Missionaries' Meeting in Washburn Hall.
•
Over fifty returned foreign missiona
ries, including their wires and children and
the widows of msssionaries met in Washburn
Hall this morning at eight o'clock. Rev.
Mr. Bingham, formerly of. the Sandwich Is
lands presided, and speeches of about three
minutes each were made by Rev. Messrs
Riggs' from the Dacotah Indians, Webb of
India, Ireland of South Africa, Doolittle of
China and White of Western Asia, They
referred to the sorrows and the joys of mi.s.
sionary life, and appealed to their hearers for
their, prayers in behalf of the great work in
the countries where they - had labored—which
they represented as prospering largely,
The mothers' meeting in Washburn Hall,
at 4 P. M„ was one of the most interestino ,
gatherings connected with the meeting of th;
board. It was composed of mothers and.pas
tors' wives, and the exercises were.entirely in
the hands of the ladies. The hall was filled
to its utmost capacity, rnany.beintr obliged to
go away for want of room. The nieeting was •
opened by Mrs. Charles Washburn of this city
and Mrs: Bowker of East Boston-lecb the as
sembly in prayer, after which Mrs.' Warren
of Boston made a statement of the - work and
success of the Union Maternal Association of
Boston. This Association is much prized by
those who are aware of its influence,' and sim
ilar organizations are urged in every church.:
The association, besides its central meeting
snperintends ten branch mission in the city
among the poor, where meetings are held
weekly, to which mothers and others desir
ing counsel and advice are welcome. They
are conducted by ladies of education and
ability, and are esteemed among the most
useful agencies in the hands of the church.
Interesting remarks were made by Mrs.
Dr. Anderson of Boston, and Mrs. Davis of
Westfield, and a lady from Montreal gave an
interesting report of the Maternal association
in that city. _Prayer was offered by Mrs. I.
P. Warren and Mrs Albert Bowker of Boston,
and others, and the meeting was much en
joyed and was Considered to have been
among the most useful and practical of the
session.
A large meeting was held in Union church
in the evening, at which Dr. Palmer of ,
bany presided, and with Rev. J. P. Gulliver
of Norwich, and Rev. Mr. Webb, from the
Madura missiori,'addresSea the people.
FOURTH DAY
The closing exercises of the meeting of
the Board took place at 81- o'clock in the
presence of a very large audience. The:ex
tremely early hour detained many of our
citizens who desired to attend, but a large
proportion of the strangers from abroad were
present. The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. Dr. Hawes of New llaven,
who in appropriate and earnest words ren
dered thanks for the past prosperity and
present prospects of the board—after which
the audience joined in singing
"All hail the power of Jesus name."
to " Coronation." The effect was grand-
The intense spmpathy and feeling, incident
to the affecting farewells so soon to be said
which prevaded the assembly, gave a thrill
and tone to the exercise such as is rarely
experienced.
Rev. Mr. Treat announced that, since yes
terday, a lady from Hartford had made a
donation of $lOOO, a gentleman from Roch
ester $lOOO, and through Rev. Dr. Wood a
friend of the cause $l.OOO, toward $600,000
to be raised during the year. This an
nouncement was received with applause.
Rev. Mr. Doane, from the Alicror.esian
mission, spoke. of the pressure which is
brought to bear upon returned mfssionaries
to induce them to retire from active labor
and leave the "obnitiletion of their work to
others, and of the L desire that so many of
them have to join in the struggle for the
detente of the . fi:fig, as being almost too
strong to resist.. lie said that notwithstand
ing tilt se inducement's to-remain - at home,
the' attractions of the mission . field were
stronger. The little church, the inquiring
natives, the memories of the past and the
glorious hopes of the future call, loudly for
us' to come back, and ,the graves of, the dear
ones we nave left in heathen lands call to
us to return and labor for the-eause in Whihh
they have surrendered ,their dives: ,
asked the.enoouragement and kied prayers
of the churches of America for' their ;pros
perity and success in'the ardnoui and self
denying work. • '
Rev. Mr. Jessup of Syria said that In) felt
differently.; that he had no desire to 'stay,
no inducements to call him to, leave his'
work. The native churches and brethren
call him to return, and he is glad to go.
