Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Boards to the General Assembly The same thoughtful care manifested in former years for their sisters the wives Of Missionaries, has abounded with the christian women in our churches this year. Missionary boxes, which are never counted by us as any part of the salary, but as wholly a gra tuity to the Missionaries, have been sent out in great abundance, and in this way relief has been furnished to many a needy family. But these boxes ought not to be the measure Of the benefactions from the female members of our churches to their Sisters in the home field. More money for an adequate salary is better than many boxes. And many Of our female missionary societies SO regard it, and cannot content themselves without adding donations in money for our treasury. The movement in behalf Of Foreign Missions, awakens the conscience and. Sensibilities Of the women in behalf of Home Missions.
