 P. S. It is not now known what number of the Creeks will emigrate this year. But, from the best information received, it is con- fidently expected that large emigration will take place--not less than five thousand The greater portion ofwhich will, inall prob ability, remove early the coming spring. Over five hundred of the above tribe are now on the way, and will reach their new country early in February next, 1856. J. $.

EXTRACTS,

From The trenty second Annual Report,
ofthe Baptist Board Of Foreign MIS-
SiOnS.
The events Of another y ear renewediy ad-
monish us to do with our might the work
committed to our charge. The Rev. John
s. Wilson, of Kentucky, one of the Vice
Presidents Of the Board, was called from
his labors on earth, soon after the meeting
Of the Convention. Death has also visited
several Of our missionary stations, and re-
moved from the scenes Of their tolls and
sacrifices, by an early reward, the Rev. Sam
uel Aldrich, Of the Western Cherokee mis-
sion, Mrs Elizabeth Mylne, Of the mission
TO Liberia, Mrs Matilda C.. Dean, of the
Chinese mission, and the native assistants
in Burmah, Taunah, Koon boot, and KO
Sanlone. Other stations and missionaries
have endured severe trials from prosecutions
sickness, and bereavement. The Board are
deeply sensible to the appeals which these
affections Of their missionaries make TO their
Christian sympathIes, as those who suffer
with them, and remember them increasingly
in their prayers. They also rejoice with
them in the grace Of God alleviating their
sorrows, renewing their strength, and pros
perng the work Of their hands.
In reviewing the operations Of the Board
during the year, we shall follow essentially
the order adopted in our last Annual Report,
beginning with the
MISSIONS IN NORTH AMERICA.

have been led, with greater importantly,
to apply to Him whose strength is made
perfect in weakness. We trust it has led
US, also, to lay hold, with increasing faith.
on the promises of God in relation to the
prayers and efforts of His children. We
have felt that it was sweet to bring, in the
aims ofprayer and faith, our little ones to
the merty-seat, believing the Savior
equally wiling to bless them, as, when
On earth, He took little children in His
arms for that purpose, AS yet, our pray
ers have not been fully answered; but we
trust in Him who has never said unto the
seed of Jacob, "Seek ye ME in vain."-
Though the blessing tarry, we will wait
for it; for we believe
" Though seed lie buried long in dust,
1t sha'n't deceive our hope;
The precious grain ne'er be lost,
For grace insures the CROP
But God has not left himself without wit
ness, in that we have been permitted to re-
IJoice, with one Of our members, in the
hopeful conversion of her son while ab-
sent at school. Realizing the value of an
immortal soul, though but imperfectly,
we feel, that, if not one more should be
converted to God, our efforts will not have
been in vain; and we shall have reason
through eternity to rejoice in the forma,
ton of this Association. Yet, trusting in
the goodness Of God, we will believe this
is but the commencement OF good things
and that we shall be permitted to rejoice
over many more Of our dear children,
brought into the fold Of Christ Let us
my dear sisters, be encouraged to increas
ed activity in this blessed work-to Labor
more diligently, ear y to impress thel
minds with divine truth-and to pray
more terventIy for the blessing Of God tc
crown our feeble efforts Then, at ou1
next anniversary may we have occasion
to mention many, whose faith and repent
ance shall evince that their names are
written in the Lambs book oflife.

Should the editor ofthe Mothers Journ-
al deem the following report worthy a
place in it's pages, we shall be happy to see
it there, hoping it will be d means of en-
couraging other mothers to unite in form
ing similar associations.
With our first anniversary, it seems our
duty as we'll as our privilege, in view of
the goodness Of God towards us, TO present
unto Him the offering Of grateful hearts.
One year has now elapsed, since, with
some realizing sense Of the responsibility
resting upon us as mothers, we united
together in this Association, for the pur-
pose ofasssting each other, if possible, in
the discharge Of duties so arduous. The
society, of course, as yet, is but in its i'll
fancy, and the materials for a report must
necessarily be limited. Still, to the praise
of His name who is pleased to bless the
feeble efforts of His children, be it said
we have succeeded beyond our most san
gune expectations. The Lord has beer
better to US than our fears. Our Associa
ton, though small in number at its com
mencement, has gradually increased, anc
we have by this been encouraged to perse
we're. Another circumstance, Of still
greater joy, has presented itself, in an in
crease Of interest and anxiety manifested
by our members, as we have met from
time to time, and conferred on subjects re
, lating to the welfare of those committed t.

