AMERICAN AND FOREIGN CHRISTIAN UNION.

REV. DR. WILLIAMS’ SERMON.

The Sermon before the Society was preached this year by the Rev. W . R. Williams, D. D. of the Baptist Church, on the Sabbath evening, (May 4th,) immediately preceding the Annual Meeting. It was an able and elo­quent discourse; and thotfgh its delivery required more than an hour and a half, it was heard to the end with marked and delighted attention. Never have we heard a sermon that was better adapted to the occasion, or one that was clothed in more appropriate and beautiful language. The Board, on the day following, passed a unanimous vote o f thanks to the preacher, and re­quested that he would repeat it in this city and elsewhere, and then furnish them with a copy for publication. It merits a very wide circulation. The synopsis of it which we subjoin is taken from the Tribune, and Evangelist, and is by far the best which we have seen. It gives, however, but an imper­fect idea of the riches o f the discourse— of its powerful argument, its his­torical research, and its great purity and beauty o f style, so eminently classical.

The subject of the Rev. W. R. Williams’ discourse was “ The Spirit’s presence a pledge of Victory,” and the text was taken from parts of the 6th and 7th verses of the 4th chapter of Zachariah, as follows:

« Not by might, nor by power, bat by my Spirit, saith the L o r d o f Hosts. W ho art thou, O great mountain t Before Zerabbabel thou ahalt become a plain.”

If Rome has been this year true to her ancient usages, it is but two brief weeks since the Cathedral of St. Peter, the most magnificent of Christian sanctuaries, witnessed the most imposing ceremonial of her gorgeous ritual. On Easter Sunday, the greatest festival of her ecclesiastical year, the Pope is accustomed to pronounce from the lofty balcony surmounting the main entrance to St Peter’s, his benediction on the kneeling thousands—the residents of the city, the Pontifical .soldiery and the strangers, the pilgrims of religion or of curiosity, or art; travelers from Europe and

4 T H E A N If U A L S E R M O N .

America, who are congregated in the vast area before that majestic structure. As he ceases to speak, trumpets and drums take up their burden of gratulation, the bells of the great Cathedral send forth their peals of joyous clangor, and the cannon of St. Angelo announce to the earth that it has been blessed of Heaven’s Vicegerent. And if the Pope of Rome be indeed the Head of the Church—if he fill, indeed, the seat, and wear the seal of earth's Redeemer, it is glad tidings to the nations that they have thus, together with Rome, received his potent invocation of the Divine fa­vor, and his assurance of Divine guardianship.

The Society whose Anniversary we commemorate dares to dispute the claims of that Church as a most irreverent usurpation. We hear in her imposing utterances hut the voice of Antichrist, who with a mouth speaking great things, and, “ as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The Eternal and Imperial City herself, if not kept down by foreign bayonets, would to-day reject that benediction as a malediction.

But we are pointed to the wide sway of Romanism, and told that the Reforma­tion is a wave that has spent itself, and that the facts and omens are all in favor of the One Church, unchanging and infallible—the Cburch of Rome. We do not stand up to defend all that calls itself Protestantism. If any such deny the essential dei­ty or true atonement of C h rist, we reject them. We hold the inspiration of Scrip­ture as firmly as did Rome in her best days. We hold the doctrine of divine autho­rity in religion more stubbornly and more purely than Rome; for she aljows controll­ing power to man—man in synods or councils, man on the Papal throne—which we ascribe to God alone. The eye in recognising the sunbeam, does not make the sun­beam ; neither does the human mind, in accepting the truth, make or establish that truth. We allow that fallen reason needs a Divine Guide. This guide Rome finds in Peter’s successors; we go to Peter’s Master. Let Rome resort to the voice of flesh and blood; we resort to the Eather, yet living and able to teach us all tilings.

Romanism is a visible church, and is bound to preserve that claim and character. Protestantism is not a visible church at all. Many Protestants recognise no visible church beyond a single worshipping congregation. We admit the one catholic church of C h rist ; but that is invisible: of every age, it matters not of what nation, or of what denomination—the wheat of all our chaff, and, we add to the devout Romanist, the wheat of all your chaff. Having considered the true state of the field, and the ageneies on which the result is to depend, the question between Protestantism and Romanism is narrowed down to this: Which one of the opposing systems is most sure of enjoying the aid and presence of the Spirit of God ? That Rome is not fitted to enjoy this aid may be seen from several considerations.

1. God’s Spirit is not likely to separate Himself from His own Word. Yet, of 150 versions of the word pf G od, how few have come from Rome, and how resolutely has Rome curtailed and repressed the circulation of God’s word ? We know how fatally men may pervert Scripture. But so do they pervert speech, and light, and reason, and life. Shall these, therefore, be given up ? The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God ; and yet, to avoid the dangers of a misuse of that heavenly wea­pon, Rome would have all the hosts of God at once disarm themselves. If Christ had put himself under sacerdotal care, would Annas and Caiaphas have given forth the Sermon on the Mount ? That he spoke openly in the ears of the people is con­clusive proof of the freedom of his word. The Almighty Spirit was the Creator of the natural world, and He is the renovator of the moral world.

T H E A N N U A L S E R M O N . 52. Another consideration is liberty. Where the Spirit of the Loed is, there is li­

berty. We allow it is primarily spiritual freedom—liberty of soul. But we main­tain that it includes, in general, personal freedom. Wherever there is a whole'commu- nity enjoying freedom of soul, there is also the freedom of law and of life, of individual action, and of searching the Scriptures. But Rome has ever been the pa­tron of despotism in every form, and in every land where her influence is extended. She established the Inquisition; she flattered the Bourbons of France and Spain to overthrow the liberty of their subjects; she denounces the Liberty of the Press and the Liberty of Conscience. The immediate predecessor of the reigning pontiff most strenuously denounoed the Liberty of the Press, the Liberty of Conscience, and the Liberty of Opinion. This petrifaction of despotism cannot lead to the self-emanci­pation of Europe. The Declaration of Independence cannot be submitted to the keeping or the interpretation of Rome. If where the Spirit of the L ord is there is liberty, are we likely to find the Spirit of the L oed permanently to work where there is no liberty ?

3. Another test of the presence of the Spirit of the L ord is holiness. Rome claims to be holy. But look at her influence in the dark ages, and see what Rome has to do with holiness. In idolatry, that sin which G od especially denounces and abhors, how have her temptations and witcheries, and provocations, abounded! Even the statues of old Paganism have been retained, with but a change of name. The very image which the old Roman kissed as Jupiter, the modern Roman kisses with like faith and similar rite as the representative of Peter. The Syrian Ashtaroth gave place to the Grecian Venus, and the Grecian Venus yields her honors and pre­rogatives to the Virgin Mary, or Mary Magdalen. And if one could see gathered as Heaven sees them, all the delusions of hope misplaced, all the miseries of souls deceived and destroyed, in connection with such practices, and such rites, and such creeds, would not each pilaster and statue of the edifice seem to drop with the blood of betrayed souls; and would not the curse of the Second Death seem rising before us to becloud and encrust each masterpiece of Raphael's pencil, or Michael Angelo’s art ? The beauty of art may be there, but not the beauty of holiness. Holiness! Would you seek it there ? Look abroad ! Contrast the morals of Protestant Scot­land and England with those of Catholic Italy, and Spain, and France, and then ask if Rome’s holiness is likely to procure for her the protection—the aid of the H o l t S p ir it .

4. Another criterion of the presence of the Spirit of God is found in the answer to this question: Is it a religion of money ? Are its privileges to be bought ? Does it traffic in what it calls salvation? We use money to advance the kingdom of C hrist, but we do not sell the gifts of G od. Rome has shamelessly done it Evan­gelical religion teaches a valuation that is all of grace. Rome sells hopes for the living and peace for the dead, for money, according to an established tariff of prices. Will the Spirit of G od alight on the banner of Simony ?

He charged it upon Rome that she has been the great patron author of skepticism in Europe. Infidelity even occupies the pulpits of Rome, in Spanish America and elsewhere.

After briefly contrasting the results of Protestant and Papal Missions, the preach­er touched on the question whether Protestantism is declining in countries once and

6 T H B A N N U A L M E E T I N G

long Protestant. He contrasted the condition and prospects of Popery in England under the restored Stuarts; enumerating the Drydens,and Christines,and the Turen- nes, among the converts from Protestantism. Then was the day of hope for Rome. But History wrote the issue. Does she hope to prevail on the Anglo-Saxon race to surrender all their literature, all their heroes, all their political institutions, to take Dominic for Howard, and exchange a Cromwell for an Alexander ? He spoke of the Tractarian movement in England as having originated perhaps in the increased zeal of some high churchmen. But granting it ten-fold more extent and power than it has achieved, let it involve the whole mass of the nobility, it can never move the masses of the Anglo-Saxon race. Should Queen Victoria come under its influence, imitate even the tyranny of the bloody Mary, she would only become, like James II, the last sovereign of her race. Shall we tremble for our own country? Why did not Rome hold this continent when she had her hands upon it in the palmy days of Fnufte and Spain? But it is said that though the Anglo-Saxons and the Teutonic races may be and remain Protestants, that the Celtic races are and will remain Ca­tholic. But where are there better Protestants than the Celts of Wales, and the Celtic descendants of the grim Covenanters of Scotland ? The Galatians to whom Paul wrote his epistles were Celts, and they were not Romanists, f God’s Spirit cannot be with Pontifical Rome. Should she cany every cabinet and every college in Europe, we fall back upon the Spirit of God, and say with the prophet: “ Not by your numbers, not by your armies, not by your literature, not by might or by power, but by my Spirit, saith the L okd. Who art thou ? O great mountain, before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain”

The Second Annua] Meeting o f the Society was held in the Broadway Tabernacle, May 6th, at ten o’clock, A.M. and was well attended. A large number o f ministers o f the Gospel and other®friends, o f various deno­minations, were present, and greatly interested in the proceedings.

