Third Anniversary of the Christian Alliance Campaign Against His ,Holiness the Pope—Approach of the Terrible Apooa- lyptio Conflict of Armageddon—The Protes- tant Hostsin Line of Battle. The Christian Alliance held its third anniversary meeting on Thursday evening, in Dr. Cones’ Church, Broome street. At eight o’clock the edifice was en- tirely full, and the services had to undergo some slight interruption, from the efforts made to provide seats for ladies as they arrived; a large number of persons, all apparently of the more wealthy classes of our citizens, stood on the galleries, and in the aisles for three hours, with a patience that showed the deep interest taken in the contemplated Anti-Po- in movements of this confederation. _ 3 . The Rev. Dr, Cone opened the exercises by’read- | ing the 15th chapter of Neca, and prayer was of- fered by Rev. Dr. Hurron. The Rev. Mr. Rosgviiie read the report of the Corresponding Secretary, which set forth that it was not yet the privilege of the Alliance to report very large or extensive results, being only thus far in a forming state ; but their movements for so far show- ed it practicable to enlist the various Protestant sevts | in this country, and eo direct their combined force as to acquire power in papal countries. ‘They had commenced the translation of D’Abigné’s History of the Reformation into Italian for circulation in that country. The association was inno breathless haste toadvance, although they were anxious to join together all Christian sects who are opposed to Ro- manism. They had evidence from various sources that the formation of the Christian Alliance had caused serious anxiety to the Romanists; and the Pope had dedicated no small part of his last encycli- cal letter to this Society. The Papal Seo showed une- uivocal sigue of alarm, and if they carried their schome they would undoubtedly furnish His Holines with suffi- cient reason. The gentleman here road a letter from Sir C. Eardley Smith, of Devonshire, England, couched in strong terms of approbation of the objects and o: is zation of the Society, and giving a subscription of £10 sterling towards its funds. v. Dr. Cone then introduced Bishop Janes, who rose and said—Mr. President, 1 move the adoption of the report, and that it be printed under the direction of the jety. Sir, in compliance with the request of the officers of the Society, I will take occasion to say afew words as to the Society and its objects, It isan old adage, that if we have too many irons in the fire some of them must cool; Dr.Clarke, how- ever, saysthat the said adage contains an abominable falschood; that no man can have too many irons inthe fire; that every man should havo as many inas ho can—tongs’ shovel, poker and all, and then depend on rigid attention and energy to keep them from burning. I recollect well that at some of the Galley meetings that preceded tho organization of this society, it was offered by many 28a reason ogeinet this, that having so many already of these benevolent institutions, that if this did not suffer itself, it would be the cause of suffering to others already existing. I, however, am not of that opinion ; I say we cannot have too many christian institutions, 1 bolicve, sir, we can take care of them all; that there are men enough, and means enough in the Church of Christ, if properly directes, to sustain, and sustain properly, all e christian organizations that exist, or that may exist for the furtherance of tho truth of God and the religion of Christ. Why, sir, I am persuaded in my mind, that what ought to be done can be done. So then tho question simply comes up “ ce ed the Protestant Church to send the gospel of Jesus Christ—tho light of christianity into Italy? Is fia. part of hor duty I believe it is; and this-conviction of my mind comes u from this passage of scripture—' Go ye into all £ world and preach the spel unto every creature nning at Jerusalem.” Now, inasw Italy is a of the world, and wortal and redee | is to be preached, | believe, to send the gospel there, and h it. We may have to over- ost us much Inbor, much time, ad ; it will require much of zeal, faith, patience, and jc:s«verance ; but with God on our side—with his wisdom to guide u irit us—the work, difficult as it may reat as may be the obstacles, can be carried out. Why, sir, your report de- clares that the Pope has already been alarmed ; if, how- ever, 1 could speak into his Holinoss’s ear to-night, I would tell him he need not be afruld. Certainly we will not harm him; even had we thelisposition, tho Italians a por tants to whom the sir, it is our botnd: that we also can ac come difficulties ; money, and perho we have not the ‘power. We Protestants have juisitorial power; we have no rack, no pen- to use towards him; and we have not the ish; We seek todo them good only, and that in the name’of the Lord. I prestime there may be those here to-night, who may sond the Pope an account of our mect- ing—what was said and done ; if so, 1 shall be much | and we ma: in obliged to them, if they assure the old gehtleman of my sincere wish for his welfare, and tha! ie may come to the knowledge of the truth, asit is in Jesus. There are seve- ral reasons why I am interested in this society, and one is, sir, because of its boldness; it seems to stand up in the true spirit of christianity; to look difficulties and danger in the face ; and though we cannot do harm to the Pope or to those for whom we are concerned, nevertheless, we can tell him, that ifhe sends infuriated dults among us here, we will take them by the horns, that they may not gore us or others. (Applause.) The great reason, how- ever, which interests me in this society, and