"In the American Home Missionary Society's Annual Reports, the ministers or missionaries aided, are classed under the heads of New England, Middle, Southern, and Wi stern Stales. The number so aided, for a few years past, in each of tliese geographical divisions, according to said Reports, is as follows : 15)48-3 Kew England States, 302 Middle do 239 Southern do 15 Western do 463 Total, 1,019 1,032 1,065 1,065 1,087 " The largest number aided in the Southern States, in any one of the last five years, is 15.

In Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas, with an aggregate popu- lation of 1,887,309 souls, and an area of 160,920 square miles, it aided only three ministers or missionaries, one in each State.
