SERMON. 
 
 WE THEREFORE OUGHT TO RECEIVE SUCH, THAT WE MIGHT 
 BE FELLOW-HELPERS TO THE TRUTH. III JOHN, 8. 
 
 The Christian Church was early distinguished for the 
 devotion of her members to die propagation of the Gospel. 
 Many were scattered abroad, in consequence of persecu- 
 tion, who went everywhere preaching the word. Others 
 were set apart to the work of evangelists, who went forth 
 to make known the truth to those who had not received it. 
 To such evangelists or missionaries, John alludes in this 
 brief epistle. It is addressed by the Apostle, to his friend 
 Gaius, who, from the character here given him, we are in- 
 clined to believe, was the person at whose house Paul abode 
 in Corinth, whom he calls not only his host, but the host of 
 the whole church. John commends the Christian hospi- 
 tality which his friend had shown to the brethren, and to 
 strangers, who, for the sake of the name of Christ, had 
 gone forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles, and who had 
 borne witness of his charity, before the church. Such be- 
 ing the devotion and sacrifice of these men in the work of 
 publishing the Gospel, we, says the Apostle, ought to receive 
 them, to render them sympathy and aid, not merely for 
 their own advantage and comfort, but that we may be fel- 
 low-helpers to the truth. 
 
 By “ the truth,” in the text, we are to understand simply 
 the revelation which God has given ; communicated at sue-

 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS. 
 
 cessive periods, by different men, of whom John was the 
 last; deposited with the Church, and preserved in its integ- 
 rity to the present moment, the guide for human faith and 
 practice. One of the strongest evidences that this is the 
 truth, is found in the wide and rapid triumph of its princi- 
 ples, after the ascension of Christ, through the labors of the 
 Apostles and their associates. Christianity had few and 
 feeble friends ; it had not the patronage of civil authority; 
 malice assailed it ; philosophy reasoned against it, and cor- 
 rupt systems off idolatry stood in its way. But despite of 
 all these difficulties, its career was triumphant, like the 
 sun, when he goeth forth in his might. Preserved as it 
 has been, when men have joined hand in hand against it; 
 living on, undestroyed and uncorrupted, amid fiery perse- 
 cutions and the assaults of learned infidelity; through cen- 
 turies of the deep darkness and corruption of the human 
 mind; efficacious in every age, to convert and sanctify the 
 soul, to cheer the afflicted, and to support the dying believ- 
 er; it now stands forth emphatically declared to be the 
 truth — the truth from heaven — the truth that points out 
 the only way to heaven. 
 
 The arrangement for the spread of the truth, has not 
 essentially changed, since its divine Author committed it to 
 the Church. The truth has lost none of its value, as a light 
 to them that sit in darkness; but it cannot go to such with- 
 out help. God could sound it abroad, with infinite ease; 
 but under the present economy, the truth can never speak 
 to those who have not heard its voice, without the direct 
 and combined aid of good men. And this leads me at once 
 to the subject of discourse on the present occasion — the 
 duly of Christians , in the propagation of the truth. 
 
 1. 1 would allude to the nature and grounds of the obli- 
 gation resting on Christians, to aid in the propagation of 
 the truth. And this is needful, though no man is prepared 
 to deny the existence of such an obligation. If there is not 
 unbelief, there is deep insensibility in regard to it. And it

 may be, that the sentiment exists to some extent, that the 
 lapse of eighteen hundred years, has released us from all 
 responsibility in aiding the truth. 
 
 The will of Christ is plain. The truth was given in 
 view of the condition of man, who had cast off the knowl- 
 edge of God, and fallen into gross delusion. It was given 
 to make known the character and will of Jehovah, and to 
 restore a lost world to obedience and happiness. Hut it 
 was not given as is the light of the sun, directly to all. It 
 was communicated at successive times, to individuals, to 
 be by them deposited with the Church. The Church was 
 then constituted by her Head, the dispenser of this blessing 
 to the world, lienee, believers are said to be the light of 
 the world. Hence, the injunction of our Lord, to go and 
 teach all nations. Paul addressed Philippian Christians, as 
 those who shone as lights in the world, holding forth the 
 word of life, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. 
 As soon deny the ordination of Providence, in the sun to 
 give light to the world, as deny the purpose of Christ, that 
 his followers should be the instruments of extending his 
 truth. 
 
 This duty grows out of the very spirit of Christianity. 
 The love of the truth, is identified with the spirit of propa- 
 gation. The belief of the truth, impels to a mission in its 
 behalf. We believe, and therefore speak. When a man 
 heartily receives the truth, he must resist one of the first 
 laws of its action, if he hides the light under a bushel. 
 Now he knows what moral darkness is, and what is the 
 joy of passing from this darkness into light. He feels in 
 himself, the wonderful power of truth, the entrance of 
 which into the soul, gives light, and re-instates it in purity 
 and freedom. This very consciousness of its power, in the 
 effect it has wrought in his own spirit, shadows forth to 
 him the beauty and the glory of the work it will achieve 
 for others; and bids him array himself in its armor of light 
 and love, and try its power. Hence it is. that this is a duty 
 
6 
 
 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS, 
 
 which has been generally acknowledged. It was one of 
 the first developments of piety, after the descent of the 
 Spirit, on the day of Pentecost. It is abundantly rec- 
 ognized by the Apostles, in their letters to the churches. 
 When a portion of the church emerged from error and 
 corruption, at the era of the reformation, the movement 
 began as the effect of the truth on an individual mind. As 
 the movement spread, calling out the noblest intellect and. 
 zeal, it illustrated at every step, the grand principle, that 
 when truth has acted on one mind, it has secured a channel 
 for acting on other minds. As it gradually shone upon 
 the mind of Luther, he came under the power of a strong 
 conviction that he had a work to do, in giving its light to 
 the nation. By its very action on his heart, his sympathies 
 and energies were stirred within him, to extend without 
 himself, the knowledge to which he had found access. The 
 church, therefore, is not only the commissioned agent for 
 spreading the truth, by the authority of her King, but the 
 very spirit of it which dwells in her bosom, forbids her to 
 omit it. Her own faith and love, prompt her to accept the 
 commission, and to go forth in the fulfilment of her high 
 trust. 
 
 There is no ground on which we can claim the right to 
 keep the truth to ourselves. We cannot, in view of its na- 
 ture and design. It is glad tidings of great joy, which 
 shall be to all people. It is adapted'to meet the necessities 
 of man, in all conditions of his being. In its lessons of 
 obedience, especially in its doctrine of forgiveness of sin 
 by grace alone, it is all in all for man ; for the child, for the 
 man of grey hairs, for the sons of sorrow, of bondage and 
 ignorance ; fully answering the earnest voice in which they 
 ask the way to the land of peace. The nature of the gift, 
 indicates the will of the Giver, in its universal distribution. 
 Truth is the pearl of great price. It was the care and cost 
 of a mission from the skies, to bring it within our reach. 
 Buy the truth, at the cost of any earthly sacrifice, and sell 
 
IN THE PROPAGATION OF THE TRUTH.

 it not. Rut let us give others an opportunity to buy also. 
 Let us give them the privilege of the same heavenly mer- 
 chandize. Truth is the fountain of life. Let us not fence 
 it round, so as to prevent the access of thirsting millions. 
 The Spirit of truth and grace descends from heaven, to 
 point the wanderers of earth to this fountain, and cries 
 with an earnest voice, “Come.” Let the bride also say, 
 come; and let him that heareth, say, come, to all the dwel- 
 lers on the earth. 
 
 We cannot claim exemption from this duty, on the ground 
 of our individuality. We are individuals, but we are 
 brethren. Man everywhere sees and hears, tastes and 
 feels as you do. The voice of his spirit answers to your 
 voice. With like sensibilities and fears; with a nature in 
 ruins like your own, yet asserting in its lost estate, its im- 
 mortality, and struggling to catch some light that shall 
 satisfy its anxious wishes. Man is everywhere your broth- 
 er; fallen to the same level, capable of reaching the same 
 height of honor and happiness. Who will claim the right, 
 as he catches the voice of truth, to arrest it, and not com- 
 municate the sound to a brother’s ear? As truth has start- 
 ed on her benevolent mission, stooping down to whisper 
 pardon to the guilty, and peace to the suffering, and to bid 
 the dead arise from their sepulchres, who does not joyfully 
 recognize the obligation to be a fellow-helper to the truth? 
 
