 BY WHOM SHALL JACOB ARISE? FOR HE IS SMALL. 
 
 Jacob was third in the illustrious line from Abraham to 
 Christ; and his name is often used in the Old Testament 
 scriptures to designate the church — the chosen people of 
 God. 
 
 There is a propriety in retaining this use of his name under 
 the gospel. In some respects he is as striking a type of the 
 Christian Church as he was of the Jewish. Jacob stood in the 
 direct line from the promise to the coming of Christ. The 
 Church stands in the direct line from his coming to his final 
 triumph; and forms another and brighter part of the same 
 mighty chain of agencies which is to hold back the world from 
 wreck, draw it to Christ, and bind it to his throne. God 
 covenanted with Jacob, and remembered all the words of his 
 covenant ; so He has a covenant with the church, ordered in all 
 things and sure. Jacob wrestled with the Angel till the break 
 of day ; so the Church wrestles, not only with principalities and 
 powers, but with God also; and so it will wrestle, till a day of 
 millennial glory breaks upon the world. God would " cause 
 them that come of Jacob to take root, and bud and blossom, 
 and fill the face of the world with fruit;" so has he caused the 
 Church to take root, and will cause her to take still deeper root, 
 send out her boughs unto the sea, her branches unto the river, 
 cover the hills with her shadow, bud and blossom abundantly, 
 and scatter her fruit over all the earth. 
 
These points of resemblance might be traced with more 
 minuteness, and at greater length. But it is not necessary. 
 Enough has already been said to evince the propriety of accom- 
 modating the inquiry in the text to our present purpose, and 
 understanding it with special reference to the Church at the 
 present day. 
 
 Thus understood, the passage has three points which claim 
 attention : 
 
 I. The present condition of the Church ; 
 
 II. The Agent, — and 
 
 III. The instrumentality, by which it is to arise. 
 
 These are topics of engrossing interest to every Christian. 
 If he loves anything this side heaven, he loves the Church. 
 If he longs and prays for anything, it is for the day of her 
 redemption and enlargement. If, therefore, there is a theme 
 that can chain his thoughts and wake his interest, it is one that 
 respects her present condition and future prospects. 
 
 These topics are pertinent also to the present occasion. 
 What I shall say of the Church in general, is true of that 
 part of it which the Society, by whose appointment I speak, 
 is laboring to extend in this State. I may therefore presume 
 upon a wakeful interest, at least, in my subject. It lays near 
 every Christian heart ; and I cannot touch it, even unskilfully, 
 without stirring chords whose vibrations will be felt. 
 
 In speaking of the church, I mean not nominal Christendom. 
 That were making the basis too broad. Not a denominational 
 sect. That were making it too narrow and exclusive. But I 
 mean all, of every clime and creed, who have been regenerated 
 by the Spirit of God, are living by the faith of his Son, and 
 witnessing, by an earnest life, to the reality and power of the 
 gospel. 
 
 Thus defined, our first position is, — the church is small. 
 And I need not delay long to establish it. Argument would be 
 
superfluous. The proof is palpable as sunlight. He may run 
 
 that readeth. 
 
 It is small numerically. Though ages have rolled away, 
 since Christ said, "It is finished," "go, disciple all nations," 
 -still, darkness covers the earth, and gross darkness the 
 people. The road to death is broad, and densely thronged; 
 the path to heaven, narrow, and few in it. Look at the facts. 
 There are eight hundred millions of the earth's inhabitants. Of 
 these, not more than two hundred millions are even nominally 
 Christian. Of those two hundred millions, not more than 
 seventy millions have a pure faith. And of that number, but 
 a very small fraction have awaked to its claims, and felt its 
 transforming power. This world is, to-day, a heathen world. 
 A remnant only of its immortal millions are to be saved. 
 
 The Church is also small in influence. Its leaven is in the 
 world, silently and gradually doing its work; but the great 
 mass is yet unreached and unpurged. It is modifying, to some 
 extent, but not controlling its destinies. It is alleviating, but 
 not drying up the sources of, human woe. It has not yet laid its 
 giant gras°p upon the high places of infidelity and superstition, 
 wrestled clown principalities and powers, and changed the lion 
 to the lamb. Swords are not yet beaten into plow-shares; the 
 clanking of chains and the sighing of the prisoner, ceased ; 
 the fires of intemperance and lust extinguished ; God's name 
 revered ; his Sabbaths become a delight ; the mountain of the 
 Lord's house established upon the top of the mountains, and 
 the earth filled with the knowledge and glory of God. Such a 
 day has scarcely spread its first rays upon the mountains. 
 Compared with the influence which it is destined to exert, the 
 Church is still in the infancy of its strength. This position, 
 however, is not a necessary sequence of the previous one. The 
 Church, though few in number, might be mighty in influence. 
 Only let her be baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire— let the 
 spirit of primitive days repossess her— give her the faith and 
 self-denial of apostles, martyrs and reformers — and one would 
 
6 
 
 chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight. You 
 would behold Satan as lightning fall from heaven, his kingdom 
 crumble into atoms, and Jehovah's empire emerge out of its 
 ruins. Let the Church clothe herself with omnipotence by 
 prayer, bring her treasures and lay them upon the altar, and 
 gird herself up manfully for the work, and even with such 
 success as has already crowned her exertions, another genera- 
 tion would not pass away before the gospel would be preached 
 in all lands, and a wave of salvation roll over the earth. Her 
 three millions of members, with all their intelligence, influence, 
 energy, and stores of silver and gold, are sufficient, if they 
 could only be heartily enlisted. Why, then, is she small? 
 
 The text furnishes a key to this question. The Church, in 
 some sense, is prostrate. Hence the inquiry, By whom shall it 
 arise ? Hence the command, uttered by prophets and reechoed 
 by an apostle, "Arise, shine." " Arise from the dead." 
 Here we have the secret. The Church, in a sense, is prostrate, 
 as well as small; and small, because prostrate. An insolent 
 world has said to her, as it said to ancient Jerusalem, "Bow 
 down, that we may go over;" and if she "has not laid her 
 body as the ground, and as the street to them that went over," 
 she has given too much heed to that uncircumcised cry. 
 Instead of promptly joining issue with the enemies of the Lord, 
 and rising up in a mass to repel, with a martyr-spirit, all 
 opposition, and resist unto blood, if need be, striving against 
 sin — there has been sometimes a parleying, a yielding, a 
 surrender of her strong weapons, a prostration of her stern 
 principles, till, in too many instances, the world has gone over, 
 and carried its enterprises of wealth and ambition over, the 
 Church. You may say this is strong language — stronger than 
 facts will warrant. But the significant call from heaven still 
 is, "Arise, shake thyself from the dust." God's ministers 
 know that they stand in a valley of death, and prophesy to dry 
 bones. Heathens begin to suspect that the cry they send across 
 the waters and mountains for help, somehow, goes over the 
 
ear of the Church. Ministering spirits from heaven, if they 
 were to testify, would bear record, that many of their ministries 
 are for such as are prostrate. On earth, too, it is admitted, 
 and in ten thousand closets confessed and bemoaned and wept 
 over every day the sun rises. No man, who has eyes to see, 
 can be blind to the fact. This long spiritual dearth and death- 
 reign, under which the world is groaning, is confirmation of it. 
 This swift succession of worldly enterprises, with all the zest 
 and zeal and treasure and young life embarked in them, when 
 put in contrast with the slow, doubtful progress of the kingdom 
 of Christ, proves that the world is in the ascendant, and the 
 Church overborne. If a railroad is to be built, a mining 
 expedition fitted out, or any other profitable investment to be 
 made, the wealth and the men roll in by thousands ; but if a 
 world is to be redeemed from hell, there is a profusion of 
 nothing except pious wishes and impious excuses. 
 
 But I will cease from this unwelcome strain. I have pursued 
 it thus far, not because it is congenial to your feelings or my 
 own, but because it is true, a part of the subject, and necessary 
 to my object. If the truth, that the Church is prostrate, 
 cannot be wrought into our convictions, and made to burn on 
 our hearts, we may as well leave the subject where it is. For, 
 there can be neither interest nor pertinency in the inquiry, By 
 whom shall Jacob arise? unless it is admitted and felt that 
 Jacob is prostrate. 
 
 But if deeply impressed with this truth, and grieved and 
 borne down by it, we are prepared to inquire, by whom the 
 rising is to be. 
 
 One thing is conceded at the outset, and it should put forever 
 to silence gainsayers, and break the teeth of God's enemies. 
 The Church is prostrate in no such sense as those anticipate 
 who cry, " Rase it, rase it, even to the foundations thereof." 
 Let such know, they do not move those foundations — not a 
 single stone in them. They are laid in oaths and promises and 
 blood ; and to unsettle them, were to pull down the throne of 
 
I 
 
 8 
 
 God. They may plot and rage and foam out their own shame, 
 "nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure." The 
 Church is not prostrate in any such sense as the world is 
 prostrate. It is not, like that, " dead while it liveth." The 
 breath of a divine life is in it. It is not prostrate, even in the 
 same sense in which it was, one half a century since. It is 
 gathering up its energies, and girding itself to arise. It is 
 prostrate, not in the usual, but in a modified sense of the term. 
 Compared with what it ought to be, and shall one day be, it is 
 in a prostrate condition. But the day of its uprising is certain. 
 Hence, the text does not inquire, Shall Jacob arise? With 
 that point we have nothing to do. It is not an open question. 
 It was settled by an irrevocable decree, in the councils of 
 eternity — before the mountains were brought forth, or ever 
 man or the world was formed. The decision stands upon 
 the page of inspiration, engraven, as in rock, forever. " The 
 kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom 
 under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the 
 saints of the Most High, and all shall know Sim, from the 
 least to the greatest." Though depressed for a season, God 
 is able to lift her up and make her stand. He has promised 
 to do it, and heaven and earth shall pass away before one jot 
 or tittle of that promise can fail. " Rejoice not against her, 
 therefore, ye, her enemies, for yet a little time and He 
 that shall come, will come, and Zion shall arise and shine." 
 " The Gentiles shall come to her light, and kings to the 
 brightness of her rising. Her sun shall no more go down, 
 neither shall her moon withdraw itself; for the Lord shall be 
 her everlasting light, and the days of her mourning shall be 
 ended." That point, then, is settled. The Church shall arise 
 — arise in majesty and beauty, and shine with immortal lustre. 
 But, 
 
 II. By whom shall it arise ? This is our next question. 
 The universal, stereotyped answer to which is, God must lift 
 
up, hold up and build up, the Church. It is not to be done by 
 man. His arm is flesh ; and all flesh, grass. He can no more 
 raise up the Church, than he can raise up, and bear up, the 
 pillars of the earth. It requires omnipotence — the almighty 
 power of God. Such is the current answer to this question. 
 The doctrine is a good one, a scriptural one. We cannot hold 
 it too firmly, nor act upon it too confidently. 
 
