From the report Of the corresponding

tjst Convention we learn that the cause OF
foreign missions has taken astr0ng hold
upon our brethren, and last year was one
OF the most prosperous in the history OF the
Convention. The receipts were about &c.,
600 above the average annual Income. The
women Of The South have formed societies,
and there are 800 women's missionary So
cieties cooperating with the Board-a large
number Of them are located in our State.

our last session in Charlottesville, sailed

Rev. j. ii. Eager has been elected by the
Board as missionary to China, and others
are anxious 10 be sent to that land. Our
missions 10 China, Europe, Africa, and
South America are all in q prosperous con-

strong faith, and the blessings OF God We
look for greatly enlarged results in the for
eign fields in the near future.