Hie President, the Eev. Thomas De Witt, D. D. was in the chair, and the^neeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. John Chambers, o f Phila­delphia, and the singing o f the 117th Psalm.

The Corresponding Secretary then read the Annual Report o f the Board, which the reader will find subjoined to the proceedings of the Annual Meeting. The usual motion to accept the reports, and refer them to the Board for publication, was made by the Rev. R. S. Crampton, o f Rochester, New-York.

The Rev. Dr. Hague, o f the Baptist Church, Newark, New Jersey, pro­posed the following resolution:

“ Resolved, That the American and Foreign Christian Union, in regard to the ob­jects which it proposes to accomplish, its modes of action, and the wants of the times, forcibly commends itself to the favor and cooperation of all the friends of evangelical religion.”

That resolution, Dr. H. remarked, was suggested by a fact like this. An intelligent man, a German, a Lutheran, and a rationalist, was overheard ask­ing who compose the American and Foreign Christian Union. Is it a union o f Presbyterians 1 No. Is it a union of Baptists and Methodists ? No. Is it a union o f all who are opposed to the Roman Catholic Church ? N o; it is not a union of any one of these denominations especially, nor yet o f all who are opposed to the Papal Church— for many oppose that Church who are not cooperating with this Society.

Who then are the friends and supporters of this Society ? The answer was, the friends of evangelical religion. And who are they ? Are they Methodists ? The German took his definition of evangelical denominations probably from Sydney Smith, whose works were in his course of reading.

That conversation suggested the proposition in the resolution, and it may be briefly said the friends of this Society are the friends o f evangelical reli­gion, and they are the enemies o f every false and corrupt religion, whatever may be its name.

The term “ evangelical religion,” used in the resolution, is but a modem form to express an ancient idea, such as Paul had when he spoke o f “ our Gospel,” and “ the faith once delivered to the saints.” It is a system which is dear to all who feel the love of Christ in their hearts. Some are per­plexed by the term “ evangelical religion,” as if it were a mere vagary o f the fancy; but reflection will show any one that a mere vagary could not be such a spring of action as this has proved itself.

It is a principle -which breathed itself into the writings o f the Quaker Gur­ney, and his sister, Mrs. F r y ; into the heart o f Thomas Scott, o f the Epis­copal Church, whose writings are more read out of his own church than in it ; into Wilberforce, Chalmers, D ’Aubigné, Knapp, Schmucker, Dwight, Robert Newton, John Sommerñeld, Pascal, the Moravians, Bunyan, Bed- dome, fetennett, and Andrew Fuller. Wherever it exists it forms a tie which is stronger than any mere denominational bond, and led the learned Dr. Owen to reply to His Majesty, who said to him: “ Dr. Owen, I wonder that you can be willing to go to a bam to hear a tinker preach!” (alluding to John Bunyan.) “ May it please your Majesty, could I but preach like the tinker, I would be willing to renounce all my learning.”

This tie o f --fellow-feeling led Tillotson, afterwards Archbishop o f Canter­bury, to visit John Goswell, an humble Baptist preacher; and Robert Hall to love communion with some of the poorest but most pious souls in Eng­land— so poor that, in order not to burden them, he was accustomed to take his tea with him in his pocket.

How shall we define evangelical religion ? I will answer, sift out all the errors o f Rationalistic religion on the one hand, and what may be called Sa­cramental religion on the other, and what is left will be the evangelical re­ligion o f the New Testament.

By a rationalistic religion I mean one which a man draws from himself. When a revelation is made, it is the province o f reason to sit at her feet, and listen to testimony which cannot be drawn from any o f the institu­tions o f reason, or any of her mere deductions. But rationalism leaves the place o f the learner, and arrogantly assumes to teach G od.

H ere are two distinct classes o f propositions in the New Testament. The one appeals to reason, and embraces the maxims o f intuition; the other embraces testimony, over which the intuition has no more cognizance than o f facts now transpiring in China. If a man should say to me, two and two make four, I would say, I believe that; not because you said it, but because I knew it before. This is the very position which rationalism assumes.

It is very dear that men who hold these views can have no sympathy, with us.

But I have mentioned sacramental religion. The L ord J bbus Cheist instituted two sacraments—-Baptism and the Loan’s Supper. They were simple, and meant to be as symbols, shadowing forth the great facte at the foundation o f the Gospel. In time, however, men began to esteem them as the media through which supernatural grace was infused into the soul; and men were led to trust in the form rather than in the power—in the shadow rather than in the substance; in the water, the bread and the wine, rather than in the atonement which C hrist had made in his death. And when this be-

Hr

T H X A r a U A X M E E T 1 * 0 . 9

came the energy of the church, that church began to crush humanity, and darken and destroy souls.

But evangelical religion teaches the soul polluted with sin, and con­demned to death, to look away from all these things to Christ himself, as the Redeemer, and the only Redeemer.

W e know very well that all men must have some religion. There is ra­tionalistic religion, which derives all its teachings from reason; there is sacramental religion, which, whether it bears the Papal or Protestant impress, trusts altogether in the form ; and he who adopts either of these turns away from Ch r ist .

Dr. H. then satisfactorily showed that this organization is necessary, and that it is better adapted to accomplish its object than through mere deno­minational organizations.

His remarks were listened to with great pleasure.Rev. Dr. Chambers, with some forcible and large-hearted remarks, se­

conded the resolution. He saw the words Christ and him crucified stamped on this Society, and he pledged his influence and cooperation to aid in ac­complishing its designs. He desired to take away every false idea as asso­ciated with masses, sacraments, candles, &c. and to take souls from under the power of the priesthood teaching such things, and place them under the influence o f such minds as Paul.

The Rev. Mr. Welch, o f the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a Mis­sionary of the Society, submitted the following resolution:

“ Resolved, That the enlargement of the Society’s Domestic Operations, and the success that has attended its labors in this department during the last year, are grati­fying evidences of the Divine favor resting upon it, which call for devout gratitude on the part of all its friends.”

Placing his hand on the Bible, said he— I am an Irishman, and I never saw that blessed book until I was nineteen years old. I was born, baptized and educated in the Catholic Church, and remained in it until I was thirty- three years o ld ; and now it is my desire to lead others to the same light which cheers my heart. The Bible has been more opposed than any other book, yet it is now spreading with the velocity o f lightning.

As a missionary in Philadelphia, he once left a Testament with a poor woman; but her priest coming in shortly after, took it from her. Some weeks after, Mr. W . again called, and inquired about the book; and learn­ing its fate, wrote his name in another one, and said: “ Here, I will lend you this book, and if the priest takes this away, I will call on him for the pay.” On this condition he distributed several Testaments, writing his own name in them, and lending them.

A servant girl was in a family where he stayed, and he tried to induce her to take a Testament, but she refused, saying that Protestants did not

10 T H E A N N U A L M E E T I N G .

have the Bible correct. “ In what is it incorrect?” “ It says nothing about the Virgin Mary.” “ Yes, it does;” and Mr. W . read the first chapter of Luke. Said she, “ That is a C&tholic Testament.” Mr. W . settled the mat­ter by handing her the Testament, and telling her to carry it to the priest, and ask him about the matter. In a short time she came back, but he could not get a word from her. “ Ah,” says he, “ I know how it is ; the priest has locked up your mouth, and won’t let you speak to me.” And it was even s o ; and in a very short time, at the order o f the priest, she left the family entirely.

Mr. W . related other thrilling incidents, which we cannot sketch. His address produced a happy impression on the audience.

Dr. Kennaday, o f the Methodist Episcopal Church, seconded the reso­lution without remark.

Hie congregation then united in singing, to Old Hundred, the Hymn—

“ Let everlasting glories crown “ Thy head, my S aviour and my L ord,” & c.

The Rev. R. S. Storrs, Jim. o f the Congregational Church, Brooklyn, then read the following resolutions :

“ Resolved, That American Christians are specially called to oppose Romanism, as involving a system of religious doctrine, profound and comprehensive, yet tho­roughly erroneous.

“ Resolved, That the present condition of the Papal countries of Europe, and of our own hemisphere, socially and religiously considered, and the facilities of diffusing Evangelical Truth among them, are indications highly favorable to future success, and should animate the zeal, encourage the hearts, and greatly augment the exertions of American Christians in their behalf.”