 II. I notice some of the methods in which Christians 
 may aid in the propagation of the truth. 
 
 It is proper to remark, that the friends of truth are not 
 called to promote it by secular and physical force. Christ, 
 in establishing the truth, adhered most strictly to the doc- 
 trine that his kingdom is not of this world. Neither did 
 he give permission to his followers, to take carnal weapons. 
 If my kingdom were of this world, said he to Pilate, then 
 would my servants fight. When the enemies of truth have 
 sought to exterminate it with the scimetar or the gibbet, 
 they have utterly failed. As certainly would its friends 
 
8 
 
 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS, 
 
 have failed to secure its triumphs, if they had relied on 
 such weapons. If the divinity of truth is impressively 
 manifested when it passes unhurt before the secular forces 
 and malicious attacks of a Diocletian and a Galerius; not 
 less apparent is its divinity, when it advances in triumph 
 under a Luther and a Knox, trusting only in the arm of 
 the God of truth. How dark is the picture which is pre- 
 sented, from the moment that Christian truth was made to 
 succumb to the earthly arm, to ask favor of the ambitious 
 monarch, and to call him the head of the Church, and the 
 abettor of her interests, in the pursuit of his worldly poli- 
 cy ! But truth, for a long time crippled and corrupted, at 
 length escaped to assert her power and her rights. She has 
 now before her, as one of her mightiest tasks, the work of 
 overthrowing that very system of corruption, which was 
 built up by a secular policy, in her own name. She is now 
 going forth to break down, with her spiritual arm, that 
 massive, but guilded frame-work, that was erected for her 
 protection, but within which she was bound, mangled and 
 disrobed of her beauty. 
 
 In aiding the progress of truth, it will be all in vain 
 to garnish and set it forth with earthly attractions. Any 
 thing that impairs its spirituality, will only retard it. It 
 will be all in vain to erect sanctuaries for its retreat, if they 
 are only splendid cathedrals, with altars overlaid with gold, 
 and their walls adorned with pictures to the honor of saints 
 and martyrs. All in vain, the gorgeous ceremony and the 
 solemn chant, taking the place of the faithful utterance of 
 the doctrines of the Gospel. All in vain, to increase by 
 thousands in a year, the catalogue of the protectors of the 
 faith, in those departed saints who receive the apotheosis 
 of the Church, to win the confidence and devotion of the 
 people. All such means will only tend to corrupt the sim- 
 plicity that is in Christ. Let the friends of truth awake 
 to the fact, that in its nature and spirit, it rejects worldly 
 policy as a means of its propagation, with all those impo-

 sing forms which arc ihc result of human device, to address 
 the senses, and not the intellect and the heart. It asks that 
 it may be set forth in its own pure dress, may speak in its 
 own simple dialect, and may wield the weapons, and those 
 only which its Author has given it. 
 
 In the first place, I remark, that Christians may be fel- 
 low-helpers to the truth, as its living witnesses. It has a 
 monument and a powerful testimony in the very existence 
 and preservation of the church, which has passed through 
 so many fiery trials. From the burning bush, we hear the 
 voice of God proclaiming it. But the testimony of the 
 Church is given as her members exhibit a transcript of the 
 truth in visible characters, by illustrating its principles in 
 their lives. It is the embodiment of religious truth in liv- 
 ing character, so that it shall act on the human mind. 
 “It is not the argumentative or documentary proof which 
 reposes on the shelves of our libraries, (how good soever 
 it may be.) that will effectually maintain the ground of 
 religion against its adversaries. The Author of Christiani- 
 ty, has indeed consigned his doctrine to paper; but the de- 
 fence and propagation of it, is committed, age after age, to 
 living depositaries. Celestial truth is a jewel in a pix; but 
 which, unless it be worn by its possessor, might as well 
 have rested in its quarry.” 
 
 A glance at the early period of Christianity, reveals the 
 value of that earnest testimony, which was then furnished 
 in the character of its friends. Committing themselves to 
 the cause of truth with an absorbing devotion, they emi- 
 nently illustrated its power by the labor and sacrifice which 
 they endured to promote it. For the truth’s sake, they 
 took joyfully the spoiling of their goods, meekly bowed to 
 suffering, and welcomed death. Through them, as they 
 loved and prayed, suffered and died, the voice of truth was 
 uttered aloud, and its influence widely extended. Christian 
 character is still the same important instrument for the 
 illustration of the truth. There, its doctrines, which men 
 2 
 
10 
 
 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS, 
 
 are apt to regard as abstractions or mysteries, are changed 
 into a living, speaking form. The Christian virtues are 
 the relief-drawings on the canvass, visible and striking per- 
 sonifications of truth. Then it is interpreted in speech 
 which all can understand. Nor is it any longer mere 
 words, but appears in “intelligible forms,” walking before 
 the eye of the world, in attractive mien, and speaking to 
 the soul with a human voice. Nothing can take the place 
 of this testimony of the Church, to the power of truth, in 
 the character of her members. She may deck herself in 
 costly raiments, to attract the worldly eye, but unless she 
 is arrayed in the graces of Christianity, as her brightest 
 ornaments, she will do little to aid its progress. She may 
 multiply her members by millions in a year, but unless in 
 them she possesses examples of the spiritual life and excel- 
 lence of truth, as seen in their penitence, humility, faith, 
 and purity, her arm for its support will not thereby be 
 strengthened. She executes a part of her trust, as the ark 
 of God, to keep the testimony deposited in her ; but it is 
 not fully discharged, unless she is alsodhe candlestick from 
 which the light doth shine. 
 
 That Christians may become such living 'witnesses 
 to the truth, it is needful that they be deeply imbued with 
 its spirit. Not that they should enter with zeal into 
 the ephemeral controversies of the time; not that they 
 should seek to become wise professors of the science of in- 
 terpretation and zealous defenders of mere theories, push- 
 ing their inquiries into subjects before which the loftiest 
 intellect has need of the docility of a child; but that they 
 should so receive and commune with the doctrines of Chris- 
 tianity, as to evince their power over the heart. Not mere- 
 ly that they should learn how to apply the truth for the 
 condemnation of sin in others, but also for the destruction 
 of sin in themselves. That they, by its power on their 
 own hearts, should be the mirror to reflect its beauty, gen- 
 tleness and purity. They must, therefore, incorporate it 
 
IN THE PROPAGATION OF THE TRUTH. 
 
 11 
 
 in tlieir character, so as to exalt it before the eyes, and 
 commend it to the consciences of men. 
 
 in the second place, Christians should be helpers to the 
 truth, by furnishing and sustaining a faithful ministry, as 
 the principal means of its propagation. Ever since Chris- 
 tianity was given to the world, it has demanded a publica- 
 tion and defence by the living preacher. The Church has 
 ever felt her obligation to defend and expound her doctrines, 
 through her ministers. Through them, her voice must still 
 be heard, in making known the faith once delivered to the 
 saints. There are other channels for reaching man with 
 argument and instruction. Much may be done through 
 the press, to teach the people knowledge. Let the religious 
 tract utter its voice in every habitation. Let Baxter and 
 Bunyan, Doddridge and Edwards, though dead, yet speak, 
 as their imperishable works are distributed through the 
 land. But when all this is done, the means are not fur- 
 nished for giving the Gospel its full and proper action on 
 the mind. Other means, in connexion with Sabbath schools 
 and the religious press, without the ministry, will want 
 permanence and efficiency. All this has been proved by 
 actual experiment. Then we believe that the ministry is 
 the great instrument for spreading the truth, by the ap- 
 pointment of God. This instrumentality has received es- 
 pecial distinction by the Head of the Church. In corres- 
 pondence with this appointment of God, the character and 
 condition of the people call for this agency. We see a 
 reason for its pre-eminence in God’s arrangement, in its fit- 
 ness to arrest the conscience, to awaken the intellect, to 
 control and guide the feelings of men. Without it, broad 
 and permanent foundations cannot be laid, on which the 
 religious structure among a people, can be erected in full 
 and fair proportions. This will indeed be God’s building; 
 yet in regard to the instruments, the minister is the master- 
 builder. Much must be done by other hands, but it is 
 auxiliary to this agency. You cannot do too much in the 
 
12 
 
 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS, 
 
 use of any appropriate instrumentalities, but it has been, 
 and still will be true, that the pulpit is the grand propaga- 
 tor of the truth. How shall they hear , how shall they be- 
 lieve , without a preacher 1 
 
 The more I study the genius of our country and its in- 
 stitutions, the obstacles that exist to the spread of the truth, 
 the character of the mind to be impressed, with its active, 
 ever- changing elements; the stronger is my conviction that 
 the point where the Church can least afford to become 
 weak, is in her ministry. The ministry is her right arm. 
 Without it, she cannot strike the blow that is needful to 
 demolish the systems of error that are magnifying them- 
 selves against the truth. The ministry is her trumpet- 
 tongue. Through it alone can she speak, so that the rush- 
 ing, leaping mind of this nation will stop and listen. By 
 no other means, disconnected from this, can she reach in a 
 commanding voice, the bosom and the heart of this great 
 people with the claims of the God of heaven. By no other 
 means can she retain the ground she has gained, before 
 existing adverse forces, or be prepared for the new conflicts 
 that await her. She may erect her defence in piles of 
 forms and ceremonies, with the hope of forming a harbor 
 of safe retreat for the truth, but they will prove only like 
 heaps of loose rubbish before the rushing waters of infi- 
 delity. She will not CQnquer without the divine blessing, 
 but the agency which that blessing will especially crown, 
 is an able spiritual ministry. 
 
 Such a ministry cannot be furnished, unless the Church 
 shall lend her efficient aid. God has not defined the meth- 
 od in which the efforts of his people shall be put forth for 
 this object. lie has left it to be determined by the Church, 
 under the guidance of his Providence and Spirit. But if it 
 be granted that the truth is to be propagated chielly by a 
 ministry, qualified to teach and defend it, then the Church 
 cannot escape the responsibility of bearing some part in 
 the work of preparing it. From among her devoted sons, 
 
IN THE PROPAGATION OF T1IE TROTH. 
 
