On Friday morning, Chief Justice WiIisu,,

with prayer BY DIR. Hitchcock of Mass.
From the minutes of the Recording Secreta-
~ If appeared that about 300 corpora,. and
honorary members Of the Board were present.
IN connection with a crowded audience of
friends of Missions
gentleman in the house stated that il had
been whispered that Mr.. w ilson, the Mission
airy who spoke the previous evening wa a hols-
er Of slaves and he asked explanation.
DR.. Anderson replied promptly that he did not
mold slaves; and said. moreover. that the Sscr--
tariss and other officers Of the Society had every
possible disposition to exert themselves. 10 the
extent of their ability. 10 eradicate Slaver, as
well ~ every other evil and sin from the Mis-
SION churches: but, he said, they hoped for the
confidence Of their patrons in this matter, As in
every other, until there reason TO think The
confidence hal been abused. They could not
be expected or acquired, he thought, to secure
results as the effect fpurely moral means, with
out allowing reasonable time for their opera
tioa.
In behalf of the Committee on Funds Mr.
Billiard said that at least 1900 would be
needed this year, requiring an incress. Of forty
per cent To secure this all must be enlisted

bic dependence the Great Giver, To whom all
were accountable ltwas especially desirable that
sabbath School SuPerintendents should assidu-
ously inculcate practical benevolence.
After a fervent prayer by DIR. Taylor, of the
Reformed Dutch Church, Chancellor W alworth
said with earnestness that this proposal for in
crsasing the funds, at least forty per cent. was
vital to the successful progress Of the missions
DR.. Beecher Of Cincinnati, alluded feelinsIy to
the embarrassments of the Board, but saiG that
by the spirit that breathed over this meeting the
clouds had been dispersed, and he should 90
home rejoicing with thankfulness that the God
OF Missions had inspired him with new e~"s-
dcnce.
Judge Darling. Of Pennsylvania, said he was
ready to pledge himself TO do all in his power,
by efforts with others, well as by contribu-
tons, to aid this He forcibly urged the
necessity Of faithful, judiceus agents-said they
should address sabbath Schools as well as others
He would say, as layman, that Ministers would
be respected by all classes in proportion to i3eir
faithfulness in holding up the great objects of
benevolence; but the labor Of solicitation should
BY no means be left entirely to them. All were
responsible for influence.
Hon. Mr.. Terry Of Hartford, forcibly corro5e-
rated these remarks.
Hon L. Child Of Lowell, thought the church
Is were doing nothing for the great objects of
Missions compared with their ability. Though
Massachusetts, was foremost in sustaining the
Board, her contributor for the past wear, from
each of her $1,000 or 10000 church members
connected with il, did not exceed on an average
f,so cents a reek. What could be done might be
seen from the fact that single facfory girl in
this town had educated HISTORIAN boy, who is
now preacher.
DIR. Pomeroy urged that not church members
alone should be solicited. Others were equally
liberal when approached with respect and conf
dence.
