56,684.51 more than in the preceding year, the
whole numbeT of pamphlets and paperpnblished
and issued by the Missionary Union, in tho year
ending Dec. 1851, was 470,300, —equal to 12,-
626,400 large octavo pages. The Memoir of Dr.
Judson is in the course of preparation by Dr.

oluded within tfie homo field of tho Union. Of
the whole number of members, 1,338 are minis
ters, 1,759 laymen, and 472 ladies.
The following recapitulation, will he found to
contain a great deal of interesting information,
relative to.ihe. Missionary labors of the Union,
for the past year:
The number of missions prosecuted under di
rection of the Board, not including the ono at
Ava, is 18, embracing 83 stations and 114 out
stations, besides 350 places of stated -preaching
in Germany and France. Connected with the
missions are, 67. missionaries, of whom 52 are.
preachers, and there are 59 female assistants.— 1
2 missionaries and 2 female assistants have died,
and 2 female assistants have joined the missions.
The number of native preachers and assistants
is 197; total of missionaries and assistants con
nected .with the missions, 313. 10 missionaries
and female assistants are under appointment.
There are 180 churches, having a membership
of 13,738, of whom were added by baptism the
last year, 1,280. The number of schools is 79.
including 4 for native preachers, 1 normal, and 1
16 boarding schools; with about 1,700 pupils.
. The number of pages printed in three of the
missions, Maulmain, Tavoy and Assam, wub 4.-
392,300.
The pastors of the churches contributing to
thp funds of the Union, and who were not mem
bers of the same, were invited by resolution to
participate in its deliberations.
Dr. Peck, Foreign Secretary, here presented,
for the consideration of the Union, & paper rela
tire to the re-opening.of Burmah to the mission
ary laborers. Dr. Pi made some remarks while
on this subject, in relation to the condition of the
other missions of the Union. He stated that
there was a groat lack of missionaries for the
other fields, such ns the Teloogoo mission—Mrs.
Day, the resident of this mission, was very ill;
the Board had promised to send another minister
there,'but no oneoonld be prooured; ih'the Siam
mission, Mr. Chandler had returned to this oonn
try to: replace the printing, materials destroyed
by fire, but another grand object was to get more
missionaries, but no pereon was willing to go to
Siam r; all 'wished Barmah proper. So it
was with the other missions at Hong Kong and
Ningpo; they wanted farther aid; but oontd ob
tain none; all wished to enter the field cansedby
the re-opening of Burmah; Tho Executive Com
mlttee wished to know whether they could rely
on the IJni&n to contribute men and- money to
send additionaljmmisters to Bnrmah,without sub
tracting from the jost claims of the other mis
sions. The missions were in aprccarions sitda
tion at present, and-required additional laborers,
whioh,;if they could not procure, the mission
stations would stand in danger of being broken
■up from the death' of any of tho present minis-
ters, as their number was so email.
Mr. Stevens, of: Ohio, inquired whether it
would require an additional appropriation to
meet the wants of sending other missionaries to
Bnrmah.
Dr. Peck stated Ms belief that tho estimated
expenses of the present year, ($135,000,) would
not be found sufficient, to enable the 'Union to
send fire additional missionaries—the* estimated
number-—to Burma; and if it was done, he ex
pressed it as his' belief, the - other missions
conld receive no additional aid, whioh they so
badly needed, and would run the danger of being
broken up.
Bev ; Mr. Cuwtso; made some remarks in fa
vor of taking advantage of the re-opening of
Burma Proper. ’ ■*-
Dr. Bailey, of Ohio, made a very able address
in fhvor of sending additional missionaries to Bar;
ma. . He. believed tflht they conld meet the emer
gency that wee-before them; he-was in favor of
going, ahead, in sending missionaries to that
grpat field. If there was not a dollar in the
Treasury he would go to work as readily as with
thousands—he would not .thinkof retreating.'
The old adage “where there’s-a will there’s a
eaght to apply to the. present situation of
the Union. - Let them return. to. their • charges,
tabued with a spirit for the work, and he be
lierefi flat they cotfid-raise the required amonnt
themselves.
Rev Mr. JIASWEtL,.a .returned Emfisionary
flrom the Maulmain Burman mission, stated that
whilst they were considering about sending mis
sionaries to Burma, there-were hundreds of vil
lages who did not heir theword of God. He had
often, during his missionary labors in the east,
studied which of the numerous villages of hea
thensopen to -hear the word- of God he would
yirnt. . The time, has come now, for missionaries
to be sent among the Burmese, and let us exert
ourselves In aid .of -the ~ desirable object. God
bad opened the gates of the Burman Empiro and
called on them to go in, and Ac believed that we
could do what God required. Ifwo wished pros
perity in alt our churches, we should hold ont
our hands to aid the suffering.
