CUSHLNG, PRINTER. 18T6. SERMON. Romans I. 14, 15. I am debtor both to the Greeks and TO THE BARBARIANS, BOTH TO THE WISE AND THE UNWISE ; SO, AS MUCH AS IN ME IS, I AM READY TO BREACH THE GOS- PEL TO YOU THAT ARE AT ROME ALSO. If secular history has been rightly defined, — philosophy teach- ing by examples, — the narratives and biographies of Holy Writ may be styled — Christianity illustrated by facts. In the structure of the Bible, not less than in its principles and prophecies, its Divine Author has given evidence both of his own wisdom and of its divinity. It abounds in characters ; not elaborately sketched in bio- graphical form, yet as boldly delineated as they are strongly marked. Good men and bad men stand on these pages as im- personations — living embodiments — of holiness and of sin. Good and evil actions, here abundantly recorded, illustrate obedience and disobedience to the divine law. Human hearts, developing both their innate and their acquired tendencies, give ample demonstration of the Scripture doctrines of depravity and re- generation. Human intellects, showing their individual pecu- liarities, present to our view on these pages, in various attractive and instructive aspects, the truth which God has taught them. What amount and clearness of didactic statement, or what fervor of appeal by the sacred writers, could we imagine to supply the place of those teachings which come to us in the biographical sketches of Adam and Cain and Abraham and Moses and Peter and Judas and Paul, and the scores of others whose sins, or sorrows, or devotions, or exercises of faith, or 4 THE CHRISTIAN'S DEBT joyful suffering for their Lord, are here by themselves or others so briefly yet so well recorded ? Of all the sacred writers, and those who were actors in the scenes described in Holy Writ, perhaps no one, of merely hu- man origin, furnishes more of this kind of material for our knowledge of the things of God's kingdom than the author of our present text. Whether we look at his native traits of moral and mental character, at his social relations, at his education and acquire- ments, at the spiritual dealings of which he was the subject, or at the course marked out for him by the great Head of the Church as a writer and a missionary, we find in him a living exponent of the ways of God to man, and of the grand elemen- tary principles of the Christian system. He not only spoke and acted as he was moved by the Holy Ghost, but as he was constituted, bodily and mentally, by the creating Hand, and guided, in all the pathway of his outward life, by Divine Providence. We see before us Paul the He- brew—Paul the Roman citizen— Paul the disciple of Gamaliel- Paul the ardent, courageous, persevering man — Paul the acute and eloquent defender of whatever faith he adopted— the man whom the Lord arrested by that swift-winged messenger, a light from Heaven, and made a chosen vessel to bear His name to the Gentiles, an eloquent expounder of His doctrine, a mirror to re- flect the beams of His love upon the darkness of ancient Asia, and of succeeding generations in every land where the sacred volume has been read. In our text he speaks nobly, characteristically, and more than all, evangelically, that is, in the very spirit and tone of the Gos- pel, concerning that great subject which has brought us, my brethren and friends, together ; I mean the propagation of the Gospel ; the spreading of the light and blessings of Chris- tianity, by ctivine power and human agency, among men. He says, " I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise ;" that is, "I owe TO HIS COUNTRY. them something." For it hardly reaches the demands of this strong language to understand the passage : I am under an obli- gation of benevolence towards these men. He owed them somewhat. They had a positive and just claim upon him that he should render them a certain service. And what was this ser- vice ? Simply, preaching the Gospel to them. This is made plain by the last clause of the text, in which his readiness to preach the Gospel at Rome is mentioned as the natural conse- quence of the feeling of indebtedness he had expressed. " I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise ;" that is, to men of all languages and all degrees of intelligence, to ail nations and all classes of man- kind. " So,"— on this account— for this reason, or, as the meaning may be,— so far, just in proportion to my indebtedness, " I am ready as much as in me is,"— according to my ability and the opportunity which God in his Providence may afford — " to preach the Gospel to them that are at Rome also ;"— even in the proud metropolis of the world ; where the demands upon my intellect and my courage will be greater than elsewhere. And he adds, in his usual spirit of holy joy and confidence in the Christian religion, which he well knew if preached at Rome would be so severely criticised and so extensively de- spised, " For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ ; for it is the power of God unto salvation." No wonder that shame found no place in such a man's heart in connexion with such an object. They who are ashamed of Christ or of his Gospel are as destitute of Paul's wisdom as of his faith and his piety. " I am debtor." This is the Apostle's grand leading thought in this passage. Debtor, not to God only, but to men. What were his views and his emotions concerning the divine clanns, he has not indeed left us in doubt. The love of Christ con- strained him. Doubtless this was the chief motive by which he was governed in doing what lie did. How could it be other- wise ? What human obligation could equal that what which re- sulted from the divine purpose and work of mercy to which he 6 THE CHRISTIAN S DEBT owed the hope of Heaven ? It was " a necessity" of love and gratitude that was " laid upon" him, and that led him to ex- claim — " Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel." And yet he was under obligation also to men ; " debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise :" and on that account, aside from, or rather in addition to, the higher obligation of love and duty to his Lord, he was ready any where, every where, as opportunity might offer, to preach that glorious Gospel of which he would never, in any presence, be ashamed. How different this feeling of indebtedness, from the feeling sometimes indulged by the disciples of Christ, even when not wholly negligent of the work of propagating the Gospel ! " Cor- ban, it is a gift," they say, in their hearts at least, even of their own little sacrifices — if their " mites," without the widow's pov- erty or piety which gave her's their value, may be called sacrifi- ces. And when they hear of larger gifts, or of the personal consecration of a Martyn, a Brainerd, or a Newell, they ad- mire, or perhaps blame as excessive, the generosity of the act. 4 ' How kind, how benevolent in those persons to give so much — to do so much, for men they never saw, and who had no con- ceivable claim upon them !" If the mind of such an obser- ver rises at all to the contemplation of a Christian claim, an obligation to the Author and Giver of the Gospel, which takes away in his view the character of a mere gratuity from the of- fering bestowed or the service rendered, yet so far as relates to the individuals who are to be benefitted, he still says in his heart, " Corban ;" and dreams not that the contributor or mis- sionary, whatever his obligation to Christ, or his benevolence to- ward the souls for whom Christ died, is also paying a debt to them, when he sends or carries them the Gospel. That such a debt exists, due continually from every disciple of Christ to every fellow man throughout the world, whom he can in any way reach with the blessed instalments of that inexhaus- tible treasure, of which the more a man