We regret that we have let so pood a ca.ise as the circulation of the Holy Scriptures, lie so long dorinant-but we rejoice that now a new stimulr.s is given to the work, and we hope the zeal and activity of the love.s af trnth, ^^ery where, w^ll in- crease, until every family, mkI every individual of the hu- man race shall be in possession of the word ol God. Brethren,— our reason for addressing you is, to inspire vou. if possible, with such a ze.l for the circulation of ib» Holv Scriptures, as nothing but death can extinguish. The cause is so good that no opprobnuni can make us ashamed of it, and we hope that no difficulty or trial ^^ll ever divert us from supporting it. Its object is so exten- sive that we need to call on all the friends of truth to lend their helping liand. It has so many enemies that we need arousi all the energies of the people of God to engage in the work, and to come, " to the help of the Lord agamst the mighty." It is the cause of Cod, tlierefore we are certain of ulti- mate success. The L^rd has engaged to budd up Zion- to raise her ruins-and to make her - a praise m the whole earth."
