spirit of benevolence in the churches has risen with the demand made upon it. The influence which this fact is calculated to exert on the future operations of the Board, all can imagine. It will encourage them "to attempt great things and to expect great things." The receipts for the year amount to $47,496,29-exceeding the receipts of the preceding year by $15,687,18. Of this sum, it gives us great pleasure to say that two thousand five hundred dollars were contributed by the American Bible Society; and two thousand five hundred by the American Tract Society. These noble institutions are now beginning to contemplate the field as the WORLD; and the former, especially, will not consider its object achieved, till every family on earth, which can read, is in possession of a copy of the sacred scriptures. Immediately after the payment of the above, they appropriated a similar amount for the year to come, provided they were sustained by the public in raising it. Individuals, churches and auxiliary societies also, have contributed with a noble generosity. Some have given, from whom nothing had been received before; and others have more than doubled their wonted communications, as may be seen by reference to the Treasurer's report. The actual payments from the treasury in the same time amount to $22,711, 66. Of this sum, only about one thousand dollars have been paid, towards meeting our large expenses in Burmah, as drafts from the missionaries in that country have not yet arrived. When they shall be received and liquidated, it will leave but a small balance of the proceeds of the year with which to continue our vastly extended operations. We must, therefore, appeal to the same sources from whence we have hitherto derived supplies, and, looking to heaven for its special blessing, trust they will not disappoint us. ANIMATING REVIEW. We cannot survey the progress made by the Board in extending its fields and multiplying the number of cultivators since the last anniversary, without emotions of joy and thanksgiving to God. The Board have experienced such tokens of the divine approbation, as tend to assure them of final success. Never before were they able to obtain but a scanty supply of laborers; but the past year, they have taken into actual employ more than the whole number previously under appointment. They have commenced four new stations, established four new churches, and received to baptism, on profession of faith, more than four hundred converts. The calls, however, are still urgent and deeply affecting. There is scarcely an arrival from either of the missions, which is unaccompanied by earnest request for further assistance. Let no one, therefore, imagine that his duty is done. Only let him survey the field which is white unto the harvest, and gather to himself fresh incentives to go forth and do with his might what his hand findeth to do. "He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal." LUCIUS BOLLES, Corresponding Secretary. The General Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States, for 1832.