Mr. Storrs remarked that Dr. Hague’s course of thought fell in with his own convictions, which are becoming more and more extensively considered, as the com­munity is aroused to feel on the subjects associated with Christianity. The gentle­man, (Dr. H.) had alluded to what he was pleased to call a Sacramental religion, consisting in forms and ceremonies. It is against this system in particular that we are called to contend, a system which has gradually brought the millions of its ad­vocates under the control of the priests, who in their turn are controlled by a hie­rarchy, and this is controlled by one mind, so that its levers and springs move with surprising ease, accuracy, and strength.

And yet when we examine its character and review its history, when we look at its aim and the energy put forth to realize that aim, we wonder that the very hills of this country, wet with the blood of the Revolution, and the spirit of liberty inherited from our forefathers, do not rise to repel such a system in its attempts on us. We would suppose that a country with such fathers and such institutions would rise and resist, but this is not our way. We do things after a.different fashion.

We have been too prone to consider this system against which we contend, as one altogether made up of superstitious doctrines and rites, which we might easily

T H E A N N U A L M E E T I N G . 1 1

put down. That there is something in it to fascinate, is evident from the defections which have taken place in the English and American Episcopal churches. We must declare that as a system it is comprehensive and symmetric, but untrue, and unscrip, tural, This is a fair though brief statement.

The Romish system may be thus analyzed. It takes for granted, that in the fall Adam lost certain supernatural powers which he derived from his Creator, and that the object of the Divinity incarnate, was to infuse into the soul those powers and influences whieh he had lost in the fall. The S aviour gave this power to the apostles, and they handed it down to their rightful successors, so that all embraced in the Church thus favored, would in a supernatural way, altogether aside from their own agency, receive that restorative power which would make them as though they had not been fallen beings. The grace which produces such wonders must come through Hub channel, and can come in no other.

This is the genuine system of Popery, and from this will be found to spring all their doctrines. This infuses itself into every doctrine qpd rite of the Church. It is like the Alleghanies; there is a main range, and every spur and lesser range is but a part of the same great chain. Thus their doctrine of the Eucharist is changed from a mere symbol into the barbaric rite of eating the real body of Christ, and drinking the real blood of Christ. It becomes the organized communication of in­fusing of itself supernatural grg.ce into every participant. The same is true of the doctrine that out of the Church there is no salvation. If there is but one channel of communicating supernatural grace into the heart, then of course, he who does not receive this must be lost.

We see the same in their notion of baptism. A Protestant minister who is about to baptize a child—here Dr. S. gracefully begged pardon of his Baptist brother, Dr.H. but amusingly asseverated his own belief and practice of that rite, and said he baptized last Sabbath six charming children in his own church—he comes as one who does not administer the rite as though it were a saving rite, but as remembering the covenant of God with his cliildren, and as depending not only on G od’s Spirit, but on the effects of a proper training, according to God’s own appointment

Mr. S. here went into a beautiful analysis of the way in which a Romanist priest administers the rite of infant baptism. He is clothed in a particular robe; he puts dust and spittal on the child's ear, salt on his tongue, &c. &c. To us these may seem absurd, but to one educated into the main doctrine already described, they are alike beautiful and imposing. This and other illustrations serve to show how this system takes man, throwing the light of its main doctrine on his fall, illuminates the history of the race, and projects its light even into the future world.

As for defections to Rome, we must not regard all as weak or wicked, or both, who go there. Strong and earnest minds, minds in love with the beautiful in poesy, may go there in the hope of meeting Christ more nearly. This may almost be asserted as a fact. Therefore, in contending with this system, we must show that it is entirely theory—that it has no life. Christ pronounced the condemnation of this theory, which depends so much on outward rites and show, when he said, “ Bless* ed are they which have not seen, and yet have believed.” We must show wherein it is weak, and wherein it has ruined those who have come under its power; that while in former ages it has done some valuable things, it is false and unreal We must show to the world Spain, once so chivalrous, learned, poetical, and rich, and

12 T H E A N N U A L M E E T I N G .

Spain now; we must show France, which has been in her hands a thousand yearn, yet now a nation without a religion.

In conclusion, we must pray down this system by going to God. Its end draw- eth nigh. Not long since, in looking at that great painting, the Martyrdom of Huss I was struck with the evident discontent of the peasantry, and with the light which seemed breaking in upon the martyr from the clouds. It seemed as if the smile of G od were beaming light on him. This is a figure of facts. There is a growing dis­content in the minds of the people, and increasing evidence of God’s blessing and smile on all the attempts to enlighten them. The end draweth nigh, and oh, how much joy that thought gives!

We can give but a naked abstract of this admirable speech.Dr. .Eddy, of Newark, seconded the resolution without remark. ,Rev. Mr. Pilatte, from Paris, was presented to the audience as the delegate from

the Evangelical Society, and greatly interested the audience for some length of time. The only thing he could*find fault with in the brother’s speech was its being too short Mr. P. expressed the salutations of the Society in Paris to this Society, and sad he felt the deepest interest in this country. There were some things which had caused fears for our safety, and could he but address them in French, he could tell them how important for this reason he considered the enterprise of evangelizing the Papal world. He felt as the convicted priest who did not know whether to give himself to Christ or to the Virgin Mary, and so deep were his feelings on the sub­ject of Popery, that he hardly knew which he desired the more, the destruction of Popery here or in his own country. Mr. P. went into an analysis of the theory of Romanism, which was the more interesting from his language being somewhat broken. The theory of the Greek philosophers was beautiful, b\it we must leave the academy and grove and go down among the masses. In their degradation and vice we shall find that theory translated into living facts, which are the best condem­nation of theory itself. So with that theory which my brother Storrs had so beau­tifully analyzed. Leave the cathedral and the rites and come down among the people. See what it has made my own nation. It has left us without a religion.

Mr. P. went into a very amusing account of the way of making Catholic priests in France, and put the audience in a great roar of laughter, by showing up the means by which they come to Appear so learned and ready. Shut up in their seminaries, with a routine of questions, with answers in the language of Augustine, Chrysostom, or some father, which answers are learned by heart, and used whenever occasion required, and with great volubility. The lesson was learned as a parrot is taught!

If Mr. P. understood this matter, our true policy is to attack vigorously this system. He gave a striking anecdote of a European officer leading his men to attack a place from which there was no escape. Pointing to the enemy, said the officer, “ Do you see tibose men? If you don’t kill them, they will kill you!” If we do not overcome this system, it will overcome us.

We are sorry to curtail the entertaining remarks of this speaker, but want of room compels us.

Rev. Mr. Kirk, of Boston, said that he had been invited some weeks ago to address this meeting, but he had refused because he was to go to Milwaukee to dedicate a church; and he supposed, as it was some twelve hundred miles away, that it would be impossible for him to attend any of these Anniversaries, and y«t be in Milwaukie.

Next Thursday I expect to be there, and yet I am told I can easily accomplish t! e object, and Bpend to-day (Tuesday) in New-York city! Popery must go down in such an age as this, when we can travel at this rate, and when thought travels so fast And when I see what is doing, and what facilities we have to do with, although not as old as Simeon, I feel that mine eyes have seen the L ord’s salvation.

He found various classes in the community, from whom this Society could not expect sympathy: the lover of money, the politician, the nominal Christian, so cha­ritable as to call you “ so bigoted” if you cry out against idolatry, whieh puts a creature in the place of G od, and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Mr. K. made an amusing allusion to the unchangeable character of Rome. It had been so caged in England that people forgot its sharp claws, but now of late, its grasp is becoming unpleasant, and Lord John Russell cries out “ Stop, you are pinch­ing too hard!”

Our hope in this work is found in imitating the Apostles and early Christians. They went to individual men, and told them, You are sinners, here is a S aviour offered to you personally. They realized what the individual man was, and brought from his immortality every possible motive to incite him to action. They endeavored to take each poor sinner to Christ, and thus made it an individual matter. So long as they did this, Christianity rapidly spread; but when they lost sight of this, there was the greatest retrocession, and the dark ages—the ages of Church and State policy—came on. To-day this Society is called on, not to attack the Pope as the head of this vast Church, but to bear the truth to individuals, just, as the Apostles and early Christians—to bring one by one from the dominion of error, into the liberty of Christ.

Mr. K. said there were two great elements in which we are lacking. The first he had already alluded to. We do not appreciate the value of individual salvation; and in the second place, we do not appreciate the snares and obstacles which beset the poor souls in the Papal Church. But we must imitate John the Baptist Point* ing to Christ, we must tell each soul to look, and believe, and live.

It was one of Mr. K.’s happiest efforts, in which his sympathies had fine play, and coming so unexpected as it did, his address added great interest to this important meeting.

At the call o f the President, the Society came together, and elected the ten members o f the Board who constitute the fourth, class, or those who are to serve for the term of four years. A few changes were also made in the Constitution, at the recommendation o f the Board— the most important of which was the increase o f the Board from thirty-two to forty members, o f whom twenty-four must reside in or near New-York. On account o f these changes we republish the Constitution, giving it as it now stands. The So­ciety then adjourned, to meet at the same place at ten o'clock o f the Tues­day preceding the second Thursday of May, 1852.

The Board met on the Friday succeeding, at four P. M. and elected the President, Vioe*Pre8idents, and other officers of-the Society, and filled some

14 O F F I C E R S O F T H I S O C I E T Y .

vacancies in their own number. The following is the list o f the Board er Officers, as constituted by the elections just referred to :

A N N U A L R E P O R T .

