Any communication or remittance for the Treasurer left at Mr. Armstrong's bookstore, Boston, will be carefully delivered. On comparing the receipts of the Society the last year with those of several years preceding, it will be found that the liberality of Christians is not exhausted, but increasing. It was feared by some persons, that the great interest taken in Foreign Missions would diminish the contributions to the various Domestic Missionary Societies. We think they did not reason well. It may be safely predicted, that if the animated support of Foreign Missions should continue in this country, an increased support of Domestic Missions will also continue. That both kinds of missions may, by the Divine blessing, accomplish the great objects for which they are instituted, the sanctification and salvation of perishing sinners, is the unceasing prayer of all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
