No. 10. * * * * * _American Missionary Association._ * * * * * The Thirty-fifth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary Association will be held in Worcester, Mass., commencing November 1st, at 3 P. M. For particulars see fourth page of cover and the religious press. * * * * * Our readers have already been informed of the death of Rev. K. M. Kemp of the Mendi Mission, and it now becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of his beloved wife. The latest advices inform us that their deaths were neither of them due wholly to the climate. Mrs. Kemp was a brave, true woman, whose life and example will not soon be forgotten in the field where so many had already learned to love her. * * * * * By the time this reaches our readers, Superintendent Ladd and Dr. Snow will be well on their way toward the Arthington Mission. It is their purpose to push directly for the region of the Sobat in the heart of Central Africa, with the view of locating the new mission. It will give us pleasure to keep the public informed of the movements of their expedition in this interesting portion of Africa. Two missionaries are under appointment to occupy this field at the call of the Superintendent. * * * * * We take pleasure in announcing the safe arrival of Rev. O. H. White, D. D., from England. After a continuous service of over six years of earnest labor in the mother country, he well deserves the rest which he now seeks. As Secretary of “The Freedmen’s Missions Aid Society,” he has ably represented this Association in its great work for the Negro, and has been enabled, we trust, to insure the success of the Arthington Mission, by so far interesting our British friends in this new and promising missionary enterprise, as to call forth many generous contributions toward its support. As this number of the MISSIONARY will be in the hands of our readers a few days before the close of our fiscal year, September 30th, we make this reminder to the churches and friends who have not yet made their annual offering to our treasury.