The second year of this Society’s existence has passed away ; and its friends, as well as the religious public in general, expect the usual annual re­cord of its proceedings. That record must of necessity to be brie£

The past year has been one of sorrow and of trial in no ordinary de­gree. Without invading the precincts of private grief, it is our duty to speak o f a loss which most intimately affects the Society, and even the Christian community at large. On the 20th o f November last, the Rev. Herman Norton, the Corresponding Secretary for the Home Department, was taken away from us, after the brief sickness o f a few days.

Mr. Norton’s health had long been delicate, and the Board had, at its last meeting preceding his death, resolved to send him to the South, and al­low him to take up his residence in a more genial climate, and act as Dis­trict Secretary for that important section of our country. In that field his mild and winning manner#, his unfeigned and devoted piety, and his un tiring zeal in behalf o f the Cause, could not have failed to secure the sympar thy and support o f very many among its warm-hearted and active followers o f Christ. But his work was done, and he has been removed from us. Our loss is his gain! He had been the faithful and laborious Corres­ponding Secretary o f the American Protestant Society for years before the union, and he had exerted himself to the utmost of his strength in behalf o f the A m erican and F oreign Chr istian U nion , as one o f its Secretaries, for a year and a half, when it pleased the Master to remove him from the scenes of his toils and of his sufferings, to the employments and enjoyments wbich are reserved for the redeemed in the heavenly state. Glory to him, but grief to us !

The Society has also lost one o f its honored Vice-Presidents during the last year— the Rev. Dr. Cuyler, o f Philadelphia. Dr. C. was emphatically a good man, and took a lively interest in all that concerns the kingdom o f C hrist .

But the Board feel that the death o f friends, and even the certainty o f their own at no very distant day, should be a motive for increased and joy­ful activity in the work in which they are engaged, and not of depression-and discouragement; and they would apply to .the friends o f this Institution, as well as to themselves, the eloquent exhortation with which the great apos­tle to the Gentiles closes his sublime discourse on this solemn, yet glorious subject: “ Therefore, beloved brethren, be ye stedfast̂ immovable, always abounding in ike work o f the L ord ; forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the L ord.” (2 Cor. 15 : 58.)

a

1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T .

But the last year was one o f trial as well as o f sorrow. In addition to the long continued ill-health, and ultimately the death, o f one of the Secre­taries, more embarrassment was experienced than was expected in managing and disposing of the responsibilities which were assumed at the union, and which had been occasioned by the condition in which one of the united so­cieties was at the time of the union. It was a further augmentation of the difficulties of the Board, that the esteemed Treasurer of the Society, Morti­mer De Motte, Esq. was compelled, by the health of his wife, to give up his official trust, and journey into foreign lands, whence he has not yet returned.

But through these trials G od has, in His great goodness, carried the Board, and enables them to-day to say,with devout gratitude: “ Hitherto the L ord hath helped us / ” They esteem it a circumstance eminently fortu- tunate, that they had in their service a man who was more than usually qua­lified to take charge o f the department which had been rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Norton. They lost no time, therefore, in securing for the Home Department the services of the Rev. E. R. Fairchild, D. D. who had been laboring for several months as District Secretary and General Agent in the middle States, and added to it the duties o f Financial Secretary. Dr. F.’s long experience in the labors of such a post; his untiring industry, his rigid adherence to sj-stem and order in his official work, his extensive ae* quaintance with the country and with men, his good judgment, and his ex­cellent business habits, formed a rare assemblage o f qualifications for the important post which was to be filled. He has entered upon his offi­cial duties; and already the very happy influence which he exerts has be­come everywhere perceptible, although he has but just made a beginning in his work.

And as to the embarrassments to which allusion has just been made, the Board are happy to announce that there is every reasonable prospect that in the course o f a few months they will all be entirely removed, and the Society placed in a state of prosperity, such as will be most cheering to its friends.

Adversity is salutary, under the Divine government, to Societies as well as to individuals. The Board have found it to be so. It has led to a great change in the operations o f this Society during the year which is just closed, and will lead to even greater. The most rigid economy has been introduced into every department o f the Society’s operations. Measures have been adopted which have reduced, or will shortly reduce, every expenditure to the lowest point, consistent with the best interests o f the work which the Society is called upon to perform. A considerable change, also, having in view this great object, or for other and important reasons, has been elleeted in the personnel of the Society’s service.

Jji this path, difficult, and demanding great attention and prudence, the

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 19

Board have advanced as far as duty appeared to them to demand. They have sought for capable men, and in the employment o f them have earnestly desired to ascertain and pursue the line of a just recompense. And they believe that they are getting things placed upon a proper and sure basis.

But let us now look at the appropriate work of this Society.This work, in the opinion of the Board, is a double one. W e will Speak

o f each portion of it in a few paragraphs.1. The first work of this Society should undoubtedly be, to endeavor,

according to its measure of influence, to awaken in the Protestant churches o f this land, o f all denominations, a proper feeling of the infinite impor­tance of laboring to save the Papal portion o f our population from the dreadful delusions in which they are living. On this point a great work is to be done. A very small portion of our Protestants, even of the truly pi­ous people, have any other than a very imperfect knowledge of the danger­ous errors o f Romanism. Many have not read much on the subject. It has not been one of deep reflection and inquiry. They have lived remote from Rome. They have had little or no contact with her followers. They are not familiar with the ̂ istory of the Reformation of the sixteenth centu­ry, and are ignorant of the great heresies and corruptions of the Roman Catholic Church, which the Reformers condemned, and labored, (but in vain,) to persuade that church to abandon. And Rome and her friends take vast pains to make the world believe that she is greatly changed in modern times, and is not the persecuting and idolatrous church that many believe she once was. Nor is it very difficult to make this impression upon those who are uninformed; because Rome does not dare to talk and to act here as she does where she has the ground to herself. Every very odious thing, every very absurd doctrine and practice, is either kept in the back­ground, or if brought forward, is so explained as to lose all its grossness. Under these circumstances it is not wonderful that the masses o f our Pro­testant population have no correct idea o f Romanism.

But this -knowledge must be imparted to this nation. Romanism is coming in like a flqpd upon us—by immigration, not by proselytism. Soon its adherents and advocates will be found in every village and neighborhood throughout this entire land. It cannot be prevented. The question— the only question— to be considered, is : “ How shalj this state o f things be met by our Protestant Christians ?” “ What are the duties which it im­poses upon them ?” The first is that which we have just stated, viz. that of rightly informing themselves respecting the true nature and tendencies o f the Papal system : o f its erroneous dootrines, as well as the disastrous ef­fects which thove doctrines produce.

2. The second duty of our American Protestants is, to feel properly for the salvation o f the Ro&anists among us; amounting now to three millions,

2 0 A N S C A l i R B P O E T .

according to the Archbishop of New-York, or 1,614,500, according to the statistics given in the Catholic Almanac for 1851, published under the aus­pices of the late Archbishop Eccleston, of Baltimore. On this point, our Protestant Christians have much to learn: respecting the danger o f those who follow the delusions and heresies o f the “ Man of Sin,” on the one «hand, and of the possibility o f causing the true Gospel to reach them through the use o f appropriate means, and directed by a truly Christian spirit, on the other.

Two greatly erroneous opinions prevail among certain Protestants in this land in regard to the Roman Catholics among us; one o f which is that they cannot be converted, and the other, that they do not need to be converted. O f the two classes o f Protestants who hold these opinions it is difficult to determine which most dishonors the name of Protestantism. Romanists are in the most imminent danger. This is dear from the word o f G od. S o thought the Reformers. So thought our fathers when they abandoned the Roman Catholic Church. So think hundreds and thousands who, in our own times, are turning away from Rome. And that Romanists can be turned from their errors, and that this work is an easy one, through G od 's blessing, the history o f the Reformation in the sixteenth century, as well as facts occurring daily in this land, in France, in Belgium, and other Papal countries, do abundantly establish.

3. But on no subject have our Christians more to learn than on the im­portance o f each one laboring with diligence, wisdom, perseverance and frith, for the salvation of Reiman Catholics around him, and with whom he comes daily in contact. On this one point a volume— how much more, then, a few paragraphs—would be insufficient to say all that is demanded. If all our Protestant Christians had that deep sense o f the danger o f the errors of “Romanism ; that solicitude to save those who hold.them ; that enlightened zeal and tact in their endeavors to reach them; that faith and prayer which are so indispensable to successful effort, how soon would Rome feel the powerful, though comparatively silent influence which they would exert! The influence of Protestantism in this land would be irresistible, if that were the case.

One of the greatest dangers of our day arises from the fact that very ma-- iiy of those who profess to be Christians, are disposed to trust to organiza­tions, to societies, and associations, and the agencies which they employ, and do little or nothing in tlhe way of personal effort. Should this erroneous view, and the practice to which it leads, continue to gain ground among us, then the day will come when this tendency to form organizations for the accomplishment of almost every practicable thing will prove to be the greatest of curses to the interests of religion. Already we have too many Christians, or those who profess to be such, that think that the Tract-distributor, the Sabbath-school teacher, the colporteur, the city missionary, the pastor, and

a n n u a l r e p o r t , 21

other persons employed by organizations of one sort or another, are to be charged with the entire work of laboring for the salvation of souls ; whilst they themselves may procure a dispensation by the contribution of a few dollars to sustain such organizations. This is all wrong, and if persevered in, will de­prive the churches of a vast deal of their power to do good.

