The activities of the Association, with names and functions of participants in the Meeting and their doings, are detailed. With reports on foreign and domestic missions, colportage, and an exhortation to care for the souls of "the colored population of our country. They are alienated from religious influences, because no effort is made in their behalf. They go to the house of God feeling they have but little part or lot in these matters. Even the minister often forgets that part of his congregation." The Circular Letter, the Association's Constitution, a table showing statements of "money sent up by the churches," and a two-page table with name of each church, its post office, district, minister, and clerk, are also printed.
