Some of these have long borne the heat and burden of the day ; others fell in earlier manhood, but we can bear cheerful testimony to their fidelity, wisdom, and zeal, in making known to their fellow-men the way of eternal life. Xor ought we to omit to mention the death of the wives of several of our missionaries. Their names do not appear on our records ; but, for Christian patience and cheerful self-sacrifice, gladly going with their husbands to the most difficult or distant points, and being their invariable helpers in moulding the elements of society on the frontier — such women are worthy to be held in honor by the whole Church of Christ.
THE BUREAU FOR VACANT CHURCHES AND UNEMPLOYED MINISTERS.
This Bureau has been continued in connection with the Board during the year. It was organized to meet a great and pressing want. A large number of our churches are vacant, and a large number of our ministers are, for the time being, unemployed.
DENOMINATIONAL COMITY.
The paper on this subject, to which allusion was made in our last report, has been adopted and approved by this Board and by the “Ameri- can Home Missionary Society.” It has been published in all the religious newspapers that circulate in the two denominations, and has awakened much thought and discussion.

THE PAST YEAR.
The whole number of missionaries has been 1123. They have been distributed as follows, viz.: California, 47 ; Colorado, 22; Connecticut, 1; Dakota, 1 ; Delaware, 5 ; District of Columbia, 3 ; Florida, 2 ; Illinois, 118; Indiana, 59; Indian Territory, 3 ; Iowa, 105 ; Kansas, 82 ; Ken- tucky, 15; Maryland, 22; Massachusetts, 4; Michigan, 47; Minnesota, 46 ; Missouri, 88 ; Montana Territory, 3 ; Nebraska, 35 ; New Jersey, 39; New Mexico Territory, 3; New York, 87 ; Nevada, 2; North Carolina, 2; Ohio, 75; Oregon, 12; Pennsylvania, 91; Tennessee,' 17 ; Texas, 8; Utah Territory, 4; Virginia, 2; West Virginia, 17 ; Washington Terri- tory 4 ; Wisconsin, 50 ; Wyoming Territory, 2.
PECULIAR TRIALS.
Taken as a whole, the past has been a year of many hardships to the missionaries.
The Grasshopper Desolation. — It is well-known that large sections of the West, embracing portions of Minnesota, Western Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, were laid waste by a fearful visitation of locusts or grass- hoppers, which came down on the land in untold numbers. The suffer- ings of the people in these desolated districts at the West devolved duties on the missionaries altogether unexpected and unique in their character, and created a demand for a new and special service.
When it became apparent that supplies of food and clothing must be forwarded to these western sufferers to keep them from freezing and famishing, the churches turned to the missionaries as the most reliable and competent persons to distribute their gifts ; and the missionaries promptly undertook the unusual service. We have no means of learn- ing the amount or the value of Relief Goods thus forwarded and distributed, but it must have been very great — one missionary alone acknowledging 27 boxes and barrels of goods, which he had distributed to nearly 100 needy families. Another reports the reception and distri- bution of 12 boxes of clothing and over $200 in money, the most of which had been used for medicine and supplies for the sick. Another, $888, and 26 barrels and boxes.
The whole number of boxes of clothing and supplies acknowledged to us as received and distributed, is 350. The amount of money is $21,000.
The general stagnation in business also affected all the enterprises of the Church.
REAL PROGRESS MADE.
But it would be a great mistake to suppose there had been no sub- stantial advancement, no real progress in our work. We have failed to obtain returns from all the missionaries ; but those who have responded to our annual appeal for statistics, report 5,538 additions to the churches on profession of faith, and 4,051 by letter. Ninety-three churches have been formed, and 38 have become self-sustaining.
THE FINANCES.
Those who have watched our financial condition during the year will mot be surprised at a somewhat gloomy picture. We began the year with a debt of about $20,000. The Sustentation work was reported to be burdened with an equal amount of debt. The members of the Gene- ral Assembly at St. Louis enthusiastically pledged themselves, their churches and Presbyteries, to pay these debts. But up to the close of the year only $27,383.02 of this amount had been received.

A BRIGHTER SIDE.
We think it a great cause for gratitude to God that we have been able to reduce the debt so largely, and that the entire income of the year from all sources, has been about $1,500 more than the amount for the Home Mission debt added to the income of last year. Our total receipts for the year have been $313,613.18, of which $15,025.96 was for the debt. But the silver lining to the cloud of debt and doubt that hung over us was, that the contributions from individuals and churches were so much larger than the year before, making a total advance from these sources alone of $43,095.79.
The sources of this Relief. — In a general way it may be stated as an encouraging fact, that nearly all the Synods show a creditable increase of contributions to this Board. This is more particularly true of the Western Synods as a whole, but most of all true of the Synod of the Pacific. It is pleasant to see that the West is helping herself more and more. But to be more explicit, we would designate,
[1.] Mission Churches. — We have also received most encouraging returns from the Mission churches. For the first time have they seemed to appreciate their peculiar relation to the Board, and to contribute to our treasury as if they desired to give us some relief.
[2.] Sabbath- Schools. — -We recognize with peculiar gratification the growing interest of our Sabbath-schools in the work of Home Missions. Many schools continue to pay over to our Treasurer the sum of $250 a year, to support a missionary, and receive in return a quarterly report of his labors, which has been found both profitable and pleasant to children and adults. If they would pay on the average only $10 each, they would make up the entire sum that we were compelled to cut down our appro- priations for last year ; or if each scholar in our schools, as reported, would give to the cause of Home Missions but ten cents a year, it would amount to about the same sum. A much larger number of schools have sent contributions to our treasury than ever before. We hope the rising interest may continue to increase.
[3.] Woman's Work. — During the meeting of the last General Assem- bly, some ladies deeply interested in the work of Home Missions, re- quested the General Assembly to recommend that the ladies in all our churches be invited and encouraged to devote two months in the Fall to making collections for Home Missions.
These suggestions were received with marked favor. An examination of the acknowledgments in the Record , during the past and some months to come, will show that they have prepared and sent to the missionaries, 331 “boxes,” while they have sent to the missionary or his wife, directly, sums that do not appear on our books, to the amount of $7,348.90. These sums have not swollen the receipts of the Board, but they have relieved the wives and children of the missionaries of burdens that were becoming too heavy to bear.
And besides all this, the women of the church have contributed directly to us, in their own names, or in the names of the ladies’ societies with which they are connected, and aside from what they have given in church collections, of which we can make no separate account, not less ‘than $12,582.58; thus making an aggregate of Home Missionary aid rendered by the ladies of not less than $19,931.48.
But the story of relief, satisfaction, and gratification, w~hich these special contributions furnished, will never be told in this world. The Last Day will declare it.

