nroa'r or THE PRINCETOWN BIBLE AND MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

The Religion‘of Christ is destined to be univer- sal. To this purpose, sacred prophecy is clear, pointed, and deciive. It assures us, that in Christ, Abraham’s seed, “all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; that all nations shall fall down before him, and that all people shall serve him ; that the whole earth hall be filled with his glory; that men shall be blessed in him, and that all nations shall call him blessed.” These, and many other predic- tions and promises of God’s holy word, shall be accomplished, and the kingdom, authority and grace of the glorious Mediator, shall be extended among all the nations of the world, by means of the

SpeI, accompanied by the powerful energy of the Divine Spirit ; for the Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached.,,in all the world, for a Witness unto all nations, and the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform whatever he has purposed.

But the purposes of God, and the great and pre- cious promises left upon record in his word, are to be accomplished, and the cvangelization of the whole earth effected by the instrumentality of the Church; for so it has seemed good to Infinite Wis— dom, and hence the command given to Christians, and binding upon them .in every age—“ Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Obedient to this command, and zealous for the advancement of their Redeemer’s cause, the primitive Christians vigorously exerted them- selves, in publishing the gospel of the Kinngm every where, both to Jews and Gentiles, so that in little more than thirty years after Christ’s exaltation, it had come (as an apostle affirms,) unto all the then known world, and had been preached unto every creature under heaven. And this universal publication of the Gospel was attended with ex- traordinary success, and was productive of the most happy effects, as it always will be wherever it is believed. For, as the writer of the Acts of the Apostles informs us, many thousands of the Jews were converted to the faith of Christ, and great multitudes among the benighted Gentiles, every where were enlightened, and turned from Idols, to serve the only living and true God. Then the word of the Lord had free course and was glorified; and then was verified the declaration of the prophet, “Thou hast increased the nation, 0 Lord, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hast extended it far into all the ends of the earth.”

But for many ages after this extensive and suc- cessful publication of the Gospel, the religion of Christ made little progress in the world; nay,a false .system of religion, under the name of Chris- tianity, spread far and wide Over the nations; dark- ness again covered the earth, and gross darkness the people, for a long period of time, commonly denominated the dark ages. At length, the ever- memorable era of the Reformation arrived, when genuine Christianity began again to shine forth, in its native beauty and purity, through that dark cloud, which had so long obscured its glory. And

o

_ when the Angel of the Revelation was to be seen _“flying in the midst of heaven, having the ever-

lasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.” This was a great and merci- ful deliverance to the Saints of God, so that they .then had, and still have, reason to sing the trium— phant song of the Church, under the old Testament dispensation—— “ Our soul’s escaped, as a bird Out of the waler’s snare; The man asunder broken is, And we escaped are.”

But still, after the Reformation, the preaching of the Gospel was confined for along time within those countries which had formerly borne the Christian name. It was not till lately, even in our own day, that the Church of Christ, affected, not only with the low state of religion in the nominally Christian world, but also with the utter darkness of Heathen lands, has been awakened to a sense of the obliga- tion of her Lord’s command, to go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. A spirit of missionary enterprise has now, however, gone abroad, and Societies, having for their object the dissemination of Gospel knowledge, have every- where been formed, and are in active, and, your Committee are happy to inform you, many of them in very successful operation. The British and For- eign Bible Society, instituted in the year 1804, dur-

ing the period of its existence, has, 'in connection with its kindred institutions throughout the world, put into circulation nearly twenty millions of copies of the entire Bible, or New Testament, or integral portions thereof, in more than 150 different langua- ges and dialects. The Auxiliaries, Branches, and Associations, in connection with the parent institu- tion in the United Kingdom, and throughout the Co- lonial Dependencies, are not far short, if not now above, three’ thousand. Of these your Society is one, which has lately come into operation, with others throughout this Island, and it is to be hoped, will contribute a part, though small, for the ad- vancement of the great object which We have in view—the rendering the religion of Christ universal.

The funds of the Society, at the last Annual Meet- ing, were £17 16s. 6d., which, according to one of the Rules, you appropriated as follows, viz :—-

British and Foreign Bible Society, £7 0 0

London Missionary Society, ~ ~ 7 0 0 . Domestic Missions in this Island, v - 3 16 6

17 16 6

Your Committee are happy to state, that there is an increase Of £3 10s. 10d. The amount collected and paid into the Treasurer’s hands this year is £21 2s. 4d., which you are now to appropriate.

Your Committee would recommend the following distribution of the funds, viz :—£10 to the British and Foreign Bible Society; £8 to the Missionary Society in connection with the United Secession Church of Scotland, for missions among'the Hea- then ; and the remainder for domestic m1ss10ns In this Island. ' .

