NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND.

I recently spoke in a manufacturing town in New England. In the forenoon
service, a man, evidently an operative in one of the mills, sat in a
front pew with a whole row of little children beside him, his wife at
the end of the line with a baby in her lap. In the evening, the same man
and family, minus the mother and baby, occupied the same pew. After the
service, this man came to me, and with deep emotion said: "I am only a
working man; you saw my large family of little children; every penny I
can earn counts, but I feel that I must divide the living of my children
with these poor people you have told us of to-day. We can get on with
poorer food to give them the gospel."

This was said in the accent that told that this Christian nobleman came
from old covenant-making and covenant-keeping Scotland! Not a very
"dangerous foreigner!" Money given from such extreme sacrifice is
sacred. Would this spirit were universal!

The close relation existing between the work of the American Missionary
Association for the colored people in America, and that of the American
Board for the colored people in Africa, is most interestingly