 But we may hold it in unrighteousness. God does other 
 things as well as raise up Jacob. He must raise up the sick 
 man from his bed of languishing. Physicians cannot do it — 
 friends cannot. God must do it, or he will die. But hoik 
 does He do it? Not by miracle — not by empiricism — not by 
 a reckless violation of the laws of nature and science. But, by 
 appropriate means — means which, in his own infinite wisdom, 
 he has appointed — means skilfully adapted to the end. 
 
 God raises up the oak of the forest, but he does not produce 
 it from a pebble, nor make it draw its giant-life from the bald, 
 storm-swept rock. He must have the acorn and the soil te 
 make it with. 
 
 God raises up the little flower, and baptizes it in the hues 
 of the rainbow. But he does not rear it amid icebergs and 
 eternal snows. He gives it a genial soil and climate ; lets the 
 sun shine and the dews distill upon it. Thus, whatever God 
 does, whether in the natural or spiritual world, He does in 
 accordance with established laws. This fact we are to keep 
 in view, in deciding the question now before us. We are 
 not to settle down on the doctrine of divine sovereignty — 
 fold up our hands, and say, God is the Repairer of breaches, 
 He must raise up Jacob — and expect to see the work wrought 
 by miracle, the world galvanized into life, and gathered without 
 human instrumentality. This is not God's method. If He 
 raises up Jacob, and fills the world with her influence, as He 
 surely will, He will do it in his own way. And this brings 
 
 us to inquire, 
 
 B 
 
10 
 
 III. For the instrumentality which God will employ for 
 this purpose. This point is as simple as the last. He will do 
 it through the agencies which the Church employs. And here 
 comes into view the apparently strange, and yet philosophic and 
 scriptural idea, that the Church is to arise and prevail through 
 her own activities. I say philosophical, for it is similar to what 
 we see in nature. God rears, matures and perfects the human 
 body, through the means and agencies which the body itself 
 employs. If it neglect those means — if it refuse sustenance, 
 exercise, rest and air — the channels through which God com 
 municates vitality, health and increase, — it ceases to grow, it 
 pines and dies. The idea is also scriptural. " The kingdom of 
 heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and 
 sowed in his field." It was the least of all seeds ; it became 
 the greatest among herbs. Its growth was from within, and 
 through itself. It was by an expansion of itself that it became 
 a tree, and afforded shade and shelter. In other words, God 
 employed its mysterious internal circulations as the channels 
 through which he communicated vitality and increase to it. 
 So the Church has within itself, the channels through which 
 He will communicate life, growth and extension to it. She is 
 the medium, and the only medium of salvation to a world. 
 God sends his message by her mouth. He transmits his Spirit 
 through her heart. He builds his temple by her hands. As in 
 the case of the human body, He makes the means necessary 
 to her existence minister to her growth ; and her growth is the 
 salvation of the world. 
 
 By these simple steps, we arrive at a full and correct answer 
 to the inquiry in the text. The Church is to arise from her 
 prostration, fill the earth with her converts and influence, and 
 wield the dominion and destiny of the world, by the great 
 power of God working through and by her own instrumentalities. 
 
 Why, then, is not Jacob arisen ? you may ask. God is able 
 to lift him up. His arm is not shortened that it cannot save. 
 There is a Church, his own constituted organization for the 
 
11 
 
 work to be wrought. The agent and the instrument are both 
 ready. Why, then, moves the chariot of the gospel so tardily ? 
 Why does it not rush over the earth like a whirlwind ? The 
 only satisfactory solution of this question is to be found in the 
 present disordered state of this instrumentality. There must 
 be not only a medium of communication between heaven and 
 earth, but a proper medium. This principle is as important 
 in the spiritual, as in the natural world. You cannot send 
 electricity through the land upon wires of glass, nor even upon 
 metallic wires when they lie stretched upon the ground. No 
 more can a prostrate Church conduct the electric fires of God's 
 truth and Spirit from heaven to earth. It must arise, come up 
 to its proper position, and be in contact with the throne, as well 
 as with the footstool. When thus elevated, and the rust it has 
 gathered is purged away, the light will go, like electricity, from 
 pole to pole, and set the moral heavens all in a blaze. The 
 light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and th2 light 
 of the sun sevenfold, as the light of seven days. 
 
 The practical conclusion to which we are brought, thee, is 
 this: The one thing needed to make the gospel triumphant, 
 and bring the world to Christ, is, A higher standard cf 
 
 PIETY IN THE CHURCH, A DEEPER AND RICHER EXPERIENCE 
 
 OP the power of faith in the soul. The bare statement 
 of this fact, however, is not enough. It has been stated ten 
 thousand times — confessed in ten thousand closets — stated 
 and confessed, till it has almost lost its significance. Men 
 want to know how such a cause is to produce this result. 
 They want to see the problem wrought out before their eyes. 
 Upon this point, therefore, it is necessary to bestow a few 
 thoughts. 
 
 The Church has two classes of instrumentality : intrusted, 
 one to the ministry, and the other to the laity ; and it is easy 
 to show how a deeper toned piety would render more vigorous 
 and effective each of these classes. We begin, where the 
 reform ought to begin, with the ministry. 
 
12 
 
 In the first place, it would simplify and concentrate its aim, 
 bind the minister to one object, make his eye single, and his 
 whole soul and life flow in one channel. I do not mean that 
 it would simply prevent him from turning aside to other 
 pursuits, as a calling. That, of course, he will not do. The 
 least that can be expected is, that he will keep to his work, 
 stand in his watch-tower, with the trumpet to his mouth, ready 
 to blow an alarm in God's holy mountain at the first approach 
 of danger. But a quickened zeal for God would carry him far 
 beyond all this. It would make prominent and all-engrossing, 
 one single object in his high calling. His own reputation he 
 would forget; his ease, literary and scientific pleasures, social 
 happiness, and all those minor things which sometimes distract 
 and debilitate the ministry, would be wholly absorbed and lost 
 sight of, in his zeal for a higher object. The salvation of souls 
 would be the great burden and struggle of his life; and his 
 ministry, he would regard as defective, and comparatively 
 barren, if it failed in this respect. The ordinary routine of 
 ministerial labor would not satisfy him. The fact that he had 
 faithfully expounded the Scriptures, brought beaten oil into the 
 temple, was accounted learned, laborious and eloquent, had 
 ministered consolation to the afflicted, and pointed the dying to 
 Christ, in a word, had acquired the reputation of a wise and 
 able minister of the New Testament, all this would not suffice, 
 unless he had had such unction of spirit, such pathos and power 
 of utterance, such a baptism of the Holy Ghost and faith, as 
 had made the word from his lips like the fire and hammer that 
 breaketh the rock in pieces, and had brought his hearers to 
 feel as he feels, that there is but one thing for them to do, one 
 interest to take care of, one world to provide for, and that all 
 other things are of trivial importance. 
 
 In the second place, this quenchless zeal for God would not 
 only simplify the aim, but control the themes of the pulpit, and 
 give character to its ministrations. The great, commanding 
 object would be kept constantly in view. And in giving 
 
13 
 
 prominence, weight and authority to that, the godly minister 
 would show his workmanship and skill. While he would admit 
 that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is 
 to be seasonably and proportionally exhibited, still, the saving 
 of the soul being the supreme object, his weapons would be 
 selected with special reference to that end. His grand aim 
 would be to arrest attention, thrust home conviction and reach 
 the heart. Idle speculations he would let alone ; first principles 
 speedily adjust. Points which the Bible assumes, he would 
 not labor to prove. Among the outposts of truth, where some 
 men spend their days, he would make a short stay, and come 
 at once to the heart and conscience. His earnest spirit, his 
 zeal for God, would save the necessity and better serve the 
 object of these speculations. Instead, for example, of a labored 
 argument to prove the existence of a God, he would bring so 
 much of God into every truth he announced, and every appeal 
 he made, as to silence the sceptic as no logic could. Instead 
 of formally proving the inspiration of the Bible, he would make 
 the Bible inspire the infidel with faith in its revelations. Instead 
 of direct labor with the man who disbelieves there is a hell, 
 he would array God's justice and the sinner's guilt in such a 
 convincing light before him, as should extort from him the 
 exclamation, "I feel its fires already within me." In this 
 manner, he would sweep away false refuges, break up carnal 
 security, bring home God's law, hold up the cross, the crown, 
 and whatever in the gospel is fitted to move and melt and 
 save the soul. This 'pleasing men, this tickling itching ears, 
 this effort at rhetorical flourish, literary display, intellectual 
 gratification, a deeper piety would at once arrest, and bring to 
 a perpetual end. The man of God, burning with divine zeal, 
 and intent on saving the soul, can descend to no such artifices. 
 He will please men, and rejoice to do it, if they will be pleased 
 with God's naked truth. He will gratify their taste, if they 
 love the law and the cross. But beyond this he cannot go. 
 The solemnity and urgency of his message forbid it. 
 
