THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION—­ITS PLACE AND WORK.

BY SECRETARY M.E.  STRIEBY.

We commemorate the forty-third anniversary of the American Missionary Association.  During these years, its place and work have become somewhat definitely settled, and I take this occasion to set forth the position that it now holds in relation to its constituents, its sister societies, and the great work providentially thrown upon it.
