      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.

      THE FIGURES.

With the receipts of September our Treasurer will close his books for the year. As we are obliged to have the matter for our magazine in the hands of the printer before the middle of the month, we are not able at this writing to forecast what the result of the rally to obviate a debt may be. We remain firm in the conviction that our friends have the ability to prevent the debt, and that if they are roused to a sense of the necessity of its prevention, they will do it. We have endeavored to be faithful in keeping them informed of our needs. Many of them have responded with great liberality and some of them at great sacrifice. We thank them with all our heart. We wish we could spare them the pain of reading our continuous appeals, because we know it leads them to ask if they ought not to do more. This they ought not to do, but the fact that there are so many who have done nothing and so many who have done little,
