amount which should be expended in the South, and a much larger
amount could be wisely used. The mountain work among the poor whites
is full of promise, and calls loudly for our aid, and the Association
only waits for the necessary funds to greatly enlarge its efforts in
this field. In addition to the Southern field, the Indian work
requires at least $60,000, and the Chinese work $15,000. This makes
the total amount needed by the Association next year $375,000. This
we believe to be a moderate and conservative estimate.

This great work for the Negro, the Indian and the Chinese has been
laid upon the American Missionary Association, and upon our
denomination, as it has not been laid upon any other society or
denomination in this country. It is our duty, yea, rather, our great
opportunity. Shall we not then meet it as the stewards of God, whose
servants and disciples we are?
