American Missionary Association.

The next annual meeting of the American Missionary Association will be held at Chicago, Ill., in the New England Church, commencing at three o’clock Tuesday afternoon, October 29.  Rev. R.R.  Meredith, D.D., of Brooklyn, N.Y., will preach the sermon.  On the last page of the cover will be found directions as to membership and other items of interest.  Fuller details regarding the reception of delegates and their entertainment, together with rates at hotels, and railroad and steamboat reductions, will be given in the religious press and in the next number of the MISSIONARY.

A meeting of exceptional interest is expected, and we trust our friends will be present in large force.

THE TREASURY.

It will encourage the contributors to the great work entrusted to us, to know that the friends of the A.M.A. are enabling us to make a very hopeful report up to this date.

If those who have not shared in the work of the Association as yet, this year, will make a corresponding effort with those who have done so, we shall have reason to hope that we can go to our Annual Meeting in Chicago, owing no man anything but love and good will.

But those who have waited are many, and we are waiting and depending on these.  Those who have not taken their contributions have the power to convert our hopes into realities.

We appeal, therefore, to the pastors whose collections for this fiscal year have not been taken to take their collections and forward them to our treasury before the close of September.