He has given himself to Syria, and he hopes
to live and die there. He spoke of thopros
perous condition of his mission, and the
; opening which is just presenting itself for
missionary labor all through the east Ile
spoke of the many pleasures of his .work,'
the eager minds waiting for truth, and the
children learning to sing the hymns of
; Jesus, and asked the prayers of Christians
that his mission might be sustained and
"'Prospered. He gave a sample of the songs
of' the.Byrian children; the hymn, "Just
as:l am, without one plea," set to the Turk
iskinational air, which is universally known,
and now sting by thousands of children to.
the`'ivords " 01 Lae* of God, I come!! He
"closed with an allusion to his aged
father, formerly vice president of the Board,
whoie : dedlining years forbid his ever -ming
ling in like scenes on earth; Which left
hardly a eye in the assembly. •
Rev. Dr.-flopkinvpresidentof the Board,
exptessad theirxgratitude to. be people of
Worcester for the hospitality and ,lcipsimiss
which had so generously been tendered dur
ing the meeting. He alluded to the cause
in which the Board was engaged, and con
sidered that whatever sacrifices had been
tnade, had been given to Christ for the ad
vancement of his cause.
Rev. Dr. Brainerd of Philadelphia, led the
assembly in prayer; asking that. God might
reward the people of Worcester for their
kindnesS in sending a speedy revival of 'r
ligion to bliss and strengthen the' 'churches
of the city.
Rev. Dr. Sweester of Worcester spoke in
behalf of the churches of Worcester, thank
ihg the Board for the act of Christian kind
ness which had just been manifested. He
spoke of the anxiety which had pervaded
the churches in anticipation of the meeting,
and hoped that the occasion might result
in an increase of faith and devotion to the
cause of Christ, and that the churches might
find that they and not the,board were debt
ors for good gained from the meeting of, the
Board. He referred to the former meetings
of the Board in the city, in 1811, when one
Parlor .was sufficient for their business, and
one congregation in the South church was
all the outward display of strength the
Board could boast. He contrasted that oc
casion with the present, when no building
in any city could receive the crowd. At its
first meeting the appropriation was $999.52;
and the second meeting here in 1844 it was
about $250,000 i and now at this meeting it
has increased to $600,000. He.spoke of the
eagerness with which 'the cause 'Of the
Board was watched by the missionaries in
the field, asking only that they might be
furnished with means to remain at their
posts, and continue their labors for the sal
vation of the heathen.
He spoke of the great numbers who at
tended the meeting, and knew that no city
could•entertain the crowd without much so-
licitude and anxiety, but he urged that no
efforts be made to repress the interest. He
believed that the meetings were instrumen
tal in doing great good, and were not con
sidered a burden but a blessing. He paid a
fitting tribute to the women of the church,
saying that to them belonged much of the
praise and credit for the success of the so
ciety. He spoke of the true uses of life, as
being its devotion, and its surrender if nec
essary for the good of others, and that such
a meeting as-this was looked upon from all
quarters of the world as a great "source of
good and blessing. The labor of entertain
ment was not worth a thought. He closed
with the assurance of his belief that the
good results left from the meeting of the
Board would far surpass all that they could
carry away. The audience joined in sing
ing, " Blessed be the tie that binds."
Re'v. Dr. Walter Clarke, of Buffalo, from
the committee on the Turkish mission, to
whom was recommitted the resolutions con-`
c4hing the unwarrantable action of the
Turkish government in seizing Protestant
converts, closing -.Bible houses, and other
wise unwarrantably interfering with the
work of missions in that country, reported
the series with an additional resolution, to
meet the views of those who laSt evening
objected to them. The first three resolu
tions recite the factS of which the board
complained, and their concluSions in view
of the facts are embodied in the two last as
follows
PERSECUTION IN TURKEY.