which as- sembles this christian audience, is the fact that it aims at the salvation of the souls of these people, ax part of those for whom Christ died—immortal, like ourselves, and ca- pable of sharing with us the bliss of heaven; and if by sending to them the Gospel, and giving to them a know- ledge of the truth of Christ—if, by favoring them with Light and the institutions of gna can bring them to Christ, to holiness and heaven, it isas high an object as we can aspire after—as great a asit is possible for usin any way to accomplish. Another reason, air, why we desire the sglvation of these persons, is to remove the barrier out of the way of extending the Gospel to others. You are not ignorant of the fact, that wherever Protes- tant missionaries are successfully empolyed in the evan- gelization of men, the Romish Priest is there with his doc- trines and discipline. And how is the poor heathen to discover | teers it fine christian religion? How can he be blessed with religion, and enlightened by the Bible, amd led to Christ against such obsta- cles as these Romish missionaries present ? Well, Sir, if we can convert those who are ongaged it sustaining those missions opposed to ours, and bring te enjoy Gospel fellowship with us; and instead of oppo- nents, have them as co-workers with usin the vineyard of the Lord, and to enjoy the religion of the Bible—as we would eave them and remove the great hindrance to the soa of the Messiah, we must come upto the support of this institution, and give it ver ind efficacy. And with the conviction that it will successful, and that we can sustain it, and that it can achievo all it aims at, | maintain that it merits the cordial sympathy and support of this audience. And, now, Sir, another dut juires me to ask your permission to leave this meeting, that I may atte: er of a similar character. Doctor Bacon, of New Haven, seconded the resolu- tion—He said it gave him great pleasure to respond to the remarks of the last ‘speaker and support the resolution he proposed, although he never expected to be the fol- lower of a Bishop ; and, said he, you may take this as an illustration of the unanimity of this Christian Allianco— as one of the spontaneous manifestations of the identity of the household of faith, however it may be named,or its deportments separated ; and, let me say, that we may yet seoa Methodist Bishop laying on hands in the eternal city, and under the very dome of St. Peter’s—that we may yet see the Methodist missionary tread the Appian Way, freighted with the glad tidings of great joy, and roclaim the gospel over the ruins of the palace of the Sears. We all see, and foal, and hear, this as an age of revolution—more eminently such than any preceding age. There is an illusion perhaps in looking back upon former ages. Events contemplated at intervals of cen- turies seem maguified, and roximated, whilst those which are nearer us, and their results, make a weaker impression ; but’ how fow life-tim included more at revolutionary events than ine fe-time ? Mr. Chairman, what can you ave not nm more than half developments have I not ogress! There is a revolution in oyery- thing—in every place—it seoms as if tho whools of time were rushing onwards with ronowed rapidity a6 thoy approach the finale onsummntion. ‘Tho revolution in this age is the progress of opinion. Rovo- lutions, in the shape of insurrection and war, the over throwing of thrones and G7ansiioe ameunt to nothing un- loss the new dynasty be the reign of ypinion.s | any th that the revolution of the ago makos nctunl progre so far as tho force of opinion makos progres: T power of revolution is to bo measured only by that of opinion—only as new idons of God, lifo and liberty are imprinted on the minds of mon, and enrried ont by mon, and incorporated in their institutions. 1 think that to reflecting minds it must bo plain that the noxt groat | stage in the progress of opinion must be tho assertion | among the nations of Christendom, of the doctrine of | religious freedom. Freedom is the great thirst of man- | kind in this age—the great yearning of the nations is for | jom ; they are struggling for it, longing for it, roady to arm for it, “The nations feel that civil liberty, social | liberty, the liberty of tho press, will be useless without ieee liberty—the element of vitality to them all. Yet the assertion of liberty has not yet taken the shape of © demand for religious freedom. Honce, in all Roman Catholic countries every attempt to circulate religious freedom proves abortive. One of the signs of | the eae gen Christendom, is an increased do- velopment of the spirit of enquiry, and the sensibility that characterizes the present period as distinct from the past, both here, in Great Britain, and throughout Europe; look confidently in oxpectation of the next acer, slowly but legitimately | Bolng on—of the great iden of religious free- | feows andwhen that shall be orm reape and fixed inthe | minds of men, it will take ponsessi ion of governments and | nations, and be incorporated deeply in their consti- tution and the fabric of their laws. It is the want of all the various forma of freedom, and above all of religious freedom, that creates that obvious fact of | Roman Catholic count continually disgorging, as it | were, their superabundant misery and pauper population | into the Protestant countries of the world andthe die } treas and misery found in the latter proceeds from tho j fact that it is transmitted from the former, and the liberty they enjoy attracts those who have been d by despotism: Hence it is trong current from Catholic into stant countries, KEng- land, which has such an amount of misery in her own | bosom, sees it multiplied and aggravated constantl: by the crowds of paupers from that green Isle, which fe | 600 years sho has governed with despotism she would endure horself. We contemplate her fall, and feel that s. rogreas of stage in ‘and surely not | we! fo’ have no greater danger to fear here than fromthe masses that pour from the Catholic countries of the old world. It is a danger we must meet—it is one | would not swerve from, but trust to the God of our fathers and of the Bib! tocarry us through. Soin Switzerland, in Geneva, the cradle of the reformation itself, is endangered fiom the crowding into it because of the superior happiness found in the light aud liberty which has nded the reforma- tion. The simple principle lying at the foundation of this happiness, is the right of private judgment; it is the prin- ciple of Protestantism. ‘The gospel, too, tells men to ex- ise their teyjudgment, when it tells them to repent and believe ; it calls them to a spiritual religion, and calls them to exorcise their minds; and every reli- ion that is not one of mechanical performance—one of Cua ae scapularios, must rest on the right and duty of private judgment. ‘This is the true war ol serving ; of kiowing, and apprehending him with an eye of faith. Now, sir, it is to the asvertion of this principle that we of this society stand pledged; and it is well that among tho assembly gathered’ here there should be one standing out from rest—the standard and emblem the great Christian embodiment of the arg and duty of man to judge for himself. It is right that there should be in this American assembly of Christian enterprize, a roof and token to show forth this idea of universal religious freedom. How thenare we to act in order to romote religious freedom? Not by promoting revolu- fon in the shape of physical force ; not by going into plots and conspiracies; it is not our vocation—there is ‘another sort of men who deal in this ; it is not the genius of Protestantism—it is the felicity of Protestantism, that it is incapable of acting by such machinery as this. And our friends here, who may be teking notes to transmit an account of this meoting to tho Court of Rome, will take down, that we admit full and freely, that wo claim it as our glory, our incapacity for that kind af action by which the Jesuits achieved their success. We act openly. We are to act solely by argument and the diffusion of ideas. It is a fair means to read God’s book. We trust that as God commands atl men to repent, it is the privilege of all men, and their duty, to know by the choice of their own minds, the vast and stupendous manner in which God has enforced his commands. This is the idea we wish to inculcate at the peonitions time. Now, when the clouds are caenny blackness—when ere long they may burst overEurope in flames of military violence; it fs the time for our objects to be carried out ; I wish to leave impressed on your minds that the timos now passing are those for scattering the seeds of opinion, that they may regotate and spring up in the minds of those nations, and by and by produce their fruit. The speaker went on to describe the critical state of the peace of Europe—the war that is contingent on the death of Louis Phillippe—the flame that is ready to burst forth in Ireland, and the new course of English licy in tranquilizing the latter by friendly overtures to ome—from all whieh he argued that the Christian Alliance was to encounter the foe, and that at once. Mr. Kiax, of Boston, after a few preliminary remarks, said he proposed to answer the question what was the Christian Alliance considered in its spirit and objects? ‘The Christian Alliance was not a creator,but a creature— not acausa, but an effect. He had no doubt but various feelings were stirring within the hearts of those in that house. Few had yet become animated with the 5] the Christian Alliance ; they had not yet fully ii the feelings which resulted in its organization ; and standing there to speak to those assembied that evening, he was reminded of the time when thousands gathered on the banks of that noble river that formed the tern boundary of their city, to see Fulton’s discovery ; when, despite its intrinsic worth, many a curious gaze told of the little faith they had in that achievement of the human intellect. The Christian Alliance results from this feel- ing, that we cadnot live and see the human spizit crushed under despotism any longer; we cannot sit down under our own vine and fig tree, and see the richest cowutries of the world perishing for lack of spiritual food. ‘the Christian Alliance is the result of the conviction that it is cowardly, unmanly, and impolitic, to sit still and open our bosoms to the deadly foe of Rome—to see our dearest institutions swept away without return- compliment it ing to Rome the is the Christian Alliance ? our berty, of unity and Chri of spiritual liberty and our hatred of despotism. It means to put in appropriate action the members of the Alliance and all ns against spiritual despotism in its spirit and origi anifestation and conse- quences. There are three forms of spiritual despotism, toleration, arrogance, and uhity. Toleration is des- otism. What do you mean by toleration? Why, to let you think. Let me think? I may, my Lord Bishop of London—I shall think. I abhor the spirit that lets me think, and I worship God in a dissenting chapel. (Ap: plause.) It is despotism to talk of toleration in religious affairs, and we have embodied our views in this youn, and flourishing institution; because, if right, it will stan —if not, let it go to the winds. The same we say of ar- rogance. This Christian says, “we have ecclesiastical authority, or