_LETTERS TO THE TREASURER._

"In sending my last subscription to the American Missionary Association
I supposed it to be my last. But the dear Master has not only
spared me hitherto, but he has given me the privilege of sending to the
Society another token of my continued love. You will find draft for
$1,000 enclosed. I am unable to write more. The Lord abundantly bless
and prosper this beloved Society in its noble work."

A friend in Vermont sends $2 and would gladly give more but has
invested about $1,000 in Iowa lots and stock "from which I hoped to get
some profitable honest gain. It has only yielded disappointment. I still
pray the Lord to bless your work--a sure investment--and to help me to
become a better helper in the good work."

A friend in Ohio, with $20, says: "I have read the minutes, papers and
addresses of your last meeting with _thrilling interest_. I hope they
may be widely circulated and thoughtfully and generally read.

Our Annual Report is now ready for distribution. Those who wish it
will please send us a postal card requesting it.