THE YEAR TO COME.
But the Church wishes not only to know what the Board has done during the past year, but what remains to be done, or what we need to attempt the coming year.
Three years ago we sent three missionaries to Montana, who took possession of what were to us the three most eligible points. The work has so increased on their hands that they now send back the most urgent appeal for three additional missionaries. Four years ago we sent a mis- sionary to Salt Lake City, Utah. His labors there have been a success. He has now an attractive and commodious house of worship, and, con- sidering the field, the number of the church members is large, and his congregation and Sabbath-school are most encouraging. His position seems already assured. He calls for three or four additional laborers for promising points in that Territory. Two such have already entered that field and begun their work.
Oregon and Washington Territory, although we have added somewhat to their ministerial force during the year past, still complain of their great need of men.
California and Colorado are quite well supplied with men, who, for their own or their families’ sake, have been drawn thither in search of a better climate.
Into New Mexico we have just sent two additional missionaries, from whom we shall expect good reports during the year.
Since the completion of railway communication from the North into Texas, a Northern emigration has been pouring into the State and spread- ing itself over the Northern and North-Western counties. Our friends there, and the Presbytery, have been begging us most earnestly to send them at least six men, to occupy important fields. Nor is this all, even the fields most devastated during the year have enlarged their borders. New churches have been formed in Kansas and Nebraska and all the other Western States. Kansas needs an additional force of ten laborers, Missouri calls for an equal number, Nebraska for at least six, and Minne- sota eight or ten.
What then shall be done? Shall the Board go forward and occupy these promising points? Can we raise more money the coming year than we did last year? It is safe and fair to answer in the affirmative.
There is one other resource, the greatest and the best. It is not material aid alone that we need. If the Church proposes to advance and take possession of this goodly land for Christ, He must be the Leader and the Helper, and having done our best with such scanty resources as are put into our hands, if He will come and crown all our endeavors with His bless- ing, great will be our success.
It was the unbelieving spies that said, “ We are not able to go up and possess the land.” But the men of faith, who believed in the divine pur- poses already declared, triumphantly protested, saying, “ We are able /”
Believing in an advancing church and the world’s conversion, and that God in his providence is beckoning us forward ; and that it is the wish of his people that we should not falter or turn back, we are resolved to pro- secute with vigor the work before us, believing also that He who is over all will provide whatever is necessary for our success.

GRASSHOPPERS.
Nebraska.
Dear Brethren — The past year has been so full of incidents that I scarcely know what to report as most important. I report one good mis- sionary box, as the sum of what has come to me in this way. The large and small boxes and barrels for general relief, (first to our own people, and then to others in need,) amount to twenty-eight. Considerable money has also been invested in new goods, at cost for distribution. Every one feels that the Presbyterian Church has done nobly for the sufferers in this great calamity. We have been the instruments of aiding nearly eighty families, and the supplies on hand will probably increase the num- ber to one hundred.
Our progress is marked by the completion of our church edifice so far as to occupy it comfortably, securing another preaching station in a dis- tant part of this county, and making a good beginning in H county.
Prospects are encouraging, as we are gaining the confidence of all shades of opinion and views, and of the people generally throughout both coun- ties. We want nothing but the fruits of the earth and the gracious influences of the Holy Spirit to secure prosperity. For my own part, my labors have never so abounded as during the past year, although I have been very busy ever since I can remember, and especially during the thirty years of my ministry. My wife has also labored extensively in distributing the bounty of God’s people to the sufferers. The extent of the work of supplying the temporal as well as the spiritual wants of so many people, has greatly increased our expenses as well as our labors.
During all my ministry I have never received so little as during the last two and a half yeaj*s from the people I have served. We have even found it necessary to divide our own small stores with the needy. Yet the liberality of the Presbyterian Church, even in these hard times, has been so great that we have been well provided for, and our people have been clothed also. The Providence that placed me here seemed dark at the time. Yet the Head of the Church has prospered His own work during all these months, and material aid has come from sources most un- expected. Presbyterian churches are liberal when they once see what is needed to carry on the Lord’s work. Although I have applied nowhere but to the Board, they have sought me out, and supplied my wants in this time of trial and great need.
With much thanks for your kind interest in me and those committed to my care, I remain yours in Christian bonds. G. W. N.

Yesterday we held our communion at D- B , when two were
received, the husband on profession and the wife by letter, and their four children were baptized. There has been and still is a great deal of seriousness at three of my points. I believe that several are truly Chris- tians, whom I hoped might unite yesterday, but they did not. I am dis- inclined to urge such a step, seeing the evil of it when practised by others.
Next Sabbath, communion will be held at N , when at least one
expects to unite by profession. The Lord has been very gracious to us as a family. Our eldest son (over thirteen years old) is rejoicing in

hope, and wished to make a public profession yesterday, but we thought it better to delay a little. I hope to see him and our other three sons in the ministry, if the Lord spares their lives and calls them to the work. We also hope that our eldest daughter (eleven years old) is a Christian.
I have been excessively busy in the relief-work, having received nearly $200 in cash, ($66 of it directly through the Mission House), and nearly a ton of clothing (a part of which we distributed on horseback,) and “ hospital stores” (groceries) for the sick. Some of the last, and also of the first, (which is for seed, and flour as far as may be needed,) has not yet been used. This relief-work will bring in a harvest for eternity, I trust. One family, in which the mother was so prejudiced against minis- ters and religion that she would not allow her children to attend Sabbath- school or preaching, have been so won by it, that they are among my best attendants ; and the same results, though less marked, are very common.
There has been a great deal of stormy weather, so that I have lost two Sabbaths, and the travelling has been exceedingly laborious. 1 have held extra meetings at three points. There is much sickness, and I have attended four funerals this winter — being more than for the whole of three years before. Hence I am quite worn out, and feel the need of sparing myself whenever I possibly can, which is my apology for the brevity of this report. As ever, yours in the gospel. W. H. C.

