WAYS AND MEANS— HAU? A MXtUON ASKED.
Dr. Condit, Of committee on Home Department
presented a rc Port. Hesaid that some'fact/called for
serious and painful consideration. The want of men
was first noticed. ' At the most, but four young men
were under appointment for the missionary work
tins year, notwithstanding appeals for reinfpree
ments. Perhaps there is a qnestio# of sustenance ■
perhaps the demands of onr country hinder. Yet
there may be the want of a right spirit '
Dr. C, referred to the finances of the Board the
debt being bat little more than *6OOO. TheAemands
of the Board have been met with increased liberalitv
but the means of the Board would have fallen to
short if there had not been the most rigid economy
in conducting the business. The church could not
afford to subject missionaries to such restrictions in
their work. There must b e speedily an increase of
men. The time had come for an advance. We
cannot depend Upon legacies, or an occasional large
donation, but the churches must furnish the means
in their regular annual contributions. Tim com
mittee offered a series of resolutions, embodying these
views, and expressing its conviction that at least
sooo,ooo ought to be, and could be raised for the
current year, apd urging the church to recognize the
privilege and the obligation to do it.
Another resolution acknowledges a contribution
from the Free Church of Scotland in aid of the India
and Turkish missions.
The committee also recommended the acceptance
of the recent, act «>f tKq Massachusetts Legislature,
ia addition to the act of incorporation, Tnd the
adoption of its provisions by the Board. This
“1 B ° a ! d hold P r °P 6r{ y of the yearly value
of $30,000 i and releases them from the obligation tb
expend a specific proportion of us income m trania
ting the Scriptures.
Dr, Condit remarked: We have reached a
point of intense interest. Looking back from
a desirable eminence we can see that God some
times has leabzed more than our hopes and
rebuked out want of faith Ought we not to
say with new emphasis We are the Lord’s for
the cause of missions? The Board has reasan
to confide first of all in God Will not our
churches feel the importance of bringing up the
missionary spirit to stamp on our young men
an impress and sympathy with a dying world ?
Mr, W. E. Dodge rose and was received with
cheers. He came determined to open his mouth
under no circumstances; but I cannot help say
ing something. I am v ashamed when I come
and see men stand here—pur agents—virtually
left in the field almost alone, and when I hear
what those feeble, struggling heathen churches
do; how they deny themselves; and thenthink
of this land on which God has been pouring out
his wealth. In the last 20 years we have scarcely
made an advance, (we have advanced 130,000
in the last 10 years,) I said last year that
there was wealth enough in our churches to
raise $400,000; and I knew it. I have never
known so many Christian men asking, What
had I better do with my money? Where shall
I invest it? Many a man is embarrassed to
know where to place Ms surplus earnings.
Two entire generations have gone into eter
nity since we began'the work. Shall we leave
the present generation also to perish ? In 2 or
3 weeks the Committee will be asking, How
little can this or that field get along with ? The
churches ought to trust you with means to ex
tend the area, and to appropriate as much as
you can judiciously expend.—God has given us
these wonderful and talented men, the mission
aries, and they ought to be sustained.
Mr. Crane, of E. Turkey, saidthe came from
the spot where Meriam fell, and from the dying
bed of his widow. He made a strong appeal
for men. Pew of the speakers made better use
of their time than Mr. C. made. His rapid and
fervent utterances made a. deep impression in
behalf of the great needs of his field.
Dr. Anderson referred to. the Madura field,
where 1,8 missionaries are needed; one to each
100,000. The question maybe asked, How could
18 supply this field ? We answer, a great amount
oflaboristo he performed by native laborers who
come forward by scores. Our object is not to
supply a permanent foreign pastorate, but na
tives, and then send- the missionaries, to regions
beyond. In India a 1 great-number of natives
are raised. ,We want means tbsend 18
men to this field. . . . -
Mr, Dougal], of Montreal, had
wished to offer a word of sympathy. In this
work there is neither American nor Briton.
Many of us in Canada have received our first
missionary, impressions, from your agents. He
referred to the Secretary, Dr, Cannon’s, labqrs in
consequence of Which the speaker had been' led
to start a paper, which he hoped had done good
service for the cause, (the Montreal Witness.)