 13 
 
 she must give up those to this work, whom ( hrist will ap- 
 prove. The means for such an education as is now de- 
 manded, cannot be enjoyed, unless they are provided by 
 the friends of science and religion. 'There must be large 
 facilities for literary and theological training, that our young 
 men may be qualified to enter the sacred ollicc as^wor k men 
 that need not be ashamed. Let the sensibility of the Church 
 he increased a hundred-fold, in regard to this method of 
 aiding the progress of truth, and she will do no more than 
 meet her obligation. If she folds her arms, under the con- 
 viction that this is a department that does not call lor her 
 care; if she has no word of encouragement to speak to her 
 sons, who ought to be prepared for this otlice, and no heart 
 to aid those who are struggling towards it with many ob- 
 stacles; if she can leave the institutions designed for the 
 education of our youth, limited, weak and crippled in their 
 resources, she is withholding an influence most essential to 
 the cause of truth. The developments of Providence, 
 before a long time, will convince her of her duty. 
 
 The Church has something to do, in sustaining a faith- 
 ful and permanent ministry, as a means of promoting the 
 truth. The position which she takes, and the voice which 
 she utters in relation to this office, is of immense impor- 
 tance to its efficiency. Let her understand the place which 
 God has assigned to it in his spiritual economy. Let her 
 form such an estimate of the office, and of the dependence 
 of Christianity upon it, that her confidence and hopes re- 
 specting it. shall be rational and scriptural. That the min- 
 istry may have permanence and success, it is important 
 that the Church adhere to the principles of Christian faith 
 and order, which have come down to us from our Puritan 
 ancestors. Those principles have been tried, incorporated 
 as they were in the very foundations of the Churches 
 of New England. They are identified with a ministry 
 faithfully and successfully laboring to promote the pro- 
 gress of truth. Under their influence, the choicest mind 
 
14 
 
 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS. 
 
 and piety have been developed. Now we live, if ye stand 
 fast in the Lord. The strength of the ministry depends 
 much on the strength and stability of the Church. If she 
 is faithful to her principles, she imparts life and energy to 
 her standard-bearers. Let it be that standing fast in the 
 faith, which will sustain them in publishing and defending 
 that faith. That standing fast in old, tried principles, 
 which have given beauty to the structure of the Church, 
 and efficiency to her efforts, especially through her earnest, 
 intelligent and devoted ministers. The ministry will pursue, 
 most successfully, its great work of propagating the truth, 
 when it is enbosomed in a Church that stands unshaken 
 on the old foundations; that counts truth better than nov- 
 elty, order better than change, and the growth of the hid- 
 den spiritual life, fostered by the truth, as indispensable to 
 her highest prosperity. Let the prayers of the Church 
 ever encompass her ministers, that on them may rest the 
 endowments of the Holy Spirit. Throwing such an influ- 
 ence around them, she will utter a loud and effective voice 
 for the truth. She will give the grand agency of God’s 
 appointment, the best opportunity to accomplish its mighty 
 work. She will check its tendency to mere itinerancy. 
 Her prayers, her stedfastness, and her co-operation, will 
 add the best facilities for its permanent efforts and augment- 
 ing usefulness; so that the word of the Lord shall have 
 free course, and be glorified. 
 
 In the third place, Christians should aid the truth, by 
 exalting its essential principles, as a basis of fellowship. 
 The cause of truth is one, though its friends are divided 
 into different organizations. To some, it is matter of chief 
 lamentation, that all the churches that hold the faith of 
 Christ, are not one church in name and form. It ought 
 rather to be a cause of lamentation, that among the churches 
 that are one in the essential doctrines of their faith, there 
 should exist in any, an exclusive spirit, which puts in a 
 place of essential importance, an external appendage, so 
 
IN THE PROPAGATION OF THE TRUTH. 
 
 15 
 
 that they cannot be in the full sense, fellow-helpers to the 
 truth. What have the lovers of a common faith to do, in 
 erecting a wall that bars Christian union, by elevating above 
 the vital elements of Christianity, that which docs not touch 
 nor impair them ! And that too, when the truth on which 
 man's salvation depends, is contending against many open 
 enemies. It is our privilege, on the authority of the Bible, 
 to protest against this spirit of exclusiveness, wherever it 
 is manifested, in which there is a hinderance to the progress 
 of truth. Whatever more of unity, in the opinion of some, 
 it is desirable to gain, this assuredly is important; such a 
 fraternal recognition among companies of Christians, under 
 different external organizations, that their position, in re- 
 spect to each other, shall not prevent their being fellow- 
 helpers to that truth which is common to them all. For 
 there can be fellowship in promoting the truth, while there 
 is not an outward uniformity, if the spirit of the Gospel is 
 prevalent. In the language of the great champion of Scot- 
 tish Free Church principles, “Co-operation, not incorpora- 
 tion,” is the first thing to be secured. Out of fellowship in 
 the truth, must come fellowship in the work of propagat- 
 ing it. 
 
 In this cause, there is an amount of interest common to 
 all the disciples of Christ, which is sufficient to give free 
 exercise to the love of the Gospel. Suppose that one church 
 should protrude, with ungracious dictation, a little change 
 in Christian dialect, a posture of the body, a fold of the 
 garment, or some form which neither in the name of reason 
 nor faith, could be regarded as essential, with a view of 
 elevating herself to single or unequalled claims as a church, 
 it would be breaking a strand in that cord of love, always 
 too weak, by which the followers of Christ ought to be bound 
 together. When a company of the people of God, assume 
 such ground, they take away something from the power of 
 the Church, in spreading the truth. It calls off attention 
 from fundamental principles, to things subordinate. It pre- 
 
1G 
 
 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS, 
 
 seats Christianity to the world, in a light in which its Author 
 did not intend it should appear. By such an example, the 
 capacity of the truth to gain attention and confidence, is 
 diminished; and much zeal and energy that ought to help 
 it, are exhausted in sustaining claims, distinct from its ex- 
 istence and essential prerogatives. Where truth alike is 
 received in different sections of the church, who believes 
 that for the sake of forms alone — which are not alike — 
 Christ elects for the bestowmenl of his love, one section, to 
 the exclusion of another? And what is more plain, than 
 that our love should flow in the same channel, broad and 
 free, with that of the love of Christ? With those who 
 agree in the essentials of their faith, should there not be 
 the love which will make them its fellow-helpers? 
 
 In the fourth place, Christians should aid the truth, by 
 devoting their property to sustain the church in extending 
 the institutions of the Gospel. It is no new doctrine, that 
 for the support of the cause of religion, God demands the 
 treasures he has committed to the care of his people. If 
 it was true under the ancient economy, it is especially true 
 under the Christian dispensation, when the property of 
 Christians, from the beginning of it, was devoted to the 
 extension of religious institutions. What more beautiful 
 feature of their character, than the systematic distribu- 
 tion of their charity to sustain tlite cause of Christianity, 
 struggling against many adversaries? It is also a striking 
 evidence of the power of the Gospel in breaking the bands 
 of selfishness and avarice. Here it is seen that self-conse- 
 cration to God, on the part of an individual, embraces the 
 earthly substance entrusted to him. The spirit of that 
 consecration, compels him to recognize the authority of the 
 command, “Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with 
 the first-fruits of all thine increase.” On all his gold and 
 silver, houses and lands, it compels him to write, “Holiness 
 to the 1 -ord.” 
 
 The present economy of Christian cflbrt in behalf of the 
 
IN THE PROPAGATION OF THE TRUTH. 
 
 17 
 
 truth, demands the practical application of the spirit of the 
 Gospel, ill regard to property. It is an economy adopted 
 ns the result of study, of wisdom and experience. Perfec- 
 tion is not claimed for it. But as to cheapness, efficiency, 
 and success, it has been so far tried in its different depart- 
 ments, as to command the confidence of the wise and good. 
 Its results are certainly such, if we look no farther than 
 our own land, as must gladden the hearts of all the friends 
 of truth, and prove to them that God has given them abun- 
 dant reward for every cent they have cast into his treasury. 
 Many sons of sorrow and of want, have been blessed by 
 their liberality, the voice of whose gratitude they will never 
 hear in this world, but whose song in heaven will witness 
 to it, through eternity. 
 
 This work of propagating the truth, I say, is still depen- 
 dent on the liberality of Christians. Withhold it, and you 
 say, concerning the associations organized to promote the 
 truth, let them be disbanded. Let the missionary to the 
 Gentiles, if he go at all, go at his own charges. Let the 
 people who need the ministers of Christ, procure them as 
 they can. Let the press be stopped which is furnishing the 
 Bible and a Christian literature for the world. Let the 
 feeble bands of Christ's disciples, who cry for help amid 
 their struggles and trials, cry in vain. Withhold your 
 property from this hallowed enterprise, and you say to the 
 destitute, the stricken and afflicted, we have no compassion 
 for you. Let ignorance, error and darkness, still reign. 
 Let the angel of mercy, who has gone forth publishing sal- 
 vation to the nations, be arrested in his flight. Let genera- 
 tion after generation of immortal men, still move on with 
 dark and rapid tread to the grave, unvisited by the truth. 
 Let the church stop the wheels of her vast machinery, and 
 tell the world she can no more lift her hands for its recove- 
 ry. To this it must come, if Christians withhold the gold 
 and the silver, without which the enterprise of propagat- 
 ing the truth, cannot be sustained. And is there a man re-

 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS. 
 
 joicing ill the knowledge of the truth, to whose heart it lias 
 come with the light and love and glory of the cross, but 
 who is not yet visited by the spirit of a cheerful giver, who 
 is not startled by such an interpretation of his illiberally? 
 It is a sound interpretation, and one which the light of the 
 next world will confirm. 
 
