WIIBLITAK Nlisstosis.—A rather tomtit meeting
gathered at the chapel, Giterigrsto and Southostree•s,
on Monday evening, to ti.ar i4atemente ressectityy the
work of inissioys on corned .41 by the NVe•deyan
brettirem—Firsi they em. And then Rev. T. NeAVa
offyred prayer, and i:vv. W. Allen read the report.
378 principal stations are the seat of missions, end
85,601 is the number of chu-ch members, while 10,000
and more are im trial, And scholars number over
N 6,000 ; and there is a colonial illi•Aloti report, of which
the figum Are even larger than those given bet.re,
cg„ ge, the scholars number over 130,000. Mr. Alien
exhorted the subscribers to pay their subscription
promptly, as 12.000 bad been expended for interest
on borrowed money. In the local auxiliary the boxes
showed improvement. and £l3l odd had beets r.iisel in
the circuit, being £4, dl more than was raised four
year, since, and a decided improvement on last yore.
—Rev. Chambers, the chairman, next called on Mr.
Osborn' who g 4 ns up steam at once, and ade an
getic speech, raking whether they would like t hove
back again the money spent on missions on condition
that the work dons in the mission fields should be
undone—that New Zealanders And Red Indians should
go back from civilisation to the tomahawk and the
scalping knife' N.., they would go forward till the
glory of the Lord had filled the earth, and all nations
should see it together.—Rev. T. Neave jointed out
that the interest taken in foreign missions shows the
health of the home church. It is needer to vindicate
Christian missions. and u.eless to waste arvoitnents
with philosophers and si ientists until they have been
'sought as little childreu to the feet of the Master.
What marvelloss triumphs have the Wesleyan mission.
arias seen on the Fiji Island.! What wondrous
successes have the Church of England and the 1. ,ndon
missionaries seen in Western and Southern fries!
The estimates for our army and navy have been—from
1874 to 1878-166 millions of money, while the
Christianization of Polynesia has been effected at an
expenditure of one million only. Why 1 Christian men
have the beet of the argument in es we . Sir
Garnet Wolealey has written to Bishop Sc that
solesiesariss ought not to be seat into Zululand by
force; that the civilisation of that part is not to be
done by bullying the Zulus. Who was the greatest
bully in Zululand' Was it not John Bull? Sir Garnet
ooatinned the work was only to be done by the
devotion of godly men. Did he think all those
Scotch Highiandere, and Znglish Aimee and
soldiers sent into Zululand, were godly men?
(Hear' hear.) But the war in Zululand, it is
said, will cost £9,000,000, and Mr. Naive urged
that if our money is to be expended it should be ain-
wasted to the service of CS ist. (Apples:sa)—Rev.
Richard Allots of Wisymonth, WIN very pleas oi to
mark the interest taken in this circuit in missiousry
work, for Dorchester circuit stands fairly wed, and
could they come up about 3d. a member more, they
would be up to the average of the Bath circuit. He
sympathised with the London Missionary Society, not
only in their need of money, but also in the loss of
their devoted secretary. A. to mission work, on con.
metering the small amount of cost, and the ahortu,s of
the time occupies!, they must feel that God has been
on oar side; the society has only been working 65
years, while the successes of the last 60 or 70 years
have been (ha believed) even greater than those of
Apostolic time% - 111, re speaking and a collection
closed the meeting.