better men than you.” One says they are of the apostolic succession—one prides himself on ba) tism ; but the freeman will as soon go to the conventicle as to the Cathedral. We abhor a1 in any man or body of men ; and we abhor too, Sir, the boasted unity of the church. The perversion of that sweet and blessed name is one of the crying sins of the age. What is the church ? It is the fullness of him that filleth all the earth. How do you, a man, belong to the church? Get inside his heart and then you can tell. The moment grace divine grafts one of those branches into the living vine— not before—it is of the church, and it is despotism to bring a man into the chereh in any other but the simple way—that is in accordance with the word of God. I am in danger of trespassing to-night, for in order to give my thoughts more forcible utterance, I have written them down, and mae as well avow it, I never came toa meeting with such fe of awe and deep seriousness. The gentlemen who are sitting at these tables are giving our speeches a mighty magnitude. | want them to do it; it in a great thing to make speeches, and it is a grent thin to report them. often thought that if the Christian A! liance talked to the Pope, he would come down ani joi them. Mr. K. continued at great length to animadvert in strong terms on the efforts now making by the Court of Rome to spread his dominion over this country, and to contrast the genius and social influence of that with Pro- testantism. Rev. Dr. Cox followed, and the sum of his address, which was extremely well received, was th: was an old woman in petticoats—popery a qui entity—Rome the mother of harlots—her organization; framed upon the military plan of Pagan Rome, the Pope corsesponding with tho Dux or loader—but he begged of them to understand that by Dux he didn’t meana certain aquatic animal, Inconclusion Dr. C. paraphrased tho filth chapter of the Apoc: Be ich he concurred with Newton in regarding as applicable to papal Rome; he be- (Ay pplause)) | What ia the expression love of li- ed out—was cortain the Pope, not Mahomet, was anti- christ, and the great battle of Armogeddon as nigh at and, After the address, the meeting closed with prayer. ‘Theatrical Brandon are giving concerts in } z The Mi chez, M Mr. J.

The past year, said the Secre- | tary, has been an eventful one in the history of our | missions in Western Asia; the opposition which has | been manifested by the Turki government; the | many obstacles it has thrown in the way of a dis- semmination of the gospel truth, have been, to a reat extent, withdrawn, The Sultan has destroyed, i: his religious toleration, the fundamental maxim of the Koran. We. have now facilities there for building up the waste places, which, with the bless- ing of "God we are determined to improve. The mission to the Nestorians is abandoned. Dr. Grant, the intrepid pioneer of the mission, died of fever, in 1844; he had labored long and faithfully, and now is enjoying an exceeding great reward. We had to centend with fearful odds in our mission to that peo- le. The Greek Patriarch and his brothers, with the atholic priesthood, backed by the political influence | of France, at the Persian Court, were all marshalled | against our missionaries. In Syria, there has not | been muchdone. Our missionaries, however, are | preaching, and the people learning that the truth as itis in Jesus, will set the nations free. The mission at Jerusalem has been transferred to Beyrooth. We | have every reason to be satisfied with the fruits of this mission; whole Greek families, in the face of ; the bitterest persecutions, have embraced Protestant- | isin, and I rejoice to say, remain faithful to theirpro- fession. The most bitter antipathy seems to exist in the minds of the unconverted Greeks against the Protestant doctrine. The Bible is not allowed to be read, and in many ways the Greek Church shows it- self a fitting coadjutor with the papal hierarchy in the work of oppression. The spiritual existence of the Armenian Church is not healthy—we have, how- ever, some native teachers there, who are effecting much good, and the demand for the Bible is increas- ing, in face of the most determined opposition. In Constantinople, so many attend the mission church that the edifice can seaedy hold. them, and once a week prayer meetings are held in the city proper, yy Mative teachers, and this is in Constanti- uople, the metropolis of the Moslem world. Tne mission on Jabon river, in West Africa, is a most fruitful field of Christian labor, and soon an avenue will be opened to the dark and almost most unknown i in the centre of Africa, where Christians will have an opportunity of extend- ing the blessings of religion. ‘This mission has sus- taiped a serious logs in the death of Mr. Griswold. ‘There was nothing of importance from South Africa. The Secretary then went into a detail of the opera- trons of the Board in Hindostan, showing the pros- perous condition of the missions there, and obsery- ing, in conclusion, that their agencies there should be increased at least an hundred fold. In Ceylon, the indicution of the downfall of idolatry is becoming more and more distinct from month to month, Our missionuaties there are sending home loud cries for help, and che prudential committee earnestly desires to auswer the ery. Nothing particularly interesting has been ved from Stam. ‘The untiiendly aspect which the local authorities of Burneo wore to- wards the missionaries is entirely changed. This is owing to the interposition of the home goverment. Tt atiords us much pleasure to state that, the Des mission is in a must flourishing condition. The Chinese want books sent, and the word