India cannot read, and ninety-nine-hundredths of
the females are illiterate. Religiously the people
of India are divided thus: Hindus, 217 million;
Mohammedans, 67 million; Buddhists, 11 million;
Animists, 10 million; Sikhs, 3 million; Christians,
5 million; Jains, 114 million. There are almost
12,000 Protestant mission-stations in India, over
5,000 foreign mission workers, and 43,000 Indian
Christian workers. In the various Protestant mis-
sion-schools over 400,000 pupils are receiving Chris-
tian training, and in the various hospitals over
2 million patients are annually treated. The Lu-
theran Ziegenbalg began his work in India in 1706;
the Baptist Carey went to India in 1793; and the
American missions in India date from’ 1812.

A Most Appropriate Mission Box.

To meet a real demand, we offer this splendid Mission
Box to our readers, fully convinced that we are in a posi-
tion to offer them a mission box that is bound to draw
the attention of old and young at a price that is remark-
ably low. This little Colored solicitor for missionary gifts
can be appropriately placed in the church, the school, the
Sunday-school, the society hall, or the home. We are sure
that this collection device will increase the donations for

missions, since it is a standing appeal to every one that
sees it not to forget the great work of spreading the Gos-
pel. Many a nickel and dime will find its way into the
mission treasury that would be lost to the cause, were it
not for the silent, but insistent appeal of this little kneel-
ing Negro boy in his white garment, who gratefully and
most politely acknowledges even the smallest gift by a nod
of his shapely head. Size, 5711 inches. Price, $2.60,
plus 15 cents for postage. Order from Mr. Ewald Schuett-
ner, 323 Merchants-Laclede Building, St. Louis, Mo.
