Excerpt from The Jubilee Services of the London Missionary Society: Held in London in the Month of September, 1844 Under the influence of these views and sentiments, the Directors of the Society invited their constituents, -the long-tried and generous friends of the Institu tion, - to signalise the year of its Jubilee by special efforts, appropriate to the occasion, and worthy of the cause. The appeal was received as they anticipated, with great cordiality and Christian kindness, and prepar ations were accordingly made to commence the fiftieth year of the Society's operations by a series of appro priate services in the metropolis. The results of these arrangements are presented to the Christian public in the following pages. These records will doubtless be read with deep attention and lively feeling by multitudes who had not the privilege of a personal attendance on the Jubilee solemnities and by future generations they will probably be regarded with af fectionate veneration, similar to that with which we now review the first missionary productions of our departed fathers, the founders of the Institution.
