days are more especially needed, or which have been particularly
lost sight of, and may lead believers to return to the written Word of
God.

There was laid out for this object, from May 26, 1854, to May 26, 1855,
the sum of 624l. 8s. 4d.; and there were circulated within this year
895,034 Tracts and Books.

The total number of all the Tracts and Books circulated from the
beginning up to May 26, 1855, was 3,584,710.

The total amount of means, expended on this object, from Nov. 19, 1840,
to May 26, 1855, is 2868l. 15s. 6 3/4 d.

We desire to be truly thankful to the Lord, for having intrusted us
with means, and given us open doors, for the circulation of so many
copies of the Holy Scriptures, and so many thousands of Tracts; and for
having enabled us to assist again to such an extent preachers of the
unsearchable riches of Christ; but we do not rest in this. Our trust was
in the Lord for His blessing upon our efforts. Nor has He allowed us to
wait upon Him in vain, during this year. We had not only very many
answers to our prayers with regard to the obtaining of means, but also
many answers to prayer as it respects fruit resulting from our labours.
Thus also with reference to the circulation of Tracts. Again and again
instances came before us in which souls were converted through the
Tracts, which the Lord had allowed us to send out during the year. Among
others, I would only mention, that an actor on the stage, to whom one of
them was given, was brought to the knowledge of the Lord.

Tract distributors, who can afford to pay for Tracts, and who desire to
procure Tracts from us, may obtain them for this purpose with a discount
of one-half, or 50 per cent., from the retail price. I state this, as
many be1ievers may not like to give away that which cost them nothing,
and yet may, at the same time, wish to obtain as much as possible for
their money. Applications for this should be made verbally or in writing
to Mr. Stanley, at the Bible and Tract Warehouse, No. 34, Park-street,
Bristol. To him, also, application may be made for specimen packets
containing an assortment of the Tracts and small books which are kept.
By sending 3s., 5s., 7s., or 10s. in postages to Mr. Stanley, No. 34,
Park Street, Bristol, packets will be sent to any part of England,
Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Jersey, Guernsey, &c., post paid, containing
specimens to the amount of the postages sent.