It is one of the great abjects of this Society to disseminate correct views on all these subjects, and, as far as it can, to wake up the Protestant churches in our country to a right estimate of the work which it aims to accomplish. And this it is doing by its agents and missionaries, by its books, by its Magazine, and other periodical publications. Nor has it labored in vain. There is an evident increase of interest in the churches in relation to the sub­ject of imparting the true Gospel to the Papal world.

But the Society has another work to perform— the work of directly giv­ing the Gospel to Romanists, at home and abroad. Whilst it desires, on the one hand, to create a proper feeling among Protestants in regard to the duty of imparting to the Papal world the knowledge of the true Gospel, it aims, on the other, at attempting this work in a direct manner, by all the means which may be placed in its possession. Let us now review the operations of the Society during the last year ; first in our own country, and then in foreign lands.

o f tfie «S o c ie ty in tfje jfy o m jF t c n r .

The entire number o f Missionaries whom the Society employed in this country, during the whole or portions o f last year, was seventy-eight. Of this number, fourteen were Germans, about twenty were Irish, ten were French and Canadians, three were Italians, two were Spaniards, two were Portuguese, and the rest were English and Americans. The number of dif­ferent languages in which these laborers endeavored to make known the Gospel was seven; —the German, Irish, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and the English. O f the Missionaries employed thirty two were ordained Ministers, eight or ten were licentiates, and the rest were laymen. As to their ecclesiastical relations, they were Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Luthe­rans, German Reformed, Dutch Reformed— in a word, o f all the evangelical branches of the one true Church of C hrist in this land. A few who had not joined any one of the Protestant churches after their separation from Rome, were also in the service of the Society.

It is proper to remark here in pftsing, that the Board have adopted the principle of not employing, unless in very extraordinary cases, and then only for comparatively short terms, any laborer who has not, after aban­doning the errors of Rome, united with some one or other o f the Protestant communions, and is in good and regular standing in the same. There may

22 A N N U A L B B F O K T .

be sometimes cases where converts from Romanism, who might be usefully- employed, have not been able to decide the question, as to which denomi­nation they will attach themselves. Such cases will be rare.

Comparatively few of the laborers of the Society are Americans, or de­vote their services to Americans. They are principally from other nations, and labor in behalf o f their own countrymen who, are now, or will soon be­come, American citizens. Many of the Missionaries are converted Roman­ists. Some of them are located in large cities and towns, and give their at­tentions to congregations and churches which have been gathered under their ministry. Others are in rural districts, occupied nearly in the same way. While others still are itinerating Missionaries, and publish the Gospel, and distribute Tracts and the sacred Scriptures to the emigrant on his arrival at our shores, or on his way to his future home in the West, or at his house, in the place where he makes a temporary stay.

The number of churches collected by the Missionaries in this country is thirteen; the number now connected with the Board is ten. The number of preaehing stations which are fixed and regularly sustained every Sabbath, besides those counted with organized churches, is upwards o f twenty.

Sabbath Schools are connected with most of the churches, and also with many of the preaching stations.

Several hundreds o f children, whose parents are Roman Catholics, now regularly attend these Sabbath Schools.

Our Missionaries have reported during the year many conversions. Some of them have been much blessed in their labors. In several places the work has been particularly encouraging. Many individuals and whole families have renounced the errors of Humanism, and now attend Protestant places o f worship.

W e will now speak of the several districts and stations, occupied by our laborers, in geographical order.

The Society has employed during a large portion of the year, and does still, a very efficient Missionary among the thousands of Irish Ro­man Catholics of that city and its vicinity— whose patient, persevering, judi­cious and pious labors, the Board are convinced, will not be in vain in the L ord . His reports abound in narrations o f conversations with Romajiists, in notices o f little meetings held with them, and of interesting incidents, which show that he has very ready access to the people among whom he la­bors. Having spent twenty years%» the same good work in Ireland, Mr. Hart is abundantly qualified to express an opinion respecting the compara­tive accessibility o f the Papal population of Ireland, and the Irish Roman Catholics in this country. His opinion is decidedly in favor of the latter— a feet of no little encouragement, and worthy o f being known.

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 23

During a small portion of the year a very promising young German brother was employed in visiting some o f the many German colonies which are now to be> found in the vicinity o f Boston, or at no very great distances from that city. But it has been deemed best that he should discontinue these labors, and go on with his studies for the ministry as rapidly as he can.

Providence, Rhode Island. The Society employed for awhile two la- borers among the 10,000 Irish in the city of Providence. One o f these laborers has been transferred to another field; the other, the Rev. Mrr Cors- caden, remains to prosecute the work in that city, and is much encouraged in it. By visitations from house to house, and by holding small meetings, he is imparting the Truth in an unobtrusive and yet effective way. He has lately been ordained to the Gospel Ministry by the Brethren of the Congregational Churches in that city.

Talley o f the Blackstone River. The Rev. Mr. Macreading has labored with decided encouragement and success in this Valley— which lies partly in Rhode Island, and partly in Massachusetts— a large portion of the year, among the French Canadian population,1 which is becoming numerous in the manufacturing villages and towns in it. The L ord has smiled graciously upon his efforts, especially in portions o f his field. It is highly impor­tant that this mission should be sustained.

New Haven. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton, recently arrived from Ireland, was appointed to labor among the large Irish population o f New Haven, Connecticut, and its vicinity. He has been much encouraged in his work, and has secured the high esteem of the churches in that city.

Northern Vermont. In Northern Vermont, and in the adjacent part o f Canada-East, the Society has had, during almost the whole o f the year past, five laborers, two o f whom have been teachers and colporteurs, and three have preached the Gospel. The district of country which is the field of their labors is more than sixty miles long, by forty wide. Over thi^ district is scattered a large and increasing Canadian population, o f French erigin, and still speaking the French language,— many of them knowing little or no­thing of the English. The Rev. Mr. Moraine, aided by Messrs. Greenwood, Charon, and Chabot, has preached the Gospel extensively to this scattered Canadian population, and many have been led to abandon the errors o f po­pery. At West-Enosberg there is a flourishing church o f 149 members, converted Romanists, some o f whom come many miles to hear the preach­ing of the Gospel. During the last winter, as many as thirty hopeful con­versions took place in that neighborhood, some of which were more than or­dinarily interesting in their character.

Middle Vermont. Mr. L’Herieux has labored for two years as a Mis­sionary among the Canadian French population, in several towns on the

western side o f the State of Vermont, and bordering on Lake Champlain, with encouraging success.

City o f New-York. The three services for the benefit o f thè German Catholics which existed a year ago , were, from motives of economy and other prudential considerations, closed last autumn. They will be resumed as soon as circumstances permit. The French service, under the ministry o f the Rev. Mr. Astié, in the chapel of the Brick Church, (Rev. Dr. Spring’s,) has been well attended, and the audience manifest an increasing interest in it. An Italian colporteur prosecutes his work with diligence among the 1,500 people o f his country who reside in this city. A few weeks ago he commenced a Bible-olass for their benefit, which promises to be useful. Se­veral excellent Italians have come to New-York during the past year, and are finding employment in their exile and poverty, in the city, or in other places to which they have been sent by the officers and friends of the So­ciety. This is one o f those incidental modes o f doing good which the So­ciety is often called on to pursue. A Spanish laborer has employed a por­tion of the year in endeavoring to circulate the Scriptures among the Spa­nish population o f New-York ; nor has he labored in vain. And lastly, as many as five Irish Missionaries and colporteurs have labored during the year, or considerable portions o f it, in this city. Their Journals are full o f interesting details o f visits made, o f Bibles and Tracts distributed among those in whom a desire to possess them had been awakened, and of little meetings held for reading the Word and exhortation.

Albany. The excellent Mr. Eadie has continued his quiet, persevering, and prudent labors in Albany during the past year. His labors seem to be greatly owned of G o d ; several persons have abandoned Romanism, and quite a goodly number o f families are now searching the Scriptures. The Board have directed Mr. Greenwood to remove from Northern Vermont to Troy, in o*der that he may labor as a Missionary among the French Cana­dian population, now considerable, o f those cites and its vicinity.

Northern New-York. The Rev. Henry Morell labors with diligence in the county o f St. Lawrence, making Bangor his centre, and the home of his family. His field embraces many scattered families o f French Canadians, whose number is continually increasing. His reports indicate that many minds are beginning to search for the truth.

His brother, Mr. J. G. Morell, labors as a lay Missionary in Ogdens- burg and its vicinity, with much encouragement. Both these Missionaries have been several years in the service.

Champlain. The Boatti have appointed a Missionary to labor at Cham­plain , Am ong the French population of that place.

VA A N N U A L R E P O R T .

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 25

Oswego. The Rev. Mr. Graham has spent the year in laboring among the Irish population of Fulton and Oswego, with good encouragement. His la­bors appear to be judicious, earnest, abundant, and useful. His monthly re­ports contain many facts of a highly interesting nature.