General Summary. — Number of pastors, 163 ; years of labor, 95 ; additions on profession of faith, 626 ; additions on certificate, 334 ; total membership, 7,148 ; total in congregations, 12,405 ; infant baptisms, 320 ; adult baptisms, 230 ; Sunday-schools organized, 26 ; number of Sunday- schools, 157; membership of Sunday-schools, 11,215; church edifices (value, $466,110), 122; church edifices repaired or enlarged, 16; church debts cancelled, $20,272; churches self-sustaining this year, 14.
From the New York Evangelist of May 6, 1875 :
“The Presb}Ttery of Lackawanna unanimously sends up an overture, praying that the General Assembly will ‘create a Bureau in the Board of Home Missions, with a secretary and an increase of membership, to administer the Sustentation Scheme ; or, that a secretary be appointed for the Sustentation Department of Home Missions as it now stands; and further, that the rule requiring a contribution of $7.30 per member be modified to meet those cases where, by accessions from Sunday- schools and Christian households, no increased pecuniary strength is gained.’
As regards this last, it seems to us that it would be more practicable to diminish the sum per member, than to enter into a special inquisition in every case as to the pecuniary value of new church members. Nine of the churches of this Presbytery originally aArailed of the Sustentation Scheme. As the case now stands, however, six of these pastoral rela- tions have been dissolved ; three handed over to Home Missions by the Presbytery, leaving one in connection with Sustentation at the present time.

WORK IN THE SUSTENTATION DEPARTMENT.
It has been intimated that if the secretaries had “handled” Sustenta- tion as they had Home Missions, it could hardly have been in its
“present plight.”
One certainly did not expect us to do as much for a cause to which the General Assembly assigned only $100,000, as for one to which they assigned $400,000 ; or that had but 200 missionaries while the other had 1,000 or 1,200; and yet in work and worry, and wear and tear of nerves, Sustentation has cost us not merely a quarter, but more nearly one half as much as Home Missions, for which the Board has charged the Susten- tation Department not a single penny. We made our appeals in behalf of both causes in our addresses at the meetings of the Synods — we filled the pages of the Record assigned to that cause with the best we could furnish — we wrote the most stirring appeal we could make in its behalf, and published it in all our religious papers, when we called for the annual collection, a thing we did not do for Home Missions, and we have held ourselves ready to help any pastor to take up his annual collection for that cause as well as Home Missions.
But what is the “ Present Plight” of Sustentation? It closes the year $13,625.61 in debt, as against $30,481.02 last year, actually paid out to June 1, 1874. We received for it in eleven months within $2,007.50 as much as the 12 months of the previous year, and adding the collections of April, making out the twelve months, $1,788.45 more than the year before. The previous year its collections from all sources were less than $52,000, and it made its liabilities to June 1, 1874, more than $93,000, and projected itself into the past year at that rate, and we have been ten months hard at work to extricate it from that “plight.”
An elaborate argument has been made “to explain the failure of con- tributions all over the Church !” If this is “a failure” what is a success? Wouldn’t it have been well to have inquired of our Treasurer how the account stands, before condemning the Board ? And with such a weight of years and wisdom gathered upon the critic, when he next steps down from his high eminence to rebuke his younger and humbler brethren, we hope he will make sure of his facts!

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
[June
The candidates in connection with the Board who are reported to have completed their studies at the theological seminaries are 55 in number.
Appropriations have been discontinued during the year, on account of protracted ill-health, to 3 ; for marrying, to 2 ; on account of irregulari- ties, to 1 ; otherwise provided for, 6 ; died, 2. Total number discon- tinued, 14.
The theological students have been distributed among 15 institutions, the collegiate among 53, the academical among 8.
There is real encouragement in the fact that the number mentioned is still 49 more than the average (441) of the total number aided by both branches of the Presbyterian Church during the five years previous to the reunion in November 1869. This shows very decided progress.
And yet there are 54 less than last year. This diminution is easily explained by the great and extensive pecuniary embarrassments of the country; the apparent discouragement to the maintenance and enlarge- ment of evangelistic efforts at home and abroad by a voice of the Church which speaks louder than words — that is, by the refusal of her members to contribute means for their support; the continued deficiency of means to carry on the work of the Board of Education; and the neglect of system and management on the part of the Presbyteries and other courts of the Church to effect a more just distribution, employment and main- tenance of men in the ministry.
THE TREASURY DURING THE PAST YEAR.
The receipts from contributions and legacies during the year ending April 15 have been $68,179; a decrease compared with the previous one of $24,815.
The decrease in the amount of legacies received this year is remark- able. There was obtained from this source but $5,528. Last year the legacies amounted to $14,625; a difference of $9,097.
Of the money obtained in bank during the year, a balance of $10,000 remains unpaid. To this is to be added a balance of $5,000 still standing upon debts of the previous year. The probable claims on account of past appropriations yet unpaid are small, and need not be taken into consid- eration. The indebtedness of the Board at the close of the fiscal year, April 15, is therefore just $15,000 ; an increase of $3,500 upon that of last year. There is in the Treasury, April 15, a balance of $52.39.
The full amount of the old rates of the Board has been paid to all classes of students. There are few who do not need much more than one hundred and fifty dollars while at the seminary, or one hundred and twenty at college, to meet all the expenses of eight or ten months’ study, and those of journeys to and fro. And it is the earnest hope of the Board that the liberality of the churches will enable it to give to students not less than those rates, and where needed to add to them.
The Board has adhered to its determination to fulfil promptly, at the times stated, the covenants of the Church with the candidates for the

