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.
