The past year has marked a period
OF unprecedented gifts to the cause of
missions. One denomination reports
the receipts for the cause of foreign
missions within a period of twelve
months of s2.171.260.Os; and that ex-
ceptional progress hase been made in
its foreign mission fields. as shown by
the addition of 1881 communicates to

The same denomination in it's report
of the board of publication and Sab

being an increase of 47,500 over last

total of 1,640,695. And the report fur