ministry. It has usually paid within a few days after their receipt the sums due upon the reports of professors ; and in no case that was not exceptional has the payment been deferred beyond the end of the quarter within which it was expected. To do this it has been necessary again to resort to loans. This has been done with extreme reluctance, and as a temporary necessity, during a time of general embarrassment and depres- sion in the country. The Board is most unwilling to make a resort to loans, and the continued absorption in payment of interest of contribu- tions which should be devoted to the education of the students, habitual in the management of the work committed to it.
The expectation of the Board that the receipts of the past year would have been sufficient to set it again upon its feet, has been disappointed by the prostration of manufactures and trade and agricultural calamities ; but many brethren express hopes that another year will enable them to do better things. The change of time which was recommended by the General Assembly for “annual collections,” in churches which yet adhere to them, from March to February, was made to many of them a source of perplexity and partial defeat of the object. We presume that this misunderstanding will not interfere in the future with the presentation of our claims at the time designated. It is hoped that the system of annual collections will give place in the churches to one that is scriptural, and which would be far more effective if rightly managed.
After three years’ observation, the Board expresses its decided opinion that the plan of proportionate estimates for the different Boards, and pro rata division of collections of money sent through a common treasury, are the occasion of serious loss to this cause.
The Board estimates that to pay the debt of $15,000 due in bank, make the appropriations for the increased number of students which may reasonably be expected, and meet the various outlays of another yeary the total sum of $120,000 is needed. — Annual Report.
SOME GROUNDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
We must advert with great thankfulness to the numerous grounds for- encouragement which we have had in connection with the practical oper- ations of the Board ; to the still increasing healthfulness of its general work, the cordial tone of the correspondence with the Committees of Education, the cheerful attention of the Presbyteries to the requirements of the rules appointed for the government of them and of the Board, and the general high tone of the reports of professors of the institutions of learning.
The fruits of this work often rejoice our spirits. It is a matter of honest satisfaction and comfort to see names which have been familiar to us in our correspondence, now occurring in the public notices of the most useful and successful pastors and teachers, and home and foreign missionaries-;: men whose instructions God is honoring with revivals of religion, and

whose labors are distributing seed which is springing up in blessings to many a moral wilderness.
It is encouraging to the Board to observe the general advancement of the cause. Notwithstanding the peculiar depression of the past year, the receipts were still $6,074 above the average of those, including both branches of the Church, previous to the reunion. The largest of those averages, in the five years, 1865 to 1869, were $62,105. The entire receipts of this cause since the reunion Assembly of November, 1869, although it received only $1,942 from the large gifts to the Memorial Fund in 1870 and ’71, have averaged $85,295; which is an annual increase of $23,190, or above one-third (37 per cent.) more than those of the years before-mentioned. This growth indicates results which must go on to enlarge in proportion as the advancement of the work in its soundness and thoroughness becomes appreciated by those who desire and pray for the more rapid and wide spread of the Gospel through the labors of capable preachers of it.
It w'ould be specially gratifying if a year in the history of our nation which will complete its first century, and which will be celebrated with universal rejoicings and thanksgivings, could be signalized to this great interest of the Presbyterian Church and of religion, by contributions which would lift it to a more ‘elevated and permanent position of useful- ness and of influence for good.

RECENT INTELLIGENCE.
Death of the Rev. Asher Wright. — It is with great regret we have to record the death of Mr. Wright, of the Seneca Mission. This event took place on the 13th of April. He was in the seventy-second vear of his age. Great is the loss to the mission, and to the Indians, in the removal of this good and able missionary. See a more extended notice of him on another page.
Arrivals and Departures of Missionaries. — Miss Everett and Miss Fisher, of the Syria Mission, have arrived in this country — the for- mer on a visit for health, the latter not expecting to go back. The Rev. Hunter Corbett, of the Shantung Mission, has arrived on a visit, chiefly to make arrangements for his motherless children. The Rev. A. W. Loomis, D. D., and his wife, of the mission to the Chinese in California, are on a visit to the Eastern States. Dr. Loomis, is a. commissioner to the General Assembly. The Rev. M. N. Hutchinson, on his return, has arrived in Mexico, where he was very warmly welcomed. Mr. Joseph H. Reading and his wife, of Frenchtown, N. J., and Miss Susannah Dewsnap, of the First Church, Middletown, N. Y., embarked for the Gaboon and Corisco Mission on the 24th of April — special funds having been given for the purpose of sending them out; in Miss Dewsnap’s case, by the church of which she is a member.

“Added to the Church.” — Mr. Carrothers speaks of the members of his church in Yedo, as having increased in the last three months, from fifteen to forty-two. At Bangkok two, and at Petchaburi six new mem- bers were received. In Brazil two new members are reported as received b}r each of three missionaries, and four by the church of Rio Claro. In Mexico, Mr. Thomson mentions one hundred and seventy-one new com- municants as received at Zacatecas and the neighboring places during the year, and one hundred and twenty-eight children baptized. Mr. Ramsay refers to one person received by the Seminole church.
Licentiate; Candidates. — The Presbytery of Kolapore licensed a young Hindoo to preach the gospel. The Presbytery of Japan, in April, received under its care three more young men, as candidates for the ministry.
Average and Percentage. — The receipts of the last year from the churches and individual donors, legacies not included, were, $396,662.74, being a little over eighty cents on the average to each communicant as reported in the Minutes of the General Assembly for 1874. The receipts from all sources were $456,718.01. The salaries of the secretaries and treasurer — the same as mentioned in the Record of June 1874 — make three and a fifth per cent, of the aggregate sum received by the treasury. The percentage is nearly five for all executive expenses except printing.
Letters received to May 13th. — From Cattaraugus, Seneca, April 17th ; Omaha, April 14th ; Creek, May 4th ; Seminole, May 1st ; Nez Perce, April 19th; San Francisco, April 6th; Yokohama, April 8th; Yedo, April 8th; Tungchow, March 1st; Chefoo, March 17th; Shanghai, March 15th; Soochow, March 12th; Hangchow, February 23d; Bangkok, March 17th; Petchaburi, February 2d; Etawah, March 27th; Roorkhee, March 15th; Lodiana, March, 13th; Lahor, March 2d; Rawal Pindi, March 3d; Kolapore, March 6th; Oroomiah, March 6th; Tabriz, February 16th; Beirut, April 7th ; Tripoli, March 30th ; Monrovia, February 25th ; Gaboon, February 13th; Rio de Janeiro, March 24th; Rio Claro, March 17th; Bahia, March 29th; Santiago, March 16th; Bogota, April 17th; Mexico, March ; Zacatecas, March 22d.
REGRET-GRATITUDE— HOPE.
Our mission year ended on the 1st of May with a debt of $38,283.00. This we sincerely regret. We can never look on a debt in this’ work with any feeling but that of sorrow.
Yet this debt is so much less than was expected until near the end of the year, that it is with no little relief we see it to be what it is. And when we think of the severe financial pressure on the business of the country during the whole of last year, and remember the truly noble examples of liberal giving which the Lord has witnessed “ as he beheld how the people cast money into the treasury,” we feel deeply grateful for the grace given to them. It is a token of good to this cause that its friends have sustained it so well in this trying year.