The time of adjourning having arrived, after
benediction, the meeting dispersed.
AFTEiIXOOX SES3IOS.
•::::::::::.‘::MAY 21.
After prayer, the Rev. Mr. Cutting,, of New
York, moved to Jay the paper on the table, which
was under consideration in the morning, in rela
tion to tho opening of Burma, d/r. C. withdrew
his motion, in order, to pormit the Rev. Mr. Bab
cock, of New York, Corresponding Seoretary of
tho American and Foreign Bible Society, to make
a few remarks in favor of, sending missionaries to
Burma proper. They should not consider, the
reverend gentleman said, the additional expense
consequent upon the re-opening of Burma, hut
wo should go ahead; we should not .stop to con
sider, or hesitate,aboutits propriety. We should
adopt the tactics of a great modem general, and
make a combined attack upon Burma- Our ear
liest works were there, hut the missionaries hod
been compelled to leave the country; ho believed,
however, that there was no necessity in their
ever leaving the.field of action. We had the ad
vantage of: a knowledge of the language, and
translations of the scripture, and we only needed
a little more of the Napoleon taotics—use all our
force in making: an attack upon one point, and
then cany the works—to raise our Btondard in
triumph over the country. .
After sorao further oouversation,:the motion to
lay on the table .wqs renewed and agreed to.
The report of; the committee on the Siam nnd
China missions was next presented to the Union,
and Dr. Peck took occasion to call on the Rev.
Mr. Lord, of tho Ningpo mission, to come forward
nnd address the Union.
Dr. Tucker, the chairman, received Mr. Loro
with some very affectionate remarks. He stated
that ho welcomed him back to this conntry, and
hoped that Mrs. L. would soon recover from tho
sickness which was the cause of his return from
the scene of his usefulness. He received him
hack to this country with a hearty welcome, and
introduced him to the Union.
.-Mr. Loan stated, that when ho was young, he
was fond of perfroming that portion of tho work,
on a farm, which was. the least difficult: so it
was how: the Christian church was cultivating
the fields of this world, and ho was fond of culti
vating those fields'which were easy, and turning
away from tho more'difficult ones: China was
considered a hard field to cultivate: 1 he would
admit that it was difficult of culture, and they
had to tarry long for the harvests Dr. Weight
commenced the mission in 1843, but not much
work was done until 1845, when Dr. Macgowan
joined tho mission. In the spring of 1849, ho
came to the mission, and they were shortly af
terwards joined by Mr. Goddard, who was com
pelled to leave Siam on account of tho failing
state of hia health. They had endeavored to do
what they could, and theirlabors had been, bless
ed. Four converts have joined the church—one
of these, ho trusted, was now beyond the reach
of temptation, God having removed him to anoth
er world. . He stated that two of tho native con
verts were assistants in the schools, ono of whom,
a man of good education, andhcld in high esteem
by his countrymen, had been laboring in thiB
glorious cause since 1847, and was a very effec
tive laborer; tho other has not been employed so
long, and was not, consequently, of so much use;
he was, howover, a good man, and desirous to
promote the success of missions. They both re.
quired a goad deal of instruction at tho hands of
the missionaries, in order may be pre
pared for service among their countrymen.
The Chinese wero of easy access to the mis
sionaries, and, in their treatment of them, very
kind and courteous; nnd wherever they went,
into whatever house, always received tbocour-
tesies of life, timi the instructions of the mission
ary were sure of falling on attentive cars. They
were permitted to go into whatever part of tho
city they pleased, and could extend their visits
to the country one, two, or three days’ journey,
and always be enri) of finding largo numbers of
hearers. the gentiemauetated,contains
near 500,000 inhabitants, including the suburbs.
If wo go east half a day’s journey, we find a targe
city, and in both north and west we also find
large- cities, and within the circumference of
these places we find innumerable villages. With
in a distance of eighteen or twenty miles of King
pa, there was concentrated a population of be;
tween .threeand four miUions;. and wherever
they speak the Nipgpo dialect, we always find at
tentive; listeners. In this large and dense pop
ulation we have only three missionaries, and, of
that'number, One; is employed continually in
translating. That man, although an invalid, de
votes his whole time and energies to that work,
and that is more than sufficient for him, consid
ering liis feeble health. He is constantly occu
pied, and does more good for the cause than any
of the other missionaries. Owing to tho feeble
state of his health, he was ofraid that, before tho
present time, he was called away by death from
the field in which he labored. His last words,
when he partod from him there, were to tell the
Executive Committee “to send ns more mission
aries!” He hod been assured that they would
do so, as soon as they could be obtained. ‘The
missionaries there are suffering greatly, and are
not able to Uve, without giving them the means.
