NATURE'S NERVE TONIC, NOT A LABORATORY COMPOUND.
Physicians have found that it gives nourishment to the brain and nerves by supplying the elements that are removed by excessive men- tal or physical labor, excitement, worry or over-anxiety. In this way it restores the elements, the loss of which causes exhaustion, nervous- ness, loss of memory and impaired vitality.
In the practice of thousands of physicians, it has been found to be the
BEST PREVENTATIVE OF CONSUMPTION
And all Diseases of Debility.
A physican, writing, says : " I use it with excellent results in the imperfect mental or bodily growth of children, and with all feeble and nervous persons."
It is a Regenerator of Brain Tissue,
And is largely used by Clergymen and Teachers.

OBERLIN COLLEGE
OBEZE^X-iIIsr, OHIIO.
Department op Theology. — Instruction is given by the President, five Professors, and eminent special lecturers appointed from year to year. Students have commodious furnished rooms in the new and attractive building, Council Hall, which is devoted exclusively to the uses of this Department. They have free access to all the classes, libraries, and cabinets of the other Departments. Fifteen weeks during the summer can be spent in Home Missionary or other labor, with compensation, without interference with studies. The demand for such labor is greater than the supply. During the last half of the course the students have frequent opportunities to supply the neighboring churches. Students who need pecuniary assistance receive the usual aid from the American Education Society and from special funds under the control of the Seminary, enough in all cases to relieve them from embarrassment in pursuing their studies.
Department of Philosophy and the Arts. — Eleven Professors give instruction in this Department. The Classical nnd Scientific Course embraces the studies of our best colleges, so arranged that after the Freshman year the student may, by elective studies, give a classical or scientific character to his course, receiving the degree of A. B. at its close. For entrance, three years of Latin, two of Greek, and one term of Geometry are necessary. The Literary Course is like the above, with the exception that no Greek and less Latin is required.
Department of Preparatory Instruction. —Comprises a Classical School, which prepares students for the best colleges, and an English School, which offers the advantages of a first-class academy to those who can spend but a little time at school. Instruction is given by the Principal of this Department, six tutors, and about fifteen special teachers.
Expenses in all departments for tuition, incidentals, and board are very low. Students who do not wish to take a full course can select such studies in any department as they are prepared to pursue to advantage. Both sexes admitted. Location healthful, and religious influences the best. No drinking or billiard saloons in town. Circulars with full information sent free by J. B. T. MARSH, Secretary.
OBERLIN
Over three thousand students have received instruction in this Conserva- tory since it was established. Its faculty conoists of five Professors, four of whom were educated in the celebrated schools of Leipzig and Paris, and all of whom give their entire time to t\n* institution.
Instruction is given in class or private lessons, as preferred. The rates of tuition are exceptionally low, fifteen dollars a term paying for tuition in piano- forte, organ, violin, or singing, with other advantages of lectures, concerts, recitals, chorus singing, etc., making a total of from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty hours of instruction in various branches each term. All living expenses in Oberlin are also very low.
The Conservatory is one of the departments of Oberlin College, and under the direct management of its Board of Trustees. By virtue of this connection it offers greater advantages for both musical and literary culture than can be obtained elsewhere. Diplomas are given to all who complete, in a satisfactory manner, its course of study. The terms of study begin in September, January, and April, each continuing three months. For fuller particulars send for cata- logue to Prof. F. B. RICE, Director, Oberlin, Ohio.

BRADFORD ACADEMY,
FOR YOUNG LADIES.
PARLOR OF A SUITE.
Bradford Academy is the oldest Seminary for young ladies in the country. Founded in 1803 and incorporated in 1804, it has been in successful operation ever since.
Bradford is on the line of the Boston & Maine Railroad, thirty miles from Boston. The situation is elevated, overlooking the city of Haverhill, acro-s the river Merrimac, and commanding broad views on every side. The air is fresh and invigorating, and the healthfulness of the location has been abundantly proved during the past years of the school.
The building is of brick, four stories high, in the form of a cross, wide corri- dors extending from east to west, and affording healthful pro'nenades in inclem- ent weather. A parlor and two bedrooms constitute a suite of rooms for four pupils. These rooms are eleven and twelve feet high, and reci-ive a full supply of air and sunlight. The school hall, recitation and music rooms, library, read- ing-room, gymnasium, parlors, dining-room, rooms for business, bathing-rooms and clos'ts are all ordered on a generous so Ue for convenience, health and com- fort. The entire building is heated by steam and lighted with gas, and supplied with abundance of pure water. No efforts are spared to make this a model establishment.
Board and tuition, |!320 per year. Music, Drawing and Painting, extra.
Applications for circulars and for admission may be made to Miss Annie E. Johnson, Principal, Bradford, Mass.

LiSELL SEMINAEY FOR YOONG WOMEN,
(Ten Miles from Boston.)
"Jennie June " says : " Lasell is a true home selioal, one that parents can rely upon as being perfectly safe and pure in tone, where the best iniluences are brought to bear in forming a young girl's character."
We suggest to parents seeking a good school for their daugliters the following considerations in regard to the special aims of Lusell Semiaary in the education of young women : —
First. It is thoroughly liome-like in character. A large number will never be rect-ived. A judicious, motherly care takes the i)Iaci^ of given rules. The pupils soon fe-1 that they are loved and trusted, and respond naturally to this trust, and ate at their best. The system (peculiar to this school) of self-government, after a successful prohation, appeals to the best motives, and rar.dy fails to strengthen in each young woman a sense of responsibility to herself that is most valuable for life.
Second. It gives special care to health. Young people, girls especially, ought not to work under such conditions that at the end of a school year they are t'red out. It is our purpose thi<t pupils shall constantly grow stronser in body as well as in mind. A lady physician is in regular attendance at the expense of the school, looks after ventilat'on, dress, care of the body, and advises proper work and recreation for individual cases.
Our building is open on every side to sun and air; the hours of sleep are long, and the t:ible amply supplied with a variety of well-cooked and pnlutable food. Our drainage is perfect; we never have any malarious disease, and sickness of any sort is very rare.
Third. It has established a handiwork department. Believing that cooking, dress-cutting, millinery, and similar branches are of importance in every young woman's preparation for actna life, wliether ever required for self-support or not, we have for some years giv(^n them attention quiie unusual in schools. The instructors are Boston specialists, and these branches are placed on the basis of history, music, bookkeeping, or any of the studies taught.
Fourth. It gives unusual opportunities for the study of the mod-rn languages. French and German are taught by one of the best masters in the United States. A few advanced pupils are rt ceived into the family of this teacher, who lives near the Seminary, where, while under our care as entirely as in the large building, they will in reality enjoy the advantage of living in a, foreign /(tmili/.
tifih. Its musical advantages are unexcelled. Our teachers aie specialists of estaijlished reputation in Boston. Instruction is given in linnted classes, or privately, as desired. The Courses for diplomas are more extended than in most conservatories, and pupils have the great advan'age of hearing what is best in Jjoston, a centre of musical culture. Fifteen new and carefully selected [danos have just been placed at the service of the music pupils. They are mostly uprights, and are from Decker & Sou, Knabe, Euierson, Hallett & Davis, Cliick- ering. Miller, and Steinway.
Sixth. It gives thorough instruction in a broadly planned course of study qvite above the grade of must seminaries. It utilizes constantly the rare opportunities which its nearness to Boston gives it, for securing the best masters in the various departments. In history and English literature we do unusually exti'uded work. Mr. Henry N. Hudson supplements the class instruction in literature by weekly readings with the pupils, of Shakespeare and other English cl.assics.
Expenses. — For a full year, including board, furnished rooms, lights, washing, seat in church, use of library and reading-room, lectures, tuition in all tlie studies of the course (exc-^pt modern languiiges), freehand drawing, elementary vocul lessons, penmanship, calisthenics, etc., $350. No extras, except modern lau- gUHges and ornamental branches, such as music and painting.
A reduction given to ministers in the pastorate.
Parents are invited to send for Catalogue, i^" Please mention this publication .

