other mission workers. Chinese Protestant Chris-
tians contributed $320,000 for church work last
.year. The Protestant day-schools have over 85,000
pupils enrolled, and the high schools and colleges
maintained by Protestant mission societies in
China are attended by over 31,000 students. Prot-
estants maintain 235 hospitals and 200 dispensa-
ries. A total of 1,822,802 patients were treated in
these institutions last year.

A Pecunrarty Suarep Brsie.— In Uganda a
strange-shaped Bible is in use. It is three inches
thick, three inches wide, and of extraordinary
length. Why this peculiar shape? Because of the
white ants, who destroy anything they can lay hold
on. Now, in Uganda a certain biscuit packed in
tin boxes of the shape mentioned above is very
popular, and the Bible Society has made the Bibles
of a shape to fit into these ant-proof tin biscuit
boxes.

Moravians 1N Panama.— The Moravians are
earnestly thinking of extending their efforts to
Panama, and a friend of their work has offered
them the means to open up the work of evangeliz-
ing the French islands of Martinique and Guade-
loupe in the West Indies.

Tur Size or Arrica.— Referring to the size
of Africa, Dan Crawford says in The Record of
Christian Worl: “Africa is far bigger than you
think. Give me the whole of India, and in it goes.
Now, the whole of China, and in that goes, too.
Plus India and China give me Australia, and in
these go easily. And still Africa, my Africa, like
Oliver Twist, asks for more. So we will put in
Europe. In it all goes, and even then I have what
I believe the Vanderbilts call marginal millions.
And yet you hear people. speaking as if, when you
are in Central Africa, you could live the life of a
sort of week-ender, and just run out to see your
friends the Joneses and Robinsons.”

lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Strong paper cover;
64 pages. Richly illustrated. Price, 30 cts.

Encouraged by the hearty welcome given the booklet

Vanji Bhumi, the Foreign Mission Board of the Missouri

Synod has sent forth this booklet. Missionary Freche,

of India, tells us in this booklet in a yery interesting way

about the family life of the East Indian missionary. The

21 fine half-tone cuts in the booklet greatly increase its

value. It would be a strange thing, indeed, if this book

did not also greatly increase the interest of the reader

in the work iitaraen missions. .

“This is the first English report of any general as-
sembly of the German Lutheran Missouri Synod. The
Seeretary’s aim has been to make this report brief, com-
plete, intelligible, and inspiring.” We assure the See-
retary that he reached his aim, and we feel certain that,
if the people knew how perfectly he had reached it, these
minutes would be read by thousands.