 It is more than time that I proceed to urge on the friends 
 of truth, by one or two considerations, the duty which has 
 now been unfolded. 
 
 Contemplate for a moment, the value of that truth, in 
 the propagation of which you are called to lend your aid. 
 It is not the device of a human intellect. It is not the 
 dream of a philosopher or a self-constituted prophet. The 
 truth is from heaven, bearing the seal of divinity. Who 
 would bring into comparison with it, the writings of Con- 
 fucius, of Plato, or of Seneca? It is the utterance of the 
 Infinite Mind, on subjects momentous to man. Let the 
 dreams and imaginings of men, lie unnoticed and unknown. 
 Let religious systems, made up of nothing but human con- 
 jectures, be confined to the spot where they were produced, 
 and perish out of memory. But let the word of the Eter- 
 nal, receive the earnest testimony of all. In it are centred 
 the dearest interests of man. It is the fountain, the law, 
 the spirit of life. It is the purifier, the reformer of the 
 world. It stands alone, above all other systems, the re- 
 vealer of the being and perfections of God, and in such a 
 light as to elevate and purify the creature. It alone re- 
 veals a Saviour, in whom the hope of heaven dawns on a 
 lost world. Blot it out, and you clothe the heavens and 
 the earth in night. You rob the world of its only hope, 
 and sink it to remediless ruin. Take this treasure to your 
 hearts. Carry it to your fellow men. 'Peach this truth to 
 every individual, and imbue the universal mind with its 
 doctrines. 
 
 Notice also, the glory and excellence of the work to be 
 achieved by the truth. We have done a good work when 
 
IN THE PROPAGATION OF THE TRUTH. 
 
 19 
 
 we are the instruments of bringing one mind to the knowl- 
 edge of the truth, before in darkness. Much more when 
 we are the instruments of redeeming a community of minds 
 from error and ignorance; and still more, of imbuing the 
 intellect of a nation with the principles of Christianity. 
 How grand the spectacle, when the mind of a nation, 
 crushed and corrupted, rises from its ruins, made free by 
 the truth! When man awakes to the consciousness of his 
 relations to God and to immortality, and embraces the re- 
 sponsibilities involved in those relations. This is a tri- 
 umph which truth only can achieve. Such a triumph it is 
 destined to achieve over man, whether it finds him held by 
 the stern and bigoted faith of the false prophet, enslaved 
 and galled in the shackles of Romanism, or benighted in 
 heathen superstitions. As the work of the Church in aid 
 of the truth goes on, planting it where it is not, and sus- 
 taining it where it is struggling for existence, such specta- 
 cles of moral regeneration will be multiplied, till the earth 
 becomes the garden of the Lord. 
 
 On this occasion, we need not look beyond our own land. 
 We are a people not more strange in our diversified ele- 
 ments of character, than in the various positions we oc- 
 cupy in regard to religious truth. Churches of Christ are 
 established in our large cities, but many thousands there, 
 do not hear the truth. Throughout that portion of our ter- 
 ritory which is best supplied with religious privileges, error 
 is proclaimed by the side of the truth, with the warmest 
 zeal. Beyond this, is a territory ever enlarging, where er- 
 ror does not wait to see if truth is coming to take posses- 
 sion, but at once advances with her heralds, and plants her 
 standards. Who shall define the thousand forms which 
 error assumes ? We need not go abroad, to take the di- 
 mensions of the massive systems of error, under which the 
 human intellect is prostrated in other lands. We need not 
 stop to look at the silly fables, the monstrous dogmas of 
 Paganism, which deface a large part of the eastern world, 
 
THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS, 
 
 20 
 
 Leave out of view, the warped and degraded mind of 
 Catholic Europe. Fix your eyes on this land of the Puri- 
 tans ; the land chosen by Providence as the refuge for 
 truth, in the day of its oppression. It had few helpers at 
 first, and struggled against mighty obstacles. Its friends 
 are greatly multiplied, but it is still its destiny to grapple 
 with error. Truth is still denied, perverted and corrupted. 
 The, Protestant faith is assailed. Hostility breaks out, 
 sometimes fiercely, against long established principles, and 
 old foundations are shaken. Then we are a peculiar peo- 
 ple, in that we have no throne to prescribe a creed wherever 
 it has a subject, and to exact implicit faith wherever it sends 
 an edict. We have no royal treasury to build a church, 
 wherever it draws a tribute. We have no authority to sell 
 spiritual indulgences, and take the money to extend our 
 holy religion. The people claim the right of thinking for 
 themselves. They are making and choosing their systems 
 of faith. 
 
 This is inviting ground on which to found the institu- 
 tions of the Gospel. It is a work too, of high and press- 
 ing moment, to establish the sway of truth over a land of 
 such a destiny as this. It is occupying a field which is not 
 doubtful in its claims, or in the prospect of success. It is 
 embracing the opportunity to make truth triumphant in a 
 nation, the star of whose morning has given promise of a 
 meridian glory that shall distinguish this above all nations. 
 It is embracing the opportunity to make the Puritan faith, 
 the faith of a nation whose political principles are making 
 monarchs tremble on their thrones; whose position, when 
 tnjtth is universally established, will make it the instrument 
 of undermining the thrones of error that sway with such 
 direful rule, a large part of the earth. 
 
 The truth, under God’s blessing, and that only, will ac- 
 complish the work of regeneration in this land. To human 
 appearance, there are schemes enough projected, to over- 
 come every evil in a day. And there is confidence enough 
 
rN THE PROPAGATION OF THE TRUTH. 
 
 21 
 
 in some quarters, to expect this, if certain schemes, but 
 little trusted in beyond their authors, could but prevail. 
 But the intelligent, Christian observer must perceive, that 
 no hitman devices will avail. We must fall back, with a 
 sound, old-fashioned faith, upon the truth and the agency 
 of the Spirit of truth — upon the simple truth, faithfully 
 illustrated by the Church, and published by her ministers 
 through the land. 
 
 To aid in sending abroad the truth, is the object of that 
 Society whose anniversary we celebrate this day. It turns 
 aside to no other object. It had its rise in the love of the 
 truth. On that it still depends. With every accession to 
 its strength, the field is enlarged to which its energies and 
 bounties ought to be applied. The cause of truth owes 
 much to its operations. 
 
 What should we see to-day, if this Society had not been 
 sustained? What ignorance, error and immorality ? Count 
 the churches that live, because it has blessed them. Count 
 the schools established through its agency; the ignorance 
 enlightened; the intemperance and Sabbath-breaking, which 
 it has prevented. Estimate its influence on the happiness 
 of families, and the order and comfort of society. Count 
 the souls converted to Christ through the truth it has pub- 
 lished. Hear the voices of praise to the Redeemer, which 
 it has awakened, as they are now sounding over these hills 
 and valleys; and then tell me, if this Society is not the 
 great benefactor of our State. As we love the land which 
 God has given us; as we love the church, and the truth 
 which is in Christ for the salvation of man, let us give to 
 this enterprise the prayers of warm hearts, and the co-op- 
 eration of a willing and bountiful charity.

REPORT 
 
 OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE MAINE MISSIONARY SOCIETY, AT 
 THEIR THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING, IN BATH, 
 JUNE 20, 1844, 
 
 In submitting their Annual Report on this occasion, the Trustees of the 
 Maine Missionary Society, as in former years, would present in detail, to 
 the members, patrons and friends of the Institution, the labors, trials, ob- 
 stacles and successes of the various missionaries, whom their charities have 
 sustained in the vineyard of the Lord, during the year past. It is a beaten 
 track, and therefore nothing new to be looked for; “ a plain, unvarnished 
 tale,” accompanied by no startling occurrences, to awaken depth of feel- 
 ing, or to arouse to unaccustomed action. It is a straight-forward course, 
 with very gradual, tkmgh continuous advances 
 
 When the annual meeting was held here, in 1310, there were 53 Congre- 
 gational professors in the place. There are now between 400 and 500 ; 
 and the Missionary Society has increased, in numbers, influence and op- 
 erations, in about the same ratio. It has never had any very sudden en- 
 largement ; but caution has been exercised, that whenever it did take a 
 6tep, it should be a step forward. It has “ held on the noiseless tenor of 
 its way,” until the little rill has become a broad river, so that many drink 
 of its waters; until the acorn, dropped in the forest-ground, has become a 
 wide-spread oak, where many sit in its shade. “Behold, what a great mat- 
 ter a little fire kindleth ! ” 
 
 AI.PH AEETICAL ttST OF MISSIONARIES. 
 