MISS ^WARD - - - Principal.
Wheaton Female Seminary,
NORTON, MASS.,
Was founded by Hon. Laban Wheaton, of Norton, in 1834, In memory of his daughter, to be a school for Christian education. It is on the Boston, Clinton, Fitchburg and New Bedford Rail- road (Old Colony, Northern Division), within an hour's ride of Boston, and is in connection with all important points by railway and telegraph. It is in a healthful village, entirely tree from all temptations and excitements. It is not a large school, and gives, therefore, opportunity for familiar personal Intercourse between teachers and pupils. It has a very choice reference library of over three thousand volumes, one of the best furnished laboratories in the country, ample philosophical apparatus, an observatory with a fine telescope, and cabinets of natural history, all of which are accessible for study.
The design of the school is to impart an accurate, thorough and practical education. It especially aims, as it has done from the beginning, to base such education upon a hearty faith in the Bible, and a conscientious Christian life ; and it is the endeavor that a pervasive but not officious Christian influence be constantly felt throughout the school.
The regular course of study for graduation covers four years. But pup'ls can join temporarily such classes as they are prepared to enter, without pursuing the full course.
The expense for the regular course, including tuition, board, room and heating, lights, washing (twelve pieces per week), $255 per year. The regular tuition of the daughters of clergymen and missionaries is remitted upon application before the beginning of a term^ Several scholarships of one hundred dollars each are provided for deserving pupils.

The Academy continues to fit boys thoroughly and systematically, in large classes, and under an experienced Faculty, for the various colleges. The English department is also well organized and equipped for scientific and general studies.
The character of the circulation of the Year-Book makes it proper for the Academy to invite to itself in this card the attention of Christian ministers, a class always interested in education, and most frequently consulted as to the best schools. Clergymen have been educated here in exceptionally large numbers, and many ministers and missionaries are among its present patrons. The close vicin- ity of the Theological Seminary and the Abbot Academy for young ladies influences many parents in the choice of this school for their sons. Expenses may be kept within moderate limits, and pecuniary aid is open to pupils of superior merit who could not otherwise secure an education. Address the Principal.
ABBOT ACADEMY,
ANDOVEH, MASS.
Abbot Acabkmt Is the oldest Incorporated Academy (exclusively for girls) in this State, if not In New England. Incorporated January 9, and opened May 6, 1829.
The course of study covers four year», and embraces all the utual academical studies, special attention being given to Mental and Moral Philosophy. English and General Literature, the History of Art, and to the Latin, French and German Languages. Superior advantages are afforded in Music, Drawing, Painting and Elocution.
This Academy enjoys many incidental' advaatages through other literary institutions,— the Theological Seminary and Phillips Academy, in the same village, while easy access to Boston and Cambridge brings within its reach fine Music, Art Galleries, Museums, Gabiiiets, and the Botanical Garden, to all of which, classes with their teachers have occasional access. The Academy has a fine Clark Telescope, good working cabinets, models and apparatus of its own.
The domestic arrangements are peculiarly homelike. The school is divided into three sepa- rate families in separate houses, each under its own matron and teachers. One of these families is made np wholly of pupils in French, In which language the daily table-talk is car ried on under the direction of the French teacher. Another family is occupied with German in like manner.
The school has been successfully conducted for twenty years by the same principal teachers, whose constant endeavor is to so educate girls that they may mature into healthful, culti^ vated, earnest, Christian womanhood.
The total expenses for board, including fuel, lights and washing, and for tuition, except music and drawing, is $300 per annum- Application for admission or information should be made to

Chauncy-Hall School,
THE OLDEST PRIVATE SCHOOL IN BOSTON,
No. 259 BOYL.STON STREET.
Established 1828.
One reason for the thorough preparation for college at this school is the small size of the Latin classes. If a pupil is in a large class, he cannot receive sufficient help in his efforts to master the difficulties of a foreign language ; and if he is entirely under the care of a private tutor, he loses the drill and develop- ment that can be obtained only by contact with other scholars of his age.
The arrangements here aim to combine class work with private instruction. The Latin classes are divided into sections that seldom have over ten members each, so that every scholar receives a great deal of personal attention ; and the teachers are ready to give extra help out of recitation hours.
The only Sophomore at Harvard who took honors in 1880, both in classics and mathematics, was prepared at Chauncy Hall.
The only Sophomore at Amherst in 1880 who took honors in mathematics, after having in the previous year taken honors in classics, was prepared at Chauncy Hall.
The attention of parents, particularly of those who wish their children to begin Latin at an early age, is invited to
1. The watchful care here in regard to Sanitary Matters.
2. The attention given through the whole Classical and English Courses to Composition, English Literature, and Dec- lamation.
3. The aid in the formation of Character, Habits, and Man- ners.
The large number of Teachers affords unusual advantages for
Students wishing to enter Professional Schools avithout
GOING through COLLEGE.
Every candidate presented by this school to college or to The Institute of Technology in 1880 entered without condition, though the class sent to the Institute -was larger than from any other school in the country.
Young Ladies who are intending to take a collegiate course, or to enter the Institute of Technology, can have the great advantage of reciting in the same class with boys who are on the regular course of preparation, and of being under teachers who have successfully carried on such preparation for many years. Such students are now here fitting for Smith College, Boston University, the " Harvard Annex," and the Institute of Technology.
For the remarkably full business course see catalogues.