We love the Board as a model in its working/
This annual meeting is unique; combining
business with addresses, and uniting the atten
tioniof a great audience. Your publications are
better adapted than any we know for useful
ness. Your missionaries and publications uni
formly speak well of Britain.
It is true that of those to whom much is
given much will be required. It is also true
that to whom much is given much will be
added. 1
dr. bacon’s report and remarks on the. sand-
WIOH ISLANDS.
Dr. Eddy made some remarks referring to
the lessening of the resources of the Board by
the withdrawal of the Dutch Church, the South
ern churches, and the Old School. In view of
these reductions, the Board’s progress htfs been
real.
Dr. Bacon of the Committee on Sandwich
Islands and Micronesia Missions, to whom was
referred the report of Dr. Anderson, presented
a series of resolutions approving the action of
the Prudential Committee in sending Dr. A. to
the Sandwich Islands, and sanctioning the im
portant recommendations embodied in his re
port. Dr. Bacon offered some interesting re
marks in relation to the mission tvork in the
Sandwich,lslands. Id noting the-contrast
between Dr. A. ’s statements and those of other
travelers and visitors, he was induced to ask if
those travelers and yisitors are Mars. e
question might be answered thus : e ew
York correspondent of. the .
writes to his employed /hat he has mingled
with the people in the saloons and rea mg
rooms of New York, and that he finds no
patriotism and no expectations of success m
t his struggle. We know that the fact is other
wise, and must account for these mis : statements
by referencoto the coropan/ which he keeps,
C pplause) . And so a man may go into Ann
street, Boston, and report the peculiarities of
that, community as being characteristic of the
People of Boston. But it Only indicates what
sor t of a man he is, and what kind of company
Ae keeps. So travellers in these islands of the
Herman Melville type have portrayed the
characteristics of the low and degraded class of
the Islanders. But does that make Dr. Ander
rr? i lar? ( LaQ g hter -> A people has been
lifted from the lowest dregs of barbarism to a
Mgh order of civilization, a change greater even
than the bringing of the Children of Israel out
of the land of Egypt and making them victors
in Canaan. Porty-three years ago they were
Daked, living in kennels; to-day clothed and
living m houses ; than they could make only
canbes of bark and fish-hooks of bone, and
understood distillation, the latter art having
beeq introduced by escaped convicts from Bo
tany Bay. •
Dr. Bacon proceeded further to particularize
the contrast between their present and former
condition, referring to their laws, written lan
guague, temperance* and church membership.
In a population of 60,000 there are 20,000
church members in good standing. The disci
pline of these churches is far stricter than ours.
Thousands of them have been gathered into
the company of the redeemed, and thousands
were on their way to the heavenly Zion and
the church of the first-born; and it is oyer that
change that we rejoice to-day; that the mission
has performed its work, and henceforth the
people of the Sandwich Islands are to support
and carry on the work not only of home evan
gelization themselves, but take an aggressive
step in mission labors abroad.;
Ten years ago at Cincinnati we rejoiced that
they had become a Christian people, and to-day
we rejoice that they are capable of bearing up
the ark of God and sustaining and perpetuating
the pure doetrineSjof God and the* simple truth
of Christ.
Rev. Mr. Bingham thanked the Board for
having, sent Mr. Thurston'and himself to the
Sandwich Islands ■ forty-four years ago, spoke
of an excellent friend, to missions, although an
unconverted man, who as a merchant there had
rendered incalculable benefits to.the cause, and
given profusely of his means year by year to
its support. Thisyesrhis contributions amoun
ted to $l,OOO in cash and $4,000 in notes
maturing the- present year. His name was
JaUles Hunnewell of Charlestown, Mass.
THIRD DAT—MORNING SESSION.
The Board met pursuant to adjornment, and was
opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Barstow of Keene.
N.H. 5
Minutes of precedingmeeting read. '
Dr. Fisher of Hamilton. College, of the Committee
on China Mission, reported. Report adopted.
NEXT PLAGE OP MEETING.
Chancellor Walworth, of Committee on Place and
Preacher, recommended that the next annual meet
ing be held at Worcester, Mass. ; that Rev. J. B.
Condit, D. D., of Alburn, he the next preacher,, and
Rev. Edward -N. Kirk of Boston alternate. Report
adopted.