14 
 
 In the third place, such piety as we speak of would control 
 the manner, as well as the matter, of preaching. In this 
 respect, it would revolutionize the pulpit, and give it an unction, 
 energy and power, which it does not now generally possess, and 
 which it would be hard to withstand. And this is a point over 
 which too much jealousy cannot be exercised. If men are to 
 be reached and moved by things unseen, it will be by earnest 
 tones and a spirit itself strongly moved. To discourse upon 
 themes of everlasting moment, in a cold, lifeless strain — to 
 treat of the soul and eternity, death and judgment, heaven and 
 hell, without the moving of a muscle, or the swelling of an 
 emotion — is to lay our sincerity under suspicion, and challenge 
 neglect of our message. If there is an occasion on earth, upon 
 which the strong man should bow himself, and his eye kindle, 
 and his heart be on fire, it is when he stands up between the 
 living and the dead, to urge the claims of God upon men. It 
 is difficult to understand how any man, whose heart is not dead, 
 can execute coldly such a commission, and let words, which are 
 to be life or death to his hearers, turn to icicles on his lips. 
 Look at the fearful position he occupies, and the thoughts 
 which one would imagine would crowd his mind ! Those faces, 
 now turned toward him, will soon gather paleness ; those eyes, 
 be closed in death; those tongues, unless they soon cry for 
 mercy, be calling on rocks and mountains ; those spirits which 
 now animate his auditory, be gone, — gone from the sanctuary, 
 gone from probation, gone beyond hope and help; and disem- 
 bodied, be dwelling among far other scenes, their account 
 scaled, their immortality unalterably fixed. And as he looks 
 and thinks, and ventures beyond the veil, and faith leads him 
 in, and on and up, and he sees the throne, the Judge, the 
 world assembled, the trial in progress, one, acquitted and going 
 up to his reward — another, condemned, and sinking into the 
 flames below — and remembers, these souls for which J watch 
 will be there, how can he be calm, and cold, and stop to round 
 his periods, measure his sentences and elaborate his style? 
 
15 
 
 How can lie think of anything, strive for anything, or be 
 satisfied with anything, save the outpouring of a heart bleeding 
 and breaking with compassion, solicitude and love ? 0, had we 
 a depeer love to God and souls, what fire it would breathe into 
 our logic ; what irresistible energy and pathos into our appeals ; 
 and what power should we be endowed with, to rouse the 
 sleeper, and wake the dead. 
 
 In the fourth place, such zeal for God would be felt, not 
 only in the pulpit, but among the flock. The minister is to be 
 not only an embassador, but a pastor. He is not only to teach 
 publicly, but from house to house ; and in order to a constant, 
 earnest and skilful performance of this part of his work, he 
 needs no common measure of faith and zeal. In his Sabbath 
 ministrations, the excitement of the occasion, the importance 
 of his message, the sanctity of the day, the place and the office, 
 may kindle enthusiasm, and inspire temporary earnestness and 
 unction ; but when he comes down from his watch-tower, and 
 goes into the private walks of life, and takes men by the hand 
 to urge them, as a friend, to break oif their sins and turn to 
 God, nothing but a deep and unaffected love for Christ and 
 souls can subserve his purpose, and inspire arguments and 
 tones that will produce conviction and win the heart. And for 
 one, I cannot doubt, that one strong reason why we attempt 
 so little of this kind of labor, and are so ineffectual in it, is, 
 because there is so little of the constraining love and grace 
 of Christ in our hearts. For no part of our work do we so 
 urgently need a fresh anointing from on High ; and in no part 
 of it, would the effects of such anointing be more signal and 
 glorious. 
 
 In the light of these brief remarks, we see how increased 
 piety in the ministry would tend to the result for which we 
 are inquiring. It would bring all its forces up to the main 
 point to be secured, put into its hands the best weapons which 
 the armory of truth could furnish, and impart zeal, nerve and 
 adroitness in wielding them. 
 
16 
 
 But the ministry is not to labor alone, in this work. The 
 laity is to cooperate. And our next inquiry is, how more 
 holiness on their part would tend to the same result ? 
 
 1. It would hallow, and set in a strong and convincing light, 
 the example of the Church. It would make it like a city set 
 on an hill. In the midst of all the light that shines down from 
 heaven, the world is in darkness, and stumbling upon the 
 mountains. It needs illuminating by a godly example — an 
 argument, to meet it in every walk of life, on every day of the 
 week — a light, from which it cannot turn away — a witness to 
 the truth, which the pulpit and the press can never summon. 
 " It sounds, it reads, well," says the world, " it looks plausible, 
 but give us a sample of the religion you recommend. Let us 
 see it embodied in a living form, and then, we believe." Now, 
 how is the Church to make this exhibition, and silence these 
 cavils ? Without holiness, it is a dead body. Without more 
 than its present measure of holiness, it will fail to make the 
 conviction strong and universal, that the gospel is the great 
 power of God and must prevail. But let the breath of heaven 
 come from the four winds, and blow upon it, vitalizing its 
 dormant energies, and infusing new faith and hope into its 
 bosom, and it would wake from its slumbers, and arise from the 
 dust, stand erect in the image of God, and bear a testimony 
 which infidelity and unbelief could not invalidate nor resist. 
 
 2. A more fervent piety would impel the laity to the throne 
 of grace, and give it power with God. It would impart such 
 humble boldness, such vigor of faith, such earnest desire and 
 hope, such longings for God's glory and a world's redemption, 
 that it could not rest, till the Highest should bow his heavens, 
 and come down and make the mountains flow down and the 
 nations tremble at his presence. And when Christians take 
 that place, get imbued with that spirit, and begin to employ 
 that instrumentality, know ye, that redemption is nigh, even at 
 the doors. The arm of the Lord will awake as in ancient days, 
 and a short work will He make upon the earth. Great will be 
 
17 
 
 the company of those that publish salvation. His word will 
 run very swiftly. The Spirit will go forth with it, making it 
 like the fire and hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces. 
 Pagan temples will be demolished, heathen deities dethroned, 
 the iniquity of Jacob purged out, revolution follow revolution, 
 like successive waves of the sea, the purposes of redemption 
 roll on to their final accomplishment, and the kingdoms of this 
 world become the kingdoms of Christ. But, what is the secret 
 upon which depends the coming down of this great power of 
 God that is to wake and save the nations? The throne of 
 grace is nothing new. It has stood for ages. There is nothing 
 new in the promise, "Ask, and ye shall receive." Why, then, 
 has not that throne been approached, the promise claimed, and 
 the world redeemed ? The answer is obvious. There is need 
 of a strength of faith, and a depth and vigor of holiness, not 
 yet attained. When the Church is girded with these, and goes 
 boldly to the throne, with her mouth full of arguments, and her 
 heartbreaking with desire, and says, with Jacob, "I will not 
 let thee go, except thou bless me," a new era will dawn upon 
 the world. But, 
 
 3. Example and prayer are not all that is necessary in 
 rebuilding the Church. Though a spiritual kingdom, it has 
 some reliance on material things. It must have pecuniary 
 resources. .Such is the divine economy. And on this account, 
 Gf-od made the riches of this world. He never opened such 
 numerous broad streams of wealth, and filled the bowels of the 
 earth with silver and gold, merely to pamper fleshly appetites, 
 gratify human avarice, and curse men, body and soul. He 
 had other and higher objects in view ; and it is strange that 
 good men do not see it. He made these corruptible treasures 
 to minister to his incorruptible kingdom. He wants them to 
 make Bibles, to build sanctuaries and preach the gospel with. 
 He must have them. A work is to be wrought, which faith 
 alone cannot accomplish, though pure and strong as Abraham's. 
 
 c 
 
18 
 
 The silver and gold must go with it. And at the present day, 
 the demand, in this respect, is loud and urgent. The cause of 
 God labors at this point, perhaps, as much as at any other. 
 Stint, curtailment, embarrassed operation, overdrawn treasuries, 
 these are the doleful complaints which come up from every 
 quarter, and wail in every breeze. Why is it ? There is 
 wealth enough in the Church to meet every demand, to which 
 God has a clear title — wealth, now worse than thrown away, 
 and for want of which, the world is sinking to hell. Then, why 
 this penury? This question is sometimes gravely discussed 
 and debated in the assemblies of the saints, and methods 
 proposed, and machinery, and, I had almost said, tortures, 
 invented to "worm out" of the Church, the means necessary 
 to carry forward its operations. It is all idle — breath wasted. 
 There is but one cause for this withholding, and but one way to 
 effectually cure it. Get a man's heart open, and you get his 
 purse open. Fill him with the love of God, and you empty 
 him of avarice. Make his soul overflow with benevolence, and 
 his treasures will run out with it. God and Mammon have no 
 concord. They Avill not inhabit the same heart at the same 
 time. Let the Church be filled with faith and the Holy Ghost, 
 and the silver and gold would flow into the Lord's treasury by 
 millions ; and if she could not get a sufficiency in any other 
 way, she would go to California and dig it out of the depths of 
 the earth. We see, then, how a supreme devotion to Christ, 
 would bring up the laity to the help of the Lord. It would 
 give us their wealth, their prayers and their example. More 
 than these, God does not ask, nor the world need. 
 
