M. C. A. was held on Monday evening, at their Browns Hotel rooms After the usual opening services, the President (Mr. Miller) the report of the ae of the Association during the past month. This consisted of a reference to the usual fields of labor, the meetings at the rooms, the mission Sabbath schools, the arrangement made at the last meeting to commence open-air services on the afternoon of the Sabbath under the supervision of tne superin- tendents of divisions, and the following statement of facts relative to the work of supplying U. 8. soldiers with religious reoding. Distribution up to the present time: 1,701 copies of the New Testament in English. 1,085 is * in German. 1,7: nd i and Boek of Psalms. 4 “ “tn French, Italian, and Spanish. 38 copies of the entire Bible. 4,610 volumes. About 36.000 tracts from the American Tract Society, New York, and about $1,200 worth of little books and tracts donated by the Boston Tract Society had also been distributed. This distribution has been effected in part directly and partly in codperation with the Cb: lains zr fred. regiments. Much eagernessto obtain and much gratitude for that supplied had been manifested by both officers and men. Facts were alluded to which warranted the belief that great good had already resulted. Regret was exp: that the pecuniary embar- Tassments of the times, by cutting off all the ex- traordinary resources and curtailing the ordin: revenue of the Association for se’ months pas' had necessarily very much abridged its means o: usefulness. After the dispatch ef some matters of business, Rev. Mr. Goss, Secretary of the New York Evan- gelical Alliance, was introduced, who addressed the meeting on the duty of following closely the great examplaer of our faith, “in going about do- ing good ”’ He also gave an interesting account of the objects. plans and operations of the society he represented, in the collection and the distribu- tion of papers, periodicals and bymn books among the sol hoe-< aige edition of the *-Union Hymn Book” baving been prepared and published by the Alliance for this purpose. Rev Mr. Rising and Mr. Vincent Colyer, of the New York Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion, were then Introduced, who each favored the Association with very interesting statements of their observations and experiences during recent and very numerous visits to encampments and hospitals in this vicinity; expressed a hearty desire both for themselves and the association they represent to codperate with this Association in every means of doing good, especially in the extraordinary field which Providence has opened before us; referred to the sense of oppressive mag- nitude of the work, and the desirableness of the hearty cooperation of all Christians in efforts to improve the opportunities presented both in en- campments and hospitals Superintendents of Divisions were subsequently called upon for statements of the progress of the work in their respective districts during the past month, when interesting and encouraging state- ments were made YY Messrs. Vanzantvoord, Nor- ton, French and Ballantyne . The following resolution, offered by Mr. Van- zantvoord, waa unanimously adopted Resolved, That we welcome the committee of the Young Men’s Christian Asscctation, of New York, and the Secretary of the Evangelical Alli- ance to our city; and we offer to them our heart: co-operation and assistance in their plans an labors for promoting the spirttual and temporal comforts of the soldiers of our army.