OBJECT.
This institution secures the advantages of education to the colored race, but is open to all students, irrespective of race or sex. It can accommodate 500 studeuts, at a very cheap rate of expense.
DEPARTMENTS.
It has an Academic Department, embracing (a) The Model School Course of three years in the elementary English branches (students completing this course are prepared to begin either of the three following) ; (h) The Normal Course of three years, adapted to those who have the work of teaching in view ; (c) The Literary Course of four years, designed to furnish a good practical education for those who are unable to take the full college curriculum ; [d) The Classical Pre- paratory Course of three years ; and (e) The Classical College Course of four years.
It has also three Professional Departments, — Law, Medicine and Theology. The two latter are especially flourishing. The Medical Department is under the charge of an able faculty, is the cheapest medical school in the land, and has ac- cess to a large national hospital on its grounds. The majority of its students are white. The Theological Course is adapted to the peculiar wants and future work of the students, and gives a regular or a special course. Its faculty and students represent several denominations, but it is supported by the American Missionary Association and by the Presbytery of Washington.
EXPENSES.
Tuition, $12.00 per year for the Academic Course. Room-rent the same. No charge to theological students for tuition or room-rent. Rooms are furnished, but students provide their own bedding (except mattress), towels, crockery, fuel and light. Board, $10.00 per month (cheap table, $8.00). Washing $2.00 per month. Law Department, $40.00 per year; Medical, $10.00 initiation fee, $30.00 graduation fee, and no tuition fee.
NECESSITIES.
Howard University appeals to the Christian puljlic of all denominations for pecuniary aid. It has grounds and buildings which cost over $500,000, which are free of debt, but it needs permanent endowments for its professorships, and en- dowed scholarships for indigent students. Situated at the national capital, where its work is conspicuous, it has the noblest opportunity to reach all parts of the land with its elevating influence. Appeal is made, for generous contributions, to churches, Sunday schools, ladies' societies, and benevolent individuals. Address

Fisk University was founded for the express purpose of giving Christian education to the einancipuled millions of the South. Its location is central and in every way desirable for the purposes of a great University. Nashville is easily accessible, and is sufficiently elevated above and removed from the malarious regions to be a favorable place for study. It is the greatest centre of educational iustitutions in the whole South. Nearly every denomination hsis selected Nash- ville, or some point near by in Middle Tennessee, as the seat of its college or university for the Southwest.

The work was begun immediately after the close of the war. There have already been established the following departments: Normal, with its Model School for practice. Higher Normal, College Preparatory, College and Theologi- cal. It is hoped that funds can soon be provided to establish departments of Medicine and Law.
The University has one large building named Jubilee Hall, in honor of its Jubilee singers, who raided the money to erect it. Its second building, Livino- stune Missionary Hall, has been provided for by the munificence of Mrs. Daniel P. Stone, and is now being erected.
NECESSITIES.
The great and pressing necessity of the University is an adequate endow- ment. Fisk University is emphatically a missionary institution. The people iu whose interests it has been founded, were, sixteen years ago, slaves. The most of the students are dependent on themselves, and must earn their own support while securing their education. The colleges of no section of our country rely upon their students for the salaries of professors.
The current expenses of Fisk University have thus far been ijrincipally met by the A, M. A., but with the hope that the success of its work would create for it friends, who would gladly endow it.
We present to all who have money, and wish to use it in the interests of humanity, this opportunity of investing money in a perman nt form, to do a most noble work in behalf of Christian education for the centuries to come in this country and in Africa.

CARLETON COLLEGE.
NORTHFIELD, MINNESOTA.
Carleton Colleiere was founded by the State Conference of Congregational Churches, and located at Nortlifleld, on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, forty-two miles south of St. Paul. It entered upon regular college work in 1870, and the first class was graduated in 1874. Every year has witnessed a steady advance in the nnmber of students and instructors, in the various facilities for complete collegiate instruction, and in public confidence and reputation.
It is the aim of the college to provide an education liberal and thorough, according to the standard of scholarship in the best Eastern institutions, and under influences distinctly and earnestly evangelical.
There are in general four departments: the Collegiate, Vbt Preparatory, the Eu(/!ish and the Mu/iical; all of which are open on equal terms, to students of either sex, irrespective of race, nationality, or denominational preferences.
Three collegiate courses are presented: the CldJ^sical, the Literary, a,n^ the Scientific; each occupying four years in addition to preparatory work.
The Astronomical Observatory is fully equipped for practical work, and has been made by the United States government a Signal Service station. Special facilities are oflered for advanced study in astronomy and pure mathematics.
Carleton is the only college under Congregational auspices (except the Pacific Unlversliy in Oregon), In that Immense empire lying between the Mississippi River and the Pacific, and north of the forty-second parallel of latitude, or Northern Iowa and Nebraska. In its relation to Home Missions and to Christian civilization in the Northwest, its importance cannot be over- estimated. It has a great work to do, and for this work Its resources should be very largely and «pe«di7y augmented. Postponement means loss. Present aid will effect more than ten times the same amount a generation hence. For specific information, address

TABOR COLLEGE,
FREMONT COUNTY, IOWA.
Tabor, 32 miles southeast of Couacil Bluffs, 475 west of Chicago, was settled in 1852 by a colony from Oberlin, Ohio, who, after a year of prayer and planning, moved into the West for the purpose of establishing a Chris- tian College. There has never been a drinking or billiard saloon in the place. Tabor is upon high, rolling prairie, 300 feet above the low lands of the Missouri River, in a healthful and beautiful region.
All departments are open to both sexes and all races. The instruction is designed to be as thorough as can be found anywhere.
The College Department includes Classical, Scientific, and Literary Courses of Study, of four years each. The Teachers' Department includes a iwo-years' course of study. The Preparatory Department has facilities for fitting for the higher departments and for general business, and for this purpose is designed to be equal to the best Academies.
The Department of Music is in charge of a Professor, aided by compe- tent assistants.
Expenses are kept at the lowest practicable point, so that those who have to depend upon themselves can secure a thorough education. Tuition, $6.50 to $8.50 per term. Books can be rented at one fifth their cost.
Scholarships, good for four years' tuition, may be purchased for $50.00, Professor C. A. "White, now of Bowdoin College, Maine, said, in his Geological Eeport of Iowa : —
'• The soil of Fremont County is an inexhaustible source of wealth, for it is almost wholly composed of that fine lacustrine material known as Bluff Deposit, which is perfectly homogeneous from top to bottom, and when thrown out upon the surface from a hundred feet below it, its fertility is almost as great as that already upon the surface." See Vol. I. p. 361. For those who are seeking homes in the West, the vicinity of Tabor College presents many attractions. Fall Term begins Sept. 6, 1881. Catalogues seut on application to