 Rf.v. Samuel P. Abott, Houlton, Aroostook County. — 4 months. — This 
 is one of the outposts of our Zion ; but though the most distant, not the 
 least interesting portion, in the field of the Society’s operations. It is the 
 only establishment in the County, where there has been a settled ministry. 
 Since the din of war has been hushed upon the border line, immigration 
 has greatly increased, and the region calls loudly for a corresponding in- 
 crease of missionary labors. Besides sustaining this stand, the Society has 
 had two other missionaries, a part of the year, laboring in the vicinity. 
 Mr. Abott had scarcely completed one-fourth of the year, when, through 
 failure of health, he was obliged to discontinue his labors ; though a min- 
 
34 
 
 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE 
 
 istering brother, on the eve of his departure, entered into his labors, and has 
 since been installed to the pastoral charge of the church. 
 
 Mr. Charles E. Abbott, Weld, Franklin County, 1 month. — Mr. Ab- 
 bott’s report states : “ Much of the time that I was there, was very stormy, 
 and when the weather was fair, the people were much engaged in hus- 
 bandry. I visited, however, as much as I could, and saw a good number 
 of the people. I think they value religious ordinances, and that there is 
 an interesting class of young people, male and female, who will in a few 
 years, be strong in a good cause. A man whose taste would lead him to a 
 farming town, and who would be content to labor now, and reap three or 
 four years hence, would, I think, be successful in building up a large and 
 full society." 
 
 Since Mr. Abbott left this ground, the people have engaged a stated sup- 
 ply for a year. 
 
 Rev. Silas Baker, Standish, Cumberland County, 1 4 months. — Mr. Ba- 
 ker has left this stand, and taken the pastoral charge of the church in Bux- 
 ton ; and the people in Standish have engaged a stated supply, sustained 
 by themselves. 
 
 Rev. Uriah Bai.kam, Union, Lincoln County, 3 months. — Mr. Balkain 
 writes: “ During the year past, nothing of special interest has occurred ; 
 and yet, with respect to the order and proprieties of the gospel, I think 
 there has been a steady advance. Unpromising as the field now is, I can- 
 not doubt that the time is coming, when a rich harvest will be gathered ” 
 
 Mr. Samuel Bowker, East Prospect, Waldo County, 3 months. — Mr. 
 Bowker writes : This church, “ though cast down, is not forsaken. Though 
 her members have not been increased, during the past year, yet her faith, 
 with respect to some of her members, has grown stronger; and of all her 
 members, it may be said, that they remain steadfast in the faith." 
 
 Rev. Isaac Carleton, Oxford, Oxford County, 2 £ months. — Mr. Carl- 
 ton’s Journal states : “ Though no additions Jiave been made to the church, 
 during the year ; yet somethings look encouraging. Our new meeting- 
 house was dedicated, on the first of July last; and since that time, the con- 
 gregation has increased in numbers, twenty per cent.” 
 
 Rev. E. G. Carpenter, Exeter and Dexter, Penobscot County, 3 
 months. 
 
 Rev. James C arruthers, Somerset, Kennebec, and Cumberland Coun 
 lies, 6 months. — Mr. Carruthers continued his labors in this State, till 
 January, 1841. Since that time, he has been city missionary in Boston, 
 Mass. 
 
 Rev. Mr. Carver, Pittston, Kennebec County, 1 J months. — Mr. Carver 
 has been laboring in this place, as the people, though their pastor is not 
 formally dismissed, are now destitute His labors hitherto, so far as known, 
 have been acceptable. 
 
 Mr. Sumner Clark, Hancock and Waldo Counties, 1 months.— Mr 
 
Maine missionary society. 
 
 25 
 
 Clark lias supplied at Swanville, Freedom, aud Unity. At the last men- 
 tioned place, they have requested him to abide with them a year. Of this 
 place, he remarks : “ Our congregation, on the Sabbath, has been gradually 
 increasing; other meetings unusually well attended. On the whole, we 
 can report some progress.” 
 
 Rev. Dana Claves, Kennebec and Lincoln Counties, 9 months. — Mr 
 Clayes spent seven months, in Sidney, North Augusta, Vassalborough, Se- 
 basticook, and Windsor, Kennebec County. These churches are all feeble, 
 though some of them have been very much resuscitated and encouraged by 
 the labors of the missionary. He has also spent two months at Jefferson, 
 Lincoln County. Of this last place, he says: “This church is in the in- 
 fancy of its days, being only a few months old. In respect to numbers and 
 property, it is an infant in strength. I am happy to say, however, that it 
 has all the organs, beauty and symmetry, which belong to those of mature 
 years. The members seem harmonious, prudent, affectionate, docile, and 
 active. They have provided themselves with a suitable communion ser- 
 vice, and according to their ability, have made provision for sustaining the 
 ministrations of the gospel. They have also taken preliminary stops for 
 the erection of a house of w r orship, which I think will succeed.” 
 
 Rev. Joseph II. Conant, Chesterville, Franklin County, 1 ■] months. — 
 Mr. Conant writes : “ Five individuals have been added to our number, by 
 profession, during the missionary year ; and though this may be small, com- 
 pared with accessions made to some churches, yet, tracing the kind hand 
 of Providence towards us, we find much which should awaken emotions of 
 gratitude and praise.” 
 
 Mr. Adoniuam J. Copeland, Orono, Penobscot County, 2 J months. 
 
 Rev. Timothy Davis, Litchfield, Kennebec County, 1 $ months. — Mr. 
 Davis reports that, “ Seven members have been added to the church ; five 
 by profession, and two by letter; and one has deceased, and six have been 
 dismissed to the Church at Richmond : making the whole number the same 
 as last year.” 
 
 Rev Nathan Douglass, St. Albans and vicinity, Somerset County, 1 i 
 months. — Air . Douglass writes : “ Our church has not increased, the year 
 past; but the number attending on the preached word, has increased. In 
 this town, and in Palmyra also, since the great mathematical question con- 
 cerning the end of the world, has proved fallacious, many are settling down 
 on better ground.” 
 
 Rev. Samuel S. Drake, Garland and Sangerville, 3 \ months. — Mr. 
 Drake writes of Sangerville : “The prospects of this church, are much the 
 same as heretofore ; if any different, I think they are better than formerly ; 
 and for this reason especially, that they have now a convenient place of 
 worship, for one quarter of the time. They are well united and firm, and 
 evidently lovers of the truth. But they are few, and should be reckoned 
 among the feeble sons of Jacob.”

 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE 
 
 Rjkv. George W. Fargo, Aroostook County, 3 months. — Mr. Fargo 
 writes: “ My missionary labors have been somewhat arduous, but very 
 pleasant and encouraging. My view of the importance of supplying this 
 extensive region, increases, as the new settlements increase, in every suc- 
 cessive tour I have made.” 
 
 Rev. Jonas Fisk, Vassalborough, Kennebec County, 3 months. — Mr. 
 Fisk engaged to supply at this place for one year, only three-fourths of 
 which have transpired. “ The church,” he writes, “ are, for the most part, 
 happily united, both in feeling and effort. Three have joined to the church ; 
 more expected soon ” 
 
 Rev. Amos N. Freeman, Abyssinian Church, Portland, 2 4 months. 
 
 Rev. Joseph Freeman, Strong, Franklin County, 1 | months. — Mr. 
 Freeman has been ordained pastor of the church, during his mission. II is 
 report states : “ During the past year, we have not enjoyed the special out- 
 pouring of the Spirit, as in the year previous. But the work of divine 
 grace, has seemed to be deepening, in the hearts of God’s people ; and 
 there is, I think, at the present time, an increasing interest among us, in 
 the things of religion. Six have been received to the church : five by pro- 
 fession, one by letter.” 
 
 Rev. David Gerry, Hiram and Brownfield, Oxford County, 3 months. — 
 Mr. Gerry writes : “ There has been no special awakening, among the 
 people of my care ; but it is very manifest, that there has been a growing 
 interest in the institutions of religion; and our congregation has consid- 
 erably increased, during the past year.” 
 
 Rev. Solomon B. Gilbert, Kennebunkport, York County, 2 4 months. — 
 Mr. Gilbert’s Journal states : “ We are not able to report any special reli- 
 gious interest, during the past year; yet w T e feel confident, that the cause 
 of religion, upon the whole, is gaining a more prominent place in the hearts 
 and affections of God's people. Eight have joined to the church ; six by 
 profession, and two by letter.” 
 
 Rev. James Goocii, Patten, Penobscot County, 2 months. — Mr. Goocli 
 performed this service, early in the year. Some other missionaries have 
 been on the ground since that time. The church is small, and unable to 
 accomplish much, without aid. 
 
 Mu Smith B. Goodenow, Sebasticook and vicinity, 1 month. 
 
 Rev. L. W. Harris, North Bridgton, 2 5 months. 
 
 Mr. Stephen H. Haves, Frankfort, Waldo County, 3 4 months. — The 
 time of the engagement of Mr. Hayes, at this place, ends in October next. 
 He writes: “ The church have, in some degree, been revived. At the last 
 communion, four were added, three by profession, and one by letter. There 
 are several others who indulge a hope, and will probably, at some time, 
 unite with the church.” 
 
