The divine blessing has constantly rested upon the noble old church, which has gone steadily on, like a powerful ocean steamer, well-manned, well-equipped, well-freighted, and well guided by the compass of God's infallible word.
Last year the church rendered a signal service to the cause of Foreign Missions by erecting a "David Gregg Hospital" and a "Theodore L.Cuyler Church" in Canton, China.

They are both under the supervision of the Rev.Albert A.Fulton, who went out to China from our Lafayette Avenue flock, and has been a most energetic and successful missionary for more than twenty years.
My ministry at large has brought a needed rest, not by idleness, but by a change in the character of my employment.

Instead of a weekly preparation of sermons, has come the preparation of more frequent contributions to the religious press.

Instead of pastoral visitations have been the journeyings to different churches, or colleges, and universities and Young Men's Christian Associations for preaching services.

I doubt whether any other dozen years of my life have been more crowded with various activities.
