The Tract Fund.

By James White

WHEN we were at Ithaca last summer, we were speaking upon the subject of circulating tracts, and were overheard by sister Jeffrey at whose house we were stopping. In a moment she expressed her approbation and handed Mrs. W. five dollars toward a tract fund. From this the matter started which finally suggested the more enlarged plan of circulating Spiritual Gifts, &c.

Learning that our good sister Jeffrey was sick, we have come to her house and find her some better. Her interest in the cause is the same. From her hand we have just received $10 for the book fund, and in her sitting-room we now write.

In regard to tracts, when we set forth the importance of their circulation and offer them for sale for purchasers to give to the poor, and that we will give it them to those who have not the means to obtain them, we find most ready to pay for them. We have them in packages, and take only what we have to pay for them of those who give them to the needy.
