ANNUAL MEETING OF THE A. M. A.
The Thirty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary Association will be held with the First Congregational Church, Madison, Wis., beginning Tuesday, Oct. 27, and closing Thursday evening, Oct. 29.
The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Reuen Thomas, Ph. D., of Brookline, Mass., on Tuesday evening, at 7:30 o'clock, to be followed by the Communion service. George W. Cable, Esq., of New Orleans, and Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, of Maine, have promised to be present and address the meeting.
The people of Madison will cordially welcome to their homes the officers, members, delegates and friends of the Association who may attend this meeting. Applications for hospitality should be sent to F. J. Lamb, Esq., Madison, Wis., before Oct. 10. Applicants will receive cards of introduction to families in which they will be entertained. Persons who have notified the Committee of their intention to attend the meeting, but who afterward decide not to attend, will please notify the Committee at once of the change of purpose.
Negotiations are in progress to secure reduced railroad fare for those attending the meeting, due notice of which will be given in the religious papers.

Your Committee are convinced, that not less than a THOUSAND DOLLARS a day are imperatively demanded, to perfect the admirably organized, plans of the Association, even for the present, to say nothing of the pressing needs of the early future.—