MARIETTA COLLEGE,
n^.c-A-i^iE'X'i'.i^, 0x3:10.
LOCATION.
Tlie institution is located at the junction of the Muskingum River with the Oliio, where the lirst settlement in the Northwest Territory was made in 178s, by a New England colony, com- posed chiefly of the officers anil soldiers of the devolution. The sons of the first settlers, m iny of whom had received a liberal education, founded the College, and have lieen among its most generous benefactors. Over seventy of its graduates are the lineal descendants of the early settlers.
GENERAL FEATURES.
As the town is a New England town, so the College Is emphatically a New England college, presenting almost every feature of the typical college of the p;astern States. Furty-three classes have been graduatetl, numbering 498 alumni ; of whom all but fourteen have been in the classical course. The permanence of the stnaenls is a characteristic feature, over sixty per cent of those who have entered the classical course having completed it Few have lett to go to older culleges, and the small loss from this source has been made good by accessions from other institutions. The number of volumes in the College and Society libraries is 28,500
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
In the Collegiate Department there are two courses of study, leading to the degrees ot Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Philosophy. In the latter course the Greek is omitted, and additional instruction is given in the ;;,0(lern languages and In the physical sciences. All the instruction in the Collegiate Department is given by permanent professors.
A PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.
The Marietta Academy furnishes thorough preparation for college, and gives to these not expecting to take a collegiate course all the advantages of the best academies and high schools. The instruction is wholly by grailuates.
The general expenses are moderate. Tuition in the College ii Forty-five Dollars per an- num, and in the Preparatory Department it i'* Thirty. The institution has thirty or more scholarships, founded by benevolent persons, on the basis of one thousand dollars each, which are for the most part in the gift of the College. In this way gratuitous tuition is provided for deserving young men of narrow means. The Spring Term begins April 14; the Fall Terra, Sept. 8.

OLIYET COLLEGE,
OLIVET MICH.
The Spring Term opens April 7, 1881 ; the Fall Term, Sept. 15, 1881 ; Winter Term, Jan. 5, 1882.
EXCELLENT ADVANTAGES AT MODERATE EXPENSE.
The College Department embraces both Classical and Scientific Courses, each extending through a period of four years.
The Ladies' Course is a modification of these, and also extends through a like period.
The Preparatory Department includes both .an English and classical course, the latter fitting students for the b st .'\merican colleges.
The Normal Department furnishes a two-years' course, qualifying students' for successful teaching in the public schools of the State. Teachers' classes are formed at the beginning of the Fall and Spring Terms.
The " Michigan Conservatory of Mu-iic" furnishes facilities in Organ and Piano playing, Harmony, Counterpoint, Fugue, Musical Composition and Vocal Culture unsurpassed in any of the schools of the country.

Ripon College was organized in 1863. Since that time it lias made steady progress in provid- ing buildings and furnishing them with the best facilities for Instruction within reach, in manning its departments with able and devoted teachers, and in general reputation and in- fluence.
It is the aim of the Institution to provide for the liberal education of young men and women, and in doing this, to keep its standard fully up to that of the best Western colleges, and its methods of instruction in harmony with the most enlightened views of education. It aims also to furnish a thorough preparation for the ))ursuit of college o<^urses, and to provide a sound practical education for such as may desire to fit themselves for common-school teaching or for bnsiness. Its purpose is also to make the expense of pursuing a course of liberal study as low as is consistent with a high degree of excellence in its results, and tlius to keep a lib- eral education within the reach of young men and women of limited means. It is likewise the earnest purpose to conduct the Institution on distinctively Christian principles, and to have it pervaded with a strong and healthy moral and religious influence. While aiming at the best results of intellectual training, its instructors ever bear in mind that character is more than these, that the development of character is an essential part of the work of an educational institution, and that there is no sound basis of character except in Christian principle.
Classical, Scientific and Musical courses of study are provided, and thorough Preparatory and English Schools, under the care of the same faculty, fit pupils for the higher courses. Supervision Is constant, and self-help is particularly encouraged.
Ripon is situated in the region famous for beautiful summer resorts, the healthfulnesB of its climate and absence of malarial diseases. Send for Catalogue to
Pres. E. H. MERRELL, Ripon, Wis.
DOANE COLLEGE^
CRETE, NEBRASKA,
CHARACTER. This Institution is the child of the Cougregational Churches of Nebraska. It has for its object to secure a thorough Christian educa- tion. It is open to students irrespective of race or sex.
COURSES OF STUDY. Preparatory Classical and Scientific courses, each of three years ; Collegiate Classical and Scientific, of four years each ; 'Lit- erarij course of five years ; Teachers' course of four years ; Music and Drawing.
SITUATION AND NEEDS. A frontier State in its formative period, with good and evil struggling for the mastery ; foreign influences strong, mission- ary churches weak ; the College in close sympathy with these churches ; the insti- tution prosperous, but in great need of further aid. The extremely low price (less than one sixth the cost) at which tuition must be placed in a new State is itself a most urgent plea for endowment funds.
He who gives to endow Doane College helps to solve the important question, What shall be the future for religion and education in this frontier State?

The Gem of BIBLES"
The "oxford;
Sunday-School Superintendents, Teaoher& and all other Students of the Bible- would do well, before making their selection, to read this ! —
The Sunday School Times sai/s,
"The demand for good editions of the " Bible with fitting helps to its study is "on the increase among Sunday-school "teachers; and the effort to meet this " demand promotes a healthful competi- " tion among publishing houses. It has " not been easy at all times to decide in " favor of any one edition above all others ; ''hence such a request as the following — "from a correspondent in Tennessee — " could not have been answered by us with '' positiveness until a few months ago. He " says : —
"/ desire you to tell me which is the best Teachers' Bible among the kinds adver- tised. I want the best Bible for Teachers."
We have no hesitation in saying that. "all things considered, the OXFORD TEACH- " ERS' BIBLES are better for the Sunday-school " teacher than any other with which we are familiar."
!^"The Sunday School Times, of Sept. 25, 1880, in reviewing and com- paring the various editions of Teachers' Bibles now offered, furtlier says : —
" All things considered, we prefer the Oxford Teachers' Bibles to the Loudon, iind it is between these two that the choice is commonly to be made. The range of editions and prices of the Oxford is as large as any. The paper and printing are better than the London. The binding leaves nothing to be desired. The main helps of concordance and index, taken together, are an improvement on the London. The various other helps which are likely to be of most practical service to the average teacher are more compact, and better arranged for their purpose, than the corresponding material in the London."