taught, far beyond our ability to supply. We have two mission- arics in Hong Kong, and one in Amoy; the last is of the Reformed Dutch Church, and labored formerly with grect faithfulness in Borneo. ‘The Board strong- desire to form a third mission on the Northern Joast, and we ought to send out at least twenty more missionaries. In the pastoral care of large churches, the missionaries have to depend ma- terially upon the native assistants; they have proven themselves, faithful and competent. In many of the villages, the converted Chinese are building substantial school houses, and some of them support their own churches. One of the churches raised for that purpose $125, the very first quarter they met. No intelligence of moment has reached usfrom the Oregon mission. The aspect of the mis- sions among the aborigines of our country generally is most favorable. The great difficulty missionaries find in inculcating the truth, is the avarice and wick- edness among professing Christians. He would say, in justice to the Indian character, that the Che- rokecs and the Choctaws in point of morality, & compare favorably with Americans in their ne: : igh- borhood. A. mission to the Ojjbbeway Indians has been established and is aifecting much. And yet, cause of Christianity. That is not the case with the | Hindoo; Ahoy give largely of their effects to advance | the cause of ‘their god. ‘It is a common occurrence to see $2,000 spent in celebrating an ordinary festi- val; and it is said that one million of dollars was expended in the erection of a Hindoo temple. One man in Hindostan gave one million and a half of dollars to spread Brahmanism. 1 have myself seen between thirty and forty cart-loads of money through the street on its way to support heathenism. | In short, when I look at the small number in the field—the cold support given them—the want of | spirit among Christians, and the nature of the ob- | stacles with which we have to contend, I almost wonder how we have effected so much, Aftersome further remarks, Mr. Hutching’s called upon t Church to arise and take possession of the land in the name of their King—to give liberally, as God may have prospered them—and_ idolatry would be ubolished, and Ged’s name slositied among men. After the singing of the following hymn in which he whole audience joined— Behold, the mountain of the Lond In latter days shall rise ; Shall tow’r above the meaner hills, And draw the wond’ring eyes. To this the joyful nations round Aud distant tribes shall flow ; “Ascend the hill of God,” they ery, And to his temple go. The beams that shine on Zion’s hill Shall lighten every Ind ; ‘The King that reigns in Zion's tow'rs, Shall all the world command. Come then, O come from every land To worship at his shrine ; And walking in the light of God, In holy beauty shine. Rev. J. Topp, of Pittsfield, Mass., addressed the meet- ing, and offered a resolution on the subject of the reci- procating influence that Foreign and Home. Missions had on one another. He was, he said, sure the audience would be sorry to sce him at this time, when they knew that he was taking tho place of Dr. Beecher, who was not able to address them in consequence of his being in a weak state. [Here Dr. Beecher arose and said, he pre- sumed there was some mistake on the subject, as it was the first he knew of it, but he presuined it was all right.) Mr. Todd continued, by saying, that he hoped the time might come when he should be too old to officiate, if with that time his absence should be regretted as his venera- ble friend’s was, and his place honored as his wi The compliment of calling on him was paid to Massachusetts, and not to him. The State had reason to be proud, for various things, and he hoped that they would he inereas- ed. The position of the gentleman at home was peculiar o the region where he dwelt. The audience were doubt- less aware that Berkshire contained the highest land in Massachusetts, and the iron horse had to climb 1200 feet before reaching the altitude from whence they imagined they could see a great way, and they could seo the beau- tiful mountains and valleys, and the pure streams, and in- hale the fresh air. Sometimes it was interesting to trace out the spot where individuals were born, and mark the peculiarities of Sheirensls days ; and old Berkshire has three children whom she loves as much as heart can love, and the first of them was the Home Missions; this, the oldest child, was born there; and before any other was organized in the land, and there it still exists, and oven occasionally sends down its tribute here; the se was the ‘oldest Bible Society in was born there and there it’ still also sends its tribute here. But the brightest of all was the Foreign Mission Sbslety, and since the time that S. J. Mills consecrated himself beside the Hoosack river, and by his movement gave rise to the Berkshire Association of Ministers, which in turn gave rise toa more general association of ministers and to this Board, (and he may be excused, perhaps,for looking down from his heights,) and feeling that God has especially honored them—they dwell alone amidst their hills and waters, but they are emblems of the water of life. We claim not to be thanked; to God be all the thanks; we are honored enough in laboring for him. He was not surprised that a spirit of love and honor for Missionary enterprise should be developed in Massachusetts—in that State there were, he was going to say thousands, but there are scores of praying mothers and pious fathers, who have consecra- ted their sons, and also their daughters, to the work of preaching Christ to the heathen. Ceylon, Bombay, Africa, the prairies and log-cabins of our own far bore testimony to the work of sons reared with pray and tears, There were widowed mothers in Massachu- setts, who have had their beloved sons slain in the exer- cise of their calling;slaughtered by disgusting cannibals; and yet those same mothers have daily prayed for the mercy of God to be extended to the benighted heathen. In his own congregation he had mothers who had sons in various parts of the world,and in our western prairies, and daughters also,and looking abroad to China and India to the many benighted souls there,wandering in the ways ofdarkness,though they maybe allowed to feel thatHome and Foreign Missions were the same in love. Still we must consecrate all we can have to Foreign Missions.