CRURCII MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

The friends of this evangelical missionary society had
several opportunities of hearing about it last week, for
sermons were preached at St. Mary's, St John's, and
Christ's church. on Sunday last, the missionary dewta-
Lion heing the Rev G. Monis, late missionary in CUia,
and the Rey Mr. Nicol ,a coloured clergyman.
The meeting for St. Mary's parish was held on Monday
evening, in the National Schoolroom, which was well
filled. _ _ _

The Rector, Rev. T. 011EATIM, presided, and was ably
supported on the platform. Mr. (3eaves, stated that he
intended to enjoy the evening, with the addresses of the
missionaries, and not to make • speech himself, but
before calling on the missionaries, he asked the treasurer
to read the financial report
Mr. R. if. ELIOT, stated that the amount raised in
Macomb', Regis had been about £l5O. and among the
details given were collections at St Mary's church.
£5B 13s. ; at Christ's church, £lO 13s. 7d. meetings at St.
Mary's, ZS ; besides this, meetings at Radipole had pro-
duced £3 la sd. ; collected after sermon there, £4 es. 3d,
other sums making up the amount to £lO lla 3d, so that
over .£101) had been sent by Si, Mary's and Radipole. Mr.
Eliot said that last year several very heavy legacies were
left to the society in this district, and he feared that,
unless very great efforts were made, we should find •
great falling-off in the stun total this year.
The Rev. G. Mogi; was called on to give a picture of
his work in China, which he said would require three
months to give • full picture of instead of three quarters
of an hour.

The missionaries also addressed an audience at St.
John's on the following evening; but before proceeding
to that meeting, we must notice that—
The Ramon in his closing remarks fat St. Mary's
school) observed that the Church missionary Society
wanted the money of the people but there was something
more important; it also wanted their pravegs. At home
it had its trials and abroad also: and be asked their
especial prayers on behalf ef the society at this crisii, of
Ito work in Colombo, Celyon. Ile had recently received
from this place a weekly newspaper, and he never read so
wonderful a testimony to the work of the Church
Missionary Society as contained in that journal it was
almost entirely tilled with accounts showing the noble
dissinterested character of the missionaries of this society,
and protested against the conduct of the boy bishop
towards the missionaries, labouring in that far distant
conntry before ever he was born. They might be assured
that it was by the labours of such men as these that God
wrought His mighty work, not with much noise but
steadily and silently. He earnestly entreated them to
offer up their prayers to the Almighty for the continued
success of these his faithfnl servants in their most glorious
work,. and to give substantial evidence of their interest in
the work, remembering that it was required of • steward
that he be found faithful, and that he and they were
ste wards of the manifold grace of God.
The meeting closed in the usual way.
On Tuesday evening St. John's schools were crowded, to
hear the two missionaries.
_ _

