ern will die this year without hearing the
gospel.
Mr.. Staver closed with the following
words: ''The voices Of those, who thus
perish like tumultuous sea, are sounding
in our ears; the heather surge up to our
very doors; the gates of the charnal house
of those who are dead in sin are flung open
before our very eyes; surely He. whose
hand is on the course of the empire, in the
stream of events, would not have opened
them if be did not expect US to enter. o!
that revival of the spirit of evangelism
were upon US that We might at once move fot :
ward and put forth our strength i'll the Con-
quest of the world"

land, ON ''The American Missionary Associ-
alton" both being eloquent appeals to the
hearts of Christian people. Space ewill not adj
nit OF detailed account of these addresses,
but we must publish the following resolu-
tions offered by Mr.. I. L. Clapp and unan-
imously adopted by the Association:
BE it resolved: l. That the A NJ A repre-.
sents one of the kindlest, most Christlike,
and pressing of the departments of our
"Home missionary work"
2. That we approve of the Judgement ex-
pressed in the last meeting of the A. M. A.
expressed in the following; 1--WE decide
that the practice of appropriating public
money for the support of sectarian schools
among the Indians ought henceforth to cease.
3. That it is wise for the A. M. A. to
join in the purpose expressed by other great
ecclesiastical bodies, to decline to seek or
accept any subsidy from the government,
and that henceforth the Congregational
churches here assembled increase their con.
tributions at least l2a per cent to meet the
deficiency arising from our refusal ON prln-
ciple to accept government appropriation
for Indian work, and recommend the same
to all Congregational churches throughout
the land.
The association then adjourned to the w.
C. Z. U. hall for dinner.
