Rutland Missionary Association

The annual meeting of the Rutland
Missionary Association was held on
Thursday at p. m, in the chapel of
the Congregational church. Rev. D. W.
Dayton opened the meeting by reading
q portion Of Scripture and Offering
prayer. He then proceeded to read the
Secretary's report, Of which the follow
ing is brief abstract. After congratu-
lating the Association on having be-
come corporate body, and on the pos.
session of mission house, it goes on
thus to recapitulste the steps, by which
it has attained these desirable objects.
A little more than year since, sub
scription was commenced for the pur-
pose Of obtaining the necessary funds
for the purchase of a building suitable
for mission purposes, and a committee
appointed to select proper location.
An act Of incorporation was obtained
at the last session of the Legislature, and
at special meeting, called for the pur-
pose, was accepted by the unanimous
vote of the Association. Our efforts to
obtain money by subscription were rem
| dered successful by the open handed
generosity with which our applications
were received; we were also permitted
to sell refreshments on the Fourth of
July by the town authorities, and assist
ed in holding remunerative picnic by
the liberality Of the Rutland aud Bur
lington railroad, and the kindness OF
hospitable friends. A Union service was
also held 10 the Congregational church,
and q sermon preached, after which a
collection was taken up, from which we
realized handsome sum. From all
these sources our funds were so much
increased that the Board felt warranted
to make purchase, and the committee
made choice Of the property owned by
DR.. j. B. Porter, and the sale was effected
on the LIST Of April. The necessary re-
pairs and alterations were at once com.
menced, and the school room was com.
pleted, so that the closing exercises OF
the Saturday mission school were held
there. A Mission Sunday School was
iopened about the middle OF May with
encouraging prospects of success. The
tract distribution has been prosecuted
with great yiger, and from four hundred
tracts a month it has increased to six
hundred. After some details and encour.

tions, the report goes on TO say, that the
necessity of renting the greater part OF
the mission house to pay the remaining
debt upon it, was the reason why we
We're compelled to hold our annual
meeting elsewhere than in our own
house."
After reading the report, Rev. Mr..
Dayton made some very interesting aud
encouraging remarks, and was followed
by Rev. Mr.. Seaver, who made an ad-
dress in which he spoke of the Assoca'
ton as exemplifying the true idea Of the
Christian church as an aggressive and
missionary force, Of It's peculiar excel
lence as uniting Christians OF different
denominations in common work for
common Master, and Of the success
which, with other similar organizations,
it was likely TO have in contributing to
the solution Of the great problem of the
effect to be produced upon our State,
moral, political and social, by the alien
population continually pouring in upon
US.
After the address was concluded, the
gentlemen retired, and the President read
the Treasurers report, and stated in ad-
dltion to it that the house was purchased
at the price Of sixteen hundred and fifty
dollars, OF which twelve hundred was
paid, and the remainder must be made
up within two years, else the whole
would be forfeited. The rents received
for the house would be appropriated to
this purpose, and for the rest the Asso-
citation would be obliged again to throw
Itself on the charity of its friends.
The vote was then taken on the &C
ceptance of the reports, and was unani-
nous in the affirmative after which the
annual choice of officers was made, and

those elected, with the several denOmi.

fine specimen of the white tub rose

be accomplished by human art, and Is
but another illustration Of the myste-
rious ways of nature.