— Drs. Beecher and breth%en, from the West, gave account of a young giant in its Cradle, and one which promises to increase in strength every year. They said they wanted the New England Primer and School Instructors;that the Romish faith is there, and that its threatenings will soon Ve heard in tones of thunder not to be mis These point out that we must sustain Home Missions,and while we love both home and foreign, we wish we had one hundred fold more assistance to bestow on them, The Home Missions we are anxious to maiu- tain for three reasons ; our kindred have gone west, and are increasing every yeur in their removals to ‘that part, and we want the Home Missionary to preach Christ to them. Secondly, we wish through the instrumentality of the Gospel of Christ, which can save it, to extend salvation to the country, Thirdly, we want the whole country and the strength of the nation to engage in the work of salvation, and we must have it to enable us to perform our task, which we cannot do, unless the whole country is baptized in Christ. A stranger voice yester- day sald, that they Were not Saxons, We claim’ to be cond the land; it exists, and it although we have done all we could do, and we have etteeted much,how many have gone without warning to the land of silence and darkness, and passed un- sanctified to the bar of God and the retributions of eternity! If we look only at what has been done, we see much to call for thanksgiving and praise—but if we consider what has been left undone, we feel that we have scarcely entered on she mighty work; that we are not half awake to its vastness and its amaz- {ing importance. "In the domestic department of the operation of the Board, there are indications of an increase of the missionary it in the Christian community for which it acts. ‘The numbers of young men in cur Theological Seminaries, who proiess to have consecrated their lives to the publication of the gospel among the heathen, is much larger than it was twelye months ago, and the prospect of obtain- ing an adequate ps of laborers for the foreign field, is fairer than. it been any previous time since the faltering of the churches, in 1837, exerted so disatrous an influence on those who were look- ing forward to this work. he finances of the Board are more prosperous than they were last year. The receipts of nine months of the financial yeas conimencing on the Ist of August, 1844, and closing on the 30th of April, I were $185,000, at Gal those of the corres- ponding period last year, $21,315. The amount thus received in the nine months that have elapsed, is less by $13,000 than the appropriations for the same pe- ri If the remaining quarter of the annual year shall show an increase on the Ce angers quarter of last year in the ratio that has been realized thus far, the Board will be free from debt at the close of its financial year on the 3st of July. In order to accomplish this, the receipts of the remaining quar- ter must average $26,300 per month. f The Board hes now under its care 26 missions, | with 500 laborers, including native teachers, We have 96 missionary stations, and 639 free schools, eontaining about 80,000 pupils, and some boarding schools and seminaries in a flourishing condition.— We have 16 printing establishments, which have | printed about fifty millions of pages in $1 languages, | not including the English, and there are twenty-six , churches of converted heathen with 26,000 members | in full communion, under the superintendance of the | | Missionaries sent out by the Board. Dr. De Wrrv then addressed the meeting instead of Dr. Wyakoif of Albany, who had been invited to address the meeting, but did not attend. His re- marks had reference to the neceentty of action, &c. sous, the Christian churches. He was followed by the Rey. 8. Hurcmnes, of the miesion at Madras, who, alluding to the many trials, &e., which await the missionary in the field of his labors, said that ‘he missionary receives a call from Christ to go and preach the gospel, and he goes forth nothing doubting, with perils by land and perils by sea before him, an though the heathen harden his heart and perish re- (using the tender of salvation, he knows that he has discharged his duty and will receive his reward.— Immediate suecess is not the expectation of the missionary ; he is content to labor in the hope of | ulumately seeing his exertions blessed to the salva- ton of the perishing heathen. A missionary who has ishored for thirty years among the destitute of foreign countries, has said that he considered him- seil aznply repaid if he had only a hearing at first. ‘Acnary leaves his home, his friends, his Ifthe x carly associations, and all that is near and dear to him, to labor in the pestilential clime of India—to work himself out, he surely hae aright to expect that | you will sustain him with your prayers and preperty | } —that m tae morming you will sew your seed and | in the evening you will not withhold your hand.