givcth the more he TO HIS COUNTRY. i hath, it might be profitable, on a fit occasion, to show and urge. But as the greater includes the less, we may apply the principle here laid down by the Apostle to that branch of philanthropic effort suggested by the name and design of the society whose anniversary we celebrate. If the Christian is a debtor to the Avorld, to give the world the Gospel, we may safely conclude that every Christian is a debtor to his country, to see, as much as ■in hi in /ies, that all HIS countrymen have the Cfospel to read, to hear, and to trust in, like himself, unto salvation ; and this on two grounds ; first, of patriotism ; and next, of a sacred trust committed to him by God. I. Every Christian, having a country with a claim upon his best services, and having the Gospel with the power to aid in imparting it, is bound by every bond of patriotism to make this effort as the best service which man or angel can render. The ties of country, like those of kindred, are woven by the hand of God. He who created us in families created us also in nations. As natural affection is at once the index of domestic duties and the impulse which secures their performance, so pat- riotism, swelling within our breasts, not only suggests certain claims which our country has upon us, but furnishes the moving power by which the heart is made to dare and the hands to do, for its protection and welfare. " Who is there so base that does not love his country ?" Whatever its natural features, its state of cultivation, the glory or lowliness of its name among the na- tions, and its condition with reference to science, art and free- dom, he is proud and happy to call it his own. " With all thy faults I love thee still," his heart, " untravelled," exclaims, as from whatever remote land he looks fondly to Ins own, even if its faults do not wholly escape his sight, or appear changed from blemishes to beauties. This feeling may become excessive ; but it exists by nature, and by permission of the God of nature,- as truly as does the domestic bond of love. And the labors and cares, the doing and the daring, to which it leads, are things desirable, and even, as human nature is, and the constitution of 8 THE CHRISTIAN'S DEBT human society, essential to the welfare if not to the prolonged existence of nations. A nation in which this principle had be- come extinct — wholly replaced, as it too often is in part, by am- bition and selfishness — would find its days numbered, and its glory departed. Man is a debtor to his country. If he that provideth not for his own household is blame-worthy, he that careth not for the lar- ger household of which as a citizen he forms a part, cannot be innocent. Even if his country, in its government, its public policy, and its influence among the nations of the earth, is not what he desires, he should not on that account love it less as his birth-place, but rather strive to make it an honor to its children. If, like the vast empire under which Paul claimed the rights of citizenship, it is a land of oppression, not the less should he love his countrymen, but strive to do them good and to make their common home " aland of the free." His birth-land, giving him a birth-right however meagre, has this parental claim upon him for fihal services. From this claim the Christian is not free. He has learned, if he has been an apt scholar in the school of Christ, to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto his country the love and service which are her due. And what shall he do for his country ? A patriot of old is said to have leaped with his war-horse into a living grave, that Rome might be saved. The Christian can do more and better for his country. Paul did more for Rome than Curtius is re- ported to have done. His Epistle, the very title of which caught the attention and appealed to the hearts of all who were proud to share the name of the world's mistress — his long resi- dence in that city, preaching the Gospel and preaching it not in vain, even among imperial courtiers — these were blessings to Rome richer than her proudest Caesars, or her most devoted sons had ever conferred. He had indeed a double claim at any time to plead his birth-right, and to say by way of protest against the indignity of scourging, " I am a Roman citizen." TO HIS COUNTR1 , 9 And what can any Christian do for the country which he • alls his own. better than to enlighten it according to his ability, with the light of the Gospel ? What service more valuable can he render, than to send forth a ray of light from his closet of prayer, his contributions, his godly example, or, if he has the ability and opportunity, the broad beams of a reforming light, such as Luther shed upon his country, revealing great Bible principles which for ages had Buffered burial and oblivion? Shall his patriotism and usefulness to his country, who plans its wider extension, or who with his sword attempts to execute the plans of others for conquest or even for defence, be compared with his who diifuses an influence that shall check ambition and profligacy, — that shall cause his countrymen to lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty, — and that shall se- cure the favor of Him who is a better defender than fleets and armies, and who makes the people happy whose God is the Lord ? Shall I argue the point here, my brethren and friends, — all believers, I trust, in the divinity and value of the Christian religion, — that no man can do more for his country, than he who does what man with God's blessing may do, to make it a Chris- tian country ? And if these things are so, is not every Christian, in this sense, a debtor to his country ? Is it " Corban," a mere gra- tuity, when he devotes his time, his property, his energies, or a portion of either, to the preaching of the Gospel, the religious instruction of the young, the circulation of the Bible and of books based upon the Bible, " books which are books," and to other means of rendering the distinction wider between his country and the heathen nations ? No ! it is but the discharge of a sacred debt — as sacred as the obligation to pay taxes, or to resist invasion, and contend, in the last extremity, for our hearth-stones and our altars. Is it said the government of a Christian country ought to do this? Asa matter of theory I grant it. Whatever constitu- ' 2 10 the christian's e-ert tional questions may arise as to the rights and duties of govern- ments in relation to internal improvements, and other secular affairs, the Great Charter from His hand by whom Kings reign and Princes decree justice, leaves no doubt as to their obliga- tion, if they know the Gospel, to sprad the gospel in all their dominions. The government of Great Britain, for example, on whose dominions the sun never sets, is under every obligation to reflect the rays of the Sun of Righteousness to all those dark corners over which its banners wave. Upon such a " church establishment" Heaven would smile. From the interference of governments in matters of religion, sad evils have indeed flowed ; and whether the beautiful idea, the Christian and philanthropic hope from which most church establishments doubtless sprung, can ever be realized, is perhaps more than doubtful. One thing, however, is certain : Every nominally Christian government is bound to do more than any government on the face of the earth is doing, by way of paternal care for the religious benefit of the people. This might be done without any of the evils which have flowed from church establishments. There are two tilings which every such government might and ought to do, both of them in advance of every step yet taken by all the hierarchies on the globe. In the first place : to enforce the first table of the law, by statutes with penalties, as they do the second table ; preventing idolatry, blasphemy and Sabbath breaking, as they do murder, adultery and fraud. And next : fining the land with copies of the Word: of God ; bringing within the reach of every family and every child, that divine message of mercy, that conservator of public morals, that guide to heaven, the Holy Bible. But will governments do either of these things ? If they would, enough would still be left for individuals to accomplish. But as no government has- done, or will do, at present, either of these, its duties to those for Avhose good it is constituted a ser- vant of God, all remains to be done, in every country, by the individual efforts of its Christian citizens. Are not such men, TO HIS COl NTKY. 11 ■wherever God's grace has raised them up from death in sin, debtors to their respective countries to do for these countries all that man may do to enlighten them with Gospel light, and to save them with Gospel salvation ? II. The Christian is a debtor in this matter, because he holds the Gospel in trust for others, and especially for his own neighbors and countrymen. There is something peculiarly sa- cred in all trusts. The very name is sacred. The guardian of orphan children, — the receiver of the -widow's portion, — the representative of an absent brother whose share of his father's estate is to be kept ready for him in case he returns within the ordinary limits of human life from his ocean wanderings, — each holds an honorable but a solemn position. To betray such a trust — how wicked ! How deep and universal the execration which society, its own avenger, metes out to him, though escap- ing other punishment, who, in betraying one member, has com- mitted treason against the whole body ! The Christian is put in trust with the gospel. Not only is the Bible given him that he may multiply copies of its blessed words, and having scattered some of them near his home, send others far and wide through the earth, but God hath shined in his heart with the light of the knowledge of His glory, not that he should hide it, but that he should let it shine before men and lead them to acknowledge and glorify that Sun of Right- eousness by which his native darkness has been dissipated. If he fails to do this, he defrauds both God and man. As if an angel, entrusted with the stores of ram for the bene- fit of man, should, through either selfishness, or indolence, or indifference to the boundless value of the trust, withhold the showers more precious than golden streams, and men dying with thirst, should but just survive the green things of the field parched and dead with drought. "What a crime against God ! Not only this, what a defrauding of men ! Is this illustration too strong ? Is it said : God may convert > not for a selfish and exclusive use, but in trust for others, then, as the greater includes the Less, every Christian is a debtor on this score to those who are, by the Providence of God, placed near him and connected with him as his countrymen. If that man is our neighbor to whom we show mercy — that man, who- ever he is, to whom we cam show mercy — then surely those who are literally our neighbors are not less entitled than those at a distance, to the payment of this great debt which we owe to all. If we had sunshine, or clouds of rain, or liberty, or peace, or education, at our disposal, hut entrusted to us by the Author of all good, to be diffused as far as possible among mankind, our own country would certainly not be last in its claims. And in relation to which of those blessings would the obligation be more perfect than in relation to this great blessing of Gospel-light ? It is entrusted to us to be multiplied, not diminished, by diffusion. To give his coimtrymen the Bible, and by a godly example, a hearty invitation, and fervent prayer, to promote their salvation, is a debt which ought to press with solemn weight upon the conscience of every Christian. What has he, of spiritual any more than of temporal good, that he has not received ? And for what purpose has it all been given him ? It is a debt of trust and not of gift, by which he holds it. Grod's gift to him is eternal life; for himself — for his own soul, condemned and redeemed, lost and saved. A precious gift in- deed ! but all that he has or knows beyond this, is held in sacred trust for other souls, like his condemned and lost — needing like his, to be redeemed and saved. By way of applying the truth thus briefly illustrated, I re- mark, 1. The zealous prosecution of the work of home missions by the churches of Christ in this country, while it is demanded by every consideration of duty and gratitude towards the Redeemer, is a matter of common honesty towards our fellow citizens. This proposition, differing from the one adopted and consid- 14 the christian's debt ered as the theme of discourse, only in being more specific, follows necessarily from it, unless a doubt should be raised whether this country is not in such a sense, already a Christian country, that missionary work here would be out of place. Need I say, to this assembly, that the vast land which we call our own, stretching we hardly know how far from north to south, and from east to west, and presenting almost every variety of religious opinions and condition to be found on the face of the earth, is one of the noblest and readiest fields of missionary labor ? It presents the strange phenomena of a Christian land having great need to be evangelized, — a land of Bibles where there are thousands and tens of thousands of families who never possessed that blessed volume, — a Protestant land, in which Popery is ad- vancing with such strides as it has never taken before since the early Gregories, — a free land, where every seventh man is a slave, and the " area of freedom," so called, extending contin- ually, — a land given by God and its first Christian inhabitants, to the Prince of Peace, sending forth its battle-cry, almost alone, to startle the ears of Christendom, — a land bearing the Puritans and the Pilgrims' names, where their followers are already in a minority, and their principles, in some wide districts, becoming rare. Is not this a land for missions? Owe we no debt to our country, my brethren, because she needs not our service ? — be- cause the blessings we have in trust our fellow-citizens already possess ? I will not recapitulate what you so often hear and so w r ell un- derstand on this point. I only ask whether it is not true that common honesty calls the American churches to American mis- sions ; whether all that a Christian owes to his country because it is his country, and because God has given him the Gospel in trust, is not due from us to our country, wdiere superstition, and fanaticism, and slavery, and disorganizing radicalism under the name of reform, and intemperance, and Sabbath breaking, and TO HIS COUNTRY. 15 infidelity, and ignorance, and ambition, and war, are lifting their hydra heads and hissing forth their threats— Heaven -rant they may prove timely and effectual warnings — of desolation and ruin. If benevolence to others, a wise care for our own safety and quietness in our declining years, and for our children after us, and above all, love to our blessed Lord and a desire that His name may be adored and His cross relied upon universally, call upon us to engage zealously in home missionary work, is it not also plain that common ho)iesti/ requires it at our hands, and that neglect would involve not only danger to ourselves, and disobedience and ingratitude to God our Saviour, but injustice and fraud, against our countrymen, for whose benefit we hold in our hands, and in our hearts, if we are not deceived, this great trust. 