Auditors.

Rev. George Ripley of Boston, and Rev. Bernard Whitman, of Waltham, were appointed to collect votes. The officers of the last year were reelected, with the exception of Mr Parkman and Mr Gannett, who declined a reelection to the offices which they had held the year past. Thanks were voted to these gentlemen for their services. Rev. Mr Gannett, of Boston, was placed on the Executive Committee, in the room of Mr Parkman; and Rev. Mr Young, of Boston, was chosen to fill the office of Domestic Secretary. The Association adjourned to meet at seven o'clock, in the Federal street Church.

A heavy rain prevented the church from being filled at the hour of adjournment; but before eight o'clock it was crowded. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr Harding, of New Salem. The annual Report of the Domestic Secretary, on behalf of the Executive Committee, was then read.

SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

OF THE

AMERICAN UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION

ON DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.

THE Committee, to whose care is entrusted the business of this Association, will in the present as in former Reports, give an account of the manner in which they have executed their trust, and will add such remarks as seem to them pertinent to this anniversary.

The influence of the Association has been more widely and powerfully felt the last year than in any previous year, in consequence of the activity into which the Tract department has been brought by the excellent arrangements and the indefatigable fidelity of the General Agents. The result which was anticipated from the extensive connexions and well known zeal of the present Agents has been realized. Within the last year the amount of sales from the Depository has almost reached nine hundred dollars, or more than double the whole amount received by the Association for the sale of tracts in the four years which preceded the appointment of the present agents. It is a pleasant circumstance, that a large number of our tracts have been sent to London, orders for them having been received from Great Britain to the value of three hundred and twentyseven dollars.

The monthly publication of the first series has been continued, and some additions have been made to the
