to give one cent daily, weekly, or monthly, according to each one's financial ability. The object is to give every colored man, woman and child who can be reached by these societies an opportunity to do something for the American Missionary Association, which has done, and is doing, so much for them.

As the new school year begins we renew our efforts in the society here, and shall try to stimulate others in the hope that much more may be done this year than was done last year in this humble way for the great cause.

We are trying to have the colored people feel that they are members of the American Missionary Association and that the work which the Association is trying to do is their work, and that the debt which burdens the Association is their debt, which they are to share in common with the other lowly peoples on whose account the debt has been incurred.