2. We see, fathers, brethren, and friends, who have aided either in originating or in sustaining the Maine Missionary So- ciety, — in what light this enterprise should be regarded, and what motives press upon you to prosecute it in all its parts, with increasing diligence, faith and prayer. All that has been said of the debt owed by Christians to their country, applies to the Christians of Maine with reference to our own State. Vast in extent, abundant in natural resources, rapidly coming into notice as an emigration field by reason of its healthful though severe climate, its accessibleness by water, and its projected and noble internal improvements, it may well be styled the Great East, and divide the sympathies and the prayers — if not the contributions — of our New England breth- ren with the Great West. That we should, as a Society, share in the gifts of brethren abroad, has been hinted at and virtually promised in certain quarters. But until our nearly twenty thousand church-members, with the aid of some thousands of non-communicants who cheerfully join their contributions with ours, shall have begun to raise more than ten thousand dollars annually, as their portion of the church's debt to the country, no aid should in my judgment be asked or received by this 16 the christian's debt society as such, from any other State, unless it were deemed necessary by such a step to arouse the indifferent or penurious among ourselves to new exertion. I speak not by authority of our excellent Board of Managers, nor even by their permission, on this point, but as a humble individual I would express my impression that the eighteen thousand church members in Maine, of our denomination, would place themselves in a false position before the country, and in view of their own consciences, by allowing any other body to share officially in doing their homc- Avork, until they have begun to expend in that work at least one dollar annually for each member. Whatever individual liberali- ty may delight to do for particular portions of our great field, moved by pleasant recollections of the past, or by personal Christian friendship for our laborious and self-denying brethren, should be thankfully received. And even then, those among our number whom the Lord has blessed with means, should see to it that as much in full meas- ure goes from Maine to the West, as comes from New England to Maine. And I would ask with all diffidence, but with sincerity and earnestness, whether the Congregational churches of Maine, if their number and ability continue as at present, will be pay- ing their proper annual instalment of this great Christian debt to their country, if they shall contribute twenty thousand dollars for the great East and lift not with their little finger the burden which rests so heavily on the churches in the older New Eng- land States, of taking care of territories at the West and South, in which this great territory of ours would be lost on the map beyond the reach of any but a microscopic observation. Brethren, have Ave aimed high enough ? Have we done half enough for our oami State ? And have we not someAvhat hastily concluded that the rest of New England Avould take care of the rest of this vast land, with its elastic and ever expanding boun- daries, and in many portions dark almost like the darkness of the Pagan and the Papal world. Tm HIS country. 17 Eat we will speak only of our own State. To it we are debtors. Nay we axe debtors to some of our brethren, of the ministry and the laity, who to their power,yea and beyond their power, have made advances, i£ I may so say, of money they could ill afford, and of labor which is fast wearing out their lives, to supply our lack of service. Shall they pay our portion of the debt ? I know not how it is with my brethren in the ministry, to whom as to myself, the lines have fallen in pleasant places, where severe and exhausting labor has the solace of abundant Christian society, and is not embittered by the daily pressure or the constant fear of want; but for myself I feel like doing reverence to some of our missionary brethren, while an emotion bordering on shame oppresses me, that I suffer not like them. And if I may appeal, on this point, to the private members of our strong churches, let me ask them if similar feelings might not be appropriate on their part, towards some of the self-denying Christians in the feeble churches on our fron- tiers. I have spoken, dear brethren, of the duty of prosecuting this great work "in all its parts," and of doing it "with prayer." But is not prayer one of the parts of our Missionary work ? Our field may be large and inviting. It may be white unto the harvest. The laborers may be ready, and the chief implements of their work — copies of God's holy Word — may not be want- ing ; and yet the desired harvest cannot be gathered but by the permission and aid of the Lord of the harvest. We may desire and strive, as much as in us lies, to bless and saw our State and our country — to have the Gospel preached among all classes of our citizens, even though it should be as Paid apprehended concerning such labor at Rome, with more of self-denial, and perhaps with less perceptible immediate results, than among the simpler and ruder races of man, who have no philosophy and v;;i'i deceit to strengthen the opposition and sharpen the caviling ingenuity of the natural heart. But the Hand that holds the hearts of men and turns them as the rivers 3 18 THE CHRISTIAN'S DEBT TO HIS COUNTRY. of water are turned, must work with us, and by us, or we shall labor equally and wholly in vain at home and abroad. While then, brethren and friends, we admit our indebtedness both to God and men — while the love of Christ and the weighty claims of patriotic obligation and a sacred trust from Heaven, constrain us to bestow our personal services and our cheerful and abundant gifts in this good cause, let us remember that we are also debtors to our country to pray for it — and to our fel- low-citizens of this State, to implore from on High upon their individual hearts, that grace without which even inspired preach- ers and miracle-workers would have labored m vain. May the God of all grace bestow this blessing richly upon us here present before him this day, that we may not neglect, or with deceived hearts profess, to love and obey the glorious Gos- pel which we send to others, and that acknowledging and dis- charging this great debt Ave may share that rich reward, which though not of debt but a free gift, is yet held forth by the divine hand, the prize of our high calling as the servants of Christ : They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament ; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever. ANNUAL MEETING. TflB Maine Missionary Society held its thirty-ninth annual meeting, in Augusta, June 24th, 1846,— Rev. Wm. T. Dwighfc, President, in the Chair. The annual sermon was preached by Rev.

David Shepley be a committee to tender to the Rev. Mr_ Chickering, the thanks of the Society for the appropriate sermon delivered by him this day, and request a copy for publication. The question of asking aid to evangelical efforts in Maine of the Massachusetts Missionary Society came up for discussion, in which Messrs. Gillett, Rogers, Savage, Shepley, Peet, Fiske, Clark, Cutter, Green, and others took part, and resulted in the adoption of the following resolution : — Rtsolved, That in view of the wants of our Missionary field, this Society needs, for the coming year, at least fifteen thousand dollars ; and, while we hope our churches will come up and meet this demand, yet, to prevent embarrassment, the Trustees be authorized, in case of failure on the part of Maine, to make applica- tion to the Massachusetts Miss. Society, to supply the deficiency ; and we hereby pledge ourselves to use our utmost influence to raise the whole sum within our own churches. 20 ANNUAL MEETING. OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY.

