We call attention to our new pamphlet (No. 6,) which contains the papers read at the woman’s meeting held at Norwich, Conn., Oct. 13th, in connection with our Annual Meeting. This has been published, and will be sent to those of our friends who express the wish to have it.
“Communion Sunday at Hampton,” by Miss Eustis, and Mrs. Chase’s “Sequel to a Begging Letter,” we are confident will each be read with very tender, almost tearful gratitude, and will thrill the reader with most sweet hopes of the triumphant success of our prayers and labors for the despised and wronged, but soon to be redeemed, races. The grace that is redeeming them is also sweetly touching the hearts of many with reference to them.

The acceptance by Rev. Henry M. Ladd, of Walton, N. Y., of the position of Superintendent of the African missions of the A. M. A., and his readiness to enter upon the work by the 1st of February, was announced in the last number of the Missionary. Mr. Ladd sailed for the Mendi mission on the 12th of February, and was followed on the 16th by Rev. K. M. Kemp, a native of North Carolina, and a graduate of Lincoln University, who, with his wife, are to re-enforce that mission.
After a visit to our missions on the western coast, Mr. Ladd expects to enter upon an exploration of the Upper Nile basin for the purpose of locating the Arthington mission.