We cannot but feel hopeful, as to the work before us. It is evidently a growing work, not one standing still, not at all retrograding. It never had greater proofs of the blessing of God than during the last year, so far as man can judge. We humbly think no Church is called to engage in evangelistic labors in more important or more hopeful fields. The Annual Report, to be published with the sanction of the General Assem- bly, will be regarded, we are confident, as one calling for devout thanks to God. It will be regarded also, unless we greatly misjudge, as showing abundant reason for going forward.
We may be allowed to add, that we do not wish to see any special appeal made for paying off the debt. Special appeals are usually embar- rassing to all our church-work. What is needed for our missions is a deeper current of love and duty to Christ, and of compassion for souls perishing without the light of the gospel. This will call forth prayer, consecrated gifts, earnest endeavors to make known to all men the name that is above every name. And then let our Missionary Board make the best use it can of such sacred funds as the people of God may entrust to it, for the support and enlargement of these missions.
REV. ASHER WRIGHT.
As stated elsewhere, the Church has been called to mourn over the departure from this life of Mr. Wright, of the Seneca Mission, the oldest missionary of thq Board, and certainly one of the ablest and most devoted laborers in its service. A brief sketch of his life will be found in the Foreign Missionary. Here we insert a part of a letter written by him, January 22, 1874, in response to a paragraph in a little publication of the Board for the use of missionaries, viz. “ Each missionary is requested to prepare, also, a personal narrative of his labors during the year, with any statement of his own views of the missionary work, and of the Lord’s dealings with himself, which he may think proper to give; this narrative, in the form of a letter, if he choose, to be forwarded to the Board early in J anuary.” This paragraph is intended to promote sympathetic intercourse between the missionaries and the Board, and to confer on the latter the benefit of informal, but yet often important information, and thoughtful counsel. It has been of great service, in some instances, and of mutual benefit. This suggestion was kindly received by our venerable father Wright, who sent us the touching narrative, which we take a mournful pleasure in now sending to the press. He first referred to the non-public character of what he was about to write ; but since his departure, his letter may properly be given to our readers.
“ I write in haste, and poorly, but with the freedom of one who feels sure of friendly sympathy in everything relating to the work, whether hopeful or discouraging.
“I am ashamed to say, that, after more than fifty years of Christian profession, my greatest trouble — my greatest hindrance in the missionary work, is in my own heart. It makes me groan to look back from this, the forty -third year of service among these Indians, and see how little I have

accomplished. It humbles me exceedingly to think that God should have let me live to be the oldest missionary of the Board, while many, perhaps in a single year, have drawn more souls to the blessed Master, than I in my whole lifetime. I praise the Lord for sparing me, but mourn that so little gain has come of it to his kingdom. Less than the least of all saints — perhaps worse than the worst of them all — to me has this grace been given to preach among these gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: but I have done it so imperfectly, and with so little heart, that the mass of them have been little moved, and to the present time remain, if not ignorant of the glad tidings, at least unconverted.
“ But I suppose you wish a retrospect of the labors of the year. So far as effort merely is concerned, it has been one of the most laborious of my missionary life. Except in a single instance, I believe, I have sup- plied the pulpit regularly while brother Ford has been absent at Tusca- rora and Tonawanda, and have been enabled to do at least my full share of the occasional preaching, attending funerals, &c. During the last win- ter the work of preparing copy, and correcting proofs was carried to the end of the Gospel of Luke, when my health had become so much impaired that a rest from that sort of labor seemed necessary; and from a variety of causes, chiefly, however, the great amount of medical business occupy- ing my time, it was not resumed till near the close of the year. The Gos- pel of J ohn has proved by far the most difficult of anything we have yet undertaken to render into Seneca. Its fulness of spiritual meaning, and the dearth of corresponding terms in Seneca, render it almost impossible to bring it within the comprehension of the Indian mind ; while the infi- nite importance of the truths peculiar to this Gospel enhances the necessity of clear and accurate interpretation. The responsibility weighs heavily upon me. Pray for me, that grace may be given me to meet it, to the glory of the Master, the salvation of souls, and the quickening and strength- ening of believers.
“I spoke of extra medical business. Last spring the physician at Versailles left the place. His successor remained at Versailles but a few weeks. A very skilful physician on the opposite side of the Reservation, who had done a large amount of business among the Indians, removed to Illinois about midsummer. These things made it imperative on me to resume to a great extent the medical labors which I had been endeavoring to throw off ; and an unusual amount of sickness, and, in particular an epi- demic erysipelas, not yet entirely gone by, together with my own infirmi- ties, have rendered these labors very burdensome. They have been a heavy pecuniary burden, also, as a large share of the patients have be- longed to the class least able to pay for medicines. We have abundant cause for gratitude that, notwithstanding the great amount of sickness, the number of deaths has been even less than the usual rate of mortality.
uMy wife’s health has been poor, but she has been able to keep up her Sabbath-school in the neighborhood across the Creek, and a weekly indus- trial school among the pagan women at Newtown, in which she spent an hour or two in communicating religious instruction. She has also had more or less to do with the Ladies’ Sewing Circles among the professedly Christian portion of the people; and has done something in the way of family visiting. So far as we can judge, all these various labors seem to accomplish some good. In some instances prejudices are removed, and hard hearts brought to exhibit signs of feeling: but we groan because the conversions are so few, — only here and there one at the most, — while our yearning hearts long to see them flocking to the Saviour. We are old and sick — we must die soon, — we long to see them gathered to Christ before we die. Will you not help us, and get other Christian brethren to

