closed with a most hopeful view of the prospects
of the future, as certain to follow the remarka-
bile progress of the last ten or twenty years, in
the spread of the gospel in foreign lands.
Rev. Luther II. Gulick, Il native of the Sand
witch islands (son of Rev. Peter j. Gulick Il ma
tive of New Jersey, lifelong missionary in the
Sandwich islands, who has four or five sous,
missionaries in various parts of the worldly, was
then introduced, and made very able address
in review of missionary operations since the or
ganizaton of the American board He made
interesting allusOu to various "reminiscences
connected with his own labOrs within the last
twenty years, where his father and himself had
been SO long stationed. He said there were now
in the Sandwich islands over 1870 churches, all
built by themselves, and all seli-supporting, and
more than that they contributed large sums
annually for missionary purposes and the sup
port OF churches in the Islands far ont beyond,
where the light of the gospel was being sent
farther and farther every year. He spoke of the
astonishing progress Of Christian civilization
among the heather in the Micronesian islands,
and beyond in Madagascar, Japan, China, &C.,
saying soon the whole world would be enCir-
cled To show the remarkable progress of the
last twenty years, Mr. Gulick stated that when
he first came to this country, in 1851, by the
then travelled route, via Cape Horn five months
time was consumed from Hawaii and seven
months from the Mcronesian islands. When
he came here next, ten years ago by way Of
Panama, it took two months from the Sand.
witch islands; his last trip, just made occupied
only ten days. And all this remarkable physi-
cal progress was but typical of the astonishing
progress possible, if not already accomplished,
in the religious and moral world.
The venerable octogenarian, Rev. Geo. Allen,
Of Worcester nearly fifty years ago pastor in
that church, was next called upon, and in most
feeling terms alluded to the times and circum-
stances of sixty years ago, when he attended
the first anniversary of the American board ut
Worcester, describing the men Of marked char
acter who composed that body, and contrasting
those with the present, TO show the astonishing
advance of Christian civilization in the world.
He also made allusOn TO the part taken by him
self and others in the formation of the auxiliary
society, iOrty-seYen years ago, and of the inlu-
cnce of that organization upon the progress OF
missionary enterprise. Mr.. Aliens allusion to
various interesting "reminiscences and the promi.
nent men of fifty and sixty ago engaged in this
great missionary work, and his estimate of their
character and the value CT their labOrs, were
listened to with great interest and attention.
Rev H. T. Cheeyer of WorceS ter spoke of the
old man at Wailuku, Sandwich islands, "A native.
who was the first mover in the enterprise of
making the churches there Self-Sustaining, TWEEN
ty-seven years ago.
The session of the conference will be con-
tinucd to-day, closing with the administration
of the sacrament.

Congregational Conference in shrews-
bury.

bury.
The annual autumnal session of the WOrces-
ter Genital conference of Congregational
churches, began in Shrewsbury yesterday in
Rev. +. Porter Dyer's church. There was a very
full attendance. Rev. Henry Cummings of Rut-
land was chosen moderator, and Rev. A. II.
Coolidge of Leicester scribe. After half an
hours devotional exercises, the remainder of
the forenoon was given to addresses by Rev. c.
NJ. Lamson of Worcester, Rev. Henry Dutton
Of NorthbOro, and Rev. Andrew Bigelow, d. d ,
of BoylSton, on the subject, Glow can the Sab
bath school be made a more effective instru-
mentality for the conversion of the young ="
Rev. Mr.. Lamson spoke OF the mutual relation
between the chiren and the church, and of the
relative duties of the parents, teachers in the
Sabbath schools, and pastors, as to the
religious instruction of the young, say
ing they should be taught to make
the church their home, and to consider il in
the light of a family and home Religious in
struction should be impaired as something nat
ural and congenial to the minds of little chill
dren, accompanied with agreeable associations.
and they should be brought up with the idea of
cheerfulness and loneliness as connected with
all religious duties, and not be taught to look
upon them as of a sombre and gloomy aspect.
Religion should be impaired to the young as
something child-li5e and natural and congenal
to their natures, and not as opposed to true en-
ioyment The subject of conversion should be
spoken of in familiar, cheerful, and joyful
manner, attractive to and comprehensive by
little children, Of whom Christ said, "of such
is the kingdom of Heaven" In such way,
the work of Christianity should be wrought out
in the hearts of the young, rather than by allu-
sion TO ideas or doctrines comprehensive only
by adults. And instruction in the Sabbath
school should be supplemented by proper family
instruction at home.
Rev. Mr.. Dutton spoke of the impropriety of
undertaking to make children comprehend doc
trineS, saying the great lever of influence with
them was in reaching out to them the hand of
personal trust, With proper family aud Sab
bath school instruction, in this way, inefface-
able impressions could be made upon the tender
minds and hearts of the young, not possible to
be made by intellectual apprehension at too
early period. Rev. DR.. Bigelow spoke OF the
duty of supplementing the labors of Sabbath
school teachers by proper instruction at home.
The afternoon was devoted TO the exercises of
the 47th anniversary of the Auxiliary Foreign
Missionary society of Worcester central assoca-
ton. The following officers were chosen for the
year ensing: President, Rev. Wm A. Hough-
ton of Berlin; vice presidents, Philip L. Moen

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.--Judge Brown. fifth
auditor of the treasury, has returned from a

ing is not exaggerated; indeed, no accounts can
give an adequate idea of the frightfu extent of
the calamity. The loss to the Numbering inter

GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.
Nearly all the heads of departments, in their
annual reports, will call the attention of com
gress to the necessity of providing for the cree
non OF an increased number of buildings neces-
sary Tor the business of the government. There
IS not department but what is compelled TO
send several of their branches to outside quar-
tiers, which are difficult to find suitable for the
purpose of government use. There is consider
able excitement among the pension clerks who
nave, or Will shortly, quarter in the old Seaton
house, on account of the reported insecure con
diton OF the building. There are but few build.
ings in Washington that are fit for government
use or that can stand several hundred tons OF
weight in the shape of records, as well as accom-
modates hundreds of clerks. The amount OF
money paid in the course of two years for the
rent of these unsuitable buildings would be
sufficient TO erect magnificent public edihces.

necessary to issue instructions as to the manner
OF drawing Uuited States discussing officers

ing officers or agents of the United States draw

credit with the treasurer of the United States

OF the check the object or purpose to which the

enforced long ago such cases us that of HODGE
