AIM AND WORK.
To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy
with the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has
devoted its main efforts to preparing the =FREEDMEN= for their
duties as citizens and Christians in America and as missionaries
in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the
caste-persecuted =CHINESE= in America, and to co-operate with
the Government in its humane and Christian policy towards the
=INDIANS=. It has also a mission in =AFRICA=.
STATISTICS.
=CHURCHES=: _In the South_—In Va., 1; N. C., 5; S. C., 2; Ga., 11;
Ky., 5; Tenn., 4; Ala., 12; La., 12; Miss., 1; Kansas, 2; Texas, 4.
_Africa_, 1. _Among the Indians_, 2. Total, 62.
=INSTITUTIONS FOUNDED, FOSTERED OR SUSTAINED IN THE SOUTH.=
_Chartered_: Hampton, Va.; Berea, Ky.; Talladega, Ala.; Atlanta,
Ga.; Nashville, Tenn., Tougaloo, Miss.; New Orleans, La.; and
Austin, Texas, 8; _Graded or Normal Schools_: at Wilmington,
Raleigh, N. C.; Charleston, Greenwood, S. C.; Macon, Atlanta, Ga.;
Montgomery, Mobile, Athens, Selma, Ala; Memphis, Tenn.; 11; _Other
Schools_, 7. Total, 26.
=TEACHERS, MISSIONARIES AND ASSISTANTS=—Among the Freedmen, 209;
among the Chinese, 17; among the Indians, 16; in foreign lands, 10.
Total, 252. =STUDENTS=—In Theology, 74; Law, 8; in College Course,
79; in other studies, 5,243. Total, 5,404. Scholars taught by
former pupils of our schools, estimated at 100,000. =INDIANS= under
the care of the Association, 13,000.
WANTS.
1. A steady =INCREASE= of regular income to keep pace with the
growing work in the South. This increase can only be reached by
_regular_ and _larger_ contributions from the churches—the feeble
as well as the strong.
2. =ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS= for our higher educational institutions,
to accomodate the increasing numbers of students; =MEETING HOUSES=,
for the new churches we are organizing; =MORE MINISTERS=, cultured
and pious, for these churches.
3. =HELP FOR YOUNG MEN=, to be educated as ministers here and
missionaries to Africa—a pressing want.
Before sending boxes, always correspond with the nearest A. M. A.
office, as below.

who, when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of the
“American Missionary Association,” New York City, to be applied
under the direction of the Executive Committee of the Association,
to its charitable uses and purposes.”
The Will should be attested by three witnesses [in some States
three are required—in other States only two], who should write
against their names, their places of residence [if in cities,
their street and number]. The following form of attestation will
answer for every State in the Union: “Signed, sealed, published
and declared by the said [A. B.] as his last Will and Testament,
in presence of us, who, at the request of the said A. B., and in
his presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto
subscribed our names as witnesses.” In some States, it is required
that the Will should be made at least two months before the death
of the testator.

FOLLOWING CERTIFICATE HAS JUST BEEN

ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
=THIS IS TO CERTIFY=, _that Fairbanks’ Scales have been used at
H. S. M.’s Custom House for many years, and have given every
satisfaction, especially so far as durability is concerned, as it
is almost a wonder that they are not broken and smashed long ago,
considering the rough usage they are getting on board of boats,
lighters, sailing ships, steamers, on wharves and in warehouses,
where they have to be transported daily, having, for instance,
weighed about five millions of piculs Rice last year, with only
about a dozen scales, and without one accident._

TO CHRISTIAN FAMILIES.
I respectfully invite the patronage of families for the NEW YORK
WEEKLY WITNESS, a paper specially adapted to interest them. It
has a very full synopsis of the news of the week, with the daily
comments thereon of the leading New York Dailies. It has also
very full and reliable market and financial reports, got up for
it with great care. It has many columns of family reading of the
most interesting character; and a Home Department, containing three
columns of letters from its lady readers, and one column of letters
from the children. It has a report of every day’s Fulton Street
Prayer-Meeting, which has been kept up from its first number, and
occasional Sermons by celebrated preachers. It has departments
for Agriculture, the Sunday-school Lesson, Temperance and general
correspondence, much of which is from the West and South, setting
forth the advantages of different States and Territories for
immigrants. The WITNESS is thoroughly evangelical, and a strenuous
advocate of total abstinence from intoxicating drinks and tobacco.
It is entirely independent of party or sect—aiming only to promote
the best interests of the people for time and eternity. To this
end it advocates Christian missions, Sabbath observance, and every
good cause. The WEEKLY WITNESS has attained the unparalleled
circulation, for a religious journal, of 85,000, and aims at a
much larger circulation. The price is only $1.50 a year, or 50
cents for four months, payable in advance, and the paper stops when
subscription expires. On 1st January, 1878, it began its seventh
year, in which I hope the circulation will be doubled. Specimen
copies will be sent free on application.