 Mr. Charles D. Herbert, Burlington, Penobscot County, 1 month. — 
 A communication from Mr. Herbert, under date of 4th inst. stales : “ I on- 
 
MAINE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 
 
 yr 
 
 tered upon iny labors here, 24th of April last. When 1 arrived, I found a 
 Freewill Baptist brother had been holding meetings, two or three weeks, in 
 hopes of a revival. With him I united, and we proceeded with perfect 
 harmony. We had reason to believe that the Lord attended our labor with 
 his blessing. Many were awakened and convicted, and some were found 
 seeking the strait and narrow path. All seemed ready and even eager, to 
 converse about their eternal interests. It was sometimes affecting to receive 
 the cordial grasp of a stranger's hand, while with tearful eye, they urged 
 me soon to visit them. Surely, the benefactors of the Missionary Society, 
 would feel richly repaid, could they see how precious are the bread and 
 water of life, to those who are hungering and thirsting in the wilderness." 
 
 “ This is a most important station. The people of different denomina- 
 tions, have all united their efforts, in tire erection of a very commodious 
 house of worship, which will cost.them, when completed, about two thous- 
 and dollars. It is built upon an elevation, commanding a view of a sur- 
 rounding country of great fertility, and rich in other resources. This re- 
 gion is fast filling up with Maine’s hardiest sons. They come here single- 
 handed. But help them now, and we may hope, with the smiles of Him 
 who loves his church, that they will be soon able to help themselves." 
 
 Rev. Israel Hills, Lovell, Oxford County, 2 \ months. 
 
 Mr. Morris IIol.man, Second Church, York, 2 months. 
 
 Rev. E. S. Hofkins, Rumford, Oxford County, 1 month. — The last 
 appropriation to this church, extended a few weeks into the present year ; 
 at which time, they nobly resolved to assume the support of the gospel to 
 themselves, and arc probably prospering the better for it. 
 
 Rev. Anson Hibbard, Andover, 2 months. — “Faint, yet pursuing.” 
 Mr. Hubbard writes; “The darkness with which we are surrounded, does 
 not grow darker; and so we encourage ourselves, and go forward. Few 
 people are more willing to struggle with difficulties in sustaining the min- 
 istry, than are the friends of the cause in this place.” 
 
 Rev. Horatio Ilsley, Abbot, Tiscataquis Count}', 3 months. — Here are 
 four denominations, all worshipping together, and each supplying preach- 
 ing one-fourth of the time, in succession. Mr. Ilsley writes: “The more 
 I become acquainted with our feeble churches, and of the region round 
 about us, the more am I convinced of the importance of having these 
 churches supplied with the preaching of the gospel at stated times. One 
 Sabbath in four, (if it cannot be enjoyed oflener,) has a tendency to keep 
 things together, and to give life and permanency to the church, and to the 
 ordinances of the gospel among them. This whole region is destitute of 
 many of the precious privileges which are enjoyed in older parts of the 
 State. But Congregationalism, and truth, and sound piety, are far in ad- 
 vance of what they were four years ago. I hope the Missionary Society 
 will continue to remember this growing region, and do all that for us, which 
 the necessities of the case demand, and the charities of the churches will 
 warrant them in doing.”

 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE 
 
 Rev. Elijah Kellogg, Harpswell, Cumberland County, 3 months. — 
 Mr. Kellogg has been ordained to the pastoral care of this church, since 
 the close of his missionary labors; and the people now are sustaining their 
 own ordinances of worship. They have erected a new and convenient 
 house of worship, which has been dedicated to the Lord ; and they are 
 now looking and hoping for better times. The report of Mr. Kellogg, 
 under date of 29th April last, states : “ I have completed the term of labor 
 assigned me by your Society, in this place. We feel grateful to the Socie- 
 ty, for their timely assistance, and hope, in future, to be able to help our- 
 selves.” 
 
 Rev. Daniel Kendrick, Lyman, York County, 2 months. — Mr. Ken- 
 drick writes, under date of 8th instant: “ During the year, eight have been 
 added to this church, by profession. These are persons who had experi- 
 enced religion, previous to the commencement, of the year. Our meetings 
 have been as well, and I think better, attended, than in years past.” 
 
 Rev. Reuben Kimball, Kitterv, 3 months. — Mr. Kimball, under date of 
 7th inst. writes : “ We have enjoyed no great outpouring of the Holy Spirit ; 
 and yet we have not been idle, nor destitute of a deep interest in the cause 
 of Christ. The church have enjoyed good meetings ; been more than 
 usually ready for Christian exertions; are united, attentive, and praying 
 for better days to Zion.” 
 
 Rev. Levi Loring, Anson and Athens, 3 months. — Mr. Loring writes : 
 “ I have preached at Anson and Athens villages, alternately, during the 
 year. In the latter place, there has been a considerable increase, in the 
 average attendance on public worship.” 
 
 Rev. Amasa Loring, Shapleigh, 3 4 months — Mr. Loring’s Journal 
 states: “ At the commencement of the year, we dedicated and began to 
 occupy our new meeting-house. This was an important event to us, as it 
 afforded a convenient and stated place for public worship, increased the 
 number of hearers, and concentrated and revived the interests of the So- 
 ciety. Though there has been no special religious interest, yet the church 
 has made some advance in numbers and resources. Six have been received, 
 three by profession, and three by letter. As a people, they are making 
 commendable exertions to sustain the gospel. When we consider the past 
 and nearly hopeless state of this church, the many obstacles to its enlarge- 
 ment, and the progress it has made, we are constrained to view its present 
 prospects flattering, and calculated to cheer us onward.” 
 
 Rev. James T. M’Coi.lom, Pittston, Kennebec County, 1 months. — 
 Mr. M'Collom has removed from this station, and is now supplying at Wis- 
 casset. 
 
 Rev. Josuh G. Merrill, Washington and Windsor, 2 month. s — Mr. 
 Merrill has discontinued his labors at Windsor, and the field is now occu- 
 pied by another missionary. 
 
 Mr. Josiau Merrill, Orland, Hancock County, 1 4 months. — Mr Mer- 
 
MAINE MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

 rill writes : “1 have spent five Sabbaths at Orland. There lias been no 
 Congregational church organized here, though about twenty members of 
 the church in llucksport, reside here. This seems ta be a very important 
 station for a minister of the gospel.” 
 
 Ur.v. Stephen Merrill, Lisbon, Lincoln County, 3 months. — Mr. Mer- 
 rill has left this stand, and is now preaching at Auburn. 
 
 Rev. Alpha Morton, Temple, Franklin County, 1 } months. — Mr. Mor- 
 ton was ordained to the pastoral care of this church, in January last, but 
 his previous engagements have prevented him from supplying them here, 
 vet, except a very small portion of the time. 
 
 Mr. Benjamin Mead, Lincoln and Hancock Counties, 1 month. 
 
 Mr. John Orr, Sebasticook and vicinity, 1 5 months. 
 
 Rev. Robert Pace, Penobscot County, 7 months. — Mr. Page has sup- 
 plied, more or less, almost all the destitute churches in Penobscot County, 
 having “ preached in Dixmont, Levant, Glenburne, North Bangor, Still- 
 water, Old Town, Lincoln, Burlington and Patten.” He has also sup- 
 plied many waste places, in the same region. II is report contains a de- 
 tailed account of the condition of these churches, their numbers, resour- 
 ces, situation, wants and prospects. They are almost all feeble ; some of 
 them in the midst of a growing population. 
 
 Of Lincoln, he says; “The church here, as in most of the other places, 
 is very feeble, consisting only of three resident male members. It is, how- 
 ever, a place of importance — a great thoroughfare, and distinguished for 
 its water-power. It is quite a village, and the centre of business for a con- 
 siderable region ; has a manufacturing company chartered, and gives prom- 
 ise of increasing in wealth and population. Though the church at present 
 could do but little for the support of the gospel ; yet it is thought that many 
 would join with them, and contribute to a considerable amount ; so that 
 soon they might be able to sustain the ministry of themselves, one-half of 
 the time.” Speaking of Patten, which is the most northerly church in 
 Penobscot County, he states : “This is another centre; an excellent soil, 
 a considerable village, and a rapidly growing population. The Congrega- 
 tional church, new as the place is, (only eleven years old,) is only one 
 among four or five churches of different denominations. The church is in 
 harmony, and possesses a good degree of influence. A minister, stationed 
 here, might extend his labors to No. 4, directly east of this, (which is in 
 Aroostook County,) and thence five miles farther, to Grand Falls; and 
 also to many other villages, springing up in the region ; from all which, 
 he might soon receive one-half of his support.” 
 
 Rev. Calvin E. Park, Waterville, Kennebec County, 2 months. — The 
 pastoral relation of Mr. Park, to the church, has been dissolved, and he 
 has removed from this stand. 
 
 Rev. Cyril Pearl, Harrison, Cumberland County, 2 £ months. — Mr. 
 Pearl writes : “ The religious interest, mentioned in my last year’s report,

 did not entirely subside, for some weeks; and it has left a healthful state 
 of feeling, generally, in the church. Nine have been added; seven by 
 profession, and two by letter.” 
 
 i Rev. John Perham, Anson, Madison and Flagg-Staff, 1 4 months. — Mr. 
 Perham reports : “There are several persons who contemplate joining to 
 the church in Madison soon ; twelve have been added to the church in 
 Anson; and a church has been organized at Flagg-Staff, consisting of 
 thirty-two members. These three churches have united in giving Iq Mr. 
 Perham, a call to take the pastoral charge of them. 
 
