The pupils in the schools connected with
these nations, were $4,000, and not 3S, as
you have erroneousy stated; and the num-
Der Of church members was 37,9l9; most
Of this number have said, were converted
heathcn, an expression which you do not
seem to underestimate simple explanation
may suffice. The missionaries are always
included in the mission churches, and be-
sides them, there are generally about their
stations, a few European or American
christians, who are associated with them.
Such was the result of the labours Of for
eign missionaries two years ago, since
which time the most encouraging accounts
have been received from number Of the
stations, particularly those in Bengal, Cey-
lon, Bombay, and the Sandwich and South
Sea Islands; so that we have good reason
to believe, that could we have exact returns
at this titne, from % to so per cent would
be added to the statements already made.
Such are the prospects which animate the
friends Of missions in their perseverlng en-
deavours, aud they have the fullest conf
dcnce, "a a most respectable correspond

controversy, that the cause Of missions is