ga FATAL MISTAKE"

A prevalent error of the day is, that the
power of church depends on the number Of
its members. Too little regard is had to the
character of these members. This is ia
tai mistake. A church exerts wholesome
influence, how? BY its numerical force
its money-its responsibility popularity?
No! but by the amount of pure christian
truth actually exemplifed. God works not
by worldly influences. He will reward no
church with success, that seeks alliance
with the world, that would swell its num-
bers by counting popular favor, that would
preserve its union by countenancing sin, that
would secure its peace by concessions to sin
full preiueices, that, In word, glories in its
size with little reference 10 purity; in its
union, without considering, on what sinful
concessions it may stand; in its peace, with
out inquiring whether it may not result from
backwardness in maintaining and promulg-
ing the truth entire.
1t should, undoubtedly, be the motto of
every church, "God forbid that should glo-
Christ" Suppose any church should act
which was spoken by our Savior, ''in the
! world ye shall have tribulation, but in me
We shall have pedce?" Should we not then
understand more clearly the truth OF that
saying, 'for they that live godIy in Christ
Jesus shall suffer persecution2" Who is it,
, that now suffers persecution? Is it that
christian, who fashions himself according
to the maxims of a world lying in wicked
ness, and who is never more shocked, than
when he has unwittingly preached an opin-
ion or done an action, which popular opinion
denounces2 No! the world will love its
own, What church now suffers persecu-
tion-has its name now cast out as evil?-
Is 1t that church which has brought itself in
obedience to the maxims of state policy,
asking first what will extend its borders,
multiply its temples, enlarge its assemblies,
gain favor with the populace2 Is it the
church, that most scrupulously abs,ains
from the examination or avowal of any doc
trInes which might make it of no reputation,
offend its congregations, lessen its receiptsl
by no means; it has its reward. 1t has
sought the friendship of the world, and the
world will not hate it, Philanthrop1st.

Father of all men, and, of equal and Impair
tial love TO all his offspring, without respect
of persons.
The promotion of pure and undefied
religion as defined by the apostle James,
we propose as the beginning and the ending,
the means and the the object of Our labors.
Men will never walk humbly with Cod
while they walk arrogantly towards man.
IF man love not his brother whom he
hath seen, how can he love God, whom
he hath not seen?' When the solemnity of
mans inalienable rights are daily appreciat-
ed, then, and not until then, will men begin
to conceive the nature and magnitude of
HIS claims, in whose sight the nations of
the earth are as the small dust of the
balance.
Our abors therefore will not lie confined
to the subject of SLAVERY. INTEMPER-
ANCE, GAMING AND Wan are giant enemies
of our race, closely allied to slavery and
demanding the ceaseless opposition of the
Friend Of Man. Violence will Cypress
men, so long as men avenge themselves by
violence. The dishonesty that covets
wealth without earning it, and seeks gain
without an equivalent, is the same principle
that fattens upon the unrequited labor of
of the slave. And so long as our rulers
| drink wine, and our princes strong drink
so long will they forget the law, and per-
vert the judgment of the afflicted There
is no escape from slavery, but by the free
dom of virtue--no charter ofhuman liberty,
but the law of the Creator.
THE FRIEND OF MAN. by seeking to-
cultivate and extend the religion of holy
love and Of the Bible, may hope, in some
good measure, to escape the trammels of
narrow bigotry; avoiding at the same time,
the spurious liberality that deems it heaven
! y charity to shake hands with sin. BY
supporting the principles of liberty and the
practices of righteousness-by rebuking
lordly inquity in high places-by thwarting
the selfish purposes of partizan rivals Of
every name, we may hope to escape the
polluting infection of party politics, and
| while seeking to secure the liberties of the
people) afford some guarantee that we will
not become the tools Of demagogues or of
men in power.
Our departments of religious and secular
intelligence and miscellaneous reading Sc
! lections, will receive constant attention, and
vary in extent, from time to time, according
to the amount of interesting matter ahoat,
and according to the wants and eXigencies
of the great cause in which we chiefly
labor.