 Rev. Josiah W. Peet, Gardiner, 4 months. — Mr. Peet writes: “We 
 hope several cases of conversion have occurred among us, during the year, 
 and that the church has increased in knowledge and grace.” 
 
 Rev. John A. Perry, Jonesborough, Washington County, 2 months. — 
 Mr. Perry is the pastor of the church at Whitneyville, (Maehias,) but has 
 supplied at Jonesborough, a portion of the year. 
 
 Rev. William Pierce, Cape Elizabeth, 2 \ months. — “Three have been 
 received by profession, and one by letter.” 
 
 Rev. Henry Richardson, Gilead, 1 month. — Mr. Richardson preaches 
 alternately to this church, and to the church in Shelburne, N. H. 
 
 Rev. William T. Savage, Houlton, Aroostook County, 3 months. — 
 Mr. Savage has been installed, during his mission in this place. His is 
 the only church in the County*; that has a pastor. Indeed, there is but one 
 besides; though there are three, in the north-eastern part of Penobscot 
 County, (Patten, Lincoln, and Burlington,) which may well be considered 
 as belonging to the region. These five churches, with as many more that 
 might be soon organized, would make a respectable Conference, in this 
 section of the State. 
 
 Mr. Savage writes, in his report, under date of 8th instant: “They con- 
 tribute generously, here, in Houlton, for the support of the gospel, and 
 give more, according to their means, than holds true of any other place 
 with which I am acquainted. Continuance of help, however, fiom the 
 Missionary Society, I believe to be absolutely necessary, to sustain the 
 ordinances of the gospel. I desire, further, to lift up an earnest cry, in 
 behalf of this region ; and I know it will be to those who feel interested 
 for us. We need very much, at the present time, two missionaries, to be 
 permanently established here Monticello, twelve miles north of Houlton, 
 might be the home of one of them, where he might preach one-fourth or 
 one-half of the time ; and two or three other places, as New-Limerick or 
 Hodgdon, would give him full scope for all his activity. The other mis- 
 sionary is needed farther north, on or near the Aroostook river. With two 
 more ministers, we could organize the little churches here, into a Confer- 
 ence, and ourselves into an Association, and act with ten-fold more vigor 
 and encouragement. I am now alone here, and have been here seven 
 months, without an exchange. If the Congregational Christians of the

 State, conld be roused to the importance of acting in this region, now, 
 while the moral elements are held in solution, (as it were,) I am perfectly 
 convinced, that they would be repaid a hundred fold, in the immediate and 
 ultimate triumphs of the Redeemer's cause.” 
 
 Rev. John Sawyer, Penobscot County, 1 month. 
 
 Rev. William S. Sewall, Milo, Blanchard, and Sebec, 3 months. — 
 Mr. Sewall has the pastoral care of the church in Brownville, but spends 
 one-fourth of his time, as a missionary. He labored nine weeks in Milo, 
 and the oilier three weeks at Blanchard and Sebec. “ Two added to the 
 church in Milo.” 
 
 Rev. Jotiiam Sewall, Burlington and vicinity, 3 months. — Mr. Sewall 
 reports: “I spent thirteen weeks in the service of the Maine Missionary 
 Society, principally in Burlington, Lincoln, and vicinity. I preached six- 
 ty-nine times; made two hundred and thirty-six family visits ; attended 
 five Conference meetings; visited a few schools; baptised two adults, and 
 eight children ; admitted four persons to church-fellowship ; and adminis- 
 tered the Lord's supper three times. That part of Lincoln church, living 
 in Springfield, bids fair to become a church by itself. I admitted two males 
 to its communion, and there is a prospect of more being added.” 
 
 Rev. Nathan NY. Sheldon, Gray, Cumberland County, 2 months. — 
 The pastoral relation, between Mr. Sheldon and this church, has been dis- 
 solved, during the year past. 
 
 Rev. Oken Sikes, Mercer, Somerset County, 3 months. — Mr. Sikes has 
 left this stand, and is now preaching in Massachusetts. 
 
 Mr. Thomas Smith, Penobscot and NVashington Counties, 7 months. — 
 Mr. Smith spent one month in Penobscot County, and six months in NVash- 
 ington County. In regard to the latter stations, he says : “ 1 have spent 
 half the time of the six months past, at Cherryfield. This church is com- 
 paratively small, and in a feeble state ; and yet they are willing to engage 
 to sustain a minister for one-half the time, without aid, if he can be em- 
 ployed in the vicinity the other half, by the Missionary Society. I am far 
 separated from Congregational ministers; twenty-seven miles to Ellsworth, 
 the nearest at the west, and the same distance to Machias, the nearest at 
 the east. I have spent five Sabbaths at Columbia, ten miles east of this, 
 where there is a pleasant village of some three hundred inhabitants, but 
 no Congregational church. I also visited several destitute places in the 
 County, and passed two Sabbaths with the church at Whiting. This is a 
 feeble establishment. They are few in numbers, and poor as to the things 
 of this world, but rich in faith and in good works.” 
 
 Mr. Joseph Smith, Old Town, Penobscot County, 2 months. 
 
 Mr. Charles B. Smith. Blanchard and Atkinson, 1 month. — .Mr. Smith 
 writes: “ I supplied by exchange, one Sabbath, at Atkinson, and supplied 
 three Sabbaths at Blanchard. At this latter place, the church numbers 
 about sixty. When destitute of preaching, they hold society meetings,

 Rev. Francis L. Smith, Sidney and vicinity, 1 4 months. 
 
 Mr. Ai.den Southwortii, Piscataquis and Cumberland Counties, 4 
 months. — He spent one-half of his mission at Sebec and Atkinson, and the 
 other half at Raymond, Casco, and Naples. Of this latter stand, he writes : 
 “ This is a field that surely ought to be cultivated. Everything is yet to 
 be done; but I think if the right man was sustained, in this station, one 
 year, the result would be, an increasing religious interest, more readiness 
 to help themselves, and other benefits usually attending a stated ministry.” 
 
 Mr. S. M. Stone, Newfield, York County, 2 months. — Mr. Stone writes : 
 “ Though we have not been cheered by accessions to our number, still we 
 have reason to believe that the cause of Christ is progressing here. Our 
 congregation on the Sabbath, has been full, and all classes among us, have 
 been attentive to the word preached.” 
 
 Rev. Cyrus Stone, Bingham, Solon and vicinity, Somerset County, 
 3 £ months. — Mr. Stone, one of the returned missionaries from India, after 
 recovering his health, took the pastoral charge of the churches in Bing- 
 ham and Solon village ; supplying, also, a portion of the time, at the Forks 
 of the Kennebec, and thence on towards the Canada line; constituting a 
 field very like the theatre of his former labors, when far away towards the 
 rising sun. In his report, under date of 8th instant, lie states : “ The mis- 
 sion assigned me, has been fulfilled in Bingham, Solon village, Moscow, 
 and the region above. Have had good encouragement in preaching, visit- 
 ing, and distributing Bibles and tracts. And though I can report no special 
 manifestations of the Spirit, in the conversion of sinners, yet the churches 
 have been revived, and some few brought into the kingdom of God. Ten 
 have been united to the churches of Bingham and Solon village ; eight to 
 the former, and two to the latter. There has been no vissible progress in 
 the cause of truth and gospel order, in the region of my operations. The 
 churches are gradually assuming a more healthy state ; more stable, more 
 spiritual, more zealous for ‘the faith which was once delivered to the 
 saints.’ I have preached once at the Forks of the Kennebec, and once in 
 the lumber-men’s camp in the forest; have placed the word of God in sev- 
 eral families, before destitute of it; and circulated tracts very extensively. 
 The diocese I have now occupied nearly three years, is a very extensive 
 one, and a field of much promise, if duly cultivated. It is of vast import- 
 ance to all the northern parts of Somerset County, to the church of Christ, 
 and to immortal souls, not only of the present, but of future generations, 
 that the ministry of the gospel and its ordinances, be promptly furnished 
 and efficiently sustained. May the Great Head of the church, open the 
 hearts of those who possess abundance, to supply the needful funds to ex- 
 tend missionary operations, in some good degree commensurate with the 
 spiritual necessities of these extended wastes ! 
 
 Bev Micaii W. Stricklanp, Aurora and Amherst, Hancock County, 
 
MAINE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 
 
 33 
 
 3 months. — Mr. Strickland, in his report, states: “Though I can speak ot 
 no revival of religion among us, yet 1 think there has been a gain in favor 
 of the cause. We have a neat ami commodious house of worship, which 
 lias been built during the year. The erection of it, cost some ellort and 
 self-denial ; but it was very much needed, and we are glad we undertook 
 it. We can now worship God, having none to molest us." 
 
 Mb. Thomas D. Sturtevant, Sebasticook, 1 month. — Mr. Sturtcvant 
 writes : “ My meetings have been usually well attended, and tlie people 
 have seemed attentive to the truth.” 
 