Still, insignificant as they thought them, they hurled the proud Romans from their place of power and empire, and proceeded in their march of tyranny and rapine tri- umphantly, ‘Their gods wore idols, ‘Thor and Woden, from whose names are derived our words Thunder and War. These were their gods, but on the advent of Chris- tianity, they became people of the Lord, and their habi- tation has’ become one of the brightest spots in the world. He would wish the stranger to go home, and ssay that we too are Saxons, and that our only rivals with our mother country is, which shall ‘carry the Cross furthest into the dark recesses of heathen Tends. He had heard the variety of sect talked of; but we be- long to one church, that of the living God. Our race is Saxon, and our only weapons truth and love, which servovus to embrace the whole family and bring them to Christ. So long as we are engaged as we are, th be no difference between home and foreign’ mis: their objects are reciprocated, and we must be engaged in both, “Whoever thought that when the Apostles were despatched on their missions,that they loved Judea less ? Who ever that enlarging the Gantt contrasted tha soul. He is friends from the country when they returned, not to say merely, that they had attended such and such meetings. They must go and feel they had been near the Saviour and his Cross; that from this day henceforth, they had assumed a heavy responsibility ; they must go and inscribe on the family altar, that “ none liveth for himself alone,” and henceforth adopt the sentiment of living for Christ only. Dr. Beecuen, of Cincinnati, rose and said, that God's ways were not those of men, but they never failed, and always in the end showed that they were what true phi- losophy would have taught us as the true ways, but no subject has shown us more the supremacy of God, than theg order in which he has opened the dispensation of missions and revivals in religion. He recollected the origin of all these dispensations, of all these concentra- tions of God’s views towards the world. He is old now, and in his day, Perhaps, many of his hopos of Zion may not be consummated. When the subject of Foreign Missions led to the organization of this board, the com- mon sentiment was, charity must begin at home; that they could not, under presture of the new settled coun- tries, and their own vacancies in tho church, afford. to send out ministers; but had they followed out that idea, they would have been mistaken; it wos very easy now to ses why the dispensation of God's Providence com- mereed with foreiga missions; it reminded him of the anecdote of Columbus breaking the egg before the courtiors, The reyerend gentloman went on say, that iri arity with sacred things, endangered their being treated with. conte: id that the human mind while engrossed with little thi wanted an orb to cal up souls out of the familiar daily observations. All the great institutions of modern days, were clemen- tary parts of God's plan, originated in spirit, inspired by the Foreign Missions. The shock first struck in Eng- land, and he remembers of the tidings awakening such thrilling feelings, that every heart responded to them; haying got the fire awakened up, then came out the sa- tellites of the Bible and other societies, shot from the greater body, as the Infidels sy the earth was shot out, and made God's plan perfect. Respecting the feeling of the endangering of the church at home, he trusted sufti- ciently in God’s plan, to think itthe wisest. Ata speech made by him at A conyention he attended in England, in | favor of sustaining the western colleges, wihich ind fall- of aban- i was ey can't en into difficultios, he had reprobated the id doning Foreign Missions. He insisted God's wisest to take caro of them, and if they think ti afford to contribute to Home Missions, they must keep them where they are; the Lads y's Missions havo made, and are making, the church a millennial church, and we fear not the west will be behind hand in sw with zeal. If we get enough to keop our hearts whole, we shall be enabled to shout our victories to the whole world. Mr. Sracupix, a maisslonaty from Ceylon, said that when he caine this. morning he had boon asked what he was going to say, He answered, whatever the rest left un: said; but they had left n and that as the tioned the world, hi: ould be the world.

