International Tract and Missionary Society Directory.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

ORGANIZATION AND OBJECT.

THE International Tract and Missionary Society was organized August 13, 1874. It furnishes health, temperance, and religious publications to co-operative missions and individuals in every State and Territory in the United States, and to every civilized nation on the globe. Some years it has placed in free public libraries in this country over 10,000 volumes of standard religious books, at a cost of over $10,000. In addition to this, it has placed valuable books in many libraries in England, Australia, and elsewhere, and supplied reading-rooms in all parts of the world with health and religious periodicals. It has also furnished sets, consisting of ten bound volumes, to a large number of steamships visiting our own and foreign ports. Branch societies are being organized in all parts of the United States, Europe, and Australia.
