Abstract of the Tenth Annual Report of tht
Executive Committee of Sustentation.

In compliance with the action of the last
General Assembly, the Executive Committee
was organized in the city of Baltimore on
the 17th of June ult. The office of Sus-
tentation was however not removed from
Columbia until September 1st, on account of
the personal convenience Of the Secretaries.
The work of this department during the en-
tire year has nevertheless been conducted
under the immediate supervision of the Ex-
ecutive Committee and in accordance with
their direction.
1t is gratifying to this Executive Commit
tee, in making their first Annual Report to
be able to state that the several branches of
labor included under the general head of
Sustentation have experienced no diminution
of interest on the part of the Presbyteries
and Churches, but have on the whole made
some progress during the past year.
MEANS EMPLOYED.
Five of the Synods, to wit, North Carolina,
Virginia, Texas, Mississippi and Memphis,
were visited during the last autumn by one
of the Secretaries. The Executive Commit
tee also addressed circular letter to the
Presbyteries before their spring sessions,
calling attention to the action of previous
General Assemblies in regard to this work
and invoking renewed diligence in its prose-
cution. The pages of the Missionary have
been used as occasion seemed to require, and
circulars have been addressed to our church
es and people from time to time, giving in
formation in regard to the progress and
needs of the various branches of the work.
COLLECTIONS.
During the past year collections have been
received from one thousand and seventy, four
churches for Sustentation from six hundred
and two churches for Evangelistic work ;
and from seven hundred and seventy-three
churches for the Invalid Fund. A compar-
Ii,oa of these figures with those given in the
Report last year shows that there has been
an increase in contributing churches of two
hundred and nineteen to Sustentation; Of
one hundred and eighty-seven to Evangelis,
tic work and of two hundred and twenty-five
to the Invalid Fund. This increase is dis
tributed generally over the Church but in q
special degree in the Synods of Kentucky
Missouri and Nashville. 1t is gratifying tc
note the more general and earnest attention
to this part of their labors by the chairmer
of the Presbyterial Comm ittees

OUT OF MY HAND.

ONE by one, one by one,
in the kindred light Of the April sun,
While primrose and snowdrop gem the ground,
And the birds are mating and building around,
While violets blossom their steps to greet,
Withlaughing voices and dancing feet,
With wakening fancy and budding hope,
Beyond my reach and beyond my scope,
They pass, while in fear and doubt stand,
Out of my hand, out of my hand.
Baby pleasure, aud BABY care,
Not one of them but was mine to share;
Not a tear, but dried it with kiss,
Not a smile, but Joined in its eager bliss;
Now, the young knight arms for the coming strife,
The sweet girlfaneies start to lie,
They nestle, the maiden shyness beneath,
As the bright buds hide in their silken sheath,
BY spring dews nourished, spring breezes famed,
Out of my hand, out of my hand.
dare not trench on thy realm, my boy,
Nor rob thy sway of one virgin Joy;
l dare not touch with my faltering fingers
The blooms where the light OF sunrise fingers,
Nor drag to the garish light OF day,
What youths proud reticenee would delay;
l can but wait outside it all,
Where the cold winds sigh and the brown leaves
fall
Oh, the castles built oh, the joys planned
Out OF my hand, out of my hand.
Yet did sot bear them in peril and pain,
Did not LAVISH, aud watch, and refrain;
Quitting the pleasures of parting youth,
The glories of science, and art, and truth,
That the paths for those little feet might be
Fresh, and sunny, and safe, and free;
Scheme, and vision, and hope of mine,
They were but those golden heads to shrine;
Now, alone and tired, slow drops the sand,
Grain by grain, from my falling hand.
Father Of all, Saviour Of ALL
Behold a. Thy altar steps fall;
Thou wilt not disdain that | come at last,
With my treasure spent and my noon-day past;
Take Thou the guidance that l resign,
Take this hard embittered heart of mine,
Take the baHied ambition, ungranted prayer,
Basele terror, repining care;
Guide each fairy bark to the heavenly straad,
Take my darings, my darlings, to Thy hand.

Evangelists and seven Presbyteries aided over
last year. ,-Axregular applications, in &C:
cord with the Assemblys bylaws, received
during the year have been granted, and

interests of this work in Texas, aud are graft