 As a practical conclusion of the whole matter, the subject 
 brings us all to a single point, and urges upon us one immediate 
 duty. Whether ministers or laymen, we all need one thing, 
 and but one. Give us this, and we have all things and abound. 
 Deny us this, and we are imbecile, crippled and unfurnished for 
 our work. It is not intelligence, stability, orthodoxy, influence, 
 
19 
 
 wealth, numbers, one or all, that we most need. More than any 
 or all of these, we need a heart filled and fired with the love of 
 God and the compassions of Jesus. And this is an attainment 
 which we are to make, not in our associated capacity — not as 
 a body — but each for himself. It is a personal, individual 
 work. The motives to such self-consecration are before us. 
 The Church is small, feeble, prostrate. Let us go out and 
 view her desolations, at home and abroad — in "The great 
 East," and greater West — and let the sight of our eyes affect 
 and stir our hearts. But let us not despond. There is much 
 to encourage, as well as humble. God is on the throne. Zion 
 is engraven on his hands. Her very dust is precious in his 
 eyes. He is able and willing to lift her up. His arm is 
 outstretched for this purpose. He waits and calls for her 
 arising. The world waits, too, and dies as it waits. One thing 
 only seems to be wanting to bring deliverance and salvation — 
 the descent of the Holy Spirit upon us — a fresh application of 
 atoning blood to our hearts. Shall it be made? made now? 
 There is no time to lose. The harvest of the world is ripe, 
 and must be garnered soon, or never. Death is busy at his 
 work. The standard-bearers are falling. The godly man 
 ceaseth, and the faithful fail from among the children of men. 
 The late Secretary of this Society is gone since our last annual 
 gathering. His venerable form is laid low. His wise counsels 
 and animating words, we hear no more. Others are fast 
 pressing on, in his footsteps, and all things conspire to urge us 
 to gird ourselves anew, and do with our might, whatsoever our 
 hand findeth to do. 
 
FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 
 
 OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE 
 
 MAINE MISSIONARY SOCIETY, 
 
 AT THEIR 
 
 ANNUAL MEETING IN BATH, JUNE 27, 1849. 
 
 In commencing their Report at this Forty-second Annual Meeting, 
 the Trustees would bring before the Society the minute which they 
 put upon their records, the last winter: — 
 
 " The Trustees of the Maine Missionary Society, now assembled at their semi-annual 
 meeting, are called to mourn, as a body, the death of their venerable Secretary, the Rev. Dr. 
 Giiaett. While their places have been often respectively vacated and filled in successive 
 years, he has been the constant occupant of his office, from the foundation of this Society, in 
 1807, until last October, a period of more than forty -one years. He has devoted to its service 
 the energy of middle life, with the unimpaired powers of his declining days ; and when his 
 80th summer had been completed, and fatal disease was commissioned to do its work, he was 
 arrested, while still in the service of this Society, with his eye scarcely dim, or his natural 
 force abated. The Trustees would here record the expression of their deep sense of his 
 fidelity and zeal in the discharge of his official duties during this long period. His heart, as 
 was apparent to every one, was bound up in the work of Domestic Missions, in promoting 
 the welfare of our feeble churches, and the comfort of the missionaries sent forth to their 
 aid. During his long term of service, tbe Congregational churches of Maine have probably 
 trebled in number and in strength ; and it is difficult to determine how much of their 
 prosperity has been owing, under God, to the labors of Dr. Gillett. The favor which the 
 Society itself has ever possessed, and which has been so long increasing, has been in no 
 small measure secured for its operations, by the personal respect universally felt for its chief 
 executive officer. His steadfast love for the Gospel, of which he was so long a minister, his 
 uniform Christian courtesy, his equanimity and cheerfulness of spirit, the blamelessness of 
 his daily conduct, and his devotedness to the work of strengthening our feeble churches, 
 were widely known, and were in themselves letters of recommendation to the Congregation- 
 alists of Maine. His Annual Reports, which were so felicitously written, and so generally 
 admired, were but the unstudied exhibition of this happy assemblage of qualities. While 
 the Trustees would heartily sympathize with the bereaved family, they would at the same 
 time express their thankfulness that the life of their venerable friend was so long protracted, 
 and also that he was enabled to glorify God during the weeks of his final sickness, and in the 
 hour of death." 
 
 In this high appreciation of the revered and beloved man, whose 
 «' praise " for so long a time has been " in all our churches," the members 
 and missionaries of this Society are all ready, we are sure, most cordially 
 
 to unite. 
 
22 
 
 " I cannot forbear," writes one of our missionaries, in January last, " in justice to my 
 own feelings, and to the departed, to bear testimony to the exalted character and high 
 moral worth of Dr. Gillett. I venerated him as a father, and now feel his loss. All the 
 communications which I received from him, bore in them the language of kindness and 
 urbanity, for which he was so much distinguished. Heaven grant that his mantle may fall 
 on his successor in office." 
 
 The late Annual Report of the American Home Missionary Society, 
 after speaking of Dr. G. as the Secretary of this Society for the period of 
 forty-one years, proceeds thus : — 
 
 " He sought its prosperity with wisdom and kindness, with energy, perseverance, faith, 
 and a spirit of self-sacrifice. As the wants of the destitute, the trials and privations of his 
 brethren were ever on his heart, so words of encouragement and hope continually distilled 
 from his lips. The missionary work, which had so engrossed him in life, and the goodness 
 of God, which had so long spared him to labor for its advancement, were the last themes to 
 linger upon his tongue, as it was trembling in death — and to call forth from his spirit, as it 
 was struggling for its emancipation, ascriptions of praise." 
 
 But he is gone. And we, who survive him, shall soon follow. With 
 increased interest may we consecrate ourselves anew to the promotion of 
 that cause, which, with such untiring assiduity, he labored to promote ; 
 and may his " appeal " to " the conscience and the heart of every 
 individual Christian present" at our last anniversary, " and to the whole 
 body of Christians in our commonwealth," now come home to our hearts 
 with augmented force, urging us to "awake to unwonted effort, and to 
 render a ready and willing obedience to the Saviour's command, Go ye 
 into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, beginning at 
 Maine." 
 
 The Trustees will now present before the Society, a summary view of 
 the labors performed under their direction during the past year. 
 
 ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MISSIONARIES. 
 
 Rev. Edward F. Abbott, West Newfield, 7 weeks. 
 
 This mission was at first granted to the Rev. Elias Chapman, pastor of the church. But he 
 being obliged to suspend his labors by ill health, the commission, by his request and that of 
 the people, was given to Mr. Abbott. 
 
 Rev. John C. Adams, East Machias, 3 months. 
 Rev. A. J. Bates, Lincoln, 6 months. 
 
 To the church in this place one has been added by profession, and two by letter. " Perfect 
 harmony prevails, and, I trust," says the pastor, " that we are not, as a church, without 
 much spiritual enjoyment ; but we still feel the need of a reviving from on high to make us 
 more faithful, and to awaken careless sinners. The people have contributed considerably 
 more for my support, than the first year I came. The experience I have had has impressed 
 me more and more with the importance of sustaining this ground ; and without any selfish 
 feelings in the matter, I ardently hope it will be sustained. I feel that it must be. We have 
 wickedness to contend with in many forms ; but it is giving way gradually before the 
 powerful influences of God's truth ; and I cannot but hope, that God has greater designs of 
 good for us in future. — I wish we had more laborers in this vicinity. One is certainly needed 
 
23 
 
 at Passadumkeag and Moluncus, and another to missionate up and down our river, and 
 explore little neighborhoods hack of us, where other denominations do not labor." 
 
 Mr. G. F. Bacon, Jefferson, Washington and Windsor, 6 weeks. 
 Rev. Gilman Bachellek, Jonesborough, 7 weeks. 
 Rev. Mighill Blood, Freedom, Thorndike, and Swanville, 6 weeks. 
 Rev. Samuel Bovvker, Union, 3 months. 
 Mr. William M. Boyd, Weld, 1 month. 
 
 The people in Weld were highly gratified with the services of Mr. Boyd, and very desirous 
 of the continuance of them. 
 
 Mr. Jonas Burnham, North Augusta, 1 month. 
 Rev. Isaac Carlton, Oxford, 6 months. 
 
 " The prospect is more hopeful than it was a year since. We need greatly the outpouring 
 of the Spirit, and for this we will not cease to pray." 
 
 Rev. E. G. Carpenter, Dexter, 21 1-2 weeks. 
 
 " During the winter past, there has been some religious interest in the village and remote 
 districts of the town. Several hopeful conversions have occurred in each of the religious 
 societies. Evangelical principles have gained something, we trust ; and incorruptible seed 
 has been sown, which, in God's own time, will enable the servants of Christ to return, 
 rejoicing, bearing their sheaves with them." 
 
 Rev. A. P. Chute, Harrison, 10 1-2 weeks. 
 
 " A few connected with the society, have recently expressed the hope, that they were 
 renewed in spirit ; and as yet nothing has transpired to render doubtful the genuineness of 
 their conversion." 
 
 Rev. Dana Clayes, Mercer and vicinity, 1 month, and Swanville, 3 
 months. 
 
 ' ; I can say with all my heart," writes Mr. Clayes, while at Swanville, " that the M. S. 
 have done right in sending help to this place. My reasons are, 1st, it is eminently needed. 
 The mass of the people seem to be perishing for lack of knowledge. Some five years had 
 passed, since any stated preaching of the Gospel was enjoyed ; and very little moral light 
 was diffused in other ways 2. No stated preaching is sustained by other denominations. 
 3. The attention given to the means of grace, has. been quite as good as could reasonably be 
 expected. 4. A number of families, connected with Searsport church, can be much more 
 conveniently accommodated at Swanville. 5. there are some two or three females in 
 Swanville who are eminently alive for God. One seems to have worn herself out in the 
 Lord's service. Though in moderate circumstances, she has paid into the treasury of the 
 Lord, for various benevolent objects, within a few years, more than six hundred dollars. A 
 sermon from Dr. Gillett, preached at Swanville, a number of years ago, from Exodus 14 : 15, 
 seems to have been the commencement of her missionary zeal." 
 
