Vol. XLI.
JUNE, 1887.
No. 6.
American Missionary Association.
The Advance will please accept our thanks. In a recent issue it quotes almost the entire financial article published in the May American Missionary, and then editorially comments as follows:
“The Advance seconds the motion for a movement all along the line to save the American Missionary Association from the calamity of a threatened debt. May and June are magnificent months for doing good things. The whole world opens out in beauty. Blossoms, songs, abounding life, are everywhere. What a hint to close-clasped pocket-books to come out from their hiding places and join with the lilacs and apple trees and the birds and the forests and the fields in making everybody happy with their generous outflow. The New West is out of debt; the Home Missionary Society is out of debt. Let ministers and churches and sympathetic friends see to it that when the financial year ends the American Missionary Association can join in the same glad refrain—out of debt!”
