The report in alluding 10 the missionary field, wh'
is OF en- to the society says that no man can object to
is X. IT or restitution, for il spreads over territory
of eight hundred and forty four thousard ole hun
ded ard torty-Cour square miles and embraces popu-
at'on of nine millions six hundred and SIXTY taree
tIou.ard nine bur bred AID ninety-seven Immortal
sous Nor can any man reasonably OBJECT TO me lacA
of yied in thai fed. Muld'udes OF lrso German ana
Other foreign popuato at the north, are entirely shu'
off from the vision AID the voice OF the gospei.
Masses of the home 20 pua ion of the North also are
blinded az sinst the light Of revelation by prevalent
host of iDfde isms. The gospel does not encounter
these binGrarces at the South. In four demo nlns-
tlors for the i've Yeas from $50 10 1884 the amount
Of preaching at the North was thirty three sand
four hundred and thirty SIX years, and the reported
conversions one hundred and sxty.three Thousand
five hundred ard fifty three; e. the South, amount of
preceding, twenty four thousand nine hundred ana
eighteen years-abOut one Durth less-reported addl-
tons, two hundred and fourteen Thousand nl1e
hundred and eighteen about one fourth more. The
report concludes with energetic exhor alton to To-
creased donstiors, establishment at the section
course of the Home Missionary society," and an invo.
cation of the Divine blessing.
The Rev. Mr.. CoMsTocX of Prince Edwards, Va,
rose to second the adoption of the report. After
s eakiDg OF the ties which bound him to New-York,
as well as to Virginia. he mentioned :" the colored
population" When he was engaged to preach in
rgna be stipulated to be al owed to preach to hem
and his ployers said they were very glad to have
bin to do 50. He had done go, and had visited them
from house 10 house He then entered into some min
ute details of his own personal experiences how he
picked up cOlored man In the street and without
thinking OF the lack of snity 20 doc office.
He understood that Gods mercy embraced the whole
world the il finite heart beat for all mankind. Why
should the Gospel not be prea 3hed in the South If
they sinners above others it was only an addl-
tional why they should hsve H. Christ came to
ca sI Ders. Mr.. Comstock noticed the woman of Sl-
mira ano the woman who was caught in fornic4tlon.
Wss the exsence of the peculiar ms tuition reason
why Trey should not have the Gospel lie not

our Savior found a system of Slavery existed more

WHY they sbou d have the gospel preached Their
slble 10 the gospel They privileged to proc sim

services. tie had read to-day the Epis lie of Paul to
Phi emon the STAKEHOLDER and be thought II OF the
best of the Bible. He had been asonlsbed to the
number OF conversions in the South compared with
those in the North. To account for be said that in
the South they preached the truth the whole truth AMI
nothing but the ruth and left all vexed questions TO
be talked over out OF the pulpit. In one family

the sexton of bis church Not very long after the old

Wh.n be wen. to Andrew he told HIN OF his con-
version, without speaking OF the 1888 oil ms Ino.

population Of the South were TO be the ambassadors
of God to Africa, heraIds Of his word beyond the
waters. Not long siDce ne had preached on the oe-
parure OF one OF the families of bis congregation for
