THE THIRTY-FOURTH VOLUME
OF THE
American Missionary,
1880.
We have been gratified with the constant tokens of the increasing appreciation of the Missionary during the past year, and purpose to spare no effort to make its pages of still greater value to those interested in the work which it records.
Shall we not have a largely increased subscription list for 1880?
A little effort on the part of our friends, when making their own remittances, to induce their neighbors to unite in forming Clubs, will easily double our list, and thus widen the influence of our Magazine, and aid in the enlargement of our work.
Under the editorial supervision of Rev. C. C. Painter, aided by the steady contributions of our intelligent Missionaries and teachers in all parts of the field, and with occasional communications from careful observers and thinkers elsewhere, the American Missionary furnishes a vivid and reliable picture of the work going forward among the Indians, the Chinamen on the Pacific Coast, and the Freedmen as citizens in the South and as Missionaries in Africa.
It will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress.
Patriots and Christians interested in the education and Christianizing of these despised races are asked to read it, and assist in its circulation. Begin with the next number and the new year. The price is only Fifty Cents per annum.
The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on page 287.
Donations and subscriptions should be sent to
H. W. HUBBARD, Treasurer,
56 Reade Street, New York.
TO ADVERTISERS.
Special attention is invited to the advertising department of the American Missionary. Among its regular readers are thousands of Ministers of the Gospel, Presidents, Professors and Teachers in Colleges, Theological Seminaries and Schools; it is, therefore, a specially valuable medium for advertising Books, Periodicals, Newspapers, Maps, Charts, Institutions of Learning, Church Furniture, Bells, Household Goods, &c.
Advertisers are requested to note the moderate price charged for space in its columns, considering the extent and character of its circulation.
Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to
THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT,
56 Reade Street, New York.
☞ Our friends who are interested in the Advertising Department of the “American Missionary” can aid us in this respect by mentioning, when ordering goods, that they saw them advertised in our Magazine.
ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE
AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
The American Missionary Association will hold its Thirty-fourth Annual Meeting in the City of Norwich, Conn., on the 12th, 13th and 14th of October, 1880.
The several sessions of this meeting will be held in the Broadway Church, Rev. L. T. Chamberlain, D. D., Pastor.
The opening session will begin at 3 o’clock P. M. of Tuesday, the 12th, when the Report of the Executive Committee will be read.
In the evening, at 7.30, the Annual Sermon will be preached by the Rev. Wm. M. Taylor, D. D., of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York City.
The citizens of Norwich will receive and cordially entertain all friends of the work of the Association who, desiring to attend, shall make application for entertainment before the first day of October.
The Chairman of the Committee of Entertainment, Charles E. Dyer, to whom all such applications should be addressed, will send out, on the above date, cards of hospitality, introducing those who have made known their purpose of attending, to the host by whom they will be entertained.
Those receiving such cards will please communicate at once with the person to whom they are introduced, announcing their purpose of attending, at what time they will arrive in Norwich, and whether they will remain during the meeting, so that hospitality may have no unnecessary burdens to bear.
Those failing to receive such a card by the 6th of October will please inform the Chairman of the fact. An early application will greatly lighten the burden of the Committee, and will be duly appreciated.
It is hoped that arrangements will be consummated for reduced fares on railroads and boats, in time to be announced in the next number of the Missionary, together with the Time Tables of the several roads, so that our friends at a distance may intelligently arrange their plans.
Any needed additional information will be given to those applying to the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, Norwich, Conn.
W. S. PALMER,
Chairman Committee of Arrangements.
