The amount of sufferings brought in this year , is upwards of fifteen thousand four hundred add seventy pounds ; a small proportion of this sum has been taken for m > litary purposes but rhe greater part « as incur , ** d in th .

We have received an epistle from our friends in Ireland , and one from each of the Yearly Meetings on the Continent of America , except that of Carolina . In cobsequence of large emigrations from oAer parts of the United States , five qiiarterljr meetings of frirnds resident on the Western &ide of ihe Allegany

pendance upon Him , whose kingdom it not pi | ih } s / o ^ ld . Amongst tne numerous benevolent undertakings which now interest the minds of our countrymen , we contemplate , with mu : h satisfaction , thc ^ genera ) rirculaciOii of the Hoy Scripture Our sense ot that inestimable treasure
has been frequently acknowledged ; and w ^ e feel our elves er . gnged , to call the attention of such of our members as may be employed in this salutary work , to the sj 'feme importance of giving heed to that Divne Word , to which the scriptures bear testimony . This Word is Christ ; the 4 Bread of Life , ' and the
*« Light . of men ; " that " Light which 1 ghtcth every man that cometh into the world . * If we are earnest to obey the teachings of this unerring guide , we shall he led to cry to the Lord , that he would preserve u * from self-exaltation , from attributing to ourselves or others that honour which is due to him alone .
We should be on our guard Jest we should mistake our proper sphere of usefulness , or suffer any pursuit , however laudable in itself , to divert us from our true allotment of labour in the church . This watchfulness unto prayer can alone ensure our growth in religious experience , and our establishment in every good word and work .
* Finally , brethren , Farewell ! Be perfect . " Let this attainment be the principal object in view : then will you be of good comfort , and of one luind ; you will live in peace one with one another , and " the God of love and peace " will be with you . Sgncd in and on behalf of the Meeting , by JOHN WILKINSON , Clerk to the Meeting this Year .
