The number of these auxiliary societies are rapidly
increasing throughout the world, and their good selects
may easily be anticipated.These,and the estaLlishmem of Sunday Schools in different parts of the United states, has had the most salutary effects, and every good man will no doubt give encouragement to that
rich source, which opens a field to virtue, and plants
the ever living seeds of a glorious immortality.