W. H. Brown of Chicago, of the committee on
Treasurer’s Accounts, presented a brief congratula
tory report oh the financial condition of the Board.'
He remarked that the Auditing Committee had left
but little to be done, besides that there was not time
sufficient for the Committee to examine the volum
inous documents. The balance against the .Board
was Btated at over $6,000. Adopted. •
Dr. Fowler of Utica, of Committee on Eastern
Turkey and Nestoria', and Dr. Palmer, of Oornmittee
on Tamil Mission, presented the usual reports.
Rev. Mr. Chandler of the Madura Mission, made
some remarks respecting the extent of that field and
of his own station. It contaned about 1,800,000
inhabitants. There had never been but twelve mis
sionaries there. It was divided into .18 so
that some had to superintend two. The district
assigned to the speaker contained 250,000 people,
and he wished he could have a helper to share his
labors. It was a mission of greafcinterest and needed
One than to 100,000 people, and funds to erect dwell
ings near the center of each district. He had bap
tized and received into church communion over 50
| adults, and the result was very encouraging. The
plan of itinerating had been adopted, which com
pelled long periods of absence from their families, a
severe privation. It was not considered a healthful
place, comparatively, but he believed the climate of
Madura was quite as healthful as any part of this
country, and it was surprising that so. few brethren
should present themselves for the work. As he
returned to India he should leave a portion of his
family in this country. Two of his children had
been born into the kingdom of Christ, two others had
not, and ;he committed them to the prayers and
sympathies of the Christian community, that he then
might go back to India with joy. He met a young
man the other day who expressed deepahterest in
the Board, and had always contributed to its sup
port The' first silver dollar he ever earned when a
boy, be carried in his pocket to the Monthly Con
cert, a»d Beating a Missionary address he could not
resist the impulse to contribute his dollar, although
it seemed as large as a cartwheel. Rut from that
period to the present he had contributed regularly
to and had been abundantly prospered.
This year his donation was $l,OOO.
Dr. Dutton of committee on Gaboon Mission, said
that the question had been raised whether they
should not include within the proyice of Africa mis
sions the emancipated and enslaved of the African
race in this eountfy. The .committee rejoiced in
common with all in the glorious work of emancipa
tion now going oii in this coiihtry, and recognized
gratefully the reason there is to hope for an increase
of interest in the African race in this country.; This
interest had been produced by'the great martial con
flict here . during the past two. years,conflict
which was closely implicated with their entire eman
cipation.
Blit as the work of this Board was foreign mis
sion, not home, the committee did not see that they
could include the African race in this country within
the sphere ,of their operations, otherwise than by
employing, as they hoped to be able to do in great
numbers in future years, missionaries who. from the
emancipated here, should be prepared by education
and the renewing grace of God for preaching the
gospel to their own race in Africa; and recommeded
that measure to the consideration of the Prudential
Committee. ,
Kev.iMr. McKinney of the Zulu Mission, was
called upon, and said he appeared as Africa’s
representative. ' The heart of this nation had been
laid upon the pulse of Africa, and he felt that her
.people were coming forth like the bondmen from
Egypt; feeling that the hand of God was leading
them.
-■ He came from the colony of Natal numbering not
over 200,000. Seventeen years ago he found three
.church members there, now there are perhaps 200
who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb,
and we would praise Him t even for the first fruits.
Now; in the country where he belonged, the natives
ore appropriating a liberal share of their earnings by
the cultivation of eager to building churches, and
had already contributed $2,000 to that purpose and
$3(l0 'toward the support of any one who should go
forth as the speaker’s colleague.

At the conclusion of the morning session, it was
announced that thirty corporate and three hundred
and thirty-five honorary members, and thirteen re
turned missionaries were present. A number of
honorary members 1 names were afterwards handed id.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Key. Dr. Beraan took the chair.
The usual Communion services were held id three
chnrehes simultaneously, commencing at half-past
2. At four the Board assembled for business.
The Committee on the North American Indians
reported, referring to the»sad .outbreak among the
Dacot&ha (Sioax) lastwidter. They object to the
treatment visited upon the tribe 11 exil ng tl em to
an inhospitable and sterile tract, as unworthy of a
civilized nation. They note the n markable work ot
grace among the offending Indian! and evpres sur
prise at the refusal of oar officers to How the agents
of the Board any farther access to the e men They
recommended approvingthe Prudi ntml Comm ttee s
Report, which was done.