 Mr. Reuben Sweetser, Orrington, Penobscot County, 1 month. — In a 
 communication, under di te of 3d instant, Mr. Swectsorsays : “ I completed 
 my labors at Orrington, on the 23d ult. The religious society has, within 
 the few past years, erected a very convenient house of worship, and earn- 
 estly desire to have the means of grace permanently established among 
 them.” 
 
 Rev. George F. Tewksburv, Albany, Oxford County, 3 months. — The 
 prospects of the Congregational church and society, here, seem to be more 
 encouraging. “ They have made an effort, and 1 believe done the best 
 they could, to redeem the parsonage. I have heard souk; of them remark, 
 that when they got through these embarrassments, they must begin to think 
 of having the aid received from the Missionary, to be gradually diminished ” 
 
 Rev. William Tobev, Kennebec County, 1 month. — Mr. Tobey, after 
 one Sabbath, was requested by the people at Boothbay, to supply them one 
 year ; to which he acceded, and relinquished the remainder of the mis- 
 sion. 
 
 Rev. Henry White, Bradford, Penobscot County, 1 month. — Mr. White 
 is stated supply at Bradford. He writes, under date of June 3d: “This 
 little church, which has been struggling for years to maintain an existence, 
 is now attempting to rise and flourish. Six have been added to it, during 
 the year, constituting more than one-third of the whole number. I have 
 preached in Charlestown, one-fourth of the time, since last autumn ; and 
 they are now getting up a subscription, with a view of having me ppend 
 half of my time, in that place.” 
 
 Rev. Thomas Williams, Poland, Cumberland County, 3 months. — The 
 report of Mr. Williams, under date of 5th instant, states : “ The church 
 and society in this place, remain weak as to their ability to support the 
 gospel; but still have an increasing conviction, that for the good of the 
 cause of religion, it is very important that it should be sustained the whole 
 time.” 
 
 Rev. Luther Wiswell, Brooks and Jackson, Waldo County, 24 
 months. — Mr. Wiswell writes: “There has been nothing, which could be 
 termed a revival of religion, among us ; and yet I cannot help feeling, that 
 many plants of righteousness, have been taking root downward, and bear-

 Rev. Franklin Yeaton, Limington, York County, 3 months. — Mr. 
 Yeaton has taken the pastoral charge of this church, during his mission ; 
 and things here, now wear a more promising aspect. 
 
 RESULTS OF MISSIONARY OPERATIONS. 
 
 The Trustees have employed, during the year now closing, some for a 
 longer and some for a shorter period, seventy-five missionaries ; seven in 
 advance of last year ; and about the same increase in the annual amount 
 of labors. Five of the missionaries, during the year, have been ordained 
 or installed to the pastoral care of the churches where they were laboring; 
 one in Limington, York County ; one in Temple, and one in Strong, Frank- 
 lin County ; one in Houlton, Aroostook County ; and one in Harpswell, 
 Cumberland County. There have been some revivals of religion, in dif- 
 ferent parts of the State, under the ministrations of missionaries, but less 
 powerful in their nature, and more circumscribed in their influence, than 
 in years that are past. Something over one hundred have been added to 
 the feeble churches, probably little more than supply ing the places of those 
 removed by death and otherwise. And yet there has been great outward 
 prosperity, great internal harmony, great encouragement to the cause. 
 
 The American Tract Society, at Boston, furnished to the missionaries of 
 this State, (selecting those whose situation favored the design,) one hun- 
 dred dollars’ worth of tracts, (150,000 pages,) which have been distributed 
 in those regions where there is the greatest destitution of the stated ordi- 
 nances of the gospel. 
 
 FINANCIAL CONCERNS OF THE SOCIKTT. 
 
 The expenditures of the year, have been about $8000 dollars The 
 treasurer, besides paying the missionaries at the last anni versary, has met 
 calls of the current year, to such an amount, that with the balacne of $800 
 in the treasury, just reported, will meet the liabilities of the Society, want- 
 ing about $3000. This amount, it is hoped, will be received on the present 
 occasion. Though it is more than an average amount of the receipts, at 
 the meetings, for seven years past, yet within that time, there have been 
 one or two instances, when the receipts have been more than this. They 
 were viewed as uncommon occasions. And why is not the present, an 
 uncommon occasion ? There are uncommon cries for help, from every 
 point of the compass; uncommon self-denial and exertion by the destitute, 
 to secure the means of grace ; and through the favor of God, uncommon 
 success in establishing the gospel. And why should there not be, also, an 
 uncommon display of bounty and beneficence, in carrying forward the 
 work of the Lord? All hearts, wedded to the Saviour's cause, will cheer 
 fully unite in the response, yea and amen. 
 
MAINE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 
 
 3.3 
 
 Some have wished that allusions to its past history, may be made a little 
 more in detail. And notwithstanding its course, to many, is plain and fa- 
 miliar as the way to tho sanctuary, yet, as others are less acquainted with 
 its origin and movements, it may be well to remark, though at the hazard 
 of repetition of what may have been submitted on former occasions. 
 
 The Society had its foundation meeting in June, 1807. There were then 
 thirty-two members, nine of whom, only, now survive, residing in the State. 
 This number has been increased, so that it would be difficult now, to tell 
 the thousands. There are about one thousand life-members, the payment 
 for which, in successive years, has brought ,$‘30,000 into the treasury ; and 
 the number of these, is annually increasing. The operations of the So- 
 ciety, at its origin, were necessarily restricted ; only one missionary em- 
 ployed, the first year. And the sixth year, the number had only reached 
 twelve, and the income amounting to about $1000. In the thirteenth year, 
 which was 18‘30, the number of missionaries was twenty-six ; and the in- 
 come increased in proportion. There was a gradual enlargement of opera- 
 tion, till 1833-6, when silver was no more accounted of, than in the days 
 of Solomon, and the income of the Society rose to $10,000, and the num- 
 ber of missionaries, to ninety. The following year, caine the sad rcrersr. 
 Though the Society had no connexion with the speculating mania of the 
 day, and had no possession of “castles built in the air,” yet it could not 
 but feel the shock, as everything else did. One might say, as the ghost 
 did to Hamlet, “ What a falling off was there ! ” The income was dimin- 
 ished at once, fifty per cent, and the missionaries, of course, reduced to 
 half the number. From that time, seven years, the Society has been 
 gradually advancing; so that, the coming year, should there be the same 
 increase as in the two or three years past, the Society will realize again its 
 income of $10,000, with a healthy movement, and stable foundation. This 
 amount, annually increasing, will meet the wants of an extensive and ever 
 extending population. ^ 
 
 The policy of the Society has been, from the beginning, to have their 
 missionaries, in some degree, permanent, or limited to particular stations, 
 in order to forward the settlement of the gospel ministry. Some, indeed, 
 in so extended a field, must be missionaries at large ; but the greater por- 
 tion of them, always have been laboring in prescribed circuits, and in this 
 way, have effected, in many places, the organization of churches, and the 
 settlement of the ministry. Of the two hundred and eleven churches, in 
 the State, one hundred and seventy have been established or aided, at some 
 time, by the Missionary Society ; more than four-fifths of the whole num- 
 ber. And the churches yet to be organized, in the waste places, and in 
 the breakings-in upon the forest, must be formed by the same means, and 
 trained up, if they are trained up at all, in the same way. 
 
 An institution, which, “ by the good hand of God upon it,” has been so 
 
30 
 
 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE 
 
 signally instrumental in enlarging and beautifying Zion, has a just claim 
 to the affections, the treasures, and the cheerful co-operation of the Chris- 
 tian community. 
 
 The prospects of the Society were newer more flattering. Calls are mul- 
 tiplied, the openings auspicious, and the announcement of Providence 
 distinct and urgent, “ Go in and possess the land,” 
 
 Though our field of operation is extensive, it is small, when compared 
 with that of the Parent Institution. That spreads its influence over the 
 whole land, extending its operations to the west, and to the far west. It is 
 matter of rejoicing, to have seen their whole-souled confidence in the 
 Christian public, in sending out from twenty to thirty missionaries at once, 
 to Missouri and Iowa, pledging eight or fen thousand dollars, when there 
 were no funds in their treasury; and it is matter of greater rejoicing still, 
 to have seen that the same Christian public came up, and redeemed their 
 pledge. 
 
 Having done all this, there will be a united influence, in charities, ef- 
 forts, and prayers, to aid the foreign operations, to spread the gospel over 
 the world. And these operations, these efforts and supplications, must be 
 continued and increased, until the light from heaven shall dissipate every 
 dark cloud from the earth; until the Saviour’s last command is fulfilled, 
 “to preach the gospel to every creature;” until the mosque of the Turk, 
 the pagoda of the Indian, the synagogue of the Jew, the cathedral of the 
 papist, the chapel of infidelity, and all temples of idolatry and of error, 
 shall be converted into Christian gatherings, from which, in every part of 
 the earth, and every island of the sea, there shall ascend up clouds of in- 
 cense, of prayer and praise, that shall mingle together, before the throne 
 of heaven ; and the Lord, the Lord God, shall smell a 6weet savor from 
 the universal sacrifice, and command his blessing, even life forevermore
