already available, while it is known, and may be here referred to with gratitude, that generous sums have in this way been sacredly devoted in several instances, which have not yet become due. LEGACIES. The following sums have been paid during the year from Timothy Sabin (in part), late of Lenawee Co., Mich. Dea. William Starrett, late of Warsaw, N. Y., balance, Roger Pegg, late of New York City, $40.00 82 05 100 00 100 00 60.00 235 00 $567 05 AUXILIARIES. The last three of our Annual Reports have not contained the long lists of the names and dates of origin of these professed helpers in our great work. The reason for this seemed obvious and just. For, a large class of them lying within States no longer embraced in the home field of our operations, and yet having never notified us of withdrawment from their relations, it seemed scarcely just to them or to ourselves to retain them in a relation so entirely nominal. Moreover, if their names were to be omitted from our printed lists because they had ceased to cooperate with us, the rule seemed by impartial justice to require that others, practically as little connected with the parent Society, should also be omitted. For these reasons the following table will embrace only the names of such auxiliaries as have purchased Bibles and Testaments, or made donations within the last four years. If any others shall be resuscitated and recommence their appropriate work, it will hereafter afford us gratification again to insert them in our Annual Lists. It is expected that new and enlarged efforts will be put forth, by our agents, and all our more active and persevering friends, to awaken in the auxiliaries a determination to engage vigorously in the home supply of the destitute, within their reach. In other cases, the necessity for this work will induce the formation of new auxiliaries, to establish and watch over local despositories, and by colporteur, or volunteer labor, to distribute widely the inspired volume.