He wonld like all ministers to h from these words in the Bible, viz: the suppliceting prayer of Christ to ro- member his little flock “as thou hast sent me into the world so have | sent then.” The gentleman then went on to refer to the immense field for missionary labor, and orting them | had men: | » | May 9~Hemmingway vs. ————— EEE they would bo as safe in exerciving their oalli Tie ee Tish Indlavand menommeniad, lige Ge students that he saw in t mbly.

I canaot have any thiag to say to | them, or to this audionce i presence, whieh should claim your attentio ‘sir, it affords me some re- lief to'reflect, that ti these fathera may not be iu- | structed by the words of a youth, they may be gratified to learn that some of th burned and glow- | edin their breasts for hala century, has been tranymit- tedto those of the second and third generation, It was my satisfaction, sir, a fow eveniags ago, to address the American Home Missionary 8 y in this house, and the venerable father from tho’ West, who has spoken this morning, was pleased to say, {that althouga he desired to enter into his rest as soon as God called him, yet, when he saw the spirit that showed in young men, he felt you ain, and desired to live a little longer to mingle in their labor. He knew not why that spirit of renewed youth came over hi 'welve years ago there wase revival of religion in}the Filth Presbyterian Charoh of Philadelphia, where I, along with some other young men, became a hopefu! subject of the grace of God. At that time this honored father was on his way tothe West, and came to tell us that he had taken farewell of all his peo- ple and brethren, and was going*to lay his bones on the other side of the mountains in the service of his Master. Ifelt then that he was entitled to his rest, but I thank God he has not gone yet. I thought of tho inspiration that led him—of the heavenly breath that ho breathed, and it was his own breath and spirit [ inhaled, that I breathed the other night, and [ thank God that I have another 0 tunity this morning to catch another spark of that divine fire, and wish myself, and aspire to the honor of being, another satellite, to roll round that glorious ball. Sir, we young men cherish these institutions, and will take care of them. Our Berkshire brethren shall not be neglected in thiscity ; we will take care of them, and as many more as you choose to send us. It was suggested, at the closing of the anniversary week last i, sar, that the clos- ing of these meetings should be of a character tender and solemn ; that we should not go as from a pol assom- bly, but as under the eye andin the presence of heaven. It is desirable for tho churches in which these fathers minister over the lengfh and breadth of the land; and now, in a few words, | will strive to describe a few of the thoughts that have occurred to me here. My thoughts have arisen from this assembly to another, of far greater interest than the objects that surround us here. When have we most of the spirit of heaven, if not when we draw nearest to God, in the closet? This work can be Perfected only by heavenly agency. I must say I was delighted with the idea of the last brother, who spoke of a heavenly telegraph, by which we make the most direct and rapid communication between that other world and thi ooner the Christian missionary, in the midat of and troubles, prays to heaven for relief—no sooner is it uttered, than it is heard in heaven and an an- swer onits way back. In this cause we are in communi jon with the heavenly world. The head of all is and controlling all for the promotion of His cause. too, of the vast body of the blessed that are in hy with us in that world. We have heard to-da: death of our beloved missionary ; not glow with more celestial fire as he con! cause from those loftier heights, and sces and disappointments until the end ? that the beloved Dr. Grant was called last meeting. When he was last among us, I was de- lighted with a remark he made to me. ‘hen I observed to him that he would stop and give us an account of the vast and strange ficld he had been laboring in—‘ O, no,” said he, “I cannot take time for that—I must begin again in my field, and take my station on those mountains, and lift my voice and cry for help ; and if I find you don’t then help me, and come to me, I will come to you.” He went back to see his beloved flock devoured with raven- ous wolves, and to find his own grave at the back of those mountains.’ Yet he has redeemed his pledge. I remem- ber the words of the patriot— My country is lost—m: people are gone!” And Dr. Graut is gone. Yet he not. I see him in tqgo,plissful regions where his shines with clearer raijamce—where his e the clearer sight of dh angel. Oh, the sympathy that rings through the heavenly world, r mponaive to the aspi- rations of our hearts in such an assembly as this, linking ug with heaven in its results! We are told in the report of revivals in the East, in this State and that, of anxious mit enquiring hearts, of rejoi souls, Whiat is all this but the work of heaven in symy with us—of our prayers in our houses, in our families, in our churches. 1 was much affected the other morning when the Chinese youth was introduced and endeavored to speak tous through an interpreter.
