rotro-pect the past and tala' in view what
has been aecmipli-hed in North Aikan-a-

my heart swells with gratitude to God
When 1 came In re eight ycius ago, there
were Imt few iiiinislus and a lew scattered
churches, vvhi.-h were imildo to Mi-tain tluir
ministers. Vnur Hoard has continued to
aid this deatituto Held, and wo tiro now of
the opinion that neatly all of our Churches
■ire aide lo sustain their mini-try. My oh-
j.'Ct Ins not been so much to ililarge our
I'nd 1 as to make our churches self su-lnining.

the l,.ird Ilf the harvest would sent us more
I iborers, wo now number five more than we
did la«t year. 1 have given up those .-elf

Mr. Garrett, O/'/oril, Ala. : "Tlio sin

tent iu my field. I expect to commence
preaching, exhorting, and making addresses
on that subject soon, believing that is t m
most profitable mode of labor at present. —
The copper mines have drawn in tli.it quir-

At my in-tuncc, four Churches, through
their Beacons, Ac., met at Union Church

Our Brother OAimirrr has a hard field

twice each K.ibb itli. He is engaged much
of his lime during the week in vi-iling ami
distributing religious (rads and books.—
He complains of the fluctuating charadci
of the congregation, as emigration is con
stantly going on. It would tako time In
make an impression upon the German mind,
