One of the best administered of the large English Missionary Societies owed £6,500 t the close of its last year, the excess of unavoidable expenditures in the previous two ears. It opened a special fund, and in some six or seven months the debt was paid. The effort began (as did that of the Board) with an offer of £1,000, (which was from a lergyman,) as an extra donation. There were 57 donations of £10; 4 of £15; 20 of 20: 9 of £25; 3 of £30; 24 of £50; 8 of £100; 1 of £180; 1 of £200; 3 of £300; of £500; and 1 of £1,000; - making £6,125; and £375 were in sums less than ten ounds. The pound is but little short of five dollars. "A gentleman of Boston will give $5,000 to the American Board of Commissioners or Foreign Missions towards liquidating the debt of the Board, hoping that others may make up the full amount; this to be given without any diminution of the annual subcription." This announcement led to the opening of the Deficiency Fund for $36,189 70, The excess in the Board's expenditure over its income in the last three years. Nearly alf the sum has been contributed; and it is earnestly hoped that the residue will come before the 31st of July, which is the close of the present financial year. The appeal to Christians of broad views and large hearts. The tables of receipts of the Board from the beginning, found on the covers of the ast two numbers of the Missionary Herald, show that, on the whole, in periods of four ears, there has been a regular increase during forty-five years, with but a single excepion. There was an increase in the last of these periods, greater than since the year 839. In the past three years, however, there was a falling off, as compared with 1853, of $21,000 on the whole. The receipt of five thousand dollars in each of these three wears, more than was contributed in the year 1853, (which is less than two per cent, pon the receipts as they were four years ago,) would have prevented all indebtedness. Such, and only so much was the actual advance made in the expenditure. And even hat small advance brought a debt; to have kept out of which the Board must have etrenched-must have gone backward, instead of forward! The appropriations for the current financial year are at the rate of $342,000. The ctual expenditure of the last financial year, exceeded $330,000. The advance, thereFore, is less than four per cent! When we pray, 'Thy kingdom come,' do we ask for no more? Should we not pray for less, or be prepared to do more? - These few remarks are for such, as suppose the Board is going rashly forward, whenever it chances to be in lebt. The subject admits of ample illustration, but would require more room than the Herald cover alfords. It is time the principles which must needs govern missionary Expenditure, were more clearly and generally understood in the Christian community. Missionary House, April, 1857. Monson, Ms., D. N.
