FOREIGN MISSION TREASURY.

BY the February number OF the Bap.
list Magazine, it will be seen that the
receipts into the Treasury were only
Sl356. As reported in the Jan. num-
Der, they were about $1,000, so it seems
they are on the decline, Notwithstanding
the urgent appeal from the Board in Dec.
By a letter from the Executive Com
miltee of the Baptist Convention of the
State of Georgia, 10 the Board of Missions
at Boston, dated Jan. 7lh.' and published
in the Christian Index, a leading Baptist
paper in Georgia, we learn that southern
Baptists intend 10 retain their own money
until some Of the officers can be removed,
BY whom, they say, their christian char
acter has been traduced. 1t matters little
with them whether the Board have insult
ed them in their official or individual
capacity. Their greatest complaint seems
10 be, that members of the Board attended
an Anti-Slavery meeting, at the close of
the Boston Association, and, as they sup
pose, concurred in some offensive resoIu.
tions passed there. Aid so their mission
aries, toiling in foreign field, must be
content with the scanty pittance which
the North can deal out, or retire from the
scene of their labors; and the Board must
be Strengthened and crippled in their en-.
lerprize, until the A prI meeting at BaI,i.
+. more shall restore christian confidence
by ousting from his office. E!on Galusha