help us with earnest prayer, that a cloud of mercy may settle down upon us, and all this people be brought into the kingdom. We see some tokens of interest. But floods and storms have greatly interfered with the pro- gress of our meetings. He who sends them can nevertheless overrule them for his glory. Our help is in him. Help us to obtain his help.
“In regard to the general aspects of the field, brother Ford will give the statistics of the church, &c. The past year has been one of no very marked features in respect to general work. Our Baptist and Methodist brethren have hardly kept up their usual interest. Their average attend- ance, so far as I can learn, has been small. Perhaps ours has been more nearly up to the usual standard. Perhaps, indeed, taking everything into the account, it has been better than usual. Sometimes there has been solemnity almost bordering upon a revival, but thus far it has not passed that point. Perhaps at the present moment it is as near it as at any time during the year.
“The progress of temperance, though slow, will compare favorably with previous years. In this part of the Reservation I think there has been less drunkenness than in any previous year since the Upper Station was established, and I am not sure, but the same thing is true of the whole Reservation.
“The schools have had their usual measure of prosperity; but being supported by the State, the religious element is less than it should be in the teaching. The Orphan Asylum is in a flourishing condition, averag- ing one hundred children under care. One boy, retained till he was nearly seventeen years old, has recently made a public- profession of religion. Hopes are entertained for a few others, but they have not yet offered themselves for church membership.
“ The year was one of abundant blessing upon the labors of the husband- man, and notwithstanding the panic, and hard times following, I do not think our poor have suffered thus far more than usual ; and though money is hard to be obtained, there is, it seems to me, more readiness than for- merly to contribute to benevolent and religious objects. Not, by any means, that the church does all it should in this respect; but there is encouragement in every little advance towards a higher standard.”
Mr. Wright next reviews “the political status” of the Senecas — giving information and expressing views of matters that are now somewhat changed, so that we need not insert them here. His opinions, always carefully formed and modestly expressed, carried great weight. He was no common man, and his Christian course was that of no ordinary mission- ary; but he rests from his labors and his works do follow him. We are grateful for his long and useful life, for his peaceful death, for his noble example, and for the assured hope that he has entered into the saints’ ever- lasting rest.
BENITA SCHOOL AND WORK.
Miss Nassau sends the following brief, but clear and interesting account of missionary work by Miss Jones and herself, at Benita, West Africa.
“This station was reoccupied by Miss Nassau on the 24th of March, 1874. Following the permission of the Board to organize a Girls’ School, and erect a suitable building adjoining the bamboo house already there, work was at that time begun. The close of the year did not find the house completed, — but the promise of as many pupils as we shall be able, under reduced appropriations, to receive, and greater interest of the people

in a Girls’ School, encourage us in believing that nothing has been lost by the delay.
“With the reoccupancy of Bolondo, ten young men, former pupils, resumed their studies, and with one exception have continued them, with little, and that unavoidable, interruption. Of these young men, five are under care of Presbytery, as candidates for the ministry. Four hours a day are spent in study; the remaining are given to the necessary manual labor of the station ; one of the young men acts as teacher in the Benga day-school, and all are frequently employed in the itinerating work from town to town, and always are welcomed.
“In August of 1814, when Miss L. S. Jones was transferred from Gaboon to Benita, a systematic work was commenced for the instruction of women, orally or otherwise, in the Scriptures and Catechism, engaging them twice a week in meetings, teaching them also useful arts. In this part of our work, small as the beginning is, we see only encouragement. One woman gives precious evidence of true conversion.
“Here and there, among the people are indications of interest and awakening, but our great and soul-pressing want is the life-giving and enlightening influences of the Holy Spirit.”
BOARD OF PUBLICATION.
THE PRESBYTERIAN HYMNAL.
REVISED EDITIONS.
The rapidity with which the Presbyterian Hymnal has been adopted and purchased is, we believe, without a parallel in the history of hymn and tune books. In a little more than eight months one hundred thousand copies have gone into circulation. The criticisms by which it was so sharply assailed on its first appearance did not at all affect the integrity of the book, but were all considered by the Committee, and aided in amend- ing minor defects. To give it more entire completeness, especially for pastors, the Board of Publication has enlarged and perfected its system of Indexes.
Thus in the large book, with music, (8vo), there are now given: Index of First Lines, Index of First Lines of Chants, Index of Psalms by First Lines, Index of Scripture Texts, Index of Subjects, Metrical Index, and Index of Tunes. There have also been added the Presbyterian Form of Government, Book of Discipline, Directory for Worship, Rules for Judi- catories, Shorter Catechism, Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments, and Apostles’ Creed.
In the smaller book, with music, (square 12mo), are: Index of First Lines, Index of First Lines of Chants, Index of Psalms by First Lines, Index of Scripture Texts, Index of Subjects, Metrical Index, and Index of Tunes.
In the larger book, without music, (16mo), are: Index of First Lines, Index of Chants, Index of First Lines of Psalms, Index of Scripture Texts, and Index of Subjects.
In the small book, without music, (18mo), are given: Index of First

Lines, Index of Chants, Index of First Lines of Psalms, Shorter Cate- chism, Ten Commandments, Lord’s Prayer, and Creed.
Whilst the Hymnal contains among its two hundred or more versions of the Psalms a number of those used by the United Presbyterians and other Psalm-singing Churches, it has been found that there is a desire in some parts of the Church for an edition with the old versions of the Psalms in full. The Board will, therefore, furnish to any churches who wish it, editions of the Hymnal with the whole of the so-called “ Rouse’s version” of the Psalms, together with the Paraphrases approved by the Kirk of Scotland, at a small advance upon the price.
BOOKS JUST PUBLISHED.
The Dawn of Light; a Story of the Zenana Mission. By Mary E. Leslie. 18mo. Three Illustrations. Price 65 cents.
This life-like picture of Christian effort in the Hindoo home is drawn by a voluntary laborer in mission work in Bengal.. Her personal contact with respectable Bengalee families has enabled her to depict with truth the habits and wants of Hindoo ladies. The characters of her tale are veritable personages, though all the incidents associated with them may not have befallen them. But as types of Hindoo society they are not creatures of the imagination. They truly represent millions of our fellow- men in India. The tale, whilst most attractive to the ordinary reader, will have a special charm for tho^e who are interested in “Woman’s work for woman.”
The Peddler of La Grave. By Martha Farquharson, author of “ Allen’s Fault,” “Rufus, the Unready,” &c., &c. 18mo. Three Illustrations.
Price 55 cents.
This true tale of three hundred years ago, has its scene in a valley of the Cottian Alps. It traces the history of a Waldensian family, the arrest of the father, his martyrdom, and the flight of his bereaved family to Geneva. Let it be read, that we may know the sorrows of God’s saints, and imitate their fidelity to the truth, if spared their sufferings.
The History of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. By the Rev. E. H. Giilett, D.D., author of “ Life and Times of John Huss,” “God in Human Thought,” &c., &c. Revised Edition. Two volumes. 12mo: Price $5.00.
This history of the Presbyterian Church was prepared by the author in 1864, and published by the Presbyterian Publication Committee. It was recognized by all branches of the Presbyterian family as a work of unusual fidelity, research and merit, and received the warm commendations of their scholars and periodicals. It was not to be expected, however,' that two volumes of near six hundred pages each, traversing times of strife and separation, even wLen written by one animated by the true historian’s love of truth, should not contain expressions offensive to some members of the now happily united body. Nor was it to be presumed that errors in names, and in minor statements of fact, had not crept in.