4th.—" Resolved, that inasmuch as the
just and wise policy of notinterfering in the
internal government of other nations and
empires has always been observed by the
government of the United States, the duty
of our government towards our missions ex
tends no further than the, protectipn of our
missionaries as American citizens, against
all outrages on their persons, their property,
or their just liberty of speech or,' worship,
and having performed that duty efficiently
and promptly by the agency of our diplo
matic representative at Constantinople, nei-•
Cher the President nor Congress can be in
voked.to interfere otherwisOhan by a pure
ly ronril influence, for the protection of
Turkish subjects converted from the faith
of Mohamedanisra to the Christian faith."
sth—" Resolved, that mindful of the no
ble position which in former days the gov
ernment of Great Britain has held on the
question of universal freedom for faith and
worship, and remembering especially the
distinguished part which Lord Stratford De
Redcliffe, Her Majesty's then ambassador to
the Porte, performed in preserving that
charter of Turkish liberty, the' Efatti Ham
ayoun,' this board look with confidence to
the government of Great Britain, belieVing
that Her Majesty's advisers in this behalf
*trill not fail to eatimate the magnitude of
the many interests involved in the pending
issue; bearing as it does upon the wellbeing
of the powerful Christian races residing with
in the empire; the liberties and the desti
nies of the growing Protestant communities;
to say nothing of the millions of Moslems to
whom inquiry, and conviction, and uitimate
eVangeliza.tioia are imiiitable as - the course
Of thought, and the purpose of promise of
the Almighty; the influence of the right de
cision of this question upon the progress of
Christianity in morning time,: and among
many nations; calling to mind also the
honorable part- which the people of Great
Britain have takep in every great movement
of modern civilization ; will, in accordance
with the immemorial• policy of the 'British
government., and with its recognized position
as the protector of the native Protestant
population in the Turkish empire, interpose
such remonstrances,and, if need be, such
demands also,, as shall, secure to the perse
cuted subjects of the Turkish government,
and to all who live or shall' hereafter live
under the Turkish rule, present and, per
spective, freedon:v from exile, or bonds, or
molestation, or censure, on account of their
religious faith, or any reasonable expression
9f it before others, so long as its exercise
and expression iovolve no infringement of
existing law,"
' The resolution's as amended were unani
mously adopted.
Hon. John Aiken introduced a resolution
that the report of the prudential committee
be adopted and published as, the annual re-
PFt•of the, board, and , published under the
direCtion of,the prudential committee.
The secretary, Dr. WOrcester, read the
Minutes of the meeting of yesterday, which
- we're approved, with the final approval of
:the com pleted minutes.
—Rev. Mr. _Bingham, formerly from the
1 1 Sandwich Islands, read from the Commercial
jdvertiser the speech of the king of Sand
Islands on the question of a new con
and especially that of universal
Sniff age.
- The meeting was closed by prayer by Rev.
.Dr. Wilkes Of Montreal, singing the Doxol
:ogy, ''.Praise :God from. whom all blessings
flow," and .the Benediction.
In conclusion, we wish, to express our obli
gations to' the gentlemanly reporter of the
Worcester Spy forhis courtesy, and - to whose
full and accurate reports of the meetings
from day to day we are much indebted for
assistance in making up our summary.

PRESBYTERY OP WILMINGTON.
BEAR, BRO. MF...9.RS :-At your request
I send for the "American Presbyterian,"
the memoranda of what is deserving of
notice in the action of The Presbytery
of Wilmington, in its late stated meet
ing held at Milford, Del.
1. In view of, the rapid increase of
immigration to the State of Delaware,
the Standing Committee on Home Mis;
lions was instructed to secure the op
pointment of a missionary to labor at .
Points along the line of the Delaware
Railroad.
2. The pastoral relation was dissolved
between the Forest Church, of Middle
,
town, and the Rev. Isaac Riley. Mr.
Riley was also dismised to the Third
Presbytery - of PhiladelPhia,' whithin
whose bounds is the church at Potts
to which he has been called.
3. The Ministerial Relief Fund was
Commended to the churches and a stand-`
ing committee appointed to secure a
general response io the benevolent in
tentions of the Assembly :
4. Pastors were instructed to call the
special attention of their sessions to
the action of the General Assembly in
relation to the more vital union of the
Sabbath school with the church.
