The two last mentioned boxes, with three others, were wrecked on Cape Hatteras; but were accidentally found by a friend to the cause, and were sent to Charleston, and thence to Savannah, where they were washed, repacked, and sent to Brainerd. One of the boxes appeared to be designed for Elliot; but having been sent to Savannah, it could go to Brainerd only. The letters, which the three other boxes were said to have contained, could not be found; of course, the places, from which they were sent, could not be ascertained. They have probably been acknowledged.

The following box has been committed to the care of Messrs. Dwight and Williams, New Haven. Ct.

The donations acknowledged in our last number, were received from the 19th of Feb. to the 17th of March, inclusive; and not to the 18th.

The 60 dollars published in the number for March, as received from the Fem. Mite Soc. of Savannah, we are requested to say should have been acknowledged as from the Hea. Sch. Society.

REMARKS ON THE BEST MANNER OF PUBLISHING DONATIONS.

At page 89 of the Missionary Herald for March, we proposed to offer some thoughts in a future number, with reference to the best manner of publishing donations. The attention of our readers is now invited, for a few moments, to this subject;-a subject, which, however it may appear at first sight, is in reality of great importance, and continually becoming more important, as the cause of missions is gaining strength, and its active friends are becoming a great multitude.

It is obvious, that the only question ought to be, In what manner should donations be published, in order most effectually to serve the cause for which they are given? Any in crease of labor, or care, attending one manner of publishing rather than another, is of small consideration, if compared with giving the most satisfaction to the greatest number of readers and contributors. That such satisfaction may be given, the following points, if we mistake not, are to be secured as far as possible.

nors,

1. The monthly list of donations should be a perfect voucher for all monies actually received at the Treasury, not only to the dobut to the public at large. This it has hitherto been. The magazines published by the principal Missionary Societies in Great Britain, do not profess to contain a complete list of donations. One of those magazines does not acknowledge any donation under five pounds sterling, unless it be from an unknown person; and another compresses the list into a page, or half a page, though the average monthly receipts surpass ten thousand dol lars. All the donations to these societies are acknowledged, however, in their annual reports.

[ocr errors]

2. Donations should be published with so much particularity, as to attract some notice, and excite some interest, with respect to the various instances of liberality thus recorded. By seeing what others have done, and are doing, men easily learn what they can do themselves, and what they ought to do. Nothing stimulates a good man, in a course of 68 00 duty, like a good example. Nor does this re

10 00

sult, in the case before us, from the power of sympathy alone. Without some medium of communication, donors in different parts of the country could not know that they were acting in concert; and, of course, each one could not know whether his own contribution might not be unavailing, for want of other contributions to be joined with it.

3. The description of donations should be made with as much brevity, as will consist S 84 with obtaining the abovementioned objects.

All unnecessary repetitions should be avoided. No more words should be used, than are requisite to identify each donation; unless, in peculiar circumstances, a more particular description would answer a valuable purpose, by way of example. It is to be remembered, that there is always an abundance of matter, relative to the concerns of the Board, pressing for admission; and that numerous foreign articles, of great interest, are continually presenting themselves. By a judicious abridg ment, and a classification of monies remitted by agents, it is apprehended that contributors may be satisfied, while a moderate space is allotted to the monthly list. Our meaning will be best expiained by one or two instances.

The following donation was acknowledged, in our April number, p. 87: "Northampton, Ms. From the cultivators of missionary fields, through the Hampshire Christian Depository, $253:12:" This acknowledgment occupied only three short lines of a column; while it is probable, that a particular description of the various items, which made so respectable an aggregate, would have filled a column, or a page. The effect of the acknowledgment would have been weakened, so far as the mass of readers are concerned, by spreading it over a larger compass. As it now stands, the publication is a perfect voucher to every individual contributor, because every contributor knows the keeper of the Depository, and can see at any time that his own contribution made a part of the sum. There are few of our readers, we believe, who would not regret, that any part of the letter from the Sandwich Islands, or the account of Mrs. Poor, should have been omitted, to make room for a more particular account of donations than was there published.

It seems necessary, that when there is but one donation from a town, or place, however small that donation may be, it should be published distinctly. But there will probably be many eases, in which twenty or fifty small sums are contributed by as many individuals of the same place, through the agency of some active friend. When such cases exist, it ap pears to us desirable, generally speaking, that the aggregate should be published, rather than the particulars. The general acknowledgment can be made a perfect voucher to every contributor, by preserving a copy of the different items, in the hands of the active friend by whom the money was forwarded, or of the clergyman, or any other principal person of the place.

Room may also be saved by the use of abbreviations. Thus, as the produce of missionary fields is becoming a prominent part of the receipts, if the letters m. f. are used to designate the avails of land cultivated for missionary uses, whether in the field, or the garden, they will answer every necessary pur pose; the particular circumstances of the cultivation being immaterial. Other similar abbreviations can be adopted, as the occasion for them is presented. Agents, and others who make remittances, by bearing this subject in mind, may lend their aid in rendering the list as complete as possible, with respect to precision and brevity.

Perhaps it may be thought, the size of the Missionary Herald might be advantageously increased. But to this measure there are several very serious objections, which we have not room to state. To one of these, however, we would allude, as it will not readily occur to our readers; and that is, the crowded state of the mails, which renders it extremely difficult to send off the monthly numbers, in season to meet the wishes of many of our subseribers. Any addition to the size of the work would make a proportionate addition to this difficulty. After much deliberation on the subject, and considerable experience, we are of opinion, that the size and form of the work, an the time of its publication, are better suited to accomplish its design, than any of the various alterations which have ever been proposed.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

LETTER FROM THE BARON DE CAMPAGNE.

Pfefficon, in the vicinity of Zurich. July 2, 1821. In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in whom is found the centre of all perfection, to which his boundless grace has condescended to call us, and to which, sooner or later, all mankind will come: salutation to the dear and much honored friends:

The Rev. WILLIAM JENKS,

JER. EVARTS, Esq. Treasurer of the A. B. C. F. M. and, Mr. HEMAN DAGGETT, Principal of the For. Miss. School.

ACCEPT, I pray you, my humble and very sincere thanks for the agreeable letters, with which you have honored us. You have well judged, that we should receive with lively gratitude, through your kindness, the flatter. ing hopes contained in the letters of the young Indians. May the God of all mercy grant, that blessings without number may rest on all you do, to aid the salvation of the neighboring tribes, who have as yet no knowledge of the divine grace in Jesus Christ. The God of love, who has informed us by his faithful apostle, that it was his holy will "to conclude all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all;" this God, I repeat, will bestow his grace in such manner, that the heathen on all sides shall cry out with us: "O the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever."

I have been sensibly affected with the unexpected intelligence of the death of young Obookiah, in whose welfare I took a peculiar interest, especially on account of that goodness of heart, which appeared to adorn him. But we must adore the will of the Lord, whose ways are high above our ways, as the heavens are high above the earth. He condescends indeed, to stoop to us, in blessing the labors of feeble mortals, who are hoping in allhumility, to be the instruments, by which his grace deigns to work.