REPORT Of the Trustees of the Maine Missionary Society, at their Thirty-Ninth Annual Meeting in Augusta, June 24, L846. The cause of Home Missions is getting a stronger hold upon the Christian community, in every successive year; and is constantly extend- ing, in its length and in its breadth, the theatre of its operations. The American Home Missionary Society, which had its origin not quite a quarter of a century ago, and whose representative is present on this occa- sion, has already extended ihe shadow of its influence over a large section of our world. It is sowing the good seed of the kingdom, broad-cast, from the St. Croix to the gulf of Mexico, and from the shores of the Atlan- tic to the Rocky Mountains. It employed, the last year, (the statement is in round numbers,) 1000 missionaries, and came to the resolution to add 100 to the number, the current year. Its income from the charities of the Christian public, last year, was 130,000 dollars; and they confidently hope, in winding up their concerns for the present year, ending in May next, to reach the amount of 150,000 dollars. It has 20 Brandies, under the name of Auxiliaries and Agencies, which have their respective limits, within the same broad field of operation ; and may be styled " helps ;" as were Aaron and Hur, in staying up the hands of Moses in the wilderness, until the conquests of the Lord were completed Some of these branches, indeed, are older than the parent root or stock, but were grafted in, to carry out the symmetry of the tree. That branch of its operation, which occupies the field in our own State, the Maine Missionary Society, cel- ebrates to-day its 3!Hh anniversary.

None, however, so far as I know, have become savingly interested in the Gospel." Rev. Mighill Bj.ood, Aurora, Amherst, and vicinity, I 1-2 months. Mr. Blood spent several months with the church in Aurora and Am- herst, after his mission closed. Since then he has been laboring in the vicinity of Lincoln. Rev. Isaac Carleton, Oxford, 3 1-2 months. Mr. Carleton writes: "Our public meetings are well attended. There have been 2 hopeful conversions. There will probably be some additions, both by letter and by profession, during the season." Rev. E. G. Carpenter, Dexter and Exeter, 3 1-2 months. Mr. Eltas Chapman, Newfield, 1 3-4 months. In this place, no considerable changes. The report of Mr. Chapman states : " Public worship has been well attended, and rather an increase in the congregation. The church has been somewhat revived, if we may judge from our prayer and conference meetings." Rev. Sumner Clarke, Unity, 3 1-2 months. Mr. Clark, in reviewing the occurrences of this year, states : " The at- tendance on meetings has been as good, perhaps, as at any period during my labors here. But the blighting influence of the great spiritual dearth, which has so long rested on God's heritage, we have deeply felt. Three have been added to the church by letter." Mr. Thomas W. Ci.ark, Kilmarnock and vicinity, 1 month. Rev. Dana Clayes, Jefferson and vicinity. Rev. Joseph H. Conant, Cbesterville and Fayette, 1 3-4 months. In Cbesterville, things remain as they were. In regard to Fayette, Mr. Conant writes: " God, who is rich in mercy, has visited them with the day-spring from on high. The last Sabbath in May was a Sabbath not soon to be forgotten. Six were then added to their number by profession, and two by letter. Though this accession has not increased their ability to sustain the Gospel; yet they have abundant reason to thank God, and take courage." Mr. O. W. Cooley, Aurora and Amherst, 1 1-4 months. Mr. Cooley writes, under date of 3d inst : " I have visited 40 families, and distributed tracts to them. There has been good attendance on the Sabbath ; the house on the last Sabbath wasquite full. I remain here three Sabbaths after my mission closes ; until the time of their annual parish meeting." Rev. David Cushman, Bremen, 3 months. Mr. Cushman engaged at Bremen, for a year, one half of the time ; the other half of his time being spent in Newcastle, where he resides. His year in Bremen began in November last. Rev. Tjmothy Davis, Litchfield, 1 3-1 months. MAINE MISSIONARt SOCIETY. 28 Mr. Davis's report, under date of (Hli instant, stateB : "One female, the wife "I" a church member, has, as we trust, been converted , and has joined the church. Religion is in a low state. There does appear, however, re- cently, some waking up in the church, and unusual seriousness in several among the unconverted. So that we have a hope of better things. The removal and repair of ih>- un'c-ting house has rather increased the number who attend public worship on the Sabbath." Rev. Nathan Douglass, St. Albans and Palmyra, 1 1-2 months. Mr. Douglass has, during his mission, been dismissed from the church in St. Albans; but still resides in the place, and continues to preach in the vicinity. Rev. Samuel S. Drake, Garland, Levant, and vicinity, 3 1-2 months. Rev. Joshua Eaton, Aroostook County, 10 months. The theatre of Mr. Eaton's labors, is the eastern part of the county, in the vicinity of Iloullon. It embraces some 30 miles in extent, including many townships and plantations; though there are only two Congrega- tional churches, one at Monticello, and one at Hodgdon. The latter has been organized during his mission. His labors have not only been neces- sary to the region, but acceptable and useful. In a communication, under date of April 6th, at Bangor, Mr. Eaton writes: "I went to the Aroostook about the middle of January, and finished the balance of my first com- mission of the current year ; when 1 received notice of the renewal of my appointment for another three months. I found an increase of interest in Hodgdon ; so that I should have tarried a little, if my appointment had not been renewed. Meetings were much better attended than usual, and there appeared an uncommon degree of seriousness on the minds of indi- viduals. I remained on the ground, until about the middle of March. I am now on the point of returning thither again." Rev. Henry Eddy, Turner, 3 1-2 months. Mr. Eddy writes, under date of 6th inst. : — " .No material change has ta- ken place in religious feeling among the people, since my last report. There is a good degree of harmony in the church, and a disposition among the people generally, to listen attentively to the preaching of the Gospel." Rev. John Elliott, Durham, Cumberland county, 3 1-2 months. This feeble church has for several years been supplied by the late Rct. Israel Newell, resident among them. At his request, after he had become too feeble to preach to the people himself, Mr. Elliott was sent to Durham, a» a missionary; and the parish engaged him, for one year, with the pledge of aid from the missionary society. Mr. Elliott's journal, under date of May 10th, states: "I received the commission, forwarded to the Rev. Israel Newell, in due season. Since that time, that eminent servant of Christ lias deceased. The Congregational parish hope to realize annually hereafter, about $100, the result of funds secured to the church by the last Will and Testament of Mr. Newell. This will enable them to sustain 24 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE preaching, without aid from your Society, after the expiration of the pres- ent year, ending November next." Mr. R. W.