 Rev. Sumner Clark, Unity, 21 1-2 weeks/ 
 
 In April last Mr. Clark was dismissed, and the church is now destitute of a pastor. 
 
 Rev. Thomas W. Clark, Phillips and vicinity, 21 1-2 weeks. 
 
 In October last, Mr. Clark was ordained pastor of the church in Phillips. Of late he 
 has been preaching half the time in Weld. In Phillips, " many of the saints have been 
 quickened. A large number of young persons seem to be interested in the services of the 
 sanctuary. Eleven persons intend to join the church by letter, and two by profession." 
 
 Rev. Albert Cole, Winslow, 14 weeks. 
 
 Rev. J. H. Conant, Chesterville and Fayette, 14 weeks. 
 
24 
 
 Mr. J. B. Cook, Glenburn, 4 weeks. 
 
 " During the year past they have had no stated preaching of any kind ; and, as might 
 naturally be expected, error and irreligion prevail. But there are some who truly love 
 the cause of Christ, and mourn over the desolations of Zion. They have as yet no meeting 
 house. A Sabbath school it is expected will be organized upon the next Sabbath, (June 10th,) 
 and an effort will be made to sustain preaching during a part, at least, of the summer." 
 
 Mr. Hiram C. Daniels, Kennebunkport, 10 1-2 weeks. 
 
 The labors of Mr. Daniels with this people have ceased, and they have extended au 
 unanimous invitation to Rev. John Baker to become their pastor. 
 
 Rev. William Davenport, Strong and vicinity, 27 weeks. 
 
 The new meetinghouse in Strong is nearly completed, and much benefit is anticipated 
 from " concentrating the ministrations of the Gospel in one place, instead of their being 
 scattered and broken up in fragments, as they have been hitherto. The past year has been, 
 on some accounts, to the church and to him who has ministered among them, a year of 
 severe trial ; but their prospects are now brightening. Two cases have occurred of hopeful 
 conversion." 
 
 Rev. Timothy Davis, Litchfield, 7 weeks. 
 
 " Three families, during the year, have removed from this place, taking from our church 
 five members. Another family is to move next week, in which both the parents are church 
 members. There has been one addition to the church of a man over seventy years of age. 
 There have been two conversions recently — one, a promising young man, the other, a girl 
 about 16 years of age, who is not expected to live long. There is some waking up in the 
 church ; and some seriousness on the minds of a few among the youth." 
 
 Air. John K. Deering, Shirley, and Grenville, at the foot of Moose 
 Head Lake, 4 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Deering spent two weeks at each of these two places. In Shirley, there are six or eight 
 Congregational professors ; in Grenville, but one. " In Shirley," when Mr. D. left, the last 
 of May, " there had been four or five hopeful conversions, and the interest still continued." 
 
 Rev. John Dodd, Turner, 10 1-2 weeks. 
 
 On the first Sabbath in July last, thirteen united with the church on the profession of 
 their faith, who were the fruits of a revival reported at the last anniversary. " This spring, 
 again the influences of the Holy Spirit have gently fallen upon us, and several have indulged 
 a hope. Ten now stand propounded, and expect to unite with the church next Sabbath. 
 There has never before been so deep a feeling in the church, since I have been connected 
 with them, as for a few weeks past. The converts appear well, and are evidently growing in 
 grace, Most of them are members of the Sabbath school. There is among us an increased 
 willingness to give for the support of the Gospel. Their subscriptions are larger than the 
 year before ; and they have nearly completed the building of a parsonage." 
 
 Rev. Samuel S. Drake, Biddeford, 15 weeks. 
 
 Under date of June 1st, Mr. Drake writes: — "During the past winter, the church was 
 greatly revived, and received an impulse, which, we hope, it will never lose. As a conse- 
 quence, the house of God has been made more attractive and inviting ; the number of 
 hearers has been increased ; a spirit of benevolence awakened ; our prospects for doing good 
 enlarged, and our hopes strengthened. — I was installed May 19th." 
 
 Mr. G. W. Dunmore, Weston, 6 weeks. 
 
 A good lady from Bangor has been teaching a school in this place during the winter, and 
 her labors have been greatly blessed. Some fifteen or more have indulged the hope, that 
 they have become the disciples of Jesus, and give, as the missionary thinks, very fair 
 
25 
 
 evidence of having been regenerated. While he was there, two or three thought they had 
 passed from death to life. One of whom was a thoughtless young woman who dated her 
 convictions from the first Sabbath he preached there. 
 
 Rev. Joshca Eaton, Lee, Springfield and Carroll, 12 months. Bur- 
 lington was also included in his field of labors, until the first of November 
 last. 
 
 " Some cases of seriousness were found, in the earliar part of the season, in one of our 
 schools in Lee ; and at least one case occurred of hopeful conversion. The Sunday schools, 
 both in Lee and Springfield, have been attended with more than usual interest ; and in the 
 latter place it was decided to keep up a Bible class through the winter. Prejudices agains 
 our order are subsiding ; and there is strong encouragement to labor in hope of futuret 
 results. The people are mostly rather poor, as new settlements usually are ; and to board a 
 missionary and his horse, is nearly as much as they can well do. The church consists of 17 
 members — six of them in Lee, five in Springfield, four in Carroll, and two in No. Four, a 
 township north of Carroll. There are other settlements in this vicinity, that have been 
 destitute of preaching for months, which I have been solicited repeatedly to visit, but have 
 not been able. Contributions to Missionary Society amount to $12 75. 
 
 Rev. Manning Ellis, Brooksville, (2 churches) 7 weeks. 
 Under date of 15th of June, instant, Mr. Ellis thus writes — "I hope it is not without 
 heartfelt joy and gratitude, that I am enabled, at the close of this missionary year, to 
 communicate more interesting intelligence, than I have for some years past. 
 
 God has in great mercy visited the Brooksville church, the past winter and spring, with 
 the special influences of his Spirit. Sometime in February, the church held a protracted 
 meeting, in connexion with our Methodist brethren, which continued, without much 
 cessation, for nearly three weeks. 
 
 Immediately after the meeting commenced, the Holy Spirit appeared to be striving with 
 many. 
 
 Professed Christians were much awakened from a state of spiritual lethargy, which had 
 been brooding over them for a long time. They were much broken down under a sense of 
 their criminal backslidings ; and were brought to intercede earnestly at the throne of grace 
 in behalf of the impenitent, and especially for their own households. Their prayers were 
 heard; they experienced in a good degree answers to their supplications. Many were 
 convicted, and we trust were converted. The whole number hopefully converted I cannot 
 tell. Some over thirty have united with the Methodists. Seven have united with tbe 
 Congregational church, and we expect as large a number to come forward at our next 
 communion. 
 
 Christians, who have been for a long time so much at variance as not to commune together, 
 have been brought to confess their faults one to another, and again, in company to come to 
 the table of the Lord. In the other church in this place there has been no particular interest. 
 , A few individuals, however, appear to be mourning over the desolations of Zion here, and 
 are agonizing in prayer that God would appear among them by the special influences of his 
 Spirit. Our congregation on the Sabbath is much larger than it has been, and is increasing 
 every Sabbath. Our social meetings are also much better attended ; and a deep, solemn 
 feeling appears to rest on the minds of many." 
 
 Mr. R. W. Emerson, Aroostook County, 12 months. 
 
 In Hodgdon there has been decided progress in the Temperance cause. Interesting 
 meetings are held every month. At New Limerick, the attendance upon preaching has been 
 very good, though there are but two church members. At Monticello, some who once 
 neglected meetings, now attend with considerable constancy. " The field in this county is 
 great, and the labor very arduous." 
 
 B 
 
26 
 
 Rev. A. W. Fjske, Houlton, 3 months. 
 
 Rev. Jonas Fiske, Lisbon, 14 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Fiske has recently closed his labors at Lisbon, and is now supplying the church in 
 Durham. 
 
 Rev. John P. Foster, Sweden, 14 weeks. 
 
 " The number in the church has been enlarged by the admission of five by letter, and 
 will be by two through profession, at our next communion. A very good degree of Christian 
 harmony prevails. A Sabbath school exists, of about sixty, with good hopes of increase. 
 Contributions to benevolent objects, during the past year, have been, it is believed, more 
 than double those of any previous year ; and the number attending on the Sabbath has been 
 increased, and been more regular, uniform and attentive. More seriousness has existed for 
 some months ; and some 20 or more instances of conversion are thought to have occurred 
 among our brethren, the Freewill Baptists." 
 
 Mr. George Gannett, Weld, 3 weeks. 
 
 Rev. John H. Garman, Limington and vicinity, 18 weeks. 
 
 " A good degree of external prosperity. Many of the church begin to feel the importance 
 and duty of returning again to the Lord ; and we now have weekly meetings for conference 
 and prayer. Our object is, in the first place, to stir up each other ; and then to seek to purify 
 the church by rectifying, as far as is possible, all that is not according to godliness. One has 
 been added to the church, during the year, by profession. A larger number of children have 
 been presented in baptism, than for many years past." 
 
 Rev. Joshua S. Gay, Andover and vicinity, 14 weeks. 
 
 " Difficulties in the church have had a most unhappy influence ; yet we trust that progress 
 — real, healthy progress — has been made." 
 
 Rev. David Gerry, Brownfield, Hiram and Denmark, 18 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Gerry labors half of the time in Brownfield, and one fourth in each of the other 
 places. " One instance of hopeful conversion, others serious, and an increased attendance 
 upon the means of grace." 
 
