye did run well; who did hinder yout!” How often have the ways of Zion, wh : ch were once crowded vrith pious worshippers, been clothed iri mourning, because so fey Came tq her. solemn feasts ! If then the best cause on earth w 11 often languish— the. most sublime and glorious objects which can be presented to the mind of man may become familiar, and in too many instances, lose much of their power to charm, we ought not to qxpect that any af our efforts to advance the great criuse of virtue and pure religion will be free from the same difficulties. We ought not to"expect that our insti tution, which, from its limited resources, has not yet been able to raakq any sudden and abiding impression ori the public mind; and which still lias been in existence a sufficient time to lose that influence which* 1 novelty excites, will not also meet with its difficulties. Its friends at first were few, nor have as yet any extraordinary exer tions been made to increase their number. It has been, like most insti tutions of a similar nature, regarded with a fearful suspicion by some, and with a cold indifference by others. The greater part of our Chris tian community have as yet rendered it no assistance, and yet we doubt not that it would be supported by many, if they knew, and were fully satisfied of the nature of its object. There are many liberal and benevolent patrons of virtue and religion,* who belong not exclusively to any* particular denomination of the Christian* Church, whri are ever ready to afford assistance to the benevolent rind pioris exertions of the friends of religion. And though most of this class' of our citizens know little of our Society, we still believe that their kind aid may be; Obtained When'they sfhail ftrtty uridigi sltoftA the~dosr?ri of itSTftlMWUtioti. It has not been thought prudent or best calculated to promote the ulti mate object of the Society, to press it at first with too much zeal upon the notice, and particularly upon the liberality of the community. It has been the wish that all should be satisfied that its Object »is what it professes to be—that its friends Have no other desire tharVto spread the pure Gospel of the Son of God; and they believe that evpry act of the Society thus far, has tended to establish* the truth of the declara tion at its commencement, viz. that the sole object of the Society is to prepare', so far as they may need any human assistance, pious young men for the Gospel Ministry. . They believe no fifct of the Society .wil^ warrant the assertion that their duly object is not to* thfrist niore faithfu, laborers in the Gospel-harvest.* . And they think they haVe #nuch rea-' son for gratitude to thfe Lord of (he Hatvest; that a change in the public mind has already appeared on this subject. All must see the harvest white, and yet in a large degree destitute of reapers., All must see the immense field of usefulness before the faithful Minister 6f Christ And while the cry “ come over and help us,” is heard in almost every direction 1 in our land, Christians cannot but be convinced of the duty of pressing into the service of Christ, young men of piety and talents, \Ye also believe that all are now ready to acknowledge that the.samc _ piety and talents,Jivhen united with a well cultivated mind, may, 1>y the blessing of God, be made the instruments of greater usefulness to the * Church, t han when destitute of this improvement. And it will , not f JVv be denied that there are in the Gospel ministry, numbers of the nibs; faithful and devoted and useful servants of Christ; whose voice would never h&VelftjRen lieard prpclaiiw^jhe pt id tidings of salvation,' had they not been assisted by benevolent societb^?; We.car/nOt doubt 1 thdt there ritemuw in our country many intehifr.pt and pious young men who are sighing over the desolations of Zion.Vand who would be wilting to go,forth as the heralds of Salvation, cn\dd they persuade 1 ' themselves that they are qualified to instruct their ilAV.vv-men in the great mysteries of the Gospel. It must be acknowledged that every pious man is n teach his fellow-men. Every heart which has been sani t?

The age of miracles has long since passed away.* Men are not now endowed by the Holy Ghost with the gift of tongues. No' man expects to be taught at once by the Spirit of God to read his holy word. It is a work of Ipbour, ami must be attained in the same man ner an other acquirements. . . .. . f u Far be it from the Directors of the Georgia Education Society to* derogate in the smallest degree from the merits or usefulness of those reverend and pious irien who have not had the opportunity of storing their minds with as much human knowledge as the) could Have wish-., ed, and who’have yet felt themselves called* to preach, the Gospel of Christ: the success which has attended, arid which still attends their labors, sufficiently proves that they serve a Master, who owns' their labors.
