It is not incompatible with the 45th Canon, renewedly to notice, and to recommend to the notice of others, the Female Working Association. This Association, by the mere ordinary labor of the hands, during one half day every week, has made enough since last Convention, to contribute, For the annual education of a heathen child, $12.00; In clothing for heathen children at one of the Missionary establishments in our country, $10.00; To our Missionary Society, $20.00; To the Library above mentioned, $50.00; We cannot help saying to others – Go thou and do likewise.
