and that the liabilities of the society for
the same year were SlO7,O85 80. Oi
their liabilities, S95,899 So have been

The report of the executive committee
was read by Rev. Milton Badger, one OF
the secretaries for correspondence. In
this report it was stated that,
"rhe cause of temperance, in conLex.
ion with the labors Of the missionaries,
has made advances, during the year, that
have no parallel In the history of the So,
cietys operations. ~
Not less than $4,000 souls are pledg-
ed to entire abstinence from every thing
that can iHoXicate, In the communities
which have been blessed by the labors OIL
the missionaries.
Seldom has it been our privilege 20
speak of larger number of revivals, 10
connection with the missionary stations,
and those of more interest and power than
have been enjoyed the past year, especial
ly in the last half year. Many Of these
REVEALS are still in progress. and the re-
results cannot be told. In 100 congrega,
tons, however, we are able to say, that
God either is or has been, during the pasl
year, specially present; and the number
of hopeful conversions, reported by 22s
missionaries, is 3,0IS.
The number added to the churches or
profession Of their faith, is not far from
SAG; by letters from other churches, g..
060-in all, 5,514, which exceeds the
number added the last year by 1876.
| The whole number of missionaries in
commission during the year is 79l, being
l0i more than were in the service of the
society the preceding year, and five more
than the largest number which the society
has ever before had in commission on the
American field, in any one year since it:

/ Ofthe missionaries reported, 548 were

and 243 have been since appointed.
The locations Of the missionaries are il