 Mr. Lewis Goodrich, Dedham, 8 1-3 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Goodrich has been supplying in this place since last November. Under date of March 
 24th, he writes : — " The little church here is making great sacrifices to sustain the preaching 
 of the Gospel all the time. With help now, for a little while, they will be able to stand alone. 
 Everything appears prosperous ; and we have some indications that the Spirit of the Lord 
 is really with us." 
 
 Rev. Stephen Gould, Poland, 7 weeks. 
 
 " The average number in attendance on public worship is larger than it was a year ago ; 
 and there seems to be more harmony of feeling in the church. A Sabbath school has been 
 organized for the first time in many years." 
 
 Rev. Eusebius Hale, Piscataquis County, 26 weeks. 
 
 In January last, Mr. Hale speaks of several hopeful conversions — of two persons that had 
 united, and others expecting to unite to the church in Atkinson ; and of one propounded 
 for admission to the church in Sangerville. In a communication under date of the 15th 
 jnst., he says : — "I preached last Sabbath at the town of Shirley, near the foot of the lake, 
 and find that there have been some eight or ten cases af hopeful conversion, with very little 
 means. These cases are very decided and interesting — a very evident work of God." 
 
 Rev. Ansel D. Harris, Standish, 9 1-2 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Harris was ordained to the pastoral care of the church in Standish, on the 20th o f 
 October last. 
 
27 
 
 Rev. Stephen H. Hayes, Frankfort, 14 weeks. 
 
 " The exclusive use and control have been secured of a commodious house of worship. 
 Congregation increased, and external prospects more encouraging than at any former period. 
 Ten persons received into the church — five of them by profession. Two Sabbath school 
 teachers hopefully converted. We hope the day is not far distant, when we can exist without 
 aid from the Maine Missionary Society." 
 
 Rev. Israel Hills, Dixmont and Plymouth, 12 weeks. 
 
 Increased interest in Sabbath schools. 
 
 Rev. Morris Holman, 2d church in York, 12 weeks. 
 
 The parsonage is completed and paid for, and the minister is in possession of it. 
 
 Rev. William L. Hyde, Gardiner, 13 weeks. 
 
 This mission was given to Mr. Hyde while yet a licentiate. On the 13th of May, he wa« 
 ordained, with fair prospects of usefulness. The Society, however, will still need, though 
 not, it is hoped, much longer, missionary aid. Mr. H. reports four hopeful conversions. 
 
 Rev. Horatio Ilsley, Monson, 14 weeks. 
 
 " I have been greatly encouraged the past year, by the unanimity of feeling and effort in 
 the church, and the regular attendance upon the means of grace by the people. The weekly 
 meetings of the church were all sustained. No church in the county does so much for 
 benevolent objects, as the church in Monson." 
 
 Mr. Lewis Jessup, East Orrington, 4 weeks. 
 
 Until January last, this place was supplied one half the time by Rev. Thomas Smith. 
 Since then, his labors have been confined to the lower village in Brewer. Mr. Jessup " found 
 a flourishing Sabbath school, many warm-hearted Christians, and some sincere inquirers." 
 But "these good tendencies were counteracted by an unhallowed contention." On the 
 whole, however, he found " much to encourage." 
 
 Rev. Marcus R. Keep, Aroostook and Penobscot Counties, 26 weeks. 
 
 It was expected that Mr. Keep would spend the whole year as an itinerant missionary in 
 this region, making his head quarters at No. XI ; but in December he made an arrangement 
 to labor with the people at Burlington and Passadumkeag, alternately, for one year. " By 
 this arrangement I have accomplished one thing to my entire satisfaction, and that is, getting 
 a reasonable part of my support on the ground. I am confident that the evils of gratuitous 
 preaching sent by our Society, when the people are able and ought to pay for their own, are 
 not sufficiently known." 
 
 Rev. Reuben Kimball, Kittery Point, 14 weeks. 
 
 Amount contributed to objects of benevolence, during the year, $33 71, besides weekly 
 contributions in the Sabbath school to pay for the library. 
 
 Rev. Wales Lewis, Whitefield, 3 weeks. 
 
 " But little preaching in this town for some time past. There are many people who desire 
 a better state of things, and a considerable number who wish to have preachers of our 
 denomination." 
 
 Rev. Allen Lincoln, Gray, 21 1-2 weeks. 
 
 " This church has been always small and feeble, and still needs assistance. But they are 
 determined to make greater sacrifices in future, and if possible to get along with smaller 
 appropriations. A few hopeful conversions — and some ten or twelve now deeply interested. 
 The interest is evidently increasing, especially in the Sabbath school. A parsonage has been 
 provided, and $50 contributed to the Maine Missionary Society." 
 
 Mr. Eli P. Littlefield, Kirkland and Kilmarnock, 4 weeks. 
 
28 
 
 Rev. Amasa Lorikg, Shapleigh, 7 weeks — Lyman, 5 weeks. 
 Mr Loring left the people of Shapleigh the last winter, after continuing with them more 
 than seven years, with reluctance, but from a conviction of duty, and is now a stated supply 
 in Lyman ; where he reports " an improved state of religious feeling, the Sabbath school 
 commencing with favorable auspices, and more than 70 dollars expended upon the house of 
 worship." 
 
 Rev. H. S. Loring, Aurora and Amherst, 13 weeks. 
 
 Rev. Asa T. Loring, Skowliegan and South Solon, 6 weeks. 
 Mr. Loring commenced his labors in these two places the last February. He finds in 
 Skowhegan, " a large, enterprising, and rapidly growing community." The church is small, 
 but " united and devoted, willing to do everything they can for the cause of Christ. In a 
 district, where some of its members live, two miles from the village, there is, at present, 
 (May 11th) au interesting work in progress. We received two additions yesterday, by letter; 
 and expect, in a few days, to receive several more, both by letter and profession. The people 
 in South Solon are taking a deeper interest in the things of religion, and many of them are 
 considerably revived." 
 
 Rev. J. G. Merrill, Fort Fairfield and vicinity, 12 months. 
 
 In consequence of the situation of his family, Mr. Merrill has spent in his " Northeastern 
 field," during the year past, somewhat less than six months. "I have seen,"— he says, 
 — ''increasing evidence of the deplorable consequences resulting from an ignorant and 
 erroneous ministry ; and of the vast importance of evangelic instruction, faithfully and 
 perseveringly communicated. There is, in the Aroostook, a wide-spread tendency to 
 infidelity; traceable, in many instances, to the open apostasies of many who once made 
 high professions of devotion to the cause of Christ — of some who once professed to be his 
 ministers. On the other hand, there is an increased conviction on the minds of the more 
 sober part of the community, of the value of an intelligent, holy ministry ; and an increased 
 willingness, if circumstances would permit, to contribute to sustain it. Seversl cases of 
 hopeful conversion have occurred in this field within the last quarter. (March 27th.) One 
 .has been added to the church in Letter F, and several others are expected to offer themselves 
 to that and the other churches. The good cause requires, that two good men be on this wide 
 .field, to hold stated meetings on the Sabbath in important neighborhoods, as often as once in 
 three weeks the year through. Men with families would in part be sustained (by labor and 
 produce) by the people." 
 
 Rev. Enos Merrill, Mechanic Falls, 14 weeks. 
 
 " I have cherished the hope." writes Mr. Merrill, under date of the 11th inst, " that the 
 Holy Spirit has granted some precious influences to the church for several months past. 
 Recently, a few persons in the congregation have evinced an increasing degree of thoughtful- 
 ness and feeling in regard to their spiritual state. Three give considerable evidence that they 
 have become the subjects of a gracious change." 
 
 Rev. John H. Merrill, Sedgwick, 24 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Merrill was ordained in Sedgwick on the 16th ult. (May.) " There has been no special 
 religious interest in the Society, though some minds have been more tender than usual. The 
 general state of religion in the community is improved. 
 
 Rev. Stephen Merrill, Acton, 14 weeks. 
 
 Rev. Samuel H. Merrill, Old-Town, 6 months. 
 
 "Marked improvement" in the increased attendance on public worship, and on the 
 Sabbath school, and in the progress of temperance. " Prospect of building up a strong 
 society, able and willing to support the Gospel, never more encouraging than at present." 
 
 Rev. Alfred Morse, Cooper and Pembroke, 17 weeks. 
 
29 
 
 "In October last, the County Conference held its session in Cooper. The Spirit's power 
 was manifested. The church was revived, and sinners awakened. After the Conference, I 
 commenced a series of meetings, preaching every evening for some weeks. During the 
 Autumn a deep seriousness pervaded the public mind. There have been twelve hopeful 
 conversions. The last Sabbath, (June 7th,) six persons were added to the church, making 
 eight who have made public profession during the year. 
 
 There has been one hopeful conversion in Pembroke; and some, who had previously 
 indulged hope, have given, by repentance, better evidence of a change of heart." 
 
 Rev. Alpha Morton, Skowliegan and South Solon, 8 weeks — Temple, 
 5 weeks. 
 
 ■ A portion of the church revived, (in Temple,) and several persons anxious.'* 
 
 Rev. C. M. Nichols, Gardiner, 4 weeks. 
 
 This mission was given to Mr. N. soon after the relinquishment of his pastoral charge by 
 Rev. J. W. Peet. 
 
 Rev. Woostek Parker, Foxcroft, 14 weeks. 
 
 " The church have got along very harmoniously — the attendance upon public worship 
 better as to numbers and regularity than formerly, and the society is gaining in public 
 estimation. Three or four have been received to the church by letter, and two on profession." 
 
 Rev. R. Parkinson, Cape Elizabeth, 21 1-2 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Parkinson was ordained on the 18th of October last, with much fairer prospects than 
 have existed heretofore, of a growing and flourishing society. 
 
