In addition to this, the work for Chinese mothers and children cost us $557.70, a little less than one-half of what we could have used with rigid economy and good results.

The statistics of the work show twenty-one missions in which schools have been maintained, as follows: Fourteen during the entire year, except as recesses were taken at Chinese and American holidays; four with but one month's vacation; two during the four months that the fruit men have comparative leisure, and one--that at Watsonville--a new mission which commenced work four months before the fiscal year closed.

The total number of months of labor was 431.

The aggregate enrollment of Christian Chinese connected with our missions, so far as reported, is 596. The number concerning whom we may hope that they have been led to Christ during the past year is 60, making the total number of whom this hope has been cherished, and who have given "credible evidence of faith in Christ" from the first more than 1,100. How many of these will appear in the church of the first-born "clothed in white robes" it is not for human judgment to decide. Sometimes the human, the frail, we may almost say the _devilish_ crops out in a way to put hope and courage to a test that is terribly severe, but never anything to compare with that which Paul had to confront in those at Corinth, whom he nevertheless denominates "the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints." The Good Shepherd knows his sheep, and those thus given to him by the Father shall _never perish_, neither shall anyone pluck them out of his Father's hands.

The limits of our space forbid that we follow the report into its accounts of the year's work in each one of these missions. Two points deserve special notice. One of these has been referred to in a previous number of THE MISSIONARY. More attention must be given to preaching in the street and in our schoolrooms, which make very comfortable little chapels. The other is that many Chinese children--native-born Americans--are growing up not only in the great centers, but also in interior villages, and we must open the doors of our schools to these; make such arrangements as will secure their attendance, and so bring it about by the grace of God that they grow up not in darkness, but under the healing beams of Him who said, "I am the light of the world."

OFFERINGS OF OUR BRETHREN.--It is not possible to segregate their gifts to our treasury with perfect accuracy, but we are within the truth when we place them at $1,905.40. In addition to this they have given for the local expenses of their several Associations $1,134.10, for Missionary Work in China $675.65, for their Worldwide Missionary Society (through the American Board) $63.60, and for relief to needy brethren and others $358, making an aggregate of $5,136.75 as their offerings for the year; and this, be it understood when the pressure of the times cannot but be felt by them, on the average, more severely than by any others. The goods a Chinaman has to sell are likely to be those that in hard times we dispense with. If wages are to be reduced, the reduction begins with the Chinaman. It is no great sin in the view of many to steer clear of paying a Chinaman. If anybody is to be dismissed from service when economy begins it is the Chinaman. We cannot but think that under the circumstances the financial showing at this point is highly creditable.

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNIONS.

THANK-OFFERING DAY, APRIL 12.

It is heart cheering that the Women's Unions have planned for thought, prayer and special offerings on Friday, April 12, or Easter Sunday, the 14th, the day which, in the words of the resolution adopted by the State organizations at their annual meeting, "commemorates Christ's gift of Himself to the world."

Surely liberal offerings must follow sober thought and earnest prayer for the redemption of those whom God seems to have given into our special charge here in our own country. Our Lord Himself said, "Ye have done it unto Me." What if it does cost self-denial? Shall we not plan more liberally for Christ than for self?

"How much owest thou my Lord? That is the question which the giver
has to face. Sometimes in commercial circles a man will assign a
debt that is owing to him to someone else out of friendship that
he may take it when he has collected and use it for himself. Much
in the same way, I think, the Lord Jesus has assigned a large
portion of the debt which we owe to Him to those who are around
us, to the unconverted at our doors, to these races among whom we
labor. Let us see in those for whom appeal is made to us through
this Association the representatives of Christ."

DR. WILLIAM M. TAYLOR.

"When men know the grace of Christ they will never feel that they
have given Him enough. Until they know it they will never give
_Him_ anything. They may contribute to keep up appearances so as
to be like other people or to gain a reputation, but they will
never give to _Him_ until they know His grace. Before men give to
Christ they must receive from Him, and when they have received
Christ Himself into their hearts they will be impelled to give,
_im_pelled not _com_pelled; for the delight and the duty will
co-exist, or rather the duty will be merged in the delight."

DR. WILLIAM M. TAYLOR.

EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS DELIVERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.

BY HON. FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

I esteem it an honor to have been invited to speak a word in this presence upon this very interesting occasion. I am here, however, not so much to deliver an address, or to make a speech, as to put myself on record. I am here to pay a debt long due. I have wished, by my presence here, to emphasize my gratitude to the members and friends of this Association for the beneficent work which they have done, and which they are still doing, for the people with whom I am identified. I would not disparage the labors of any other organization in this direction inside of the church. I am thankful to all such, but I know of none to which the colored people of the Southern States are more indebted for effective service than to this American Missionary Association.

Long before the abolition of slavery, this organization bore a consistent and faithful testimony against that stupendous wrong. When it was abolished this Association did not disband nor discontinue its work, but went forward as earnestly as ever to advance, enlighten and elevate the colored people of the South.

* * * * *

There is a beautiful story told about a little child in the orphanage of John Falk at Weimar. They were having supper in the dining hall, and the teacher gave thanks in the ordinary way before the children began their meals, saying, "Come, Lord Jesus, and be our guest to-night, and bless the mercies which Thou hast provided." One little boy looked up and said, "Teacher, you always ask the Lord Jesus to come, but He never comes. Will He ever come?" "Oh, yes, if you will only hold on in faith, He will be sure to come." "Very well," said the little boy, "I will set a chair beside me here to-night to be ready when He comes." And so the meal proceeded. By-and-by there came a rap at the door, and there was ushered in a poor, half-frozen apprentice. He was taken to the fire and his hands warmed. Then he was asked to partake of the meal, and where should he go but to the chair which the little boy had provided? As he sat down there the little boy looked up with a light in his eye and said, "Teacher, I see it now. The Lord Jesus was not able to come Himself, and He sent the poor man in His place. Isn't that it?"

Aye, that is just it. And so, brethren, the Lord Jesus isn't able, according to his plans for this world, to come personally yet among us, but He has sent these colored people, Chinese, Indians and heathen, to make appeal in His behalf to us, and who among us will set a chair for Him? There are many friends with whom I hardly agree who are very anxiously waiting for the appearance of the personal Christ among us, and they are wondering what they shall do to welcome Him. Would that the eyes of these brethren, and our own, too, were opened to the perception of the Christ that is already here, in the persons of those needing to be helped and educated and elevated, and that their ears could hear His words, "Inasmuch as ye do it unto one of the least of these his brethren ye do it unto Christ." That is the Christian philosophy of giving, and if a man does not feel the force of these considerations, I should be disposed to say he has not yet begun to be a Christian.

REV. WILLIAM M. TAYLOR, D.D.
