ANNUAL MEETING.

The next Annual Meeting of the American Missionary Association will be
held at Chicago, Ill., in the New England Church, commencing at three
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, October 29th. Rev. R.R. Meredith, D.D., of
Brooklyn, N.Y., will preach the sermon. Fuller details regarding the
reception of delegates and their entertainment, together with rates at
hotels, and railroad reductions, will be found on the last page of the
cover.

We are anxious that the Churches, Local Conferences and State
Associations should be fully represented at the meeting. This
Association is the almoner of their bounty and seeks their aid and
counsel at its annual gatherings. We believe that the work of the past
year will not only meet their approval, but increase their enthusiasm
for pushing forward with renewed interest what still lies before us. We
request the pastors of churches to secure the appointment of delegates,
and all local Conferences and State Associations whose meetings have not
been held, to name their delegates.

For notice of Woman's Meeting, see page 295.