In fine, let it be remembered, that the work In which your Society is engaged is of great impor- tance—o work in which the glory of God, and the salvation of our fellow-sinners, are deeply concern- ed. Whatever our hand findeth to do in this work, we ought to do With all our might, and to do quick- ly, for the time is Short. Some of our fellow-crea- tures are dropping into the grave around us almost every day ; and soon must we all quit the stage of time, and enter on eternity, when it will be of infi- niteimportance for every one of us to receive our Saviour’s approbation, as the woman had of whom he said “ She hath done what she could.” Let us

c

all do what we can in the great work, assured that our labours shall not be in vain in the Lord, for the Kingdom of Christ shall be advanced, souls shall be saved, and in blessing others, we ourselves shall be blessed, according to the words and promise of the Lord : “It is more blessed to give than to receive— He that watereth, shall be watered himself.”-—“ Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring f0rth speedily; and thy righte- ousness shall go before thee, and the glory ofthe Lord shall be thy rereward; then shalt thou call, and‘fiie Lord shall answer.”—Isaiah 58 : 8—12. [The above Report was read before the Society on the 10th

of March, but we were unable to insert it along with the other proceedings, owmg lo a pressure of Legislative molten]

At the Annual General Meeting ofthe Prince- town A ricullural Society. held at the house of Mr. George earisto, the 20m ult. Mr. George Bearisto, one ofthe Vice Presidents, having been called to the chair, the Committee presented the following Report, which was unanimously adopted, viz :—

Your Committee having examined the Treasurer and Secretary‘s Accounts, find them corrcct, showing a balance in his hands 0f£27 14s. (did, as also the sum of £11 Gs. 4d. presently in the hands of the Treasurer of the Central Society, exclusive of 12 sets Plough mount- Ing, a quantity of Clover and Garden Seeds. And it is a matter of congratulation to state that the funds of the Society exceed those of the preceding year by upwards of fifty per cent. '

Your Committee recommend that six mould boards of the same pattern as the late Treasurer and Secretary now has in use, also, one dozen Dung-forks, one dozen Hay-forks, such as are usually imported from the United States to Miramiclii, be obtained by the Society, together with three sets of Former mounting, complete, with a few extra bushing and Screens.

Your Committee regret that the 30 bushels of Guern- sey Potatoes, as often recommended by your Society, have not been obtained ; yet, from the informauon lately given the Secretary by Dugald Stewart, Esq. of Dal- housie, of the great probability oftheir being procured, they still advise that they earnestly be sought after.

Your Conlmittee also recommend that a pair ofPigs of the breed owned by Messrs. Gilmo‘ur & Rankin of Mira- miclli, and so highly recommended by the late Secretary, be obtained if possible.

In addition to the stock of Seeds on hand, your Com- mittee deem it advisable that 400 lbs. of Red Clover Seed, six bushels of Timothy Seed, and such quantity ofGardeu Seeds as the Secretary may deem sufficient, be procured. ‘

The following persons were then appointed Office- bearers for the ensuing year, viZI—Rev. John Kier, President, (re-elected.) Thomas Hunt, Esq. and Mr. George Bcairsto, Vice-Presidents, (re-elected.) Mr. William Bearislo, Secretary & Treasurer. Committee— Robert Hyndman, James Sinclair, Donald Montgomery, Benjamin Bearisto, Archibald M‘Lellan, Alexander M‘Kinuon, John \Vebslcr, _ James Bearisto, Norman Ramsay.

After which the following resolutions were unani- mously agreed to—

1st. Resolved, That any person, by paying 25. 6d. annually, shall be a member oftbis Society.

2d. Resolved, That a Fair, for the sale of live stock and agricultural produce, &.c., be held In this Royalty on the 2d October next,'under the direction Of the Society, and that His Excellency Sir Charles Augustus Fitz Roy be respectfully solicited to patronize the same.

3d. Resolved, That the Secretary respectfully present the thanks of this meeting to Peter Macgowan, Esq., Secretary of the Central Society, for his kindness in

forwarding the several documents relative to agriculture,

as also his attention to the orders ofthe Society. 4th. Resolved, That the Secretary respectfully solicit the Editors ofthe Royal Gazette and Colonial Herald to give publicity to the above report in their respective pape'rs. _ VVII. BEARIsI‘o, Secretary.

The weather during the present week has been hot and sultry, but with the exception of'l‘hursday, not a day psssed without rain. Several farmers have got their hay in, but the great bulk of it still remains exposed to the weather, which now, however, looks more settled. Throughout the season the Weather in general has been uncommonly favourable to the Agriculturist, and the crops look healthy and vigorous. Hay will exceed an average crop. Wheat never looked better. Barley is now ready for the sickle, and large quantities of it will be cut down, and perhaps ground, before another week elapses. Turnips have been more extensively cultiVated this year than usual, and seem to thrive well. We have also the prospect ofa good potato crop.

A correspondent, who styles himself an old experienced gardener, says, the potato (solcnum tu‘bero- sum) can be made to yield 20 per cent. more than com- mon, by adopting the following simple and easy method: “ VVben the tubers have just cast or shed their blossoms, and are beginning to form the apples, then, with a sharp, smooth-edged sickle, cut off the tops of the. tubers, 10 inches from the ground. The result—will be, m addition of 20 per cent. to the quantity of potatoes that would otherwise have been produced. A part of the tops thus cut off may be given to the COWS, or boiled for swunc. The remainder will form a covering for the hills,'tbereby retaining the moisture about the roots—so much required in ou‘dry autumn—and also protecting the potato from the injurious effecls of frost, during the long nights of October.”

On the 315i ull. Joseph Christopher, an Indian, was committed to Jail, by the Hon. G. Dalrymple, J. P. charged with stealing a hat from M r. Dcaley ; and on the 4th inst. Mary Ann Christopher, :1 Squaw, and wife of the aforesaid Christopher, was committed to Jail by Donald Macdouald, Esq. charged with stealing Twenty- five British shillings from Tody Macintoe, an Irishman. -—-Gaz.
