It was deemed advisable to make but little effort outside of Topeka, un- til actual payments had proved the worth of the subscriptions pledged.
It now remains with the friends of the College. a> represented by this Association, to say-what they will do, and when they will do it. All that has been done will be practically lost for the time being. unless the build- ing can be made available for use.
In the minds of some. the pecuniary stringeney of the times may suggest an objection to any immediate effort throughout the State. To this it may be replied that there will always be some obstacle in the way of every en- terprise. "He that observeth the wind shall not sow, and he that regard- eth the clouds shall not reap." The longer the delay, the harder will it be to accomplish the object. It is always easier to keep an object moving than to start it after it has once stopped.
The contracts on the building could be let in three parts, and gradually.
1st. The contract to prepare the building for plastering, including the floors and stairs.
2nd. The contract for plastering, &e.
3rd. The contract for completing the south half of the building.
All this could be done by raising ten or twelve thousand dollars. And it would seem as if that amount could be raised, and ought to be raised.
Are there not 12 in the State who could give $1,000 each ? or if not 12, are there not 24, who could give 8500 each ? or if not 24, are there not 48 who could give $100 each ? We believe there are some of each class.
The condition stipulated by the Association was accepted, subscriptions secured, and the work prosecuted thus far, in full faith that the friends of the College outside of Topeka, would at the proper time, rally to the fulfill- ment of that generous assurance, once and again incorporated as a part of the records of this Body.
Nor, have We any reason. as yet, to think that this contidence has been at all misplaced. The most reliable thing in the world is the christian heart. A College finds its greatest source of strength. next to God, in God's people. We believe that the churches and brethren of the State will do all that can reasonably be expected of them. Indeed the kindly spirit with which the presentation of the college has been everywhere received, is an evidence that the brethren are interested in it. The upbuilding of a Christian College requires sacrifice and self-denial. . One precious life in the person of Rev. Samuel D. Bowker, has already been offered upon the altar. One of the present instructors in the institution has refused one thousand eight hundred dollars salary from an eastern institution, and is struggling with the college, at a salary of only $1.100, two hundred and fifty of which, he has subscribed for the erection of the building. And lest any one should envy the position of President. it may be allowable to state, that all he re- ceived on salary the past year was $800, and all that he has received on sal- ary, during the five months of the current year, including traveling expen- ses, amounts to exactly one hundred and fifty dollars. Those most closely ronnected with Washburn College are disposed to share with their breth- en through the State, in whatever self-denial or sacrifice may be necessary for the establishment of a College, which shall be forever dedicated to ·· Christ and the Church."
This enterprise also, though in its beginning, is yet, as we firmly believe, one of the grandest movements connected with the churches of our State.
GENERAL ASSOCIATION.
An encouraging consideration in the founding of new Colleges at the West is the fact that God has so richly blest them, and is accepting them as efficient instrumentalities for the advancement of his glorious kingdom. As one among many instances of this, we may cite Beloit College, which with only a limited endowment has furnished this year for our Theological Semi- naries twenty young men. consecrated to the work of the Gospel Ministry- more than Dartmouth, Middlebury and Vermont Universities put togeth- er, and more than Williams College and Harvard united.
Should this state of things continue, our churches at the East even, may vet have to look to our new colleges at the West, founded on firm Christian foundations, and newly consecrated to Jesus, for a large proportion of the Christian Ministry, and Missionaries of the Cross.
In view of such facts, then, it cannot be that we, whom God lias stationed in full sight of the rapidly multiplying fields and ripening harvests, both in our own State and in adjacent Territories, shall fail to vigorously execute wise and far reaching plans for supplying with Christian laborers the pres- ent and prospective spiritual destitution. It is this great object that gives Washburn College a place in Christian hearts, and a claim on Chris- tian liberality.
P. MCVICAR, Chairman of College Committee.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF MISSIONS.
This report includes the time from May 1st, 1872, to the 1st of June, 1873, 13 months.
