ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SIXTEENTH ANNIVERSARY.

It has been thought desirable for the present, at least, to hold our Anniversary services, alternately with the Home and Foreign Missions, with both of which we sustain a relation so intimate and fraternal. Having met with the Home Mission at Cleveland, Ohio, the last year, it has been decided to accept the invitation of the Pearl Street Baptist Church, Albany: and accordingly The Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the Am. and For. Bible Society, will be held in their house of worship. The Annual Sermon may by expected from Rev. Geo. B. Ide, D. D., of Mass., or his alternate, Rev. Charles Hill Rowe, of Illinois, on Lord's Day evening, the 15th of May next.

The usual business meeting for the choice of officers for the ensuing year, will be held in the Lecture Room of the Pearl Street Church, on Monday the 16th of May. at 2 o'clock, P. M. The other anniversary exercises are intended to fill up two sessions, at 3 o'clock P. M., and at 7 in the evening. Besides the address usually expected from the President, Rev. Dr. Welch, on taking the chair, and the presentation of the Treasurer's and the Managers' Reports, interesting addresses may by expected from the Hon. Judge Harris, the Hon. G. R. Davis, Rev. I. Wescott, of N. Y., from Rev. Dr. Turnbull, of Conn., Rev. J. L. Burrows, of Pa., and Rev. J. Hyatt Smith and J. M. Hoyt, Esq., of Ohio. Our returned Missionaries, Cross, from Burmah, probably Lord from China, and Oncken from Germany, may also be expected to tell us what they have seen and heard and felt in connection with giving the bread of life to the perishing.

A season of spiritual refreshment may reasonably be expected in connection with these services; especially if, as on some former occasions, the children of God who fervently love His holy word. will come up to the city of our appointed solemnities with devout, intense prayerfulness, for the effusion of the Holy Spirit on speakers and hearers.

The Home Mission Anniversary is to be held in the neighboring city of Troy, on the three preceding days; and the Miss. Union and its Board, will hold their annual meetings immediately after our own, beginning on Tuesday, the 17th of May-so that little more than a week's time will be covered by them all.

BIBLE HOUSE

The committee appointed at the special meeting of the Am. & For. Bible Society, held in Hope Chapel in April last, "to procure suitable premises for the Society," have extended much attention to the subject, throughout the season past. Time, and careful consideration have been given to a variety of plans, and the comparative merit of different localities has been canvassed, with an earnest desire to reach such results, as would generally be approved. The decision finally arrived at, has been the purchase on individual responsibility of the valuable premises in Nassau Street, for more than 30 years owned and occupied as the American Bible Society House. There we commenced with them, and for many happy years cooperated in the good work of giving the Scriptures to the

destitute at home and abroad.

As that Society are about to remove up town, for the convenience of their greatly enlarged operations, especially in their extensive publishing department, an opportunity was offered to procure a situation, where our own and the other cooperating Societies of our denomination may all, if they choose, be conveniently located. On making extensive inquiry among pastors and other brethren, having most frequent occasion to convene at such head quarters, it has been satisfactorily ascertained, that for the present, at least, and probably for many years to come, this lower focal point, from which all the lines of communication in this city and its surroundings ray forth, will be more generally convenient than any other. Should another generation demand changes, for their better accommodation, it is believed they can, not only without sacrifice, but probably with great pecuniary advantage, dispose of the property now offered.

The purchasers of these premises have offered them to the Am. & For. Bible Society on the conditions, that the nett cost of $55,000 be raised to pay for them by the 1st of May next, and that suitable accommodations be there proffered rent-free, in perpetuity for the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and for such an agency as may in this city be required of the Baptist Miss. Union and the Am. Baptist Publication Society.

The time for action is short; but the purchasers, who now offer this property on the above terms, believe that the amount can be secured, and they give largely themselves, for the promotion of this desirable object.

It has long been the deliberate conviction of some of the wisest and most farseeing among us, that all our benevolent Societies, of this general character ought to have accommodations, in convenient proximity, in this great city—not dependent on the contingent good-will of a few individuals or of a single church. The opportunity for securing this and much more for the public advantage is now offered; and if each one to whom this appeal for coöperation shall be carried, will give to it adequate consideration, so as to understand fully its benign bearing upon the general harmony, efficiency and welfare of the denomination, it is believed the requisite sum will be promptly subscribed.

The following cut, and the accompanying explanations, which have been sent forth to some extent in another form, are here subjoined, for more general and definite information.

[graphic][subsumed]

The premises, of which a fair front view is above given, embrace a lot over 50 feet by 100, on NASSAU STREET, below Beekman, in the most central and convenient location for the proposed purposes-having double entrances in front and rear, so as greatly to enhance the convenience and value of the offices, stores and other tenements which the building may furnish. It now shows but three stories in front, and four in the rear, but may easily be raised two stories more, on the same foundations; and by judicious alterations in the basement and main stories, may afford a considerable income permanently, besides giving cligible accommodations, RENT-FREE FOREVER, to the American and Foreign Bible Society, the Baptist Home Mission Society, and for an agency of the Publication Society, and the Missionary Union. The income, after defraying any requisite expenses of needed alterations, it is intended to apply to the gratuitous distribution of the Sacred Scriptures in our own and foreign lands-an object in which all the above organizations have a common interest.

The great desirableness of having, in the most convenient and accessible location, at this great commercial city of our land, some COMMON HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE BAPTIST DENOMINATION, where citizens, and visitors from the widest extremes of the country can find ready access to all our coöperating Societies, of a general character, has long been acknowledged. The opportunity of securing them is now offered. The appeal for prompt and generous aid is therefore put forth by those who sincerely desire to cooperate with the friends of our common cause, all over the land, in laying permanent and broad foundations for the success, with God's blessing, of all these noble organizations.
