NO. 2. * * * * * American Missionary Association. * * * * * By the time this number of the MISSIONARY reaches our readers our Annual Report for 1880 will be through the press. We shall be happy to forward it to any of our friends who will send us their name and address, signifying their desire to have it. * * * * * This number of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY contains a complete list of the names of the persons appointed for the current year to the different fields where this Association carries on its work at home and abroad. We commend the work and the workers to the great Lord of the harvest, and to all those who utter the prayer He has taught us to offer, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heaven.” * * * * * It is the belief of this Association that conversion is the proper door into the kingdom of science, as well as to the kingdom of Heaven. Our teachers and pastors, therefore, seek to bring those who come under their instruction to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, in order that they may be qualified to know aright and properly appropriate all knowledge. We are glad, therefore, to be able to refer our readers to letters from the field, in this number, as evidence that revival work is going on at different points throughout the South. * * * * *
