The Fifty-sixth Annual Meeting of the American Baptist Home Mission Society will be held in the Calvary Church, Washington, D. C., Wednesday, May 16, 1888, beginning at 7.30 P. M. of that day, and concluding with the Thursday night session. This will give but four instead of six sessions as hitherto. Condensation in reports and addresses will be necessary. In accordance with the request of the Education Committee appointed last May, the Executive Board relinquish Wednesday forenoon and afternoon to the Educational Convention, which has been called for that date.
