No. 12. * * * * * _American Missionary Association._ * * * * * We present our readers in this issue of the MISSIONARY, which is a double number, an account of the proceedings of the 35th Annual Meeting of this Association. For want of space we have only given the important points of most of the papers and addresses, endeavoring to preserve their spirit. The paper of Pres. E. H. Fairchild will appear in the “Weekly Witness” of Nov. 17, of which copies will be supplied gratuitously to persons applying by postal card to the author at Berea, Ky. Rev. Lysander Dickerman’s address may be looked for in the “Congregationalist” at an early date. The papers read by Miss Sawyer and Miss Emery will be reserved for mention in the January MISSIONARY. * * * * * We send this number of the MISSIONARY to some persons whose names are not among our subscribers, with the hope that they will read it, and that their interest in the work which it represents will be deepened. We believe that if any such will send us their subscription for the Magazine, they will find themselves amply rewarded for the outlay. * * * * *
