GENERAL MEErNG.-The general meeting of
the American missionaries hos Just closed This
annual gathering Of the missionaries is almost
the only event which diverts their minds from
| an uninterrupted series of labors among the native
population. At this meeting they spend few days in
reviewing the past and planning for the future Reports
are read and statements made in regard to every de-
parment of missionary business and labor 1t is Gus
tomary for most Of the missionaries to come accom-
panied by their wives and children. This affords
good opportunity for the families situated in the DIFF
ferent Islands to cultivate more intimate aoquaint-
ance and keep alive those social kindly and christian
feelings which happily exist among them. Ii was re-
Gently our privilege to the brethren and sisters
