MISSION TO THE JEWS IN TURKEY. Resolved, That, in view of the shortness of human life, the rapidity with which the heathen are passing into eternity, and the immense numbers to whom Christ has not yet been made known, Christians are under solemn obligations to promote the work of sending them the gospel with more vigor and despatch. It having pleased the Lord during the past year to remove by death the Rev. Elias Cornelius, late secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, whose last labors were given to this auxiliary, and by whose very solemn and affecting manner of presenting the claims of the heathen our receipts are so much augmented above those of the preceding year; MR. Schauffler, whose ordination and departure for France were noticed at p. 397, of the last Resolved, That we desire to be solemnly advolume, left Paris on the 9th of April, where he monished and humbled by the repeated chastisehad spent the preceding three months, enjoying ments with which the Parent Board has been the peculiar facilities afforded in that capital for visited; and to realise that the members of this prosecuting the studies requisite in his peculiar auxiliary, and all the patrons of the Board, are called upon for more fervent prayer, more liberal field of labor. On the first of May he left Stuttdonations, and a deeper feeling of personal regard, in Germany, his native city, and proceed-sponsibility, that the missionary cause may not ed to Vienna, expecting to go from thence, by way of the Danube and the Black Sea, to Constantinople, which will probably be the place of his residence.

Unknown, A tea chest, rec'd at Maumee, 39 33 16 00 12 14 83 47 11 14 The first extract is from a gentleman in the state of New York, and dated Dec. 1831. Last spring I wrote you I would endeavor hereafter to forward you not less than $10 yearly. Our good God has made our farm and other means of income, more than usually productive last summer, and the Board is enlarging its operations and consequently increasing its expenses. My time short. What I do for the cause and honor of God in this world must be done quickly. I send you enclosed $100. Another gentleman, on forwarding $100 writes One reason, aside from those more obvious, why I send this is, that it is part of a sum of money I expected to dispose of for my enjoyment in this life. But Providence overruling it so that I did not dispose of it in the manner I expected, I send the enclosed sum to be devoted as I hope to a better object. It appears to me that the man who gives liberally to rescue his fellow men from paganism, anti-christian superstition, and idolatry, has a real enjoyment that the worldling or the man who indulges himself in the pleasures and enjoyment of sense cannot have the most distant conception of. The treasurer of an auxiliary in the state of 188 86 Connecticut, in making his remittances to the treasurer of the Board, noticing the contributions from a small society, remarks 19 55 66 74 26 25 In remitting the money, the secretary of the association at- -observes "At a religious meeting held on the evening of the 25th of September, it was proposed to raise by subscription a sum of money for the benefit of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; and as a united acknowledg ment of the goodness of God in recently pouring out his Holy Spirit upon the people in this place about $126 was subscribed at the meeting and the rest since." A clergyman writes as follows from the inteThe following articles are respectfully solicited from rior of the country. Manufacturers and others. Printing paper, to be used in publishing portions of the Scriptures, school books, tracts, &c. at Bombay, and at the Sandwich Islands. Writing paper, writing books, blank books, quills, slates, &c. for all the missions and mission schools: especially for the Sandwich Islands. Shoes of a good quality, of all sizes, for persons of both sexes; principally for the Indian missions. Blankets, coverlets, sheets, &c. Fulled cloth, and domestic cottons of all kinds. One year ago, it was proposed to raise 666 dollars, a sum sufficient for the support of a missionary and his family in the heathen world. That was done; and on the last Sabbath in April, the subject was again brought before the congregation, and the same pledge was renewed for the ensuing year. The prospect is, indeed, that we shall exceed that sum by 50 or 100 dollars. |