The. Committee on the Missiot to Central and
Western Turkey reported, commending the wisdom
of the Board in sending Dr. Wood to Constantines'
pie; they notice the increase of native pastors and
native liberality, and the urgent call for more mis
sionaries The difficulties in the Pcra church,
though perhaps diminished are lamentable and in
jurious. The usual recommendation was made and
adopted.
The committee on new members and officers
reported, recommending ten new persons for mem
bership m the corporation Among these were
F. Starr, Esq., Rochester; Bev. O. E. Daggett, D. D.,
Canandaigua, Rev R R Booth and Rev. George
Prentiss, D. D., New York; Rev. R. S. Storrs, Jr.-
D. D,, Brooklyn; Rev. Prest. Stearns of Amherst
College; and Rev. E. A. Park, D. D., Andover.
Rev. Dr. Worcester wished to suggest another
name. Dr. Anderson said we mustr adhere to the
nominations of the committee, otherwise wo should
be at, sea. - ,
: Dr. L. Bacon of. New Haven, while moving the
election of these persons, objected to the large in
crease of the corporation. The fact that there is no
limit in the charter, he regarded as a misfortune.
There is a constant tendency to Gnr num
bers, and so diminish the responsibility. Many
members never attend. He referred to the number
of aged members, and remarked that the members of
this Board were of a class who have the promise of
long life. He wished’ there was a limit to the size of
the body, and said if we elected ten members there
was no reason why We should not elect ten more.
The case was as with the degree of doctor of divinity.
The honor of it grows smaller every day and more
think they ought to have it, and more persons think
their friends ought to have it every day. Dr. Bacon
asked; 'What is a Board? It means a body of men
who can meet around a table. . At this rate we shall
cease to be a Board and become a Congregation de
Propaganda Fide. •
Rev; Dr. Cox replied with spirit. He represented'
that a few more pastors from his branch, of the
church would be for the interest of the Board. He
protested against restrictions based on definitions of
a board drawn from Webster. Old men do not ne
cessarily grow effete: witness yourself l (turning to
the chairman. Dr. Bemau.) New . York City feels
. that she is not fairly represented. ;
The voting was here procededwith and the ten
mambers were unanimously elected. .
The following persons were then proposed as new
members in the Prudential Committee, Rev. Asa
D. Smith, D. D., of New York city Having resigned;
Rev. R. R. Booth of New York; Rev, Albert Barnes
of Philadelphia.
‘ The'-nomination of a person living at such a dis
tance as is Philadelphia from Boston, was an unusual
Step, and called .forth inquiry in regard to the duty
which would be required of Mr. Barnes and the pro
bality of his acceptance of the position. It was ex
plained by Dr. Anderson that the brethren at a dis
tance were elected ,as members of the Presbyterian
Church, to add to the interest of that church in the
cause. ’ Dr. Asa D. Smith having been elected to the
Presidency of Dartmouth College, and having vir
tually left the Presbyterian Church, ought not to
■ continue a member of the Committee. •It was never
understood that the brethren at a distance were to
attend the meetings of the Prudential Committee
every week. They were notified whenever matters
, of special iraterest to them were under consideration.
Their presence had been of very great service.
Mr. Griffith and Judge Strong spoke of the great
advantage to the Board in .Philadelphia and victnity,
as well as throughout the church, which would re
sult from the election of Mr- Barnes. No' method
could he adopted better fitted to secure this end. .
The members were then elected and the Board
adjourned to Friday morning.
CONCLUDING SERVICES—FRIDAY MORNING.
The usual votes of, thanks were passed, including
one to Messrs. Ellwanger and Barry, of the Mt. Hope
nurseries, for the magnificent boquets with which
they had adorned the platform.
On motion of W. E. Dodge, the Resolution pro
posing to raise five hundred thousand dollars, next
year, was put to the vote of the assembly. . Som e
stirring remarks were made, including a short ad
dress from the agent of the Board'in Canada, when
the whole audience rose to their feet to signify their
cordial concurrence in the resolution. Mr. Hastings
being' on the platform led off with the verse—
“ Shall we, whose souls are lighted ”
rn'wbieh the vast congregation, still standing, hear
tily joined. /
Rev. L. H. Guhck, M D, Secretary of the Ha
waiian Board, and Rev. Mr. Coan, of the Nestorian
Mission, made farewell addresses.
