No observation was made, and they pro,

of it the waiter came, and tapping the
gentleman on the shoulder, told him he
was wanted in the hall. On entering

whose object is to spread the gospel Of
salvation through the earlh.-It is a
pleasing reflection that all such opera
tons are directed to the same important
oblects-the amelioration of the condi-
ton, and the salvation of the souls of the
whole human family. But they desire
to ask the christian public in this state
the friends of Christ and of souls-can-
not the operations of the Missionary So
ciety of Connecticut be increased Its
system of measures is well digested, and
has been tested by the experience OF
more than twenty years; and its results,
from year TO year, have been faithfully
detailed. Cannot the treasury of the
society be more abundantly replenish-
ed Cannot its disposable funds be
greatly enlarged ? Cannot the society be
furnished with more ample means TO aid,
far beyond what it has yet done, in the
great work of converting the wilderness
into fruitful field and causing the de-
sart to become as the garden of God ?
The trustees presume not to give an
answer 10 these questions: but they
cheerfully submit them. to the serious
consideration Of the pious and beneyo-
lent, who do not forget, that it is more
blessed to give than TO receiver" and
who remember that, abe who convert
eth from the error of his way, shall save
soul from death, and hide multitude
of sins

Remarks.-The little state of Con-
necticut, which contains only 1914
square miles, and which is. not dlstin-
guished for the wealth of its inhabitants,
actually sends missionaries into differ
ent states in the Union. The writer is
not native of Connecticut, nor do his
friends live there, but he does admire
this liberal, expansive, godlike spirit OF
christian benevolence. And he is happy
to believe, that similar spirit is rapid
ly diffusing itself over our beloved coun-
try, and over the world.

"Devoted to some individual or faction,
they seem to forget that they are the guar

our minds to slumber in undsturbed apathy,
and our liberties to be destroyed by unre-