1881.
PREFATORY :N^0TE.
This issue is made by the direction of the National Council of tlie Con- gregational Churches assembled at St. Louis, Mo., in November last. The lateness of the date when it was ordered, aud the omission of all tables last year (rendering double work now necessary), has delayed the publication.
By order of the Council, a copy is sent to each church, and one t« each minister, by mail, postpaid.
The issue of 1879 contained iUustrations, of whose cost some complaint was made. The present issue contains still more, especially plans of churches. It should be said, (1) that the former plans proved to be of material assistance to various churches ; aud (2) that the added cost this year is far more than provided for by special donations for that pui-pose.
The addresses of the officers and committees of the National Council will be found on page 215, and of the State organizations upon page 216 and those immediately following. The addresses of officers of our benevolent societies are on pages 42-52; of the professors of the theological semi- naries, on pages 53-61.
The preparation of the Year-Book of 1882 is already commenced. It is believed that the plans now matured will secure its issue in the first week of January next. But for one State, whose date of meeting is late in the autumn, it could be issued in December, and it is decided to issue the Year- Book promptly, whether complete or otherwise.

1881.] DESIGNS IN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE.
DESIGNS IN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE.
In 1879, with the first issue of the Year-Book, we ilhistrated some nine designs for cliurches, small and large, with a view to introduce to our local and Western societies the new forms which have now become extensively adopted as embra- cing essential features in building a church. The tendency of the present age is rapidly developing towards the artistic in architecture; and in this second effort to bring to the notice of pastors and building committees some of the later forms and designs we have taken the care and trouble to illustrate, we liope that they will give them the study and thought the plans and designs merit. To buikl a house to the Lord, and invest your money in it to him, does require close study how best to do it ; how best to secure tlie greatest effect for the cost, both inside and out, and how best to secure that comfort, that beauty in unspeakable and in- animate forms, for the cost. The cost, — yes, that is the point. It is asked at once, Can we obtain the beautiful front? and we say. Why not? We show it here in these illustrations; why don't you try it? Why not let every dollar spent repre- sent a feature of strength and beauty? And here it is fully exemplified in these plans. Study them ; see how they are seati'd; notice how the people are clustered around the platform; notice the plan of the lecture rooms, in the arrangement of the doors and windows, and the embellishment of the necessary open fireplace for comfort, warmth, and ventilation. It is often asked, Why are not the prayi-r meetings better attended? Pray, what is there to attract? When evening comes round for our religious duty, in what does the attraction consist from your own warm parlors and firesides? In so many hundreds of cases, what is there beauti- ful, cosey, ci)mfi)r table, and interesting in our present lecture rooms? To solve that problem we here show how it is done. By so making these audience rooms the very picture of cheerfulness in their arrangement, having open fireplaces, the room seated with chairs or most comfortable seats, and an entire absence of that set form and stiffness to be seen everywhere. The bouse of the Lord de- mands it; demands everything beautiful, and in keeping with his holy work; everything that tends to elevate and refine our fellow beings, and teach them to appreciate the beautiful, as given to us and implanted in us by our Lord. With these few remarks we now ask you to study these plans and designs, and then go and build likewise. Write to the architect. He will tell you what, and how to do it; how to build for your means, and within your means, and how to obtain the points and results we conscientiously lay before you.
We present to building committees and trustees the accompanying plans and designs, prepared expressly for this issue of our Year-Book, and designed by the same architect as illustrated the Book of 1879, Lawrence B. Valk, of New York city. We call especial attention and examination of these plans in particular, as illustrating the points heretofore mentioned, as combining the essential features required and needed in our small churches throughout the land, and the adaptability to any kind of a location or site. The circular seating with the radiating aisles at once gives —
First, the social element of congregational worship.
Second, the advantage of several sizes in the pews, to seat three, four, five, and six persons.
Third, the inclined boivled floor, — yes, boioled, — which is the secret of the great success of these plans.
Fourth, any style of architecture will adapt itself to these plans. We show a variety of forms in this issue in the outward appearances, and our bui'ding com- mittees and trustees will now find, on reading the short descriptions of each de- sign, just what they want, or approximating to their requirements. 2
6 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR-BOOK. [1881.
The following gives the description of the church plans furnished by Lawrence B. Valk for this issue of the Year-Book. For the places where each plan may be found, see "List of Illustrations " following " Table of Contents ": —
Plan and Design No. 1. This small chixrch is 32 x 40, with two class rooms directly in front, opening into and a part of audience room; seats 220 in the pews; two vestibules. The class rooms are 12 x 15, or there can be only one room 12 x 32 in front. The partition is of vertical sliding sash, and when down this makes one or two fine, pleasant meeting rooms. Every attention is paid to the heating by stoves of a new make and pat- tern, and securing a perfect circulation and ventilation. This church is a frame building, on a stone foundation; small cellar; shingle roof; gables and tower shingled; open belfry; enamelled glass; pews pine; interior with wood ceiling; side walls plastered, and its cost complete was $3,670.
Plan and Design No. 2.
This building is also a frame structure; aadience room 36 x 30, with a fine, beautiful class or prayer meeting room in front, 13 x 22, opening into audience room, with sliding sash; and off the rear end are two more fine class rooms, each 11 x 15, with sliding sashes. This plan seats 190 in pews, and was designed espe- cially to accommodate a large Sunday school ; coastructiou same as No. 1; cost complete was $4,800
In both Nos. 1 and 2 the outside is painted two coats; inside is filled, rubbed, and hard oil finished.
Plan and Design No. 3.
This plan is for a brick structure, with timber framing in the walls of gables ; size of audience room, 28 x 50; seats 227 in pews; has a fine lecture room in front, 14 X 20, used for infant class ; two vestibules, each 9 x 12; choir and organ back of pulpit; shingle roof; the walls are built hollow, of local hard brick, rubbed, stained, and pencilled black; open bell-cote; arched wood ceiling; all outside woodwork is painted two coats; inside is filled, rubbed, and hard oil finished. Cost complete was $3,780.
Plan and Design No. 4.
This is for a brick building; size, 36 x 47; seats 240 in the pews; two vestibules, and a beautiful lecture and Sunday-school room, opening full into and a part of the audience room, as needed; the organ is back of the pulpit; choir nnd key- board down in front; roof is slate; ceiling arched, of wood; cost complete was
$4,875.
Plan and Design No. 5.
This church was designed for a frame structure, slate roof, stone foundation; size, 40 x 45; seats 275 in the pews, which are of ash and cherry; organ is back of pulpit; choir is down in front in first three middle pews. The peculiarity of this design is the open clear-story to a beautiful arched ceiling of iron (now so much used, as there is nothing yet used or invented equal to it). It is heated by one fur- nace in a small cellar. The cost of this building was $5,200.
Plan and Design No. 6. This beautiful church is a frame building; the size is 40 x 50 to audience room, seating 325 in the pews of ash and cherry; slate roof; iron ceiling, in groined arches; Sunday-school adjoins and opens into audience room; choir back of pul- pit, with organ; and in all its appointments every feature is first-class; cost was $7,800. This price included two furnaces, lighting-by-gas machine and fixtures, and Valk's complete system of ventilation, which is in all of these designs, in part or wholly so.
1881.] CHURCH AT ST. JOHNSBURY, VT. 7
Plan and Design No. 7. This is for a stone structure, built of stone local to the place, laid up in rock- face ashlar work, in square courses. The audience room is 56 x 60, seating 436 in the pews. The roof is of slate; the ceiling iron, in groined arches, decorated. The vestry or Sunday-school is 20x60, and is divided into three rooms, the middle one opening into church. We have a stufly; three fine vestibules; organ back of pulpit; choir down in front; and I will here say that this arrangement of having choir down in front is rapidly advancing in its perfect adaptation to congrega- tional and social worship in this form of plan. The cost of this structure com - plete was $11,870, including decorating, heating, lighting, and ventilating.
Plan and Design No. 8. This elegant structure is also of stone, with a tall spire 120 feet ; walls of local blue granite, rock-face, Ohio stone trimmings, sills, lintels, caps, etc. ; slate roof; stained glass; hard-wood, ash, and cherry for all internal finish; iron arched ceiling, decorated, and decorated side walls; size of audience room, 60x60; seats 525 in comfortable sittings; and choir and organ back of pulpit; vestry adjoins the church, opens into it, and has a fine lecture room, 20 x41; parlor, 17 x 26; kitchen, 9x15; study, 9x14, and every convenience, with heating, lighting, ven- tilating, everything to make it complete. The co-t was $28,000.
NORTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, ST. JOHNSBURY, VT.
[See opposite title-page.]
We quot« from the pastor's Statement at the dedication: —
" At a meeting of the congregation called for Monday, April 9, 1877, the com- mittee reported $37,114.68 subscribed. Thereupon, a building committee was ap- pointed, of which Gov. Horace Fairbanks was made chairman. . . .
" Before winter set in the foundation was completed, and the ground brought up nearly to grade. For this, and to complete the grading, 3,514 cartloads of earth were requisite.
"We had thus far expected to build of brick. During the winter the desire be- came general and strong to employ stone. At length, as the season drew near for renewing operations, Messrs. Horace and Franklin Fairbanks made to the build- ing committee this proposition: To build a stone church, substantially according to the plans before us, for the subscriptions, the committee keeping the amount good as nearly as possible, and the old house. Such an offer was of course ac- cepted, and the opening spring, 1878, witnessed the vigorous renewal of operations. The stone selected was the Isle La Motte marble. It was brought by boat to Ma- quam Bay, and thence across the State by rail. The walls are backed with brick. The main partitions are also of brick.
" Sept. 16, the corner stone was laid. Before another winter set in the chapel walls were up and covered, and those of the main building had reached the eaves. The dimensions of this house are as follows : Length of audience room on the floor, 76 feet; including gallery, 90 feet; breadth, 56 feet; do. including transepts (each 35 by 9), 74 feet; height, 42 feet. Dimensions of chapel, includ- ing parlors, 73 by 35 feet. All these are inside measurements. Entire length outside, 162 feet. Height of turret from the ground, 140 feet.
"The contract for building was made with E & T. Fairbanks & Co., who pro- posed to take the subscriptions pledged, and the old house when the church was through with it, and erect a new one substantially according to the plan adopted by the building committee. This has been done, and the beautiful edifice dedi- cated to-day is free from debt."
The cost is not made public.