Mr. Fargo spends one half of his time at this stand ; and the residue in Cornville and other destitute places in the vicinity. Rev. Jonas Fisk, Lisbon, 3 1-2 months. Mr. Fisk writes : " Many attend public worship now, who formerly did not; and the congregation is constantly increasing, so that on fair Sab- baths our meeting house is well filled. One thing is particularly interest- ing and hopeful among us. The children and youth are coming forward and doing well, in sustaining the cause." Rev. Joseph Freeman, Strong, 2 months. Mr. Freeman has left this stand, and taken the pastoral charge of the Congregational church in Prospect. Mr. David Garland, Sweden, Oxford county, 1 month. Mr. John Gerrish, Dedham, Dixmont, and Old Town, 3 months. Mr. Gerrish one month in Dedham, one in Dixmont, and one in Old Town. Rev. David Gerrv, Hiram and Brownfield, 3 months. Mr. Gerry has supplied these two churches, alternately, the last year. He has now taken charge also of the church in Denmark, designing, the coming year, to preach to the three, successively. Rev. Solomon B. Gilbert, Kennebunkport, 2 3-4 months. Mr. Gilbert writes: "We have no revival to report. During the past year there have been signs of returning mercy; the field has looked white already to harvest ; and we thought we saw a cloud gathering over us, and heard the sound of abundance of rain. But as yet the Spirit's influ- ences have been restrained; though we still hope that this church love the and truth, are in a measure growing in grace ; being built upon the foun- dation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone." Mr. Stephen Gould, Weld, 2 months. Rev. Stephen H. Hayes, Frankfort, 3 1-2 months. Mr. Hayes writes: "The state of religion is lamentably low. We have had no additions; though two contemplate uniting by letter, and one at least by profession, soon. — In regard to our external prosperity, I hardly know how to speak. Some portion of last year's harvest was al- most a sheer failure; in others more promising. It is the opinion of some, that if our society holds on in a quiet way, a year or two longer, we shall begin to be strong; though .ill depends on the divine blessing." Rev. Leonard W. Harris, North Bridgton, 2 3-4 months. Mr. Harris, under date of 30th nit., writes : "During the last winter, an unusual interest in the subject of religion and religious meetings was MAINE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. -•"> manifested.

Morris Holman, 2d Church, York, 3 months. Mr. Holmau's journal, under date of 1st inst., states: "The last 12 months have beheld us going along very much as formerly. There is a good degree of harmony in the church, and one has been added to it by profession. The general attendance on public worship, I deem rather improving in numbers and constancy." Rev. Anson Hubbard, Andover, 2 months. Mr Hubbard has been most of the time with the church in Andover ; though he has spent a few Sabbaths, during the year, in the destitute places in the vicinity. Rev. Horatio Ilsley, Abbot, Piscataquis County, 3 months. Abbot is a small town ; but it enjoys the ministrations of the Gospel stat- edly and constantly. The population all worship together. Four evangel- ical denominations provide a supply for the pulpit successively, in each Sabbath of the month ; and they have their Sabbath-school and Bible class and temperance efforts, all in common. Mr. Ilsley has supplied for the Congregational portion of the establishment, one-fourth of the time, during the past year. His journal states: " I cannot report any revival of religion, nor additions to the church. It has been the case here, as in many other places, that the Lord has not granted the special influences of his Spirit; and when this is the case, preaching seems to be in vain. The church, however, are united, and appear interested in the ordinances of the Gospel. On the whole, I feel encouraged for Abbot; and while there has not been any special revival, I do think the cause of truth has been steadily advan- cing; and they are desirous of having the means of grace continued to them, as heretofore." Rev. Elijah Jones, Hebron and West Minot, 3 1-2 months. The church in Hebron and West Minot Mr. Jones supplies one-half of the year; while he has the pastoral charge of the church in Minot, and ministers to them, the other half of his time. Mr Jones reports : " 1 have completed my mission in West Minot arid Hebron, and have wrought no deliverance in the earth ; cannot cheer you with an account of revivals, and perhaps not of single conversions. Hut a feeble church has enjoyed, for another vear, the ordinances of religion, and its children, as well as others, 4 26 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE have been instructed. Tlie church is thought to be in a better condition than for some time previous ; the congregation is in creased in numbers and the attention appears to be good." Mr. Marcus R. Keep, Patten and vicinity, 1 month. Rev. Reuben Kimball, Kittery, 3 1-4 months. Mr. Kimball writes: "No very remarkable changes have taken place in the state of things here, during the year. Our Sabbath-school, which I superintend, continues to be interesting, and, 1 believe, to be exerting a very good influence upon more than half of my congregation. And we are permitted to hope, that one soul in it has recently been born again. No additions have been made to our number, and one has died. Since my last report, we have painted and otherwise improved our house of worship, and have contributed to several objects of benevolence and charity." Rev. Daniel Lane, Mechanic Falls, Cumberland County, 4 months. Mr. Lane supplied at this place, 5 months. He was settled, the year preceding, at Keosauqua, Iowa. But want of health induced him to return to this his native State. lie soon so far recovered, as to recommence la- boring; which he did, by application, at Mechanic Falls. An extract from his report, under date of April 8th, at Freeport, will show the result of his labors: "You will recollect that my mission at Mechanic Falls, was for 4 months, commencing with the 2d Sabbath in Novemer last. I remained with them four weeks, after the time of my appointment from your Society had expired. I found a good measure of what I thought to be Bible piety among them ; so that when I commenced preaching with them, I felt en- couraged to hope for a revival of religion. The expectation was realized. A spirit of prayer was soon poured out upon the church, creating an unusual earnestness in their supplications. The prayer meetings began to be better attended. There was solemnity in them; confession of sin; longing for more piety; and some tremulous hopes, that God would, by the gracious influences of his Spirit, appear both for the church, and for those who had no hope, and were without God in the world. The solemnity of the prayer-meetings was soon transferred to the public assembly on the Sabbath : so that it was soon evident, that God's Spirit was influencing the minds of the people in a special manner. The result of the whole is this, 19, all young people, are hoping that they are Christians. Proba- bly, no one of them is older than 24, nor younger than 11 or 12. In addition to this, there was an encouraging religious interest, when I left God grant that the work may go on, so that their present acting pastor may reap an abundant harvest of souls in that place. I shall think of them often, when in the Far West. Of the genuineness of the work, I canno t of course speak with certainty. It will be an unusual revival, if there are not among them some self-deceived ones. 1 am to set out for Iowa, Providence permitting, on Wednesday, the 15th inst.

