The Christian Missionary Society, now
in session at the Main-street Christian
Church, is engaged in a very important
work, that OF providing Christian educa-
tion for the benighted ones of this Com
m0nweai But they are TO great ex-
tent defeated, in their benevolent objects
by the lukewarmness of Christians, who
will not subscribe to the funds OF the
association as literally as they ought or
as the wants OF the Christian faith make
necessary. At the meeting on Wednes-
day it was decided to discontinue the
district organizations and continue the
State Board. An earnest appeal is to be
made to the churches to come to the aid
and assistance OF the laborers in the
missionary field, and it is to be hoped
that the appeal will not be in vain.