Our Present Field, as reported in 1880, includes seventeen missions, ths sta- tistics of which for a single year are exceedingly instructive, illustrating both the breadth and variety of our work. Thi.s work includes direct evangelistic effort through missionaries and native helpers; an immense educational trust extend- ing from th^- primary school to the college and theological seminary; Sunday- school instruction; the preparation, publication, and circulation in diff<^rent lan- guages of books, tracts, and newspapers; a-^sistance in the erection of building.s for churches and schools; grants in aid to feeble churches and to native home missionary societies; the humane service of missionary physicians, sometimes in the care of large dispensaries and hospitals; also charitable ministry, coiitinu(ms and varied, to the sick, the poor, and the oppressed. All these departments upon the foreign field are economically managed under the one efficient and ex- perienced administration of the American B^ard.
OuK Prese.vt Force, now occupying seven hundred and nineteen stations and out-stations, numbers but one hundred and forty-seven ordained missionarins. of whom seven are physicians, and two hundred and fifty assistant missionaries, making a total from this country of three hundred and ninety-seven. Our na- tive force is more than thrice this number, a total of 1,427, of whom 4(35 are na- tive pastors, preachers, and catechists.
Our Native Churches, two hundred and seventy-three in number, not in- cluding those of the Hawaiian Islands, enroll nearly seventeen thousand mem- bers, of which nam ler over nineteen hundred were received last year, over fifty- seven hundred during the last three ye irs, on coiifes-^iou of their faith in Clirist.
Our Training and Thboi>ogical Schools, including station classes, twenty- nine in number, are giving instruction to nearly twelve hundred young men, many of them fitting for the Christian Ministry.
Our Girls' Schools, of the higher order, thirty-eight in number, enroll over thirteen hundred pupils, many of them fitting to be teachers, many of them to be Christian wives and mothers, constituting the educational power of Christian homes for the next generation.
Our Common Schools, seven hundred and thirty-seven in number, enroll over twenty-seven thousand pupils, making a total of over thirty thousand under Christian instruction.
Regular Do.vations from the Churches, which during the pa«t three years have fallen below the contributions of the preceding three years by more than .$100,000, need to advance at least twenty per cent in order to meet the an- nual appropriations. Upon these donations and upon ordinary legacies we must rely for the support of the regular work of the Board, the muiiirtctmt Otis be- quest having been s icredly set apart, and already to a considerable degree ex- pended, for evangelistic and edac itional enlargement, and for new missions in Africa. May we hope for a contribution, as generous as possible, not only from every church and Sunday school, but also from every individual who desires to be personally identified with this broad Christian work? Our main instrumental reliance for awakening and deepening missionary interest is upon pastors, sus- tained by their churches and Sunday-schools.
Missionary Intelligence. — For missionary intelligence read regularly The Missionary Herald and Life and Lif/ht. the Monthly Magazines of the American B )ard and of the Woman's Board of Missions; The Mission Quarterly, illustra,ted, f ir young people and Sunday schools; sketches of mis-iionary fields and familiar letters printed, not published, which can be obtained at 1 Somerset Street, Boston.
1881.] NATIONAL SOCIETIES. 43
AMERICAN COLLEGE AND EDUCATION SOCIETY.
Formed by the union, in 1874. of the " American Education Society" and the "Society for tlie Promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education." The Americnn Education Society was organized and received its chaiter from Massa- chusetts in the year 181fi. The College Society, as the other organization was popularly called, was formed in 184.3. It was for years a voluntary association without a charter. In 1872 it received a charter also from tlie State of Massa- chusetts. These two organizations were brought together under a new charter from the same State, in ^lay, 1874,
OFFICERS, 1880-81.
President. — Charles Benedict, "Waterhury. Conn.
Vice-Presidevt. — Samufl Holmes, New York city.
Secretary. — Rev. Increase N. Tarbox, d. d., Boston.
Ti'eaavrer. — James M. Gordon, Esq., Boston.
Assistant Treasurer. — Rev. A. H. Clapp, d. d., Bible House, New York.
OflSce of the Society, No. 10 Congregational House, Boston.
Income of the Society for year ending April 30, 1880, $ri4,0!)7.47. Of this amount .'? .38,083.15 was devoted to the help of Western institutions, and $^21,800 was ap])ropriated to young mcTi in colleges and theological seminaries, studying for the ministry. The babince was for current expenses.
In both departments tlie Society has had a large agency in the formation of society throughout the great West. The men who were pioneers in the work of preaching the gospel in the new settlements. :ind in the founding of churches and schools, were largely educated by this Society. The colleges which are now among the foremost in these Westprn fields were largely built iip by the same agency.
The whole number of yoiing men assisted by the Society in their studies for the ministry since 1816 is 05,800. The institutions at the West which have been assisted by the Socipty since 1843 are the following, viz.: Western Reserve, Illi- nois, Wabash, and Marietta Colleges, and L-,ine Theological Seminary. These five are the institutions which the Society took under its care at the hegiiming, in 1843. Tho^e which have since been received on the list are Knox, Beloit, Tliayer, Wittenberg, Oberlin, and Berea Colleges, the C<>lles:e of California, Pa^ cific University, Olivet, Ripon, Iowa, Carelton, Doane, Drury, Washburn, and Colorado Collejres, and Pacific Tlieologioal Seminary.
The ten last named are still upon the Society's list.
The number of young men now receiving assistance from the Society is 280.
At the time when the Education Society began its work of helping young men into the Christian ministry in the year ISiO, the condition of things in this coun- try was very peculiar. The grent movement of puiigration toward the West was setting in with strength. The American Board had been organized a few years before, and the cause of Foreign Missions was taking strong hold upon the churches. But " the laborers were few." Ever since the close of the Revolu- tionary war, the churches had been in a confused and preoccupied state, and the numher of men coming forward for the work of the ministry was alarmingly small. It was in such a state of things that this Society l)egan its enterprise. Throuch the aid thus afforded, and through the impulses thus imparted, a host of lining preachers was raised nji to go with the moving colonies out into the fields of the West, or to go far hence to the Gentiles to proclaim the Gospel of Salvation through Jesus Christ. A work of inestimable importance for the Chrisitianizinsj and civilizing of our own land was accomplished by this instru- mentality. The ministers raised up by this Society became to a large extent the pioneers in the way of founding churches, schools, colleges throughout all those Western fields, while in foreign lands half the missionaries laboring under the care of the American Board had been brought forward iu the same way.

