The Committee feel it a duty duo to themselves and to the Christian public to state , that encouraged bythelibe-<* ality of the iriends of the soldier , they hare considerably extended Jfche lino of their operations rand-from the deeply interesting reports ( several of which have been recently printed and widely circulated ) which they are constantly receiving from their agents , it is evident that the Lord is ^ -working by them-and with them , and thus crowjiing their needful and arduous labours with a large measure of suc-¦ . cess . Hence * hey are encouraged aud emboldened to make a fresh appeal to the continued sympathies , fervent prayers , tjand renewtJd' -Hberahty of their supporters in this cause-For the spiritual and eternal benefit of the brave and be-- ' -Joved defenders of our country ( in humble dependence on "the Divine blessing ) , therearenow actively employed under ^ the auspices- *? this Society , nineteen Scripture-readers , J And the Committee would entertain the hope that this number may yet further be augmented if this appeal isliberally responded to , « eeiug that the supply is far from being at all adequate with the \ yide and yet widening field of labour which Is presenting itself on every side . ¦ ,.,.. . ^¦ The following are the several departments of labpWoccuflied in thiB Christian enterprise . One agent is activelyjand usefully employed in visiting the Barracks in London , Westminster , and'the surrounding Military D 6 p 6 ts . One -is -engaged among the Militia in London , and its vicinity .,-who " \ ml alsovisilrthe wivesaud families of the Soldiers . : lt is also the intention of the Committee , as promptly as ' possible , to mature cortain . plans for the employment of a Scripturereader at-Aldershott , during the great encampment , which is likeiy-for some months to be located there . There are also one agent in Kent , one in Dorsetshire , occupied among the Militia , one in the West of England , one in Yorkshire , one missionary tothe Bussian prisonersatPlymouth and elsewhere , one in"Scotland , and one in Ireland . " : <© n forsigmservice—thereare eight at Constantinople * -and > Soutari . 'Two of these are clergymen of the Church of iSlngland , one of whom chiefly directs his attention to the ¦ spiritual instruction of the Protestants in the French : ^ urmy . One is at Balaklava . And the Committee have much pleasure in stating that they have also just appointed a Scripture ~ readerto labour among the thousands of -Military at-Malta , under the auspices of the Bev . W . Hare the Garrison Chaplain . . ,. x . . „ A series of small and interesting publications , especially adapted to the thoughts and habits or the soldiery , have been prepared , and gratuitously and widely circulated by all-the egents at their various spheres df labour , at home and abroad . Also , an interesting magazine , entitled " The 'Sentinel ? " is published every alternate month , and gratuife--ously circulated , and cordially accepted by the Soldiers . Having before them so extensive and inviting a field of ' . "labour , the -Committee confidently present the religious claims of this -Society to continued and increased support "before all those who profess to feel the vast value of immortal souls . They therefore most respectfully , yet most earnestly , entreat their friends , and the public at large , in no degree to relax their efforts ( for the claims on the 1 Committee are great and urgent ) , but rather still more effectively than before to aid them in this great and important' enterprise , by their Christian sympathies , and , " above all , by their united and fervent prayers for a still larger measure' of the Divine blessing on their several labours , at home and abroad . \ eOKTJtIBtJTION 8 BECEIVED SINCE tAST ADVEBTISEMENT s—.
