Abstract Of the twenty-fourth Annual Report.
The number of different individuals aid
ed by the society since the last anniversa.
~ is as follows: 267 in 10 theological
seminaries 4S7 in % colleges; $50 in
81 academies amounting in all to Ola
individuals at l03 institutions. A LARGE
number who had previously enioyed the
patronage of The society, have not the past
year either solicited or received aid. The
reason Of this is, some have suspended
their studies for time, being engaged in
teaching school and others have received
large supplies from their friends or par.
ents. The bene6ciaries have understood
that 4 was particularly the will of the Di-
rectors, that none should apply for assist
ance, unless absolute and urgent necessity
required it. These individuals are still
connected with the society, and expect at
some future time, perhaps this present
year, again to request aid, and must re-
ceive it, or they will become disheartened
aud some Of them probably abandon their
favorite object of pursuit, the ministry of
Christ. These individuals are not en-
braced In the preceding estimate. Were
4they TO be added to the number, it would
probably be increased TO 100 or 1900
The Society has aided in the whole since
il commenced operations $500, large
proportion ofwhom have entered upon the
active duties Of the ministry
None have been dismissed from the pat.
ronsge OF the society to that of any other,
though a few have been received to our
patronage from the patronage of other So
cieties.
The whole receipts of the year, of the
Parent Society and its branches, omount
10 S5l, 1907 60, and the expenditures for
the same time have been S58, 67.-
This sum exceeds the receipts by $780,.
OF, which, added to the debt of the last
year, makes the present debt to be S32,-
1871.
The earnings of the benefciaries have
!, been much as usual, evincing commend.
able zeal in making efforts to sustain them
selves as far as practicable. The sum
earned as reported is S3l,o72. The
whole amount the last l3 years, is $780,
900.
The sum refunded by benefciaries the
last year is S4,7S4, which added to wha
had been refunded in previous wears
makes the total amount S39, 1O3. The
usual favor has been shown to those who
have asked according to the rules of the
Society to have their notes cancelled
The directors are always disposed to acl
in this respect on liberal principles. Such
have been the operations of the Society
the year which has just elapsed.

important Baptist Body, we have not been
favored, except that an address, for the

adopted; also an address for the northern
churches; and that three persons were an.
pointed TO attend the g Worlds Conyen-

From the persons who seem to have fig-

respectable Baplists were rather scarce on
ihe occasion. Ii our worthy friends will
take the advice of one who oughtto know
they will stay at home, and attend to their
own concerns. We think we can assure
them, that the people at the south are not
at present. in mood to derive benefit from
their interference, let it assume whatever
form it may. Hihey have time or money
to throw away, we would recommend that
both should be employed for the benefit of

Out-numbered, but not defeated-beaten,

true. The Wings went into this election,
without due preparation, and under every
possible disadvantage. They did not err

greatly to multiply the facilities for double
