M. of £150, which he has much pleasure in appropriating in accordance with K. F. M.'s request To the Baptist Missionary Society To the Bible Translation Society £100 20 Mr. Angus begs to acknowledge the receipt from "Onward," of twenty pounds, to be appropriated to the purchase and distribution of New Testaments in Vienna, Rome, Paris, and Brittany. He will at once arrange for the distribution of five pounds' worth at Vienna and in Brittany respectively, under the superintendence of Mr. Oncken and of Mr. Jenkins. Similar arrangements will be made at Paris and Rome as soon as some friend can be found to whom the work of distribution may be entrusted. "Onward" affectingly appeals to the principle so well recognized by the founders of our Mission-Expect great things and attempt great things—and asks why we are not carrying out that principle on the continent. Openings abound on every hand, and we can but repeat the question, and pass it on to our friends -Why are we not expecting much and attempting much in Europe? "Onward's" gift is the more cheering as he is himself suffering from the changes which he hails as so favourable for the diffusion of truth. It is respectfully requested that where it is practicable the friends in the country ordering Missionary Cards, &c., would at the same time kindly mention the name of a country bookseller, and his London agent, through whom the parcels may be sent, or such other mode of transmission as may most economise the Funds of the Society.
