THE AMERICAN BAPTIST HOME MISSION SOCIETY, having the everlasting Gospel to preach to all of every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people in North America, solicits your hearty co-oporation, your liberal contributions, and your effectual and fervent prayers. 
Contributions may be forwarded to Rev. J. S.

Any Baptist Church that pays Ten Dollars can be represented by a delegate at the annual meeting. Thirty Dollars will constitute you or your friend a Life Member, and One Hundred Dollars a Life Director. Give as you love your Country. Give as you love Christ. Give as Christ gave for you. Give while you live; and before you die say in your Will: "I give and bequeath to the American Baptist Home Mission Society, formed in the City of New York in eighteen hundred and thirty-two, the the sum of............. Dollars, for the purposes of the Society." For all of which we will give you credit and give to God the glory.