 Mr. John Parsons, Washington County, 26 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Parsons was commissioned to labor as an itinerant missionary in the eastern part 
 of the State, at the suggestion and under the direction of a committee of the Washington 
 Conferenee — in the expectation that the people would defray one half of the expense. His 
 labors have been very acceptable. Of late his ministrations have been divided between 
 Columbia and the new and thriving town of Millbridge. 
 
 Rev. John Perham, Madison and Anson, 14 weeks. 
 
 Two have been received in the church at Madison by profession. The cause of Temperance 
 here and in the county is advancing, through systematic exertions to prevent the sale of 
 intoxicating liquors. 
 
 " At the semi-annual meeting of the Somerset Conference, holden in Anson the first of 
 March last, a very interesting revival commenced in that place, which has resulted in the 
 hopeful conversion of several individuals. Including a few, who had before indulged some 
 hope, but had not been satisfied with their evidence of acceptance with God, it would be 
 safe, perhaps, to state that about twenty have become the hopeful subjects of renewing grace, 
 since the work commenced, nearly one half of whom are heads of families. Others are 
 apparently anxious for their souls ; the work has been characterized by great stillness, 
 pungent convictions, a remarkably clear evidence of conversion, and consequently great 
 peace in believing. On the last Sabbath, (June 10th,) five of these converts were received 
 into the Congregational church. Others, it is supposed, will be admitted in due time. The 
 Baptist church will also share in the fruits of this blessed work. We feel that the Lord has 
 done great things for us ; and it is meet that we should be glad in His name." 
 
 Rev. John A. Perry, Orono, 14 weeks. 
 
 In a communication, dated May 28th, Mr. Perry expresses the apprehension that in 
 consequence of "a division in the church, and much poverty," his connection with that 
 people will soon be dissolved. 
 
 Rev. William Pierce, Lyman, 3 weeks. 
 
30 
 
 Mr. Daniel F. Potter, Houlton, 3 months. 
 
 Mr. Potter's services at Houlton have given good satisfaction, and a strong desire has 
 been expressed for his continuance with them. By deaths and removals, and the general 
 stagnation of business, the pecuniary strength of the church and society has been materially 
 diminished, so that at present they can scarcely do anything more than furnish a missionary 
 with board. There are still, however, a precious few in Houlton, who love the ordinances of 
 the Gospel, and cannot bear to be deprived of them. In the Aroostook region, Houlton is 
 the center of influence ; and it seems highly important, that an enlightened and efficient 
 ministry should be sustained there. 
 
 Rev. Henry Richardson, Gilead, 7 weeks. 
 
 Mr. Richardson's connection with the church in Gilead has recently been dissolved. 
 Rev. John Sawyer, Penobscot County, 4 weeks. 
 
 This venerable servant of Christ, at the advanced age of 94, still loves to preach the 
 Gospel, and the people of God are edified by his ministrations. 
 
 Rev. Joxham Sevvall, Franklin County, 12 weeks. 
 
 Upon no one might the title of bishop of Maine have been conferred with more propriety, 
 on account of widely-extended visits and labors, than upon this revered and beloved man. 
 To but few ministers of Christ might a larger number of persons give the appellation in its 
 best sense, of their " father in God," than to him. Though he has entered upon the 90th 
 year of his life, yet his " natural force " has not been, until of late, very perceptibly abated. 
 In fulfilling his mission the last autumn, he travelled 372 miles, preached 80 times, made 150 
 family visits, attended 7 conference meetings, administered the Lord's supper three times, 
 baptized 1 adult and 2 children, visited a few Sabbath schools and other schools, attended 
 one association, and assisted in ordaining Mr. Clark in Phillips. 
 
 Rev. William S. Sewall, Brownville, 14 weeks 
 
 " Some advance during the year. A portion of the church revived. Two or three hopeful 
 conversions. Congregation rather on the increase, and a deep solemnity at times pervading 
 it Ninety dollars contributed to benevolent objects." 
 
 Rev. N. W. Sheldon, Vassalboro, Sidney and Fairfield, 10 2-3 weeks. 
 
 Rev. Thomas Smith, Orrington, 5 1-3 weeks. 
 
 Rev. Joseph Smith, Wilton and vicinity, 10 2-3 weeks. 
 " There has been, during the winter and spring, considerable religious interest. In the 
 larger villages, several are now indulging hopes ; most of them are members of our society." 
 
 Mr. Charles B. Smith, Weld, 2 weeks — Levant, 15 weeks. 
 
 At Levant Mr. Smith preaches upon the Sabbath, one half of the time at the village, the 
 other half in the south part of the town, and lectures in six or eight neighborhoods besides. 
 " One individual stands propounded for admission to the church, and several others are 
 expected to unite with us soon." 
 
 Mr. Benjamin G. Snow, Carmel and Hermon, 4 weeks. 
 
 Rev. Samuel Souther, North Belfast, 6 months. 
 
 " Since my first Sabbath with this people, in December, 1846," writes Mr. Souther, under 
 date of the 7th inst., " but one meeting opposed in its interests to our own, has been held — 
 and that during the first month of my labors. Since that time, the first symptoms of divided 
 interests have not appeared among us. This results, in a great measure, from the wisdom of 
 the society in aiding to sustain preaching without intermission. The doors of our sanctuary 
 open every Sabbath day to receive all of our community who choose to enter ; and in our 
 congregation, and among those contributing to our support, are found those who hold quite 
 a diversity of religious tenets." 
 
31 
 
 Rev. Samuel F. Talbot, Alna, 7 weeks. 
 Rev. G. F. Tewksbury, Albany, 14 weeks. 
 
 « Congregation larger than in any former season. Nothing being done by any other 
 denomination." 
 
 Rev. P. B. Thayer, Garland and St. Albans, 18 weeks. 
 During the year, Mr. Thayer has been ordained pastor of the church in Garland. Under 
 date of the 18th inst., Mr. Thayer writes as follows : - " God, in great mercy, has granted us 
 a little reviving. The work has been gradual and silent. God's people have been drawn 
 nearer to God, and to each other. Sinners have been arrested, and a few, as we trust, 
 have turned to the Lord. Some ten or eleven are indulging hope." Several have been 
 added to the church in Garland, and more are expected. 
 Rev. R. B. Thurston, Waterville, 6 months. 
 
 Debt paid, and a new and convenient vestry finished. Some members of the church 
 revived, and two individuals who attend our meetings give evidence of conversion." 
 Rev. Philip Titcomb, Cherryfield, 21 1-2 weeks. 
 
 The place of worship has been destroyed by fire. Five have been added to the church by 
 letter ; $27 77 contributed to foreign and domestic missions. 
 
 Rev Josiah Tucker, Industry and Mercer, 14 weeks. 
 During the last winter, a union protracted meeting in the town of Industry was much 
 blessed. Not far from thirty, it is thought, have obtained hope in Christ ; several of whom 
 are expected to unite with the Congregational church. 
 
 Rev David Turner, New Vineyard and Kingfield, 8 weeks. 
 "During the past winter the Lord has greatly revived us. Fourteen have been added to 
 the church ; and the congregation that attend public worship have been greatly increased.' 
 Rev. Sydney Turner, Bingham, Solon Village and vicinity, 18 weeks. 
 During the year, Mr. Turner has spent 4 weeks at the Forks of the Kennebec ; and has 
 visited and attended funerals, and circulated Bibles and Tracts at Moose River Settlement, 
 and as far as the Canada line. At Bingham there have been » a few conversions, and several 
 are expected to unite with the church." In Solon the prospects are rather bnghtemng. 
 Rev. Selden Wentworth, Lovell, 7 weeks. 
 
 Rev Isaac Weston, Aroostook County, 3 months - Patten, 6 months. 
 « In Patten, in January, I admitted three by profession. The church in this place now 
 presents rather an encouraging aspect; and, as one of its prominent members remarked to 
 me the congregational interest in this place has never been so hopeful as at present. Several 
 young men have been admitted to the churches. The infant churches planted in this region, 
 will need the continued aid of the Maine Missionary Society. Should it be withheld, the 
 Congregational interest and influence must inevitably diminish year by year, until their now 
 brightening prospects will be exchanged for the shadow of death." 
 
 Rev J B Wheelwright, Northfield and vicinity, 21 1-2 weeks. 
 Mr Wheelwright has supplied the people at Whitneyville about half the time, and the 
 other half has « performed missionary labors " at Northfield, Jonesborough and Whiting. 
 Rev. Calvin White, Albion and Sebasticook, 8 weeks. 
 Rev. Henry White, Bradford and vicinity 14 weeks. 
 Four persons have been admitted into the church during the year, of whom three were 
 from a Free Will Baptist church, which has become extinct, making the whole number, 
 twenty-four. 
 
32 
 
 Rev. Luther Wiswall, Jackson and Brooks, 7 weeks. 
 
 " Prospects rather discouraging. A very large proportion of our most active members 
 have died, or removed, within two or three years ; and the current still sets in the same 
 direction." Thus wrote Mr. Wiswall in January. Under date of the 20th inst., he speaks of 
 an " increase of general interest on the subject of religion," particularly among the young. 
 " Some three or four of our youth give evidence of having passed from death unto life." 
 