Hence a revision of the work was resolved upon. Through the religious journals, a request was widely circulated for errata , to which very valu- able responses were made; and the Rev. Alexander T. McGill, D.D., of Princeton, kindly gave the volumes a thorough reading for the purpose of noting anything that might need omission or modification.
So far as most of the statements of facts are concerned, very little change was required, but what before was asserted without qualification, as to the relation and action of the two parties in times of controversy and divi- sion, has been so modified that the party by whom such assertion was regarded as historically true or just, is alone made responsible for it. In other words, the historian has allowed each party to speak for itself, repre- senting its own views, while the reader is left at liberty to draw his own conclusions. No other course than this was possible in the circumstances. The position and sentiments of each branch of the Church have become historical, and to exclude or ignore them would have betrayed at once an unworthy timidity and distrust of the solid basis of reunion, and a faith- lessness to the claims which demand an impartial statement of all the facts material to a proper historic record.
Moreover, the history of a denomination, like that of a State, has its lessons ; and, if lessons of warning against dangers which are liable to recur, they can be gathered only from the study of many things which, if truth would sulfer it, we might prefer to leave unrecorded. If good men, and even wise men, have erred, their errors may prove only less instructive than their virtues; and while we jealously vindicate their just fame and their conceded merits, we are not at liberty to conceal their failings, when these must be known in order to form an impartial judgment of events in which many others besides themselves were equally interested.
In a note to the Board of Publication, Dr. McGill says :
“At the request of Dr. Dulles, on behalf of the Board of Publication, as well as of Dr. Gillett, the author, I read over carefully the volumes of this History, with a view to suggest alterations which the late reunion has made proper. It is a pleasure to state that both these brethren, the author and the editor, have manifested the utmost readiness to expunge anything like a partisan tinge, and to render the work unexceptionable to the whole Church. Of course it could not be re-edited without a sub- stantial identification with the original imprint. We could not consist- ently wish it to be otherwise, and retain the truth of history as it lies in the mind of the author. But I am happy to testify that candor, amity and a truth-loving heart have conceded everything that ‘Old School’ men could reasonably ask in this revision.”
These volumes are now sent forth anew, with the hope that Presby- terians will acquaint themselves with the grand heritage of history into which they have entered. At this historic era, there is offered to them a work which, in 1791, was referred by the General Assembly to a com- mittee of which Dr. John Witherspoon was chairman, but which it was left for other hands and other years to accomplish.

BOARD OF CHURCH ERECTION.
[June
BOARD OF CHURCH ERECTION.
The following statement is made, to prevent misapprehension and mis- take on the part of those who desire and need the assistance of this Board in the work of Church Erection.
1st. The writing of a letter, by a minister, elder or trustee, expressing the desire of aid in the building of a house of worship, is by some consid- ered an application , and the writer wonders why the money is not sent by return of mail. On being informed of the intention of a church to build, and their need of help, we send them a blank form of application, to be filled up and signed by the Trustees, thus giving the Board the in- formation necessary to form an intelligent judgment of the case. This paper must then be sent either to Presbytery (if in session), or to the Presbytery’s Committee on Church Erection, for their endorsement, if they approve of the application; and if not, that they may make such alterations or comments as they may deem proper ; they should also designate some one as legal counsellor to examine and certify as to the validity of their title, &c.
When this paper, thus filled and signed, is returned, it will be duly considered and acted upon by the Board at their ensuing meeting, and the applicants promptly advised of said action. If the application be granted, either in whole or in part, it must be on condition that a mort- gage and insurance on the property be given by the Trustees of the Church. For this purpose a blank mortgage will be sent them from this office, together with a paper eliciting the information necessary to secure the insurance of the building (to the amount of the Board’s appropriation), which will be attended to here , by the Board.
When the building is completed, the mortgage, properly executed and recorded, is returned to us, with the certificate required of the Trustees, the appropriation of the Board will be paid, but not until then.
In some instances written application for aid is accompanied with a mortgage, written by the applicant, — thus forestalling the action of the Board, and rendering it necessary to have said mortgage released, before the regular mortgage prepared by order of the General Assembly can be recorded. Some applicants seem to think that the endorsement of Pres- bytery, is, per se, a guaranty for the payment of the amount asked, not seeming to suppose that the Board have any judgment to exercise in the case, or that there is any limit to the means at their disposal. Others seem to think that the rules and requirements of the Board are of their own making, and can be suspended at pleasure, in special cases, whereas these rules are either involved in our charter, or expressly laid down by the General Assembly in “the plan,” by which the Board mus.t be guided.
Occasionally the applications are returned in an imperfect state — many of the most important questions not answered, and others so indefinitely as to make it necessary tc return them to the applicants for correction, which causes delay and additional expense. Sometimes the Board is asked how much they can give to assist a feeble church, before the appli- cants have made the effort to see how much they can raise themselves on the ground ; and in other cases, they canvass the field at large and secure the annual collections of wealthier churches, and then come to the Board for as large a contribution as their rules will admit, to enable them to complete the building. Such efforts to secure a large amount of means, the Board cannot approve, and their appropriations will be greatly influenced by it. Impartiality must be shown to all, and none allowed an undue proportion of aid, to the disadvantage of others.
The prospect at present, for the year upon which we have entered, is

that this Board will be called upon by a larger number of needy churches than ever before. Our earnest desire to assist all, will require the strictest vigilance and economy on our part. Will not the stronger churches help us liberally ?

