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 tally 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 missions. 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 diminish-ing their ordinary subscriptions. They will see, too, the great importance of its being once removed. 3 hie pre 39 file - Boston, Ms., A friend, P THE receipts of each period of four years are given; the increase in those periods respectively; the average annual receipts for each of the periods; and the increase (decrease in one instance) in the average annual receipts of each period. Missionary Physicians are needed at Gawar, among the Mountain Nestorians; in the central parts of the Armenian field; in the Madura mission of Southern India; in the Zulu mission of Southern Africa; in the Fuh-chau mission in China; and in the Micronesia mission. Physicians of unquestioned piety, sound health, a love for their profession, and a love for souls, are greatly needed in the abovenamed missions under the care of the American Board. Cannot the over-crowded profession furnish the men ? ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE BOARD.
