The American Baptist Missionary
Union, aas been SO fortunate as to Sc
cure funds with which to settle its
debts. 1t began this year, with liabil-
tiles which smounted to SAT, 900. But
the representatives of this active de-
nomination would not permit this So
ciety, which has done such an excel
lent work in the past, to remain in
danger. Hence, they made every
possible effort to remove the burden
that rested upon it. In May, upwards
of $37 900, were raised at the rnni-
vefsary meetings at Providence, r. |.
And the balance OF $4,000 has been
pro, ided for, by church collections,
and generous subscriptions by indi-
viduals.