“He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed.”
“Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but

GREAT DESTITUTION RELIEVED.
Not long since, the following came to the office:
“ My dear Sir — It has been my duty as a missionary to visit ,
and I feel impelled, by a desire to do her good, to write to you, to state her present circumstances. She has been unable to obtain employment of any kind that she has the strength for, as she has not fully recovered her health, and she has exhausted all her means. For some weeks she has been in a condition of poverty so great as to be near starvation. I have done what I could to help her, and yet she has had to dispose of every thing she could, in order to supply herself with food. She is afraid to write to you, lest you should think she was intrusive, and she says you would send her the amount of her appropriation as soon as you could.
“ Such is the distressed state of her mind that she begins to wonder what the promise means : ‘ They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.7
“I hope you will excuse my thus troubling you, but if it were possible to send her a part, if not the whole of what is appropriated, it would be lifting a child of our Father out of a very deep pit of sorrow.”
A REMITTANCE WAS SENT, AND HERE IS THE REPLY.
“ I wonder if a $100 draft ever before made the tired heart of a poor mortal overflow with such earnest thanksgiving, as this just received from you has made mine. Thank you, oh so much! Thank you for your words of sympathy and hope ! Mr. R. has been very kind, indeed has saved me from despair — starvation perhaps. May Jesus bless you always and for ever!77
This case of extreme destitution ought to have a supply of an additional $100. Who will pity and relieve?
GRATITUDE FOR A REMITTANCE.
A poor widow, suffering from disease and acute pain, writes :
“Your remittance has been received to-day. It comes as a heavenly inspiration, — a Divine radiance, — a pillar of strength amid great weak- ness,— a telescope through which I discover green fields upon the other side of a rough sea; — and it bridges over a chasm of depressing solicitude. I cannot tell you all, but the Master understands.
“Kind friend, gratitude enshrines the Society you represent and the multitude of its generous donors in the hearts of thousands, who, but for such merciful aid, must suffer from the burden of want added to the weight of disease and infirmity, which can look for relief only in those glorified bodies of a higher life.77
Almost every day brings its earnest plea of sorrow and want. The treasury is therefore kept in an exhausted state. How gladly would the Committee respond at once to every application! Furnish the means, ye who can, and the blessing shall come down upon you from above. Ye know not when the day of want may come to you. “ Give, and it shall be given to you.77

GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S COMMITTEE ON FREEMEN.
SUMMARY FOR THE YEAR EXDIXG APRIL 1, 1875.
Financial. — Received from all sources during the year $50,981.75. Expended $56,266.89, leaving deficit in Treasury of $5,285.14, — the first debt contracted since reunion. Besides this amount, there is due on outstanding bills $2,517.53; entire indebtedness $7,802.67. This also leaves the Committee without the working balance, always found so necessary to supplement the short receipts of the summer months.
Missionaries. — Ministers 36; Catechists 27; Teachers 53; in all 116 Missionaries.
Churches. — Organized during the year, 8; whole number under care of Committee, 123. To these have been added on examination, 917; cer- tificate 176; whole number of communicants, 9,961; Sabbath-schools, 95; Sabbath-school scholars, 6,880.
Schools. — Parochial schools, 39 ; Pupils, 3,284. Seventeen schools report that within the last year, principally during vacation, 149 of their scholars have taught 427 months — over 35 years — their schools enrolling 5,425 scholars ; and that they received for their services, in cash and boarding, about $10,448: also that 39 of these, while thus engaged, superintended Sabbath-schools which enrolled 2400 scholars.
CONCORD MISSION, NORTH CAROLINA.
Our Missionary in this field, and Superintendent of Scotia Seminary, writes as follows :
“I have now sent you our Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Reports, and I send you this summary, which may be some slight help to you in your efforts to encourage the friends of these poor people, and to arouse our slumbering Church in regard to their condition and prospects. I wish that our works and success were manyfold what they are. But surely something encouraging has been done in all parts of our Synod. I only give this mission as a specimen.
“ Our churches have grown during these eight years and a half, from nothing to over five hundred members. They all have comfortable places of worship. Our parochial school in Concord has been kept up eight months of the year during this time; and now, eight or nine other schools are being sustained within our bounds, from two to four months in the year, taught almost entirely by Concord pupils. Xot less than 700 Xew Testaments have been given to those able to read them ; and about 80 Bibles have just been sold among them, and over 150 monthly papers have been paid for and read with eagerness, during the past year ; several weeklies also have been taken, and half a dozen of our boys are now in college, and some of them in earnest preparation for the ministry. Xow when we remember that not one in a hundred of these could read a word when our schools were commenced, we judge that our Mission has not been a, failure. Scotia Seminary is now in its fifth year, with a roll of 92 members, and having had abroad, during some part of the passing year, about fifty teachers, nearl}7- all professed Christians: these, with the Bible and the Catechisms, the sweet songs of the Church, and with daily prayers, have been working for God and the Church in many a dark place in this and the adjoining states. Thirty of these teachers, who are now enrolled in the Seminary, report 80 months of teaching done since last June, 1265 scholars taught, and $1,727 earned. Of thirteen others, not here at present, we have a report of 46 months taught, 474 pupils, and $992 earned during the present year. Many of these girls are real missionaries. Some of them have been taken

from families as far from Christ and from the refinements and morality of a Christian family, as many in Africa. But no one would suspect this from their conduct and conversation now. A venerable elder of the Southern church writes to us respecting one of the pupils
of last year, as follows : ‘ The manifest improvement I discover in F
S , during her attendance at Scotia, greatly encourages me in the
future of that Institution.’ We have many such encouraging words from different sources; and, what is above all, we always have some pleasing manifestations of the presence of the Holy Spirit. No term has passed without hopeful conversions in the school. Two have just united with the church and been baptized ; the mother of one of them being as far from God as people can well get in this life. Others are asking the special religious instructions of their teachers. Though we are much cut off from society, and often greatly need human sympathy and counsel, yet we deem it a great privilege to do a work so needful and so hopeful.
“Now you know how many applications for a place in the Seminary we have been obliged to refuse for want of room ; and at what a disadvan- tage we labor, with from six to sometimes a dozen in our small rooms. Cannot the friends of this people be induced to give us the means of enlargement, before many of them become discouraged and lose the aspi- rations to rise to that which is noble and good, and others turn for instruction to those whose religion has more form, but less power than that embodied in our precious Catechism and Confession of Faith?”