The President, Dr. Hopkins, said a few parting
words to the people of Rochester.
Bev. Dr. Shaw, of the Brick Church, responded in
his happiest style,' closing with a most thrilling ac
count’ of the death of an Honorary member, who
would have rejoiced to be with us to-day—Bev. Cal
vin Pease," D; D., late pastor of the First Church,
Rochester. He, said that, as -death drew near, the
dying man attempted to sing the Doxology, and got
through the first two lines;
“Praise God, from' whom all blessings fl ow,
Praise Him all creatures here below;”
when his voice failed, and he passed away to con
clude the song among the heavenly hosts. Dr.
Shaw proposed that the congregation now join in.
singing this Doxology, which was done.
Several other items of business were then dis
posed of viz:—a- report 'oh the Syria Mission
and Mission to Greece, with the usual recommenda
tions, a Resolution raising a committee to inquire
into the expediency of some limit .o the size of the
Corporation, and a lengthy minute on the State of
ihe Country, offerredby Dr. Bacon, all of which
were adopted without debate, and the Board finally
adjourned rto meet at Worcester, one year lienee.
Closed with singing the hymn—
“Blest be the tie that binds”— ■
and the Benediction. ~ •
The Army of the Potomac has prabably seen
itself depleted, within 1 the last two weeks, for the
sake of reinforcing Itosecrans, to an extent forbid
ding any active movements. Hence its quiescence.
The rebels in front are probably quiet for analogous
reasons. It is said the soldiers of, but* army there
believe they have fought their last great battle in
Virginia. Everything indicates a transfer of the
great closing struggles with the rebellion to “ the
Switzerland of America,” the grand military centre
of our country, East Tennessee.
Recruiting for the veteran corps progresses very
rapidly. In some instates entire regiments have
re-enlisted, and applications are increasing.
Gen. Gilmore is very quiet on Morris Island. A
late dispatch says:
On account of the sea washing too close to tbe
encampment on Morris Island, and the presence of
tbe men attracting sundry rebel shots, Gen. Gill
more has moved his force, down to Folly Island,
leaving, of course, sufficient garrison in forts Gregg
and Waglier to guard against a surprize.
A rebel dispatch, Oet. 6th, says: An attack was
made by us to-day on the frigate Ironsides, dainag-'
iOg the Ironsides and alarming the fleet. Two of
our men including Lieut Gassett, of the gunboat
Chicora, are missing.

As it is well known that the Secretary of the Treas
ury has ample and unfailing resources in the duties
on imports; internal revenues, aad in the issue of in
terest-bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is
nearly certain that ,it will not be necessary for him,
for a long time to come, to issue further permanent
loans, the interest and principal of which are payable
in gold. . ' "
These considerations must lead to the prompt con
clusion that the time is not far distant when these
“Five-Twenties ’’ willsell at a handsome premium,
aawas the result with the “Seven-Thirty” Loan,
when it was all sold, and could no longer be subscri
bed at par. •. ' ■ • •
This is a ■ ' ' '
the interest and principal being payable in coin, thus
yielding about, BIGHT PER CENT, per annum at
the present premium on gold.
It is called “Five-Twenty,” from Ihe fact that
whilst the Bonds may run for twenty years, yet the
Government has the right to pay them off in gold,
at par, at any time after. iTrib teaks. \
■ ’ The interest is paid'half-yearly, on the first days of
November arid May, '
Subscribers* ean have, Coupon- Bonds; which are pay
able to beairer, arid issued for sso,’ $lOO, $5OO, and
SI,OQO, or Registered Bonds ot similar denominations,
and, in addition, $6,000 and 10|000.
These “Five-Twenlies” cannot be taxed byStates’,
cities, towns or counties, and the Government tax on
them is only one and a half per cent, on the amount
of ineome, when the income exceeds six hundred dol
lars. per annum. Income from all other investments,
such as mortgages, railroad stocks, bonds, &c„ must
pay fiom three to five per cent, tax pn the income.
. Banks and Bankers throughout, the country will
continue to dispose of the Bonds, and all orders, by
mail or otherwise, properly at ended to.
