Ellen Amount received in January, Total, 1,802 69 24,778 48 $ 26,581 1 Excess of Expenditure, $ 36,189 70 The receipts, in each of the last three years, were less than in the year 1853; and less, on the whole, by some twenty thousand dollars, than if there had been no falling off. With no increase in the expenditure of the past three years, there would still have been a debt of $8,000; and $28,000 of the debt results from there having been a growth in the missions, but none in the receipts. In so vast a system of missions, should there not be a yearly growth of nine thousand dollars? Had the Spirit been poured out in Syria, India, China, as once at the Sandwich Islands, the growth and the consequent expense would have been far greater. We must pray less, or give more. The Prudential Committee could not have made the expenditures of the missions ally with the amount of contributions, except by a process similar to that which parents would find it necessary to employ to prevent the growth of their children. An annual increase of $9,000 in the receipts of the Board, would defray the cost of the nissions. Such a scope for development is essential to spiritual health. The appropriation of $350,000 for the year 1857, involved no sudden and great expansion. Many give for current expenses more cheerfully, than for arrearages. But there are also large-hearted friends, who will gladly aid in removing the debt, without diminishng their ordinary subscriptions. They will see, too, the great importance of its being at once removed. A separate account is opened on the cover of the Herald for the liquidation of the lebt ; so that all who desire to assist in its removal can do so; while those who prefer o contribute only towards the current expenses, will have no apprehension that their lonations will be applied to the debt. The following note has been received, and the money paid :-“A gentleman of Boston will give $5,000 to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Misions towards liquidating the debt of the Board, hoping that others may make up the ull amount ; this to be given without any diminution of the annual subscription.” Missionary House, March, 1857.
