THE HANGCHOW MISSION.

To tAt Alitor.

Srt,—ln compliance with your request I send you
brief account of the monthly Church Missionary meeting
held in our Schoolroom last evening. As it was observed
that some of our heartiest frienes were not present on
this occasion, it is right to explain that my father would
not have Axed the meeting for an evening pre-occupied
by services in two if not three churches of the twit if
our regular evening, Monday, hod not been chimed for
the annual meeting of • most important church a:M.4y,
and Tuesday for • lecture in the Townhall, which, it
was believed, many of our neighbours would wish to
attend. Our meeting notwithstanding was very fairly
attendee, and the °collection not below the average. My
father was able, I thank God, to take his place amongst
us again, and to open and close the meeting with the
reeding of Holy Scripture and Prayer. My subject was
the Chinese language; the choice of which I jellified in
the following sentence with which my paper opened :
"A request I male before I left you in IgM, for prayer
on my behalf, that I might be graciously assisted in
learning the Chinese langusge, and which God has
granted to an exteot that I, at lama, little expected,
made it reasonable that! should give you, if possible, in
one of these monthly lectures some illustration of the
jaculiarities of that lenguage." The lectures selected
for illustration were the independense of Chinese mu-
tr.sted with the composite and derived nature of
English; its monopyllabic character; the small number,
hardly five hundred, of its distinct pounds ; the dis-
crimination, amongst these sounds, of words of different
meaning by the complicated system of the wr;tten
characters, by aesents or tones of utterance, by coupling
and grouping two or more syllables of similar or of eon.
treated sense, and by classifiers. I spoke also of the
careful diatination between aspirated and unaspirated
initias, and of the total absence of inflexions, whether
of nouns or verbs; and I closed with an interesting
extract from Du Halde's history of Chins, which relates
• spirited discussion between a scientific Jesuit mia
Amery, Father Partunin, in the early part of last
century with the eldest son of the Emperor, on the
comparative excellence of the Chinese and Manobow or
of European languages. In spite of the dry nature of
my subject there was no sign of Bagging attention
during the whole length of the paper. This language
Ii now • medians for communicating the Hole Gospel of
our Lord and Seviour to many hundred millions of thole.
And I cannot but echo the wish with which my father
arced the meeting, namely, that we and our fellow
townsmen May all be led to a deeper interest for our-
selves in the Gospel of Salvation, and no stirred op to
cowmen ourselves about the spiritual condition of both
neighbours and distant nations. The nest meeting will
be held, God willing, on Monday evening, the 9th of
Match, at half-past seven o'elock.—l am, Sir, your
obod lent servant,

G. R. YOULE.