Rochester. The Rev. Mr. Wier continues to labor among the numerous German Roman Catholic population of Rochester. His congregation has been greatly embarrassed for want of a convenient place of worship. Recently, a suitable piece of ground has been purchased, and a commodious and pleasant house erected, through the liberality of ■ the friends of the Society in that city, The preaching of the Gospel among the people who have heard it from our missionary, appears to have been crowned with success during the year. A very interesting Sabbath-school has been maintained, in which from fifty to eighty persons—mostly adults—have been instructed in the word of G od , by teachers from the various Protestant churches, who volunteer their services. Very recently, a young Irish missionary has been sent to labor among the nu­merous Irish population of tbat city. He has commenced his work under fovorable auspices.

Buffalo. The German service wbicb tbe Society commenced in this city, two years ago and more, has been continued. During the early part of the year Dr. Giustiniani was the preacher. When he was transferred to Phila­delphia the Rev. Mr. Shroder temporarily carried on the services. The Rev. Mr. Koehler is now, and has been since last October, the missionary at this station, and seems to be successful in his work.

Both Buffalo and Rochester are missionary ground, so far as the German and Irish population is concerned, in a peculiar sense. Botb are great tho­roughfares, at which very many of the immigrants from the Old World make only a temporary abode, on their march to the more distant West. Hundreds who have heard the Gospel, within the last two or tbree years, from the Ger­man Missionaries of the Society in those cities, are now in Ohio, Michigan, Il­linois, Wisconsin, and Iowa; and have carried with them impressions which will not be lost.

Missions among the Portuguese in the Seaports. The Rev. Mr. Gon­salves has labored for several years among the Portuguese seamen in our whaling ports of Nantucket, New Bedford, New London, Sag Harbor, and other places engaged in the whaling trade. His labors in this field have been useful—through conversation, preaching of the Word, and the distribution of the Scriptures and religious tracts. In the autumn he retired from the ser­vice of the Society, and at present sustains no connection with it.

Newark, New Jersey. The services in the Free German Church, under the care of the Society, have been maintained during the year by the Rev.

36 A N N U A L R E P O R T .

Mr. Pfister. The number of the members of the church is now about seven­ty. The Sunday-school has been continued, through the efforts of several de­voted ladies of the Presbyterian churches in that city. The Board have deemed it to be prudent to endeavor to induce that church to unite with se­veral other small German Protestant churches, holding substantially the same opinions as to doctrine and ecclesiastical polity, believing that their spiritual interests would be thereby advanced, and a considerable expense avoided. It remains to be seen whether this project can be realized. If it should be, the missionary who is now there will probably be transferred to Cleveland, Chica­go, or some other city in the West, where German laborers are so much needed.

Philadelphia. The German Mission in Philadelphia has been sustained through the year with more or less of encouragement. It has had to encoun­ter two difficulties: first, the want of a suitable place of worship; and se­cond, the want of a permanent ministry. The former has been overcome by the obtaining of the use of the Whitefield Chapel, without rent; and the lat­ter we hope to see removed in the course of the coming year. The preaching of the Word has been carried on by several German preachers, among whom was Dr. Giustiniani, who retired from the service of the Society in Janu­ary last, after having labored zealously and effectively in it for several years. The Rev. Mr. Brunner temporarily occupies the pulpit. A flourishing Sab-

„bath-school, in connection with this mission, has been carried on by a number of excellent teachers belonging to several Protestant churches in that city.

Besides the Rev. Mr. Brunner, the Society now has another German mis­sionary and two Irish co-laborers ; all of them most usefully employed, it is believed, in their appropriate work in that great city. The reports of their la­bors are highly interesting and encouraging. The Irish missionaries have lately organized a Sunday-school, in which there are forty or fifty Irish chil­dren, of Roman Catholic parents. Two or three of the teachers are Roman Catholics ; and many of the parents attend the services connected with the school. The word of G od is read without hesitation. Whilst the Board are gratified in reporting that they have now four missionaries in Philadelphia, where they had but one a year ago, they cannot but express the hope that the day may.soon come when they shall be able to report four or five-fold that number in the second city of our Union. .

New Orleans. The Rev. Philippe Wolff has continued to labor in the French Mission in the city of New Orleans. This mission has been greatly retarded by the want of a suitable place of worship in the French part of the city. Mr. Wolff and others feel assured that if this obstacle could be removed, a flourishing French Protestant Church might soon be built up in that city, where there are at least forty or fifty thousand people who speak the French

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 27

language, and who are almost all Roman Catholics— so far as they make a profession of any belief in Christianity. The Board are of the opinion, that if the Protestant churches in New Orleans will make a vigorous effort to erect a place of worship for this French Protestant church, which the Society has been endeavoring for these three years to build up, effective aid may be expected from our Northern Christians in this important enterprise. And they are quite of opinion, that unless decided and successful measures be taken to se­cure a proper place of worship for it, it must fail to accomplish the good which it might do, and which is so much needed in that important city.

The Rev. Mr. L ’Hote, who was also laboring in New Orleans, in the service of the Society, a year ago, has retired from that service, and will probably return to France.

During the last winter, a Spanish Protestant gentleman who has labored, from time to time, to some extent in the city of New-York, for the Society, has made inquiries into the condition of the Spaniards in New Orleans, whom he finds to be about 8,000 in number, and has distributed 41 copies of the Scriptures, and 112 Religious Tracts among them.

Mexican Mission in the Valley o f the Rio Grande. Mr. Monsalvatge, who had been stationed at San Antonio in Texas, was sent last summer to Brownsville, opposite to Matamoras, on the Rio Grande, where he has a large school during the week composed of Mexican children, has a Sabbath School, and meeting, for reading the Scriptures and exhortation, in the Spanish lan­guage. The Board have received abundant and delightful testimony, from the Rev. Dr. Chamberlain, the Presbyterian minister in Brownsville, and from Ma­jor Chapman, the commander of the military station at that place, who, with his lady, takes the deepest interest in the mission, in behalf of Mr. Monsalvatge and his labors. A building, suitable at once for a school-house, a dwelling-house, and a place for holding religious meetings, is greatly needed, and can be erect­ed, with the aid of $1000 from abroad, by friends on the spot. The Board cannot aid this undertaking from the funds of the Society, but tliey would ask whether that sum cannot be promptly furnished by friends of the cause ?,

The importance of this mission will be manifest to all who reflect upon the fact that there is a large and increasing Mexican population at Browns­ville and other points on the American side of the Rio Grande ; that these people have the most intimate relations with the people on the other side of the river; that they are willing, and some of them desirous, to receive in­struction in regard to Protestantism; and that they are beneath our American Flanr, and therefore can be approached without hazard. It is, therefore, in the opinion of the Board, in the highest degree important that this mission should be enlarged and strengthened. A converted Spaniard, now laboring in France, ought to be brought over, and sent into this mission, without loss of time.

The Portuguese in Illinois. The Rev. Mr. De Mattos, who was with us at the last annual meeting, having just arrived from Scotland, (where he had pursued his theological studies,.) has faithfully labored as the pastor of the exiles from Madeira who are in the State of Illinois. As these excellent peo-

*ple are chiefly to be found in Springfield, "Jacksonville, and Waverly, and their vicinities, Mr. Be Mattos divides his time among them, visiting each in rotation. Last autumn, a second company of these exiled brethren was sent out to Illinois, the means for doing so having been promptly given by the Christian public in answer to an appeal made by the Board. A family or two, and some individuals, in all fourteen persons, still remained in New- York, but these have within a few days been enabled to leave, to rejoin their friends in Illinois, through the efforts of one of the members of the Board, The entire number in the west now falls but little short of five hundred. It is gratifying to know that they are doing well in every respect, industrious, patient, temperate, frugal, spiritually-minded, humble, and in a good degree contented. They are acquiring, whilst laboring in the service of their employ­ers, the English language, and the knowledge of western life and modes of agriculture, etc. which will at no distant day fit them to undertake to culti­vate lands of their own.

German Mission in Wisconsin. The Rev. Christian Zipp continues to labor abundantly, and, through God’s blessing, successfully,— preaching the

‘gospel at several places, widely remote from each other. The Board would be happy to have many such men in its service—holding the “ Faith once delivered, to the saints,” in simplicity, and preaching it with power, indefatiga­ble, immoved and unimpeded by difficulties.

Missionary Agents. In addition to the missionaries of various character and of different nations of whom we have just spoken, there have been em­ployed during the whole or part of the year, several laborers who, besides collecting funds and circulating the Magazine, have also directed much of their attention to the subject of the conversion of Romanists. They have labored in districts where no large sums could be expected at present in the shape of collections, but where a Papal population is increasing, and where it is of great importance that Protestants should be stirred up to pray with earnestness and faith, and to labor with wisdom and perseverance, for their enlightenment and conversion. This is a most important work, and ought not to be neglected. And although laborers in such fields cannot be expected to be very profitable as collecting agents, yet none of them have been a burden to the Society, and some of them have collected two or three times as much as their salaries and expenses. A small claw of this species of agents, or rather of Missionary Agents, will always be needed to perform a peculiar work in certain portions of the country.

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 29

Such is the brief survey which their limits permit the Board to take in this Report of their labors in the Home Field, during the second year of the So­ciety’s existence.