Mr. Lin- coln has been installed over this church, during his mission. He writes, under date of 1st instant: "We are perhaps, in a pecuniary point of view, no stronger than we were a year ago; bul the sequel will show that ours is not altogether a hopeless case. During the year, there lias been a change from stated supply to pastor; contributions lor benevo- lent objects have been regular and creditable; we have made one life-mem- ber of the Maine Missionary Society, by a payment of 20 dollars; have vent between 1 ami 5 dollars to the persecuted Armenians; the ladies have done something for the missionaries by the way of clothing ; and in all this, the pastor has nol been forgotten. There have been o* bap- tisms, and f> persons have joined the church by letter. Public worship on the Sabbath is well attended, and we have some evidence, that the Lord has not quite forsaken this branch of bis Zion." Rev. Levi Loring, Athens, Solon Village, and Bingham, 4 months. Mr. Loring, since the decease of Rev. Henry Smith of Bingham, has supplied Bingham and Solon Village, one-half of the time ; and the other half he lias spent at Athens, the place of his residence. Rev. Amasa Loring, Sbapleigh, 3 1-2 months. Mr. Loring writes : " Two have been added to the church, one by letter, and one by profession. The addition of these, and changes made in other families, have increased the pecuniary strength of the church considerably. Mr. Henry S. Loring, Lincoln, Mattawamkeag, and Burlington, 1 month. Rev. Eaton Mason, Dixfield, 3 months. This missionary labored faithfully in the field, while life and health re- mained ; but deceased before the close of the labors contracted for ; and the balance of the time was made out, for the benefit of his bereaved fam- ily, by his neighboring brethren in the ministry. Rev. Exos Merrill, Sweden and Mechanic Falls, 2 1-4 months. Rev. Josiaii (i. Mkkrill, Aroostook County, 12 months. Mr. Merrill has spent the greater part of his time, in the region of the Aroostook river; taking Fort Fairfield, where a church has been organized as his home, and extending his labors up the river, on both banks, to the distance of 35 or 40 miles. His acceptance with the people has been marked and peculiar; his labors abundant and successful ; and ive are glad to be able to say, he has given -encouragement of returning thither again, after the anniversary, 24th inst. In his journal, under date of April 2d, Mr. Merrill states: "1 was absent from home, in this last mission, ten weeks and five days. In this time I preached 45 sermons; attended three conferences and prayer meetings; administered the Lord's Supper once, and baptized one infant; distributed l^Bibles and 12 Testaments ; and made about 200 family visits. There have been one or two hopefirl •aonversions : as algo peace and love in the church, at Letter D, or Fort 28 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE Fairfield. I am increasingly impressed with the importance of this Aroos- took mission, and that it should be prosecuted with vigor, and with as little delay as possible." Mr. Thomas G. Mitchell, Freedom, Waldo County, and Waterville, Kennebec County, G months. Mr. Mitchell spent 4 1-2 months at Freedom Mills, and other places in Waldo County, and the balance of his time in Waterville. He is now employed, as a candidate, by the church at Auburn. Mr. Alfred Morse, Lubec and Whiting, 1 month. Some efforts have been made, by the people in these places, to secure the services of Mr. Morse, for one year from August next. With what suc- cess is not yet known. Rev. Alpha Morton, Temple, Franklin County, 2 months. Rev. Robert Page, Penobscot County, 9 months. Mr. Page spent 2 months in Old Town, and the residue of his time far- ther east, chiefly in Carroll, Springfield, and Lee. There lias been a church organized, during his mission, consisting of nine members from these three towns; two have since been added, and five stand ready to join, making in all sixteen ; and they hope, by their own efforts and the aid that can be afforded them, to enjoy more or less frequently the stated ordinances of the Gospel. The following are extracts from Mr. Page's communications. He writes, under date of April 3d : " The three towns have a population something as follows ; Lee, 1,000 ; Springfield, from 600 to 700 ; and Carroll, 400. The settlements have been rather rapid, the first town having commenced a little over 20 years ago. There is much good fanning land in these towns. There are already many good farm- ers; and there will be, doubtless, a large and independent yeomanry on this ground. But there is little wealth yet. An Ecclesiastical Council, from the 2 churches in Brewer, the church in Hammond street, Bangor, and that in Orono, organized the church here, two weeks ago ; and closed up their result, by saying: ' Ml hearts being made glad.' " An additional communication, under date of 8th inst., states : "1 shall have performed 6 weeks of labor, after next Sabbath, in this last mission. Things have ap- peared, in most respects, much as before. All the expected members have not yet joined, because they have not yet been able to get to meeting ; and one of the members has moved to the West. During this mission, meet- ings have been more full than before ; and I think there is more interest on the subject of religion, than there was. Sabbath Schools have com- menced with promising appearances. There will be something raised in these towns for preaching. How much, 1 do not know. But whatever the sum, I think the region important enough to have preaching constantly sustained here. And I have no doubt, if it is so, that this church will grow, and gain strength." Rev. Clement Parker, Acton, York County, 2 months. .maim: missionary SOCIETY. 