In these days when the men Of the world
are girding on their armor to fight Cypress
ion and crlme,.i is wellknown fact that
protesting christians are standing aloof from
the holy enterprise. Where is the church,
in these times when thrones are falling, and
nations are waking, and lords are trembling

tall heads 10 dust, the church is dumb
The pillows Of intemperance are still beat
inc against her very walls, and sometimes
its fiery waves dash in, and sweep over her
consecrated affairs. Where are the watch

10 call together the sacramental host; that
every knee would bow along her polluted

Missionary Rooms in Boston, have made

details of expense, and are unanimously
of opinion that there is no point where
sound economy would admit of a reduce
tion." This Report was also sustained
by oral remarks from individuals Of the
Committee belonging to different and dis
tant sections of the country, particularly in
justification of "the salaries of the Secre-
taries." .-.
To the above brief statement, though of
itself sufficient to satisfy every considerable
contributor, it may not be inappropriate
to subjoin the following facts: that the
salaries of the secretaries" are less By
one fourth than the salaries of the secreta-
ries of similar institution in the immedi-
ate vicinity, and less By one third than the
average of the salaries of Baptist ministers
with whom they are in daily intercourse,
whose necessary expenditures of living
are essentially the same as theirs, and of
whom no one, it is believed, is growing
rich and that to counterbalance this com
para,ively low rate OF their salaries the
Secretaries have each contributed to their
own support, from the time of entering
into the service ofthe Board 10 the present

of ot-less than two hundred dollars, and
more frequently of from four hundred tc

Licentiousness is digging her graves, and
heaping in the lovely and the young by
thousands, till scarce village butts clothed
in weeds Of mourning.
Slavery, at this very hour, is crushing be-
meath his iron heel the bodies and the souls
of three millions of human beings within
our borders! The iron of despolism is driy-
en- down deep into the very heart Of society,
sundering the dearest ties of love, and plum
dering the soul of its immortal hopes
Their wailings, like the sound of many wa
tiers. are heard among the temples of God,
but the ear of the church is deaf. Sinners,
OF every class, are filing up their poisonous
cup of sin and drinking it and passing away
in their madness to the Judgment. The
vast world of heather are crying out, by
their degradation and wo, for the word OF
! life. And yet the church is gathering her
riches from the four quarters of the globe,
and rioting upon the spoils Of the poor, and
living in luxury, in the midst of pining want
Among her numbers are found the sternes,
champions of oppression among her num-
bers are found the oppressors themselves
who daily rob the poor, and send the soul
away furnishing for the bread of life. This
is why the heavens over her are brass, AMI
its windows closed. ...-.

church her consecrated faaes, her prayer
haliowed affairs, spotted though they be with
blood! Tear not the sanctuary down, Blu

LETTER FROM BROTHER BALDWIN.

Brother Murray Il thought it might be
gratifying to the friends of religion, to hear
of its prosperity in any part of our State.
Since the sitting of the Convention |
have attended five protracted meetings. In
each of these meetings there have been
hopeful conversions. The first that l at
tended was at West Chelsea. There the
cause of religion was very low; but the
Spirit was poured out, backsliders were re-
claimed and sinners converted. Ialso spent
about two weeks in Roxbury, where trust

Gently closed meeting at Braintree. There
is small Baptist church here in rather a
low state, but the meeting was interesting.
The people left their business and attended
the meeting we'll for two weeks, day and
night, and we enjoyed good revival.
The meetings that have named were in
the Barre Association. Many of the church,
es in this Association are feeble, principally
for the want of pastoral labor. Many oil
them hire their preaching by the day, and
do not have more than one days preaching
in month. There are some few churches
in this Association which have settled pas
tors, and these are prospecting well. l hope
the other churches will feel the importance

lambs of Christ. have attended meet.
