Thirty-seventh Annual Report of the American Colonization Society, JANUARY 17TH, 1854. Anson G. Phelps, Esq., for many years the President of the New York State Colonization Society, and a vice president of this Society since the year 1844, closed his earthly labors the 30th of November last. He was a large contributor to the funds of this Society; and as one of its Life Directors, was always present at its meetings. This day we celebrate the Thirty-seventh Anniversary of the American Colonization Society. We render thanksgiving to our Father in Heaven for the abundant blessings received, and we supplicate a continuance of His gracious care. Pre-eminently His, and for the advancement of His kingdom on earth, is the cause in which we are engaged. Whatever of good it has already accomplished, is the result of His controlling Spirit ; and all its capacity for enlarged achievement in coming time gives promise that His almighty arm will carry it forwardzation Society, to be paid in ten annual inthrough every obstacle, to a triumph more splendid than we should otherwise dare to anticipate. Since the last annual meeting, several of our earliest and ablest friends and patrons have rested from their labors. The Hon. Jacob Burnet of Cincinnati, Ohio, departed this life the 27th April last. He was elected a vice president of this Society in the year 1836. He was a liberal annual contributor to its funds, and left it a handsome legacy at his death. The Hon. Simon Greenleaf of Cambridge Mass., who was elected a vice president in the year 1848, and was one of its ablest advocates, died beloved and greatly lamented, the 5th of October, 1853. He was eminently and emphatically the friend of the colored man, both in this country and in Africa. He left a legacy of $5,000 to the New York State Coloni stalments of $500 each; and a conditional bequest of $50,000 towards founding a theological department of a college in Liberia, as appears in item seventeen of his will which reads as follows: Seventeenth-It has been contemplated by the friends of African Colonization to erect and found a college in Liberia, Africa; and it is understood that some incipient steps have been taken for that purpose by its friends in Boston, Massachusetts. Now in case the enterprise, which I consider an important one, shall proceed, and $100,000 shall be raised for that purpose in this country, then, and in such case, I give to my executors the sum of $50,000, to be applied by them in such way as shall, in their judgment, best effect the object; and I wish my executors especially to have in view the establishment of a theological department in said college, to be under the |