The Divine favor has been manifested by the general good health of our Missionaries, and the prosperity that has attended their work. Revivals have not been so extensive as were enjoyed the preceding year, but a good- ly number of our churches have been visited by the Holy Spirit in reviving and converting power, and their numbers have been increased, by the ad- dition of new born souls.
Twenty-two churches have been organized, five of them at county seats, and ten of them in new counties, where little, if any work had before been done by our denomination, viz : In Howard, Sumner, Harvey, Rice, Bar- ton, Russell, Ellis, Saline, Osborne and Smith counties. The others were organized in Woodson, Montgomery, Osage, Morris, Wabaunsee, Potta- wattomie, Brown, Wyandotte and Leaven worth counties. Sixteen of them have preaching once a week, or once in two weeks, the others occasionally. Nine Ministers have come into the State to engage in missionary labor, and ten who were already in Kansas, employed by other denominations, or en- gaged in other assoctations, have labored more or less during the year, unl- der the direction of the A. H. M. Society.
Two have been called away by death. Rev. Geo. B. Hitchcock, after 24 years of Pioneer missionary labor in Indiana, and 3 years in Kingston, Mo .. came to thiis State in May, 1868. For four years he was not commission - ed by the Society, choosing to preach in the destitute neighborhoods of S. E. Kansas, in connection with other occupations. But one year ago, he visit- ed Howard county, with the intention of again devoting himself to mission- ary work. After an absence of six weeks, he returned, to make arrange- ments for permanent work in that county, when he was taken sick, and on the 4th of August, was called to his rest above. Bro. Arthur L. Smith, from Chicago Theological Seminary, spent his vacation last summer with the church at Blue Rapids, with the expectation of returning to the Semi- nary, and completing his studies the present year. With a loving heart he labored faithfully for the Master, until about the close of his vacation, when he was taken sick of typhoid fever, and after ten days illness, was called home to glory.

APPENDIX.
A large area has been added to our mission field by actual occupation. Our work now extends 300 miles from the eastern border of the State, and along the A. T. & S. F. R. R. and the K. P. R. R., explorations have been made to Colorado.
The "New Departure" adopted last year has worked well. The brethren throughout the State have manifested a praiseworthy zeal, and greatly aid- ed in extending the work. by valuable suggestions. and by visiting new fields. Bro. Harvey Jones was commissioned to labor 6 months in the Ar- kansas Valley, and did good service in exploring new counties, and orga- nizing churches. Bro. Officer made two trips up the solomon Valley and found important stations that should be ocenpied, and Bros. Safford and Foster have done much to push forward the work in Jewell, Mitchell, Os- borne and Smith counties. During the year the effort has been to keep pace with inimigration, and as soon as possible, to supply those seeking homes in Kansas with the preaching of God's word. but on account of scarcity of funds, from November to April, little advance could be made, and since April, only by slow approaches has new territory been acquired. Never before in one season, were so many coming into Kansas, and the great question is, what can we do toward meeting the increasing demand for mis- sionary labor in our State, with our present forces. Cannot some of the brethren spend one. two, or even four weeks the present summer in visit- ing new counties? Much good was done the past year by such visits. Are there not some Laymen in our churches who can 'establish Sabbath Schools and hold meetings in destitute neighborhoods near them?
There are many fields now, white for the harvest in Kansas. Should this harvest of souls be gathered or lost ?
The A. H. M. Society paid, or are pledged to pay. those who were com- missioned to labor in this State the present year, $28,500. With the pres- ent stringency in the money market, we cannot expect much, if any addi- tional aid from that source. For the most part, then, additional laborers for this field must be secured by our own churches doing more toward the support of our Missionaries, and asking less from the Society, or in sharing their Missionary with some other church. Let no one he discouraged. "Hitherto the Lord has helped us." Let us trust in Him, and go forward and possess the land. S. D. STORRS.