If we cannot establish other missions, let ub
maintain the ones we have already established.
Let: not these missionaries stand the crushing
weight of the miasions themselves, but rather let
ns call them home.
• Tho part of the report referring to tho Siam
missions was adopted.- -'■■■■■'■
Tho report on Indian missions was taken up.
Rev. Evas:Jones was hero introduced to the
Chairman, who welcomed him among them. Ho
congratulated himon-his success in the glorious
cause in which he was engaged; of repairing the
wrong done to.that abused race, tho North Amer
ican Indians.
; Mr. Jones stated that his remarks must he bat
few, owing to the amount of business before the
Union. God had crowned their labors with the
greatest success, la the Cherokee nation,- it was
the .same os.la others, they were divided into
various, classes, or castes. Many of- them- have
attained a high degree of edaoation; they direct-
ed their: attention,.however, to the darkest por
tions Of the population, the-very lowest grades,
and tho bulk of the Cherokee tribe. Travelers
through their country would -suppose; from their
highly cultivated farms, colleges, and other sem
inaries of. learning,' that thoy did not stand in
need of was not so.
• These institutions were ereoted.by the Nation
al Counoil, who had control- of-tho funds, and
have established a system- of edneatiou - among
them, highly productive of good. Their labors
were directed,- however; to the pure Cherokees,
those that speak no other than the native lan
guage. Itk&s pleased Clod to bless our labors;
we have luui -congregations attending our meet-
fotir times as numerous as the present large
audience. He had seen hundreds of natives
come forward, affected by the preaohing of their
misaionaries- Within the last year, he had bap
tised, on confession of -faith, 1-68 nearly
all Indians. Whenever he conld call them to
gether, their labors wonld be -blesseih While
they vrerera session, here, fourteen meetings in

being held* asking the blessing of Gad on your
deliberations. ~The whole of the New Testament
hod been translated into. tha native > language.
Teelings of this people were powerfully af
fected by these translations. The work of the
Board had been abundantly blessed; especially
was it so by the efforts of the native preachers;
: Two Indians, who had been converted and had
themselves beooxne teachers, were introduced to
the Union. AJon of Mr- Jones, who speaks the
I Cherokee ns well os his native tongue* translated
.the speeches of these sons of the forest
Aaahaoa, one of the Indians, said: Brothers
and sisters, 1 rejoice at the opportunity of ad
dressing you, 1 have not mach time to occupy,
but will retain thanks for the blessings conferred
on,my people. Before your Board sent mission
aries to my people, they were in utter darkness
in reference to the gospel. The commencement
of the work was made in North Carolina before
their removal. At the present time my tribe fa
settled In the west, among churches established
by your missionaries. ; The success the gospel
has met, has been for greater than it was before
that circumstance. X hope and think the pros
pect g9°d of the blessings of the gospel beiog ex
tended to surrounding nations. We have several
churches and stations among us, and many of the
Cherokees are industrious and laboring ohris
tians. At these places, on tho Sabbath anti oth
er evenings through the week, they assemble to
gether for prayer. Through tho instrumentality
of our prayer meetings, many persons of other
tribes,.who accidon tally happen to be in tho vi
cinity, are brought to a senso of their condition
Our facilities for travelling are so different from
yours, that it requires a groat deal of energy to
circulate the gospel. ■ At tho presont time ar
rangements are being made to circulate the gos
pel among tho Oasages, a tribe west of tho Chor
okees, and an effort will be shortly made to es
tablish a station among them. The field is still
open and stretches far out; the end cannot bo
seen.■.
Lewis Dowxet was then introduced;' He said:
I have not been able to understand all tho re
ports read, and am not used to speak before
largo deliberative bodies, on subjects liko this.
One thing that has been mentioned in the re
port, is tho foundation of all tho good done in
my native tribe; that is the cause of my stand
ing before you;.l mean tho translation of the
Bible. Efforts made before this translation were
like tho early dawn of day, but now, since the
Testament was circulated, it was like the bril-
liant light of tho sun on the earth nt mid-day.
If I bad time, 1 could bring forward innumer
able instanoos. of conversion by reading the
translation, without tho aid of a minister, liv
ely family has been furnished with a copy, imd
they are read daily. While you ore assembled
together, there arc !4 assemblages among the
Cherokces, praying for your deliberations, and
that God would give you assistance to hold on
to the throne of grace.
The report was accepted.
Tho time forgoing into an election for officers
