How Collections are made at Abeokuta.
From a recent journal of the Rev. D. Williams, a Native Pastor, we take the following, which may convey a significant hint to some of our own readers:—
June 29th, 1874.—Had our missionary meeting for collection towards the Native Pastorate. It was opened with singing, reading a portion of Scritpure from Hebrews vi., and prayer. After having given a short preliminary speech, I called upon a few gentlemen to give speeches, which they performed with avidity, and the few people were moved, after having given once their subscriptions, to promise more. No hope of realising such an amount up to that of last year on account of the hardness of the present time, consequent upon the fall of trade, which has thrown many merchants into a great distress. I received only a few amounts and promises. Being not satisfied with the collection of the day, I gave notice of another to be held in a fortnight.