5. The stated clerk was ordered to
place the following resolutions in the
hands of the sessions.
,
Resolved, That the- Presbytery ex
presses its apprdbation and gratifica
tion at the numerous instances in which
our churches have come to the relief of
their pastors in the pecuniary embar
rassments forced upon them by the pres
sure of the times. •
Resolved, That the Presbytery would
urge upon those' churches that have not
made any increase in the amount, pf the
Support pledged their pastors at once to
do so. The Presbytery feel that this
would be but an act of -justice and
honor;—one indeed called for by the
spirit of the pledge given that pastor at
his call "to furnish, him with all pro
per support and encouragement and to
keep him from worldly cares and avo
cations ;" while at the same time it is an
absolute necessity ; to his usefulness.
One evening, during the meeting of
Presbytery, was spent prayer for
the country, and a most interesting ad-.
dress was made by the Rev. William
Aikman, giving details of his labors
among the wounded, under the auspi
ces of the Sanitary and Christian Com
missions. J. GARLAND HAMNER,
Temporary Clerk.
FOREIGN
The Bishops of Calcutta, Madras and
Bombay, have addressed a letter to the
members of the Church of England,
appealing to them for additional mis
sionaries and funds, in order to enlarge
the work of missions in India. The
appeal, after giving an interesting ac
count of the success of their own church
missions, speaks thus of the labors of
other sections of the Universal Church:
" If we turn to the labors of other
Protestant bodies, whose self-denying
zeal and successful work we heartily
recognize, we find that the work of the
Congregationalists [Am.Board,it should
have been,] in South Travancore has
received almost as large a blessing as
our own in Tinnevelly, that Chota Nag
pore is being gradually Chrietianized
by the Lutherans of Prussia, and that
the Karens of Burrnah have been. won
to Christ, almost as a nation, by Dr.
Judson and his American successors."
The Montreal Witness closes a notice
of this letter with the following re
mark :
" One grand result of missionary
labor is to draw Christians of various
denominadons nearer to each other.
There is probably more Christian union
and affection on the foreign mission
field than anywhere else, and the Indian
Bishops manifest it when they heartily
recognize' the labors of their brethren
of other churches." •

Sickness on the Peninsula.
Our army before Richmond have suffered greatly
from Chills and Fever, as well as Bowel Complaints.
Some regimenis have made a free use of
PERRY DAVIS' PAIN KILLER,
and have consequently suffered much less than those
milli, have depended entirely upon the surgeons. A few
doses of the Pain Killer taken in the early stages of the
Diarrhea, have often prevented a long illness. Some
are accustomed to use a little in water, preventing any
injurious effects from its too frequent use during the
hot weather.. . •

CABINET ORGANS.
MASON & HAMLIN respectfully invite attention to the
fact that their CABINET ORGANS are, by the
'written testimony of a MAJORITY OF THE MOST
EMINENT ORGANISTS AND MUSICIANS IN AMER'-
. CA, as well as a number of distinguished artists of
other countries, declared to be unequaled by any
similar instruments—" THE BEST OF THEIR
CLASS ;" also, that they have been invariably awarded
the first premiums at the numerous industrial fairs at
which their instruments have been exhibited. They
will be glad to send to any one desiriniit an illustrated
catalogue of styles and prices, with a large amount of
this testimony.
CAITTION TO PURCHASERS.
The high reputation of our CABINET ORGANS
has frequently induced dealers to represent that otter
instruments are the same thing that there is no
essential .difference between the Cabinet Organs and
Organs with various Mimes, made by other makers.
This - is not true. The excellencea of our Cabinet
Organs, which have given them their Thigh reputation,
are the result not merely of the superiority of their
worknianship, but also in large measure of essential
differences of construction, which, being patented,
cannot
,be employed ,by, other makers. These are
essential to their better quality and volume Of tone and
unrivaled, capacity of expression. When a dealer
represents another instrument as the same thing as
tfie Cab inet Organ, it is usually an attempt to sell an
inferior instrument on which he can make a larger
profit.