It will be seen that the Society has extended its operations greatly during the last year. And yet a vastly greater extension of them is imperatively de­manded. There are individuals, churches, or associations, in Brooklyn, Asto­ria, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Mobile, New Orleans, and other places, that engage to support, in whole or in part, well-qualified missionaries among the Irish, German, and other foreign population in those localities, if the Board will furnish the men. All our large cities demand several laborers each, who shall devote themselves exclusively to the foreigners, who have come in such great numbers during the last few years, and are coming. At least half a dozen French, German, and Irish missionaries are needed at this moment in California. Our country needs several hundreds of such laborers. But where are the men and the means to support them, to be found ? As to the men, many of them must be sought in Europe—in Ireland, in Germany, in France, and other countries. Blessed be G od , many can now be found there. It was far otherwise a few years ago. The Board will probably adopt effective mear sures to find such men in greater number, and possessing good qualifications for the work, during the coming year.

As to the means of supporting an increased number of laborers, the Board have the confidence that they will not be wanting when the proper jnen are found for the work. The same L o r d , who, by His Spirit, and grace furnishes the men for this work, will not fail to furnish the means for doing it.

j F o r e t g n j F t e lt f *

We now turn to the Foreign Field, and would bring the operations of the Society there under a brief notice.

X. Our Own Hemisphere.

Canada. The Board regret to say that the financial condition of the So­ciety during the last year did not permit them to do anything for Canada. They hope, however, before long, to renew the grant which the Foreign Evan­gelical Society annually made to the French Canadian Missionary Society, and so far as it may be in their power, aid the good work that is going forward among the French portion of the population of that country, amounting to more thrfn 600,000 souls, and which is nearly all Papal. But although they have not been able to extend any aid to the work in Canada the past year, the

so A N N U A L R E P O R T .

Board have not been indifferent to the many evidences which exist that it has been advancing steadily, both under the auspices of the French Canadian Mis­sionary Society, and in connection with the Swiss Mission at Grande Ligne. They feel assured that a good work has been commenced among the French population of that country, which will, with G od’s blessing, lead in time to grand results; and they greatly desire to share in the privilege of aiding it in some measure, however humble.

#Hayti. Mr. Neil continues to labor with good encouragement at St.

Marc, where he maintains a school, in which he instructs a goodly number of pupils, distributes the Scriptures among the people, and preaches the Gospel to as .many as come to hear him in his little meetings, which he holds regularly and frequently. He reports several hopeful conversions as having occurred during the past year.

Within a few months the Board have been induced to regard with much favor a work in the interior of Hayti, where a missionary has been laboring in a quiet and effective manner for the last four years, to impart the Truth. This gentleman, whose history is remarkable in many respects, came to this, his native country, last summer, to visit his friends, and receive ordination, with a view to his laboring permanently for the benefit of a people living in great ignorance of the Gospel—either the slaves of a miserable superstition, or the rejeqjters of Christianity altogether, from not knowing what a true Chris­tianity is— among whom G od has cast his lot for more than twenty years, and where, under the most unfavorable circumstances, he was brought to the knowledge of the true Gospel. Encouraged by the promises of cooperation on the part of some of the Baptist churches in this city, to which communion the missionary belongs, the Board have resolved, if the means can be found, to take charge of this mission, at least until it becomes in a good degree es­tablished. Seldom has the way been so wonderfully opened for an important work in so important a field. Hayti is one of the finest portions in the West Indian Archipelago. Favoritejsland of Columbus, it was the first part of this western hemisphere that was occupied by the European race. And what a history it has had! Never has Rome had a better field on which to show what is the legitimate tendency of her entire system. Nowhere in this wide world has the experiment which she has made proved a greater failure. That admirable island bears, in all its population, the marks—deep, and almost in­delible— of the debasing and corrupting influence of Romanism! Thanks be to G od, many of the most intelligent of its inhabitants fully understand the nature of the system, and are turning away from it in disgust. Many long for a better Christianity, which, they have heard exists in some other portions of Christendom. The Board are persuaded that the day is come when the churches of this land ought to take a deep interest in the regeneration of St.

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 31

Domingo; an island of more than 900,000 inhabitants, and the most open to the Gospel of..all the Papal islands in the West Indies— a portion of this hemisphere with which we must, as a people, sustain relations that will become more and more intimate in coming time.

South America. In August Mr. Trumbull left the United States, -with Mrs. T. to return to his post as missionary of this Society, and chaplain of the American Seamen’s Society at Valparaiso, in Chili. Numerous letters, re­ceived from him since his arrival there, inform us that he has resumed his la­bors with much encouragement, in the chapel, and on board the shipping. He has re-commenced the publication of the “ N e ig h b o r a semi-monthly news­paper, which he is making a vehicle of important general intelligence, and in ■which he is enabled to say many things, in an inoffensive way, which have a bearing upon the best interests of the country, and the diffusion of the Truth. He greatly needs a colporteur or two, as well as a good English teacher. The latter, if a man of devoted piety and zeal, and withal prudent and persevering, would be eminently useful, with G o d ’s blessing, and might sustain himself by his exertions. The Board are greatly desirous to send out such a man, and have hope that G od will put it in their power to do so.

The Board desire to send a missionary and colporteurs into Brazil; and if sustained by the Christian public, they hope to be able to do so in the course of the coming year. There are also other parts of South America in which it would seem to be the duty of our churches to attempt to introduce the Gos­pel without delay. We have all slept too long over this subject. Even failure, in well aimed and well directed efforts to give the Gospel to those who live in the same hemisphere with ourselves, would seem preferable to that indifference and inaction which we have hitherto manifested. But failure will hardly occur.

Let us now turn our attention to the

O l d W o r l d .

Ireland. In Ireland, so intimately related to us— exerting such a vast in­fluence upon us— the Board have done something—little, indeed, in compari­son with what they have desired to do. They have appropriated and sent the sum of $1500 to the American Committee in Dublin, to aid the work of spreading the truth in that island. The Rev. Alexander King, whose visit to this country, three years ago, is still so vividly and so agreeably remembered by many among us, is laboring with zeal and success in connection with that Committee, to advance the interests of the Truth in the “ Emerald Isle.” By preaching, by discussions, by the Press, and in many other ways, he is labor­ing with great diligence for the regeneration of his native island. When they

32 A N H Ü À X R E P O R T .

consider the increased, accessibility of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and the vast influence which the spread of the Truth there must have upon us here, the Board cannot but desire most earnestly that the good work might be prosecuted with more vigor in that land, and that they might be enabled to do far more than they have hitherto attempted in its behalf.

France. Although the Board bave not done as much as they desired in this great and important field during the past year, they are happy to report that they have made some advance upon the preceding year. Through the zeal and kindness of the American Committee at Geneva, whose generous President has more than once interfered to supply our lack of ability, about twenty missionaries and other laborers have been employed in that country by the Society during the past year. And although the obstacles in the way of spreading the Gospel in that land—arising from the opposition of the Govern­ment, opposition of the priests, opposition of infidels and other wicked men— are many and great, yet they are not insurmountable. The Truth triumphs in many places over all hindrances. The number of the pious is steadily in­creasing; the Gospel is gaining a foothold at many points in" almost all parts of the country. The Evangelical Societies of Paris and Geneva, as well as the Bible and Tract Societies of the former city, and the Book Society of Tou­louse, are prosecuting their noble work with zeal and energy ; and though the Board could not aid them last year, as in former years, nor as they hope to do in the future, they have not been indifferent to their trials and hopes, to their joys and their discouragements. They have deeply sympathized with them, and have only to regret that they have not been able to give a more effective demonstration of that sympathy.

The Board are happy to say that the Society has with it, on this occa­sion, a most worthy representative of the Evangelical Society of France, the Rev. Léon Pilatte, who came to this country last summer, with letters of re­commendation to them, from that Society. They are happy to say that Mr. Pilatte has everywhere^been well received by our churches, and that his mis­sion bids fair to be eminently successful It has given the Board great plea­sure to do what they could,— by commending him and his mission to the churches, by publishing his appeal in the Magazine, and otherwise,— to aid him in the object of his visit to our country.*

Belgium. The Board have just appropriated the sum of $300 to Bel-

* It may not be amiss tp state that the American and Foreign Christian Union and the Foreign Evangelical Society, one of those Societies out of which it was formed, have done much for the cause of truth in the Old World, by encouraging and helping those who have been sent over to solicit the aid of our churches on extraordinary occasions. In several cases, the sending or coming of such “ messengers ” was first proposed by os. The Rev. Mr. Boucher of firussells, in this way, came over in the winter of 1836-37, and obtained under such

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 33

gitttn, and it will be sent in a few days. They regret that they could not do more for this field, which is “ white unto the harvest.”

Sweden. They have also sent $150 to support the excellent JRosenius, who has so long been sustained by the Society as a missionary in Stockholm. The influence of Mr. R. is great in that Scandinavian country, not only: through his labors in the capital, but also by means of the two religious pe­riodicals which he conducts, and which circulate extensively in the kingdom..