THE AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION
"Was organized May 25, 1853, at Boston, and received its charter from the Massa- chusetts Legislature, April 12, 1854. Its present ofScers, in part, are: —
Samufl D. Warren, Boston, President.
RuFas S. Frost, Boston, Chairmon of Board of Directors,
Samuel T. Snow, Esq., Boston, Treasurer.
Rev. Isaac P. Langworthy, d. d., Boston, Corresponding Secretary and
Lihrarifin. Miss Maky E. Stone, Boston, Assistant Librarian. Rev. Danieij P. Noyes, Wilmington, Mass., Recording Secretary.
The object of this Association is " to establish and perpetuate the religious history and literature of New England, and for the erection of a suitable building for the acconnnodation of the same, and for the iise of charitnble societies; also to do such acts as may promote the interests of Congregational churches," etc.
Its library is intended for reference, having as it^ specialties everything pub- lished by the Pilgrims and Puritans, and their predecessors, contfmporaries, and successors, which states or illustrates the principles and polity of Congregational- ism, its history, its doctrines, its influence, and indeed the same things in regard to every denomination: thus everything ecclesiastical, — theology, controversy, results of councils, sermons, church manuals, minutes of religious bodies, every one; Year Books, and all such like; also all local histories, county. State, and United States histories, genealogies centennial, ordination, funeral, and all histor- ical sermons, all commentaries on the Scriptures, every biography, national, State, and municipal statistics, printed reports of all kinds, catalogues, obituai-y records, and inausrurals of all our literary institutions, together with any manuscripts, autographs, or mementoes which relate to the objects above named.
On the 20th of May, 1880, tlie library had 27,549 books — f>,03!) of which were duplicates — and over 120,000 pamjdilets, including duplicates secured almost exclusively by gifts, as there has never been a dollar appropriated from the building fund with which to buy a book, nor can there be until the present onerous debt is greatly reduced. Duplicates furnish a basis for exchanges, for which the librarian has large facilities, and of which he avails himself to the uttermost; and in this way he can assure all kindly disposed persons that they can send him no printed paniphlet or book that he cannot make useful here.
The library has tiow more of the early publications of our country and of the mother country which illustrate the principles and relate the deeds of our first settlers than any other public library in the United States; but it is still lacking verv mitch of this sort that is scattered here and there, essentially useless where it is, but would be invaluable here; also much more of the later and contempora- neous issues of the same general character found in every parish and town, more or less. Now, let these be collected and sent here by some good friend in each church, as a few have already done.
The Congregational House is a four-story granite structure, one hundred and three feet on Beacon Street, and ninety-three feet on Somerset Street, having stores on lower floors on Beacon Street, and rooms above for the A. B. C. F. M., the Woman's Boaril, the American College and Education Society, American Missionary Association, City Missionary Society, Woman's Home Missionary Society, Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, American Peace Society, the Congreqationalist, etc. The fire-proof library room is in a connected building; accessible, light, pleasant, safe, and has capacity for more than 100,000 volumes.
The great want of this Association is the hearty sympathy and co-operation of every Congregationalist, expressed in "one fair contribution" from each of the more than 2,300 Congregational churches that have not made it; the gift of at least one dollar from every member, to be made a life-member of the Association; the gift of the twenties fifties, hundreds, and thousands from the more highly favored; testamentary gifts, if not earlier bestowed. Then this great property would be disencumbered, and all our strictly benevolent societies would be forever afterwards free from rent, thus insuring a good dividend to the cause of Christ upon every benefaction.
Let all remittances and communications be addressed to
ISAAC P. LANGWORTHY, Cor. Secretary,
Boston, Mass.

AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL UNION.
President. — Rev. Edwin B. Webb, d. d.. Boston, Mass. Corresponding Secrelary. — Rev. "Wm. B. Brown, 59 Bible House, N. Y, Treasurer. — Prof. N. A. Calkins, 59 Bible House, N. Y.
The American Congregational Union was organized in 1853. Its chief work has been to aid feeble churches in building houses of worship. It has helped to build, East and West, chiefly West (including those aided from the Albany Fund), 1,110 meeting-housi'S, and is now pledged, Jan. 1, 1881, to sixty-sevt^n others; which is many more than one third of all the Congreg.itional Churches in the land. Most of these sanctuaries could not have been built at all, and none of Ihem when they were, but for the aid furnished by the Union. The aggregate sum expend' d in this church-building wurk is aboiit $1,000,000. This money is protected from )oss to the Congregational cause should the churches aided fail, or cease to be evangelical Congregational Churches. Our protection now, and for years past, is in the form of a trust mortgage on the whole property — carefully drawn, executed, and recorded — on payment of last bills. We have tlius accu- mulated claims of one sort or another upon upwards of .f .3,000,000 of property. Nothing can be lost should any of the churches fail, as, for one reason or another, they sometimes do. In the last few years we have received bark from churches that have failed or gone over toother denominations, over .§50,000. If all tlie money given by Congregational churches and people to the work of <hurch- building could go to its destination thi'ough the Union, not a dollar would be lost. Every house built is dedicated free of debt; and our trust-mortgages, besides protecting the gifts, keep the churches from running in debt afterwards, as they cannot borrow money on their property because of our underlying claim.
Churches, if they are to live and piosper, must have sanctuaries. As well might famil'es live in the streets, or business men carry on business without offices, factories, store-rooms, or farms, as for churches io live grow, ;ind become strong and useful without houses of worship. It is coming to be more and more recog- nized that, as a rule, if a church cannot be housi-d it should not be organized. And as a rule, too, new churches, in a new country, must have a little help if they build early, aud they must build early if they are to build at all. A meeting-house often more than doubles, at once, the strength of a congregation, and adds from 50 to 100 per cent to the efficiency of the minister. lu no other way can $500 do so much for a new and struggling church as to secure for it a neat bouse of worship; and to .secure this by .'~o stimulating and developing the energies of the peo|de as to make church-building a possibility, aud the church a nucleus around which the neighborhood may crystallize.
The new regions on the frontier advancing westward are opening as they never did before; ami the little churches, everywhere organizing, are calling on the Union almost daily for aid in building roof-trees over their heads. They need missionaries; but the missionary must have a meeting-house to preach in. This is not simply desirable; it is imperative. A missionarj' can do no more without a meeting-bouse than a meeting-! ouse can do without a missionary. And yet one half of the missionary churches, west of the Missouri, are houseless.
The funds of the Congregational Union, though increasing, are utterly insuffi- cient to meet the demand. While our sixty-seven pledges in advance, amounting to about $28,000. are beyond our receipts, we should yet be glad to pay a large pro- portion of them immediately, and are only waiting for the terms, mutually agreed upon, to be complied with. We do rot pledge what we shall not promptly pay.
The late National Council at St Louis voted, unanimously, recommeiidingthat the Congregational churches contribute annually to tlie Congregational Union not less than $100,000. With this sum, and no less, the most urgent calls can be promptly met. If every Congregational church in the land will put this cause on its list of annual contributions, will make it the peer of the other <jreat benevo- lent societies, and give to it as generously, then the recommendation of the Na- tional Council will be met, and not the Union only, but all the other great interests interlinked with church-building, and dependent on it for their success, will be advanced as well. In the name of the little churches on the border lines that nmst have help or d'e, in behalf of the work of Home Missions that cannot prosper without meeting-houses, iind of Foreign Missions also, in the interests of our own denomination, aud especially of our common country aud the world, we make our appeal.

The Home Missionary, a monthly magazine, published by the Society, at sixty cents a year, including postage, gives n running account of the progress of the work in all parts of the country, cliiefly from the pens of the superintendents and missionaries personally engaged in it. An Annual Report sums up the results of the year.
The Leaflet, a monthly tract, price five dollars a hundred for the year, is devoted to the Sunday-school department of the Society's work.
For nearly fifty-five years the Society has been organizing churches, mainly in the West, and aiding in the support of their ministers till those churches are able to assume the whole expense. Its missionaries have from the first organized Sunday schools, provided proper teachers for them, and by watchful oversight have secured their permanence and highest usefulness. The Society now also raises and disburses money for supplying these missionary Sunday schools with libraries and other helps.
In connection with the labor of its missionaries, 4,022 churches have been or- ganized, and 2,053 have come to self-support. It has collected and disbursed in cash about $8,740,000, and in clothing, books, and other supplies, largely the offer- ings of Christian women, more than .*1,238,000 : in all, over $9,970,000. The ad- ditions to the churches have been 297,3(i8 Schools, academies, and colleges in nearly every Western State are among the direct fruits of the work.
The number of missionaries employed in its fifty-fourth year (1879-80) was 1,015, nearly fiSO of them in States and Territories west of New York. They preached regularly in 2,308 stations, and at frequent intervals in many hundreds more. The number of Sunday-school and Bible-class scholars was about 96,724. The additions to the churches were 5,598 — 2,940 of them on profession of faith. Eighty-six churches were/ organized, and forty-four came to self-support. Last year's receipts were, in cash, $266,720.41; in supplies, $60,000 : in all, about $326,741.
At least .$350,000 in cash are needed this year to sustain the missionaries now in the field, and to take up only such new work as the providence and Spirit of God imperatively call upon the Society to assume at once. For securing the means essential to the carrying on of this great work the Society depends, under God, on the zealous co-ojieration of the pastors and members of the Congregational churches of the laud.
