faThe state of the mission, as given in
our last Report, continued with little alter
alton, during the early part of 1885. OF
the condition ofthe people in the northern
departments Of France, a brief view is
given in the following communication
made by Professor Sears, since his return
to the United States
a'' This whole region Is extremely des-
titute Of evangelical religious instruction
The population, it is we'll known, ischief-
w Catholic. Of Protestants, the greater
and stronger portion belong to the nation
al church, consisting chiefly of neoIogists
having, however, many preachers who
without personal piety preach a kind O.
dead orthodoxy, with here and there one
not more than ten or twelve in all, of a
decidedly p1ous and evangelical character
In the departments Du Nord and DA'sne
the region where we have already gained
a footing, there are, believe, but two ma
tionaI preachers Of this last description
The first seeds Of the gospel were gi'er
to this people by benevolent Eng la
DIV. a Baptist, who carried the Bible tc
the poor, and laid open to themits precious
contents Afterwards several mlssiona
ries, such as Messrs. PVT, Porchat, ant
others, preached more or less in this neigh
borhood. For some time past, these it'll
churches had been left to themselves
The visit which we made, PARTICULAR,
the efforts, public and private, Of br. Will
Inafth, were followed by the happiest con
SEQUENCES. The churches wished TO en-
ter into a direct connection with him an

begged Us 10 do oil in our power not
let their brethren on this side the Atlantl
forget them, or neglect them. TO me, /
particular, as one about to visit my nativ
land, they ohen repeated this charge
pressing me by the hand, and weepln