 The whole number of missionaries employed by the Society, during the 
 past year, has been 92. Sixty-three of these have been aided, as pastors 
 and stated supplies, in preaching, (most of them to one people, some of 
 them to two or three congregations alternately) the Gospel of Christ. 
 Eight have traversed a still wider field (during the whole of the year or a 
 portion of it) in the Aroostook, Penobscot, Franklin and Washington 
 Counties; the other twenty-one have performed short missions in particular 
 places. The whole amount of service, which the Society has either 
 furnished entirely, or aided in furnishing, by supporting in part the pastors 
 of feeble churches, has amounted to more than 70 years. Amidst many- 
 discouragements the laborers have been sowing their seed, with a larger 
 measure of success, on the whole, than for several years past. In general, 
 the churches have been at peace among themselves; several of them have 
 been revived, and have come up with increased readiness and zeal to the 
 performance of duty. The number of attendants on public worship, is 
 reported, by several of our missionaries, as having been increased during 
 the past year. Many of them speak of Sabbath schools as in a flourishing 
 state; and in them has occurred a very large proportion of those instances, 
 which the year has witnessed, of spiritual renewal and of an awakened 
 interest in the great salvation. In looking over reports of missionaries, it 
 has been animating to find one speaking of a single case of " hopeful 
 conversion" — another, of two or three cases — and another, of " a few," 
 or of " several " — and another, of fifteen or twenty. The whole number 
 of such cases reported by our missionaries, as having occurred in the 
 societies to which they have ministered, amounts to about 150. Each of 
 these, so far as "hopeful conversions" were real, occasioned joy in 
 presence of the angels of God. The value of a single soul, redeemed from 
 sin, united to the kingdom of Christ, destined to an endless progression in 
 glory and virtue, who can compute? In addition to this great achievement 
 of turning the sinner from the error of his way, is that of training him, 
 when converted, for usefulness and heaven. To feed the Lord's flock, 
 which He hath purchased with his own blood, is not accounted a small 
 matter by those, who come down from heaven " to minister to them who 
 shall be heirs of salvation ; " nor by Him — their Lord and ours — who 
 hath given " pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints, for the 
 edifying of the body of Christ." 
 
33 
 
 When souls are not converted and sanctified by the preaching of the 
 Gospel, its influence is eminently conducive to domestic happiness, to 
 social order and peace. Education, temperance, good morals, and a due 
 observance of the Sabbath, are effectively promoted by an enlightened 
 Christian ministry. Where this is wanting, ignorance, barbarism, vice 
 and impiety abound. In a new town, recently visited by one of our 
 missionaries, they had had, occasionally, what "they called preaching;" 
 but not being such as to inspire respect and confidence, the people were 
 not accustomed to attend upon it. "Some would be hunting, some fishing, 
 some working. Where 150 or 200 might have attended, there were seldom 
 more than 30, and oftener but half that number. The mass of the people 
 are very ignorant, and horribly profane. With but very few exceptions, 
 the Sabbath is disregarded, and the youth are growing up under the 
 withering influence of the most shocking profanity and infidelity." Does 
 any philanthropist or patriot wish, that this rising State may be filled with 
 ■ uch a population? In large portions of it such a population may be 
 expected, if not soon supplied with an intelligent, faithful ministry. — 
 Upon preaching, worthy of the name, the people in our new settlements 
 will attend, and good books they will gladly receive. "1 travelled on 
 foot, says our missionary, "-through that whole region — in all about 200 
 miles — and sold books of the American Tract Society's publications, to 
 the amount of $50, besides Bibles and testaments. The people, with few 
 exceptions, are very poor; but they were ready to spend the last cent for a 
 good book. Though many cannot read, yet there is one in almost every 
 family who can. They need instruction. They need a warm-hearted, 
 common-sense, judicious man, to go and preach the doctrines of the Bible. 
 Shall they not have one? I wish I could present a plea to your Society, 
 that would move them to act in behalf of that place at once, and send 
 them a man to break to them the bread of life. But j will not attempt it. 
 Let facts speak for themselves." There are many such places in this 
 "great East;" and "the aggressive movement" spoken of in the last 
 Report, as having been " made within a few years past upon the northern 
 section of our State," is but the beginning of a work, which it is given 
 this Society to do. Many aggressive movements are called for, not only 
 in the northern section of the State, but in several other portions of it. 
 Most of our labor and expense are bestowed upon those feeble churches 
 that desire our assistance. It were hard to deny them, especially those 
 who are doing all they can for the supply of their own spiritual necessities. 
 But we ought to be exploring, and as far as possible supplying, new fields. 
 We ought, in imitation of the Great Author of Christian Missions, to be 
 found of those who seek us not. Let the demand for missionary aid be 
 estimated, not simply by the petitions of those who know their wants and 
 ask for assistance, but by the ignorance, the sin, the impending ruin of 
 
 E 
 
34 
 
 such as utter not the imploring cry, hecause they know not the value of 
 the glorious gospel, nor the evils they are now suffering, and will eternally 
 suffer, for the want of it; how far short of the demand shall we find the 
 actual supply ! 
 
 Let us be thankful for what we have done ; and let us rejoice in all the 
 service performed, and good achieved, by that noble institution, t>f which 
 this is a branch ; which, during the past year, with an income of $150,000, 
 has employed its 1019 heralds of salvation in twenty-six different States 
 and Territories — including Texas, Oregon and California. Wisdom is 
 better than gold; and while thousands, and tens of thousands, are 
 seeking in the far West, with such intense avidity, the inferior article, 
 the American Home Missionary Society is sending across the Isthmus 
 and around Cape Horn, those messengers of mercy, whom God, we 
 trust, will honor, in bestowing upon their fellow men, durable riches and 
 righteousness, and in laying the foundation, upon the shores of the Pacific, 
 of another New England. 
 
 The amount of income received by this Society, duiing the past year, 
 ending on the 25th inst. — including a balance in the Treasurer's hands at 
 the commencement of the year, of $477 63 — was $10,837 36 1-2. This 
 includes the monevs paid in at the last annual meeting, of $4,750 68, by 
 which the claims of the year preceding were very nearly liquidated, i — 
 Since that meeting, the Treasurer has been able to pay, with the help of 
 loans amounting to $990, $5,048 48; and reports a balance in his hands, 
 of $32 20, and a debt of borrowed money, of $516. Claims will now be 
 presented, amounting to more than $4,500; and we are not without the 
 apprehension that our treasury will be exhausted, before the wages so well 
 earned by the 70 missionaries, who are now expecting their yearly or half 
 yearly compensation from this Society will be paid. The time, anticipated 
 in the last Report, when the people will bring in much more than enough, 
 so that there will be need of restraining them from bringing, has not yet 
 arrived. 
 
 IF those who " have freely received," should "freely give," where can 
 a people be found, upon whom the claims to a cheerful and liberal giving 
 are so urgent, as upon the people of these United States ? While in other 
 lands there is " distress of nations and perplexity," by reason of famine, 
 oppression and war — "men's hearts failing them for fear, in looking upon 
 those things which are coming upon the earth" — we are blessed with 
 peace, plenty, security, freedom. " He hath not dealt so with any other 
 nation ; " and we are not to suppose, that God is pouring out upon us the 
 abundance of his blessings, merely that we ourselves may enjoy them — 
 but that we may be "rich in good works, willing to distribute, ready to 
 communicate." There is no lack of opportunity. "The field is the 
 world ; " it is an open field, and very many portions of it are whitening to 
 
35 
 
 the harvest. What an immense work must be done upon our own soil — 
 in furnishing our own people, in all their dispersions within our own 
 territory, with those institutions upon which, under God, our prosperity, 
 our continued national existence, depends. And the ceaseless flood of 
 immigration pouring in upon us from the old world, at the rate of one 
 thousand a day — how are these men, out of every nation under heaven, 
 to be made good American citizens — intelligent, virtuous, useful members 
 of a free, Christian community? The influence, which we must of 
 necessity exert upon the inhabitants of other lands — how shall it be made 
 an influence for God and his truth — for Christ and the best interests of 
 mankind? The Anglo Saxon race is eminently a locomotive race. "A 
 Yankee saw-mill performs its office 1500 miles from the mouth of the 
 Amazon ; and a down-easter, who once wielded his axe on the banks of 
 the Kennebec, fulfils the same mission on the banks of the Rio Negro. 
 The ascendency of the vigorous over the feeble nations is not necessarily 
 wrong; it is the natural superiority and irresistible progress of freedom, 
 knowledge and enterprise, when brought in contact with ignorance and 
 inactivity. What an argument is this, that our home population — which 
 cannot be kept at home — should be of such a kind, that with themselves 
 they shall transfer the elements of regeneration to the countries which 
 they enter by their traffic, and contiol by their influence." 
 
 The destiny of this American people, as we seem to catch a glimpse of 
 it in the developments of Providence, overwhelms us by its magnificence 
 
 — its destiny, if we do but fulfil, with any good measure of fidelity, the 
 work for Him, for ourselves, for mankind, which God has given us to do. 
 Of that work, no small part comes under the name of Home Missions. 
 What a large and blessed Home is this country of ours; and how deep the 
 interest that we should take in all that may be conducive to its welfare. 
 What so conducive, as that it be pervaded by the light and the love 
 which beam from the cross of Christ; and that being thus pervaded, it 
 may send forth light and love to bless the men of other nations — of other 
 continents. Something towards the full evangelization of our own country 
 
 — something towards the conversion of the world — we can do bv our 
 united, continued efforts in this Maine Missionary Society. In love to 
 Christ and his church, to our country and our race, let us do what we can ; 
 and when the announcement shall be made, "the kingdoms of this world 
 are become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ," we shall rejoice in 
 the thought— whatever region in our Father's universe we shall then 
 occupy — that we were permitted and disposed, during our season of labor 
 and trial on earth, to help forward an enterprise, which will then have 
 reached so glorious a consummation.

 N. B. As, in all our parishes, persons not belonging to the church contribute to this and 
 other benevolent societies, equally with those in the church, the word County, would be em- 
 ployed irfstead of ' District Conference,' were it not for the fact, that the Union Conference 
 is made up of churches in contiguous towns of Oxford, Cumberland and York Counties ; and 
 Aroostook Conference embraces some churches iu the northern part of Penobscot County.
