Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twenty-Fifth Annual Report of the American Colonization Society: With the Abridged Proceedings of the Annual Meeting, and of the Board of Directors, at Washington, January 18, 1842 Our thanks and gratitude are due to the Almighty Ruler of the Universe for the favor which he has shown to this Society, and all its interests since our last anniversary. The tokens of his love have been manifest and often repeated. At no time have we enjoyed more evidences of his providential regard, nor been more encouraged to trust to his power and wisdom to carry forward this great enterprise to its glorious completion. We recognise, as applicable to our plans and undertakings, the great principle that except the Lord build the hou e, the builders labor in vain: and except the Lord watch the city, the watchman waketh in vain. We have no confidence in our own councils, or our best directed efforts, apart from his divine blessing. It is, therefore, with no ordinary degree of pleasure that we are able to re cognise the good and of our God upon us, and his benevolent aid afforded to us in all the labors of the past year. For the general and increas ing prosperity of the cause in this country; for the favorable 'impression made upon the minds of the colored people; for the great liberality which many friends have manifested in their contributions for the manner in which our vessels have been protected while sailing the bosom of the mighty deep for the preservation of the colony in times of extreme peril; for the general health which has prevailed; for the advancement in industry, education, and general improvement; for the outpouring of his spirit on the churches and for many other blessings, we are indebted to Him who ruleth among the nations, and whose dominion is over all.
