amounted to 140,000, a gain of 5000 a year over
the previous twelve months. ‘The communicant
members in the native churches now number over
222,000; adherents, upwards of five millions. There
are in the foreign mission schools one million and
a half of boys and girls under Christian instruction.

Mission Work or Hinpu Curistrans.— A
Christian Hindu teacher in Nellore, John Rangiah,
seven years ago was sent to open up Christian work
among the Hindus who had emigrated to Natal,
Africa. As a fruit of this first foreign missionary
work of Hindu Christians, six churches have been
organized, and in nine other places little congrega-
tions meet for worship. ‘The enterprise is wholly
self-supporting.

Tne Lasorers AnE Few. — In the large mis-
sion field of China, as in all other mission fields,
the want of laborers is painfully felt. It is reported
that many districts could be occupied if the laborers
were at hand. From one district a missionary re-
ceived an urgent call telling him: “We long for you
as one longs for rain in the seventh and the eighth
month.” ;

A Move, Arrican Kinc.— A missionary in
Africa writes from Angola: “The Christian village
of Hombo is a proof of the power of the Gospel. At
daybreak every morning the horn is blown, and the
people assemble at the king’s house to hear the Word
of God read, and to praise and pray. Witchcraft
and superstition have fallen under the power of the
Gospel, and the heathen are taking knowledge of ‘it.
The native church at Loanda contributes $17.00 a
month for the support of native workers on a native
station in the interior of Angola.”

Thank God and Take Courage!

Believers should ever feel gratitude for the past
and confidence for the future. Paul thanked God
and took courage, Acts 28, 15.
