than Rangoon is to the south. You might
gradually descend from the British post
or ascend from the Burman capital, as po-
litical feelings might render most judi
cious, to Manipur, an interesting little
State on the line between Sudiya and Ava,
and thus establish central station to sup
port the extremities Of your line of opera
tons. The nearest missionary station al
ready occupied, is Gowahatti in Assam,
further from Sudiya to the west than Ma
nipur is to the south, and where the AS
samese only is spoken; so that there is
not the least danger of collision with any
other body"

We are happy to inform our readers
that the persecution at this station men
toned at the q Qse of the preceding VOL
ume, had ceased in May last, the date of
Mr. Howard's last letter. The Mission
had sustained, however, new af1iction
in the death of Too-noo, one of the native
assistants. Mr. and Mrs Webb had re-
turned to Rangoon from Maulmein, with
er they had gone for the restoration of Mrs

been any time when preaching and the
distribution of the Word of God would tell
to better advantage here than now
There is, it is true, a good deal of fear,
but some will hear and read and itcan no
longer be done with indifference

Mr. Jones writes,-
By Divine permission, we have hac
a series Of meetings at our shed, five mile:
from the Mission house; we commenced
! on Friday before the last Sabbath in Sep

meetings were solemn and encoura ging
though, from some temporary circumstan
, ces, the attention Of the people was nc
equal to that which was apparent on tn
same occasion last year. Sunday wa
quite pleasing day. Two males an
three females told US of the mercies of Go

Tibet AND CHINA ACCESSIBLE THRO'
BURMAH.
Feb. 3, 1885. Visited Meaday, a con-
siderable village six miles above Ummer-
apoora. This is a Chinese mart. Large
caravans come in from the province Of
Yunnan during the cold season, and ex-
change their goods for the productions of
this country | had an opportunity of see
ing the Chinese just as they are in their
own country. Their dress is intended to
shield them against cold, and in this they
resemble the Shans as we'll as in their
general features, except that the Chinese
are size larger, and are inclined to be
portly like the Germans. They are more
negligent in their dress and filthy in their
persons than the Burmans The most
prominent trait in the expression of the
eountenance is dizziness, combined with
selfsatisfaction. They have nothing OF
that lofty, consequential air that marks so
prominently the Burman character, and
yet they appear to be equally proud and
ecclesiastical
| found many Chinese able to speak
Burman, though no one that could speak
| fuently: AS near as could learn, their
spoken language is entirely different from
that spoken at Canton and the eastern
provinces, though their written language
is the same through the whole empire.
eendeavored to ascertain what intercourse
they, had with surrounding nations, partic
ularly Thibet and / found considerable
trade was carried on With Lassa, the CAPT
| tai of the 'Thibetians, but was not able tc
learn. any thing more. The distance tc
some Of the nearest towns in China is not
probably, more than 200 miles, as cara:
van makes the journey in 20 days.
.Bomau, the most northern city of Bur
nah, is said to be but 2 or DAVIS journey
from Y unnan.
1t will be day oftriumph to thechurct
of God, when her sons shall be permitted
to make their way up the Irrawaddy into
Thibet and China, and there proclaim the
redemption OF Christ. PraverfuI Deepen
dence ON the promises Of God, will nc
doubt Be succeeded with permission to oc
cupy those hitherto inaccessible countries
AS the door is now open in Burmah fol-

is quite certain if We will only occupy Ave
faithfully few years. we should be per,
United to plant branch of the mission in
Beomau, and then we are onthe borders O
Chna and Thibet. Let a press be put In
operation IN Ava, as the most efectua
I means OF enlightening the minds, and Sc,
curing the confidence of government men
and at the same time let the Gospel be
preached faithfully to all classes Of people

assistants be directed to travel incessantl,
