As the front door had been fastened up for the winter, and there was no exit thro’ the back kitchen, (in which the fire originated from a pan of ashes placed there on Sunday.) a window was broken, and soon Mrs. Mark and four of the children were safe outside the house. Mr. Mark, who had rushed upstairs to save his mother, was followed by a little daughter about eight years old, and it is probable that they and the old lady were smothered by the dense smoke, as neither of- them descended. the stairs, ,and- soon afterwards the roof fell in. The survivors, who were in their night- clothes and barefooted, lingered around the fire for some time, the children mounting an old sleigh that had been f'left near the house, and finally waded through the snow to a relativc’s, a distance of about half a mile. The feet of all except the baby and the next youngest, who were carried, were badly frost-bitten ;-and'it was said zit-first that Mrs. Mark’s feet and ankles were frozen solid and would have to be amputated, butane are glad to hear that the doctors have hopes of Saving them. The badly burned remains of the three victims were found in the ruins, thefather and l 1 daughter, lying close togethenandathe. old lady several feet from them. It is needless to say that the. news .of the tragedy sent a .tht-ilLof..horror through the community, and that: the sincerest sympathy for the widow and her father» loss. childronds felt and expressed. , The farméon which thesad affair tooiclplace is the property of Mr. Thomas Johnston, who has been living at the Falls since he was crippled by an accident several years ago. There is an insurance of $200 on the house that was burned, but none, as far as we‘ have heard, onithc contents, all of which were destroyed. The British (in Foreign Bible Soc’y. The annual meeting of the Bible So- ciety was held a,.fe\v weeks ago in this village, and collectors for annual sub- scriptions will be round shortly. In view of this, we respectfully submit the fol- lowing to the attention of our readers: The British and Foreign Bible Soci- ety have lately issued a circular .propos- ing an increase in their annual income by $125,000. The excess of income over expenditure during the previdus four years has amounted to a total of no less than $335,000, and during-the last year alone it was nearly $120,000. This has come from the great extension of the Society's oporations,.to meet fresh openings and growing demands for the, circulation of the Scripturcs in almost all parts of the world. During the ten years past‘fifty-three new tl’anslations have been. made, and the Scriptures are now available, at least in part, in three hundred languages and dialects. For years past the society's average circulation has been about four million copies per year. There is a pop- ular misapprehension that large profits accrue to the society by the sale of those Wm__ _... vusr issues of the Word of God, but the Moved by Mr. Arnold. second.- fact. is that the small prolit arising from Mr. Austin. Tlmt 10h“ 8- 0“"‘l'bcujs the Sale of the limited number of the application for the assessorslnp ot illN more expensive copies is much more municipality for the year 1893 at a ma" “balll'bcd by “10 large 1088 00 the salary of thirty dollars be accepted, node that a by~luw confirming the same be» much greater proportion sold below cost to make them available to poorer pur- chasers. The great increase in mission- ary labor and missionary laborers nag. merits the demands upon the 50ciety's resources, but the contributions do not keep pace with the demands; and either a great addition must be made to the income of the society or its work innst be seriously restricted and curtailed. Three hundred and sixty-four bible women, now having access to their hca- then sisters in the Orient, ask for grants for bibles. Mohammedan lands are now ready to receive them ; and in India the native mind is opening to the Scrip- tures as never before. Wide fields in Central Asia, Persia, China, Milesia, not to say the wide continent of Africa, dcumnd the Word of God. The Bishop of Exeter has proposed that every sub- scriber shall increase the annual sub- scription by half as much again. Cor- tainly this Society, which constitutes one of the great cathedral structures of Britain, should be assisted in the work, which for grandeur and efl'cctiveness is exceeded by no other whatever. There remains an immense amount of work to be accomplished. The Bible contains what SLJerome called “the di vine library," and until all nations have the entire library in a printed book and in their own vernacular, the evangeliz-i- tiou of the world will not be complete. But of three hundred translations only ninety contain the whole Bible, and of these one-half only are the product of this century of missions. There are two hundred and ten languages which convey to humanity a part only of the Revealed Word, while the entire Scrip- tures are inspired and profitable for them! Fifty-six translations of the two hundred and ten have only a single portion of the Bible, a Gospel, or some other book, and about one hundred and thirty of them have less than the New Testament.