29 Rev. Ctriz Pzarl, Harrison, 2 3-4 months. .Mr Pearl writes: "Our congregation lias been ratlier larger, the la>t year, than previously; and in general, a more fixed and earnest attention to the preaching <>t' the Gospel. Contributions to Foreign Missions and other benevolent causes, have gradually increased." Rev. .1. W Pi i i, Gardiner, 4 3-4 months. Mr. Peet writes : "Our house, on the Sabbath, is now well filled; and tliere is more encouragement, as to the final success of this church and so- ciety, than I have seen before, since my labors with them commenced." Rev. John Perm ah, Madison, Anson, and vicinity, 3 L-2 months. A meeting house has been erected and dedicated at Madison Bridge, during Mr. Perham's labors the last year; and the stand gives promise for a permanent settlement of the ministry. One or two adjoining feeble churches will join with them, in the support of a pastor. Rev. John A. Perry, Orono, 3 1-2 months. Rev. Wm. Pierce, Lyman, 2 3-4 months. Mr. Pierce has been installed pastor of this church, during his mission. He writes : " Religion is low, but we still have encouragement. Borne seriousness does prevail, which gives us faith to hope that God is going to remember this branch of his once more. There has been some increase in our congregation, the past year; and the prospect is favorable lor more. Two have been added to the church by letter." Rev. William W. Rand, JVorridgewock, 1 month. Mr. Rand supplied the people here, for four Sabbaths, in view of the long protracted sickness of their pastor, who, it is hoped, is now conval- scent. Rev. Henry Richardson, Gilead, 1 month. Mr. Richardson preaches at Gilead one half of the time, and at Shel- burne,N. H.,an adjoining town, the other half. Both churches are small ; though the one in Gilead is much the larger of the two. They seem dis- posed, in both places, to do what they can ; but must have aid. Rev. Pliny F. .Sanborn, Orland, Hancock County, 1 3-4 months. Rev. William T. Savage, Houlton, Aroostook County,") months. Mr. Savage is the only pastor in the Aroostook County, though it in- cludes 3 other churches ; and it might be added, that he is the only pastor in the Aroostook Conference, which includes, (or ought to include,) 5 churches also in the adjoining portion of Penobscot County. These !• churches, with the wastes adjoining have had 6 missionaries, the last year ; 3 in Aroostook County, and 3 in Penobscot Countv, within the lim- its of the Aroostook Conference. Mr. Savage under date of 5th inst., writes : " Our church here in Houlton numbers 89 resident members, and G non-resident ; making in all 35 During the past year, 8 have been dis- missed, who constituted the church lately organized in the adjoining town of Hodgdon ; and 3 hare been added to our churcli by letter.

The meetings connected with the establishment of the Conference, in January last, were very interesting. The semi-annual meeting at Lincoln, week after nest, promises to be of much interest. The Lincoln church will come in with us, and perhaps some others of the Penobscot churches. I will here repeat the expression of my sense of the great importance of the Aroostook river mission, and of the rare adaptation of the Rev. Mr. Merrill to fill it, and of his abundant success in accomplishing it. On the whole, as regards Eastern Aroostook, 1 judge, that the interests of Christ's cause have been advanced, during the past year; and, (excepting the clouds over my immediate field,) that the prospect is encouraging for the future. Through your charities and prayers, we hope to reap in due time, if we faint not." Rev. Jotham Sewall, Waldo and Piscataquis Counties, 3 months. Mr. Sewall's journal states : " In the whole of the twelve weeks, I preached eighty times, and made 173 family visits. I attended five prayer- meetings; opened a number of Sabbath schools with a short address and prayer, visited 9 common schools; baptized 7 children, and administered the Lord's Supper three times, besides assisting in the ordinance at a County Conference ; together with attending also two Associations." Rev. William S. Sewall, Milo and Iron Works, Piscataquis County, 3 months. Rev. Nathan W. Sheldon, Vassalboro', Sidney and North Augusta, 2 3-4 months. Mr. Sheldon supplies these 3 churches in succession. His report, under date of 2d instant, states : " I am surely on the 'old wastes,' a hard field truly ; but not too hard for the grace of God. Our prospects are more promising, than last year at this time. The old meeting house in North Vassalboro'-, has been repaired; and I now preach in it, one-third of the time. Some here have tender feelings on religion. Some backslidden professors have recently been reclaimed; others quickened in spirit, and one or two hopefully converted. During the past winter, we have had many solemn and interesting prayer-meetings. Oh that the time, the set time, to favor Zion might quickly come !" Rev. Oren Sikes, Mercer and Starks, 3 1-2 months. Mr Sikes has left this stand; and has been installed over the church in Bedford, Mass. Rev. Francis P. Smith, Sebasticook and Albion, 3 1-2 months.

Mr. Smith deceased, when his labors were about half completed. He bequeathed to the .Maine Missionary Society 1 DO do I bus, which paid for his own services, one-half of the year, and for his successor's services, the residue of the time.

Of the church in Bradford, Mr. White states: " Three have been added to our number, during the year. We how count 19. Since I removed here, three years since, the church has been something more than doubled. We have a meeting house in building. This, for a small society, is a great undertaking.

And the residue have had a still wider range; 5 of whom have labored within the limits of the Aroostook Con- ference; 1 in Waldo County; and 1 in Piscataquis County. A more laborious, self-denying and devoted company of missionaries, it is believed, could not be found And they have been as successful as faithful. They have won upon the minds of the people, with whom they have labored ; and they speak almost uniformly of an increase in the number of hearers ; of an auspicious aspect in the Sabbath-schools and Bible Classes; harmony and increasing love in the churches; and an onward progress in the cause of Temperance. But these are only the outward economy of Christianity. In regard to awakenings and conversions and ingatherings into the fold of Christ, they almost as uniformly tell a different story. It is a tale of wo. "I have labored in vain and spent my strength for nought." The heav- ens over them have been iron and brass, and the rain of the land powder and dust.
