those rooms were poor,' and the refit was high:
The removal would cost us some money;and
a loss of some weeks of , business; but still',
was ventured; and the result, thus far, indicates
that. it was wise. The furniture, Ste., for the
nw, store-room and committee-room, were .
Plied,gratuitously by a few friends ; we save fifty
dollars a year intent; and our' establisliniefit is
much improved in comfok and, attractiveness.
We submit to the Synods the following State
ment of the Condition and Business : of the Board

On,. this statement, of the Board,',o affairs, w.e
make a few , remarke:
1. It is obvious that . our expenses are .very;
Leso than: seven. hundred, dollars :psysi
our Librarian and salesman, our rents, freight,
taxes, Postage, fuel, stationery, '&e. Our . sales, I
owing to the stagnation. of .business, have been ;
not quite so large Its they were last year, but still,
the profits have met expenses.
2. Our Capital .has. increased nearly five hun
dred dollars.; our stock also, is larger by three
hundied`dallars, and our indebtedness is less by
three hundred sad nine &Bari; All this shows:
an improved condition.
"3. Contributions from the churches have been
less this year than the previons, by $l2O. Renee
our colportage work .end gifts home been; less.
This is deeply to be regretted. The indifference
•of our Churches to this work;; we do 'not knoiv.
,how,. to account for. When we say churph-,
es, we mean especially pastors and elders, the
leader's of the churches. The people we are .
.00riddent ivouhi contribute three-fold, or Aye-I
fold more than they de, if ,only they w e re in-'

views anti wishes of the *nod on this subject,:
1. We rejoice that the Board, under the dis

complished so. much,, and re gr e t _ that it has not
been in their power to keePniore atilporteurs em
ployed on sr , theroughtaree,, and . in .our, moun
tainous and destitute neighboihoods; and we
especially 'regret that 'the 'Board' has - not been
enabled to do more by way tof, sup dying enr,vol
ithteers with religions reading,
2. Synod regards thei4olicy adopted by the
: Board, of making the profits of Oa, boAlt. con,
cern support' the expenses of the estahlishment,
ea wise and proper. We' think it"queetionable
`whether atty.eireilar institution exists,. which; s
managed with greater economy ; and oar minis

, that by patronisingthe. Board andincreaaing

'ROM-CHINA AND JAPAN WO have news

The Prussian Minister has failed to obtain
a Commercial treaty from the Chinese Gov

the case, an American missionary is living
amongst them, it is in the meantime in si

Church of God needs continually to re

anxiety; there, are many adversaries; but
God has broken down the wall of China
of her enlightenment and purification. For,
