The manufacture of these widely known instruments was begun in 1846, and American enterprise and skill have steadily developed this business until now it is the largest Reed Organ manufactory in the world. The unsolicited testimony of the most careful judges places the =ESTEY ORGAN= at the head of all others of its class. Send for the new illustrated catalogue. * * * * * OUR ANNUAL MEETING. The Thirty-third Annual Meeting of the American Missionary Association will be held in Chicago, Illinois, by invitation of the Congregational churches of that city, commencing on Tuesday, October 28th, at 3 P. M. The local Committee of Arrangements, representing each Congregational Church in the city, has already at a preliminary meeting decided to hold the meetings in the First Congregational Church (Rev. E. P. Goodwin, D. D., Pastor), which has been offered with most cordial unanimity for the use of the Anniversary. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D.D., of the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, N. Y. Further announcements of arrangements and programme will be made later. * * * * * YESTERDAY’S WORK. We point to the record of results of our work among the Freedmen during the last fifteen years, as indicating a degree of progress and an amount of fruitage rarely equaled in the same length of time. We base our claims for generous gifts, now and in the years to come, upon this showing, confident that this is the best argument we can make. Is it too much to claim to have been faithful over a few things, or to ask that we be trusted with what may be needful for the many which are at hand? * * * * * TO-MORROW’S WANT.