Through the liberality of a kind friend of the Society, residing in Brook­lyn, the Board have had this means put at their disposal to sustain Mr. Ahn- feldt, a pious layman, who by his conversation, by his exhortations, as well as by the singing of sacred songs, aided by the guitar, is represented as doing much good in the interior of the country, in a kind and quiet way—his simple and agreeable manner, his unostentatious zeal and devotedness, and his great humility and pleasant disposition rendering him an acceptable guest every­where.

Russia. The Board hoped, up to the last moment, to be able to remit the sum of $500 to employ colporteurs in that empire, to distribute Tracts and Bibles, at the great Fairs, (more than twenty in number,) wh;ch afford such important facilities for doing good—but they were not able to do so. They hope to resume that good work at no distant day.

Italy. The Board have two laborers in the northern part of Italy, who are quietly and effectively laboring to spread the truth; but we may not name them in this report, nor speak further of either the nature of their labors, or of the country in which they reside. They are doing, however, a good work—of this our friends may rest assured.

At Rome, the American Chapel which the Society opened in December, 1849, and which was closed for two months in ti e winter of 1849-50, has been placed on a better footing. A large room, or an apartment rather, has been rented, on conditions, for the term of three years, in’ a part of the city convenient for the Americans who frequent that city, and fitted up at an ex­

auspices more than $8000 to build a chapel in that city, which aourishes to this day. The Rev. George Scott received $7000 for his Mission-Church in Sweden, iu 1S41. The Rev. Dr. Cunningham and his associates, who were encouraged by us in a decided manner, and immediately after the “ disruption,” to come over, obtained in 1843-44 more than 660,000. Mr. Bridel received, iu 1848, greatly through the efforts o f the Society, in all about $9000, and Mr. King, from Ireland, the same year, more than $7000— to say nothing of the nearly $25,000 for Ireland raised by Dr. Dill and his friend, at the same time. And now Mr. Pilutte is among us, and is succeeding well. Besides this, our brethren in Canada have often been encouraged to make appeals to our churches in behalf o f their missionary un- dertakiugs.

34 A N N U A L R E P O . R T .

pense of more than $700, borne by thé American and English visiters and re­sidents, chiefly by the former, and the word of G od has been preached to Ame­ricans and English by the Rev. George H. Hastings, twice every Sabbath, without interruption, and with the special permission of the government, since last October. It is to be hoped that this important service is now well estab­lished. From October till June many Englishmen and Americans are every year in Rome. It is of great importance, to say nothing of any other influ­ence which may be exerted, that, in these days, when Rome is making so many efforts to proselyte our Americans, many of whom are young, that go thither, should have a kind, faithful, agreeable and able minister of the Gospel at Rome to look after them, to shield them against the many snares which will beset their pathway in a city where there is so much, even in its fading remains, and in its magnificent churches and splendid ceremonies, and wonderful music, to captivate and mislead. Mr. H. has been much encouraged by the large number of people who have attended his services, as well as by the appreciation and aid which they have received from so many worthy Americans and Englishmen. There is every reason to believe that this ser­vie« is a most useful one, and that it ought to be maintained. Not one Ame­rican has become a Roman Catholic, it is believed, in Rome, since this chapel was opened. It has been far otherwise with the English, a number of whom have there entered the Roman Catholic church.

Mr. Hastings will probably spend his summers in Genoa or Leghorn, ready to avail himself of any opportunity of doing good.

The chaplaincy at Rome was one of the measures which the American and Foreign^Christian Union inherited from the Foreign Evangelical Society ; and although the state of Italy, and especially of Rome, is now widely diffe­rent from what it was then, yet the Board have not seen their way clear to relinquish the undertaking. On the contrary, they feel that it is of the great­est moment that it should be effectively sustained.

The Board have directed the sum of $400 to be sent to the Waldenses ; this sum having been contributed by friends in different parts of the country, with a special designation. The Society will learn from the following extract of a letter, written by a gentleman on the spot, how great is the prospect that God will yet employ these people for the accomplishment of some great and good work in the land where their ancestors endured so much suffering for Christ and his Gospel. The appeal which this extract contains is a strong one, and ought to be responded to in a liberal manner by many an American Christian.

"Since your visit to La Tour* we have built a church, which is roofed in, and we hope to consecrate it in the month of October, We intend

* The chief town of the Waldenaes, a little way from the entrance into the most impor­tant of their Valleys.

building four houses for the professors of the college, and one for a par­sonage. W e hope to build three more for the professors. There is now a Faculty of Philosophy. Circumstances will probably induee us to add a Fa­culty of Theology, sooner or later; and then the establishment will be com­plete. The system of Public Instruction will be rounded off in the Yalleys before it is hardly commenced in Piedmont, and we must hope that it will bear its fruits in due season.

1 College.3 Grammar Schools.

15 Parish Schools,129 Hamlet Schools.

8 Girls’ Schools.

156, containing 4,718 Scholars.

** There is a good library attached to the college, and a popular library ia each parish.”

The letter further states that the next movement will be to build a church at Turin. The patent, authorizing the Waldenses to build a church in that city, has been signed by the king, and nothing remains but to commence the work. The Waldenses can only furnish a part of the sum required, which will probably be about $16,000. A lot of ground has been bought on one of the principal streets, Viale del Re, which is the broad promenade leading to the Suspension Bridge on the Po. “ My object,” says the writer of the letter from which we have quoted, “ is to induce you to obtain funds for this pur­pose.” We have sent $400, much of which sum was given for the promotion of that undertaking. Who will send us more aid for this great and important object? We would rather vary the inquiry, and ask : “ Who will not?” We ought to deem it a privilege to help so important an enterprise. It will be a wonderful day when the Waldenses have a good church in Turin, where the Dukes of Savoy formerly resided, so many of whom were their cruel persecu­tors. They have now a service in Italian in that place, and one in Pignerol,* both of which are well attended by Italians. All this has been done according to law. Two Waldensian preachers have also been laboring in Florence, but thev are closely watched, and not a little hindered of late in their work. It would seem as if the day cannot be far distant when the Truth will have 44 free course ” in the northern part of Italy at least. This is the more to be hoped for when we consider that 25,000 copies of the Sacred Scriptures have been sold within two or three years in Lombardy (Austrian Italy) and Piedmont!.. ,It is a gratifying fact that the young king of Sardinia and his

ministers seem to be disposed to carry into effect the principles of the consti­tution, which are truly liberal.

We conclude this brief survey of the operations of the Society in the Foreign Field, by stating that the number of men whom the Board have employed in that department of their labors has been thirty :—making the whole number employed by the Society the last year, at home and abroad, more than one hundred. This is a decided advance upon the last year.

C O N C L U S I O N :

The ordinary and regular receipts of the Society for the eleven months, incladed in the Treasurer’s Report on this occasion, were quite equal to the entire receipts of last year, deducting those for the Portuguese Exiles, which were extraordinary. Had the Treasurer’s Report included the month of April, the receipts would have been greater by several thousand dollars. This is indeed encouraging.

The Board feel that the Society has great reason to be cheered by the many propitious omens which mark its present pathway. With the prospect of being soon delivered from every embarrassment which clogged its march during the first two years of its existence, and having the hope of being able to find every year an increasing number of good men to labor among the millions of Romanists in this land, and having good reason to believe that still wider doors of usefulness will soon be opened in the Papal world abroad, the Board would deem it in the highest degree criminal to grow weaiy in the great work in which they are embarked. They are more and more convinced that this Society must soon take rank by the side of the great Societies which are engaged in the enterprises of Home and Foreign Missions, for it fills a great space which lies between them, and completes what has been long wanting.

In all directions the work of the Society is full of promise. A time of trial, of severe trial, may be drawing near, but He who sitteth King in Zion is abundantly able to carry his Church triumphantly through it. Rome may summon all her energies for a great conflict. It will not be the first time that she has done so within the last three hundred years. But if she could not succeed when she was backed by the Emperor of Germany and the Kings of France Mid Spain, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and again in the reign of James H. when these Papal nations were great and the Protestant countries weak, what right has she now to expect success—when the Protestant nations —England, Prussia, and the United States, to say nothing of Holland and other minor states—have become so powerful, and the Papal ones have lost

A N N U A L R E P O R T . 37

ground ? She may for a while boast of successful aggression upon some of the Protestant Churches which have retained ceremonies and doctrines that approach too nearly to her own; but it will only be to secure the certain purification and regeneration of those churches, and to hasten her own more complete overthrow. Her sanguine hopes,* her arrogant claims, her astonish­ing boastings will all end in utter confusion and irretrievable disappointment. The contest may be long and severe, but the downfall of Rome is certain, for G od has willed it, and prophecy has announced it. In this great struggle we may neither be idle nor neutral, lest we deserve and receive the curse which fell upon those of old who “ came not to the help o f the Lord, to the help o f the Lord against the mighty

* It really is calculated to excite one’ s pity to hear, as we have done on good authority, that there are priests in Rome who confidently expect that the conversion of England to Romanism will be accomplished in about three years, and that o f the United States in jive, or at farthest in ten ! How proround and even infantine must be such ignorance. And what would seem almost incredible— if it were not for his famous Lecture On the Decline o f Protestantism , delivered in N ew-York just before he set out on his pilgrimage to the c‘ Eter­nal City,” — Archbishop Hughes is said to be busy in encouraging and promoting the de­lusion ?