The vicar, Rev. J. Stepheturon, presided.
The meeting commenced by singing the well known
hymn of Bishop Heber "From Greenland's icy mountains."
The Rev J. STZPIIMISON, said it was often wondered
how their offertories kept so close together, so that year
after year, there was much the same amount, and it was
remarkable that in 1874 and 1875, they had received
almost the same sum. in 1675, £134 13a. 3d ; the items
being Offertory (September), .C.ll 13.; moiety of
December offertory, £125. ; meeting, £7 to. 3d: subscrip-
tions, .C.S7 las. Pd: Boxes and cards. .C 34 15t 3d • legacy
(Cent Swatridge), £2OO :total £331 13s. 3d ; printing .1241.
total £334 Os. 9: In 1874 the amount was £135 las Old.
There was a little falling off, but the totals were
very much the same each yw. He hoped next year there
would he, instead, a great step in advance. Last year the
amount to their credit in the society's books was .Cll4,
Z2OO having come from a legacy by Captain Ssmstridge.
Since Christmas, 1575, there had been contributed from
St. John's boys schools £3 Re. 911. In the girl's school there
was a good missionary spirit, £310., had been raised, and
they were also doing needlework for the ruisasionaries. On
Sunday the collection amounted to within a few shillings
of .L. 14 rather lean than last year. He felt that there was
on eloquence at these meetings like the eloquence of facts:
and, they had to.night those who had lean in the mission
field, one theer dear old Dorset friend, whose name was
known to every friend of the mission cause in Dorsetshire,
the Rev. Geo. Motile. (Applause.)
The Rev. G.O. Nicot., a coloured clergman, expressed
his deep gratitude for the cordial way in which they had
received him. In every parish he and his dear wife had
been thoroughly well received : and he understood that to
be, because they were the fruits of missionary labsires
that have been carried on for years mid years in Sierra
Leone. Just 2:4 years ago, he himself was ordained a
clargyman of the Church of England, and sent out to
minister to his countrymen. These were facts that the
veriest infidol could not get over. Sierra Leone is not
only Christianised but civilised and it is not now •
, missionary field. (Heer.) When the first slaves were
taken from the holds of slave ships, to Sierra Leone, it was
a mission field. His own father and mother were taken
' there and converted, their habits were changed, as were
those of all the Africans. When converted, the Africans
became quite • different people, before that they cared
little for their bodice, went about with only a piece of
cloth round their loins, their houses were like our hay-
stacks, only smaller, but when converted they cared for
themselves, clothed their bodies, and built their houses,
like ours. There is not now one European minister in
Sierra Leone, containing 45,000 inhabitants, but native
pastors are doing the work. All of them have gone
through college, and can read their Greek Testament,
some studied Hebrew, and some Arabic, by which they
were qualified to preach to their own countrymen. The
churches are now self.supporting. And last year £l,BOO
./.1/ collected. They had other collections and pew rents,
the latter going to the repairs of the church. The native
church in Ferris Leone is cow mainly composed of free-
born children, the descendants of slaves, but now well.
dressed, in good situations. Ile did not ask for help for
Sierra Leone ; but for his own mission field, the Gambia.
God had blessed his labourers there for seven years, and
they had established seven missions, the Governor had
given £.5 a year, all the officials had helped, and .Cl3O was
raised, as they all felt it was a good work. He wanted
help, not only in money, but another man, and if the
society would take it up, they would see great results, they
could establish missions, right up within a short distance
of the Nile.

The Rev. GEORGIC Moutx, from China, was rather
proud to be • Dorset man. Ile was an evidence of the
power of God to overcome swinishness for it was hard
for him to leave England, Donsetshire, and especially
home. But when he felt that the Lord had forgiven him
a great debt and he could to nothing great enough, he '
therefore wished to do what was most disagreeable to
acknowledge the debt. There was much of wrong feeling
in that, and God had disppointed him, for he did not find
China so unpleasant as he expected; he found God there,
and home there. Great differences existed between the
African and Chinese heathen. In England the
inhabitants were barbarians : the Chinese were civilised,
paying great attention to dress. Another point of con-
trast between heathen and heathen was that in India and
China there was a native literature some thousands of
years old. The missionaries there bail not only to learn
the spoken langnage, hut also the written language,
which is most difficult Sancrit has agli letters, hue
Chimers for the Bible requires 5,000 or 6,000 characters
really not letters all. An additional difficulty is that this
language is quite differently spoken in different pleas, as
at Ningpo, Foocho w, Amoy. Svratow, and Canton, at all
of which places the pronunciation is as different as that
of the figures 1,2, 3,4, kc., in the different European
nations. Yet from Pekin, Cores, Hochin China, the
Malay peninsula, one Bible is serviceable. Far away
from his mission he found some coolies talking suite a
different dialect, that could understand Ida writing and
his tracts, lie should often he glad In use English to
the people in China, but that wag of no use, nor could he
UM an interpreter; that was p. most painful process. Dr.
merrison's dictionary °undated of six quarto volumes,
with no alphabetical arrangement, and he could not help
thinking. ',Who is sufficient for these things r But God
was able to help, to quicken his servants' powers, and he
was now able to speak in two dialects and to read his
Bible almost as well in Chinese es in English. In China
there is a great deal of outward decorum. but • great
deal of evil connected with the female sex; they iire

obey her mother-in-law, which is one of the cardinal
virtues; but they are almost wholly undec.ided, so that it
