appeal for an appropriation of 81 600 to pur-

itate and enlarge the sphere of his missionary
labors, which the Committee would be glad to
grant were it not for the cramped condition of
their finances. Several sums have been already
sent in toward the purchase of this lot and we
shall be very glad to receive any others for this
important object, all of which will be forwarded
as soon as the amount is made up. Miss Stafford
reports the mission family at Soochow as in good
health, and the missionary work going on as
usual.
