THE THIRTY-FOURTH VOLUME
OF THE
American Missionary,
1880.
We have been gratified with the constant tokens of the increasing
appreciation of the MISSIONARY during the past year, and purpose to
spare no effort to make its pages of still greater value to those
interested in the work which it records.
Shall we not have a largely increased subscription list for 1880?
A little effort on the part of our friends, when making their own
remittances, to induce their neighbors to unite in forming Clubs,
will easily double our list, and thus widen the influence of our
Magazine, and aid in the enlargement of our work.
Under the editorial supervision of Rev. C. C. PAINTER, aided by the
steady contributions of our intelligent Missionaries and teachers
in all parts of the field, and with occasional communications from
careful observers and thinkers elsewhere, the AMERICAN MISSIONARY
furnishes a vivid and reliable picture of the work going forward
among the Indians, the Chinamen on the Pacific Coast, and the
Freedmen as citizens in the South and as Missionaries in Africa.
It will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting
the races among which it labors, and will give monthly summary of
current events relating to their welfare and progress.
Patriots and Christians interested in the education and
Christianizing of these despised races are asked to read it, and
assist in its circulation. Begin with the next number and the new
year. The price is only Fifty Cents per annum.
The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the
persons indicated on page 318.
Donations and subscriptions should be sent to
H. W. HUBBARD, Treasurer,
56 Reade Street, New York.

TO ADVERTISERS.
Special attention is invited to the advertising department of the
AMERICAN MISSIONARY. Among its regular readers are thousands of
Ministers of the Gospel, Presidents, Professors and Teachers in
Colleges, Theological Seminaries and Schools; it is, therefore,
a specially valuable medium for advertising Books, Periodicals,
Newspapers, Maps, Charts, Institutions of Learning, Church
Furniture, Bells, Household Goods, &c.
Advertisers are requested to note the moderate price charged for
space in its columns, considering the extent and character of its
circulation.
Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order
to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in
relation to advertising should be addressed to
THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT,
56 Reade Street, New York.

☞ Our friends who are interested in the Advertising Department of
the “American Missionary” can aid us in this respect by mentioning,
when ordering goods, that they saw them advertised in our Magazine.
ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE
AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
* * * * *
The AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION will hold its Thirty-fourth
Annual Meeting in the City of Norwich, Conn., on the 12th, 13th and
14th of October, 1880. The several sessions of this meeting will be
held in the Broadway Church, Rev. L. T. CHAMBERLAIN, D. D., Pastor.
The opening session will begin at 3 o’clock P. M. of Tuesday, the
12th, when the Report of the Executive Committee will be read. In
the evening, at 7.30, the Annual Sermon will be preached by the
Rev. WM. M. TAYLOR, D. D., of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York
City. The citizens of Norwich will receive and cordially entertain
all friends of the work of the Association who, desiring to attend,
shall make application for entertainment before the first day of
October. The Chairman of the Committee of Entertainment, CHARLES E.
DYER, to whom all such applications should be addressed, will send
out, on the above date, cards of hospitality, introducing those who
have made known their purpose of attending, to the host by whom
they will be entertained. Those receiving such cards will please
communicate at once with the person to whom they are introduced,
announcing their purpose of attending, at what time they will
arrive in Norwich, and whether they will remain during the meeting,
so that hospitality may have no unnecessary burdens to bear. Those
failing to receive such a card by the 6th of October will please
inform the Chairman of the fact. An early application will greatly
lighten the burden of the Committee, and will be duly appreciated.
Those paying full fare one way to attend the meeting, will be
furnished free return tickets on the following railroads: New York
and New England, New London and Northern, Norwich and Worcester,
Worcester and Nashua, Stonington, Boston and Providence, Boston,
Barre and Gardner, Passumpsic, Central Vermont; and by steamers of
the Norwich and New York Line. The Conn. River Road will sell round
trip tickets to those who attend the meeting.
Any needed additional information will be given to those applying
to the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, Norwich, Conn.
W. S. PALMER,
Chairman Committee of Arrangements.
