improved under their tuition, and great many ladies
Of his seraglio had joined the Temperance Society
They had expended about s5OOO and onverted three
Armenans whilst they were at Constantinople two
Of these unfortunately had been driven into exile and
the third had ran away to this country, and was now
in the room. (Here there was great excitement
among the ladies' all of whom wanted to see whether
he was handsome or not Still there was cause for
great rejoicing because If the two young ArmenIans
were baRished into the unnhabted wilde, they could
spread the seeds Of the gospel there Besides all
had gone well, there would have been room Tor
doubt but persecution proves that God WORK has
succeeded Satan would not have set about scoarg
ing them. But they wanted more money and more
prayer. In the present day the church members
prayed thus "Lord look down apon the Heathen
and shower thy salvation upon their souls !; NOW,
nay dear sisters and brothers this will not do TINS
must be altered "the heather" comprise 600 oo00oO
of souls and it will not do to despatch the whole OF
'em in lamp in this way; you must pray Tor EN-
more in detail just You would if you were praying
for Mary and Martha and Fanny, children OF your
own family; and then Ged who hearkens to prayer,
will look after them particularly, stretch forth has
strsng arm among them, and do wondrous things
Mr.. Champion missionary from Ginani, South At
RIGA, next spoke. The mission there was broken up
by the great yrant Dngaan, King Of the Zulus. There
was great deal to discourage them; a white is
bug-bear in South Africa; there are no rail reads
there-no steamers there-the missionaries had to
travel in oxwagons, and this was very dscoaragIng
They use the name of white man to scare children
with-this is very discouragng-because Christ says
suffer little children to unto me- Tor OF such Is
the Kingdom of Heaven;" and we want to take em
to Christ, and they're scared at us. We canttravel
more than 20 miles aday-and then we have to work
to build houses-thsre are no houses there
this is very discouraging Then there so many
cleeks in the language. In the word for " book 1t
occurs three times; "poo- o-ko-ko''-that's the
word fer book-harl to pronounce-all this is very
discouragng. Then Dingaan is king Of that country
he's adespot-aows his subjects no liberty-no cleo
and souls in a terrible way-yet he's a sonversable
man; talked to him about the Gospel, and he list
ened and said in his language that the Gospel all
stuff and that we were ali humbugs. This is very
dscouraging And Dingaan every now and then
kills some of his chiefs-T they get too many wives
cattle, Dingaan seizes them-accuses them OF
trying TO be greater than himself and kills them and
takes their wives and cattle-all this is very DIS
eeuragng. If we 90 to read the Bible to them, they
say, Stop white man, don't tell any thing in that
book, Dngaan has not ordered us to hear it-Dingaa
read il himself. All this is very discouragng. Din
l gaan is every where. Dngaan is their idol
their God Then Dingaan went to with the
Dutch farmers, and the land was full Of war
and bloodshed and we had to leave for fear Of
being killed. Dinsaan has made circuit 200 mile,
wide all round his country and allows one to dwell
there; and he killed SO of the Dutch Farmers, whe
went there and this began the in February 1898
and after left, the English sent an armament tt
keep the peace. All this is very discouraging; but
we can't help it. God has caused it to happen fol
our good, to humble u.s. and if you wish the mission
airy cause to succeed, you must offer up money
and more prayers and God will bless you and sanctfy
the offering.
The Rev. DIR. Tucker rose.-There was cause I,
rejoice at the gloom; if messenger after mes
senger should in with bad tidings, still, like
job, he would bless the name of the Lord. But al
mand to preach the gospel began at Jerusalem, but
did not end tn $50 preach the gospel to all the
EARTH" and nothing but idleness hndered this. Eve
ry minister should be a foreign missionary. There
was room for encouragement. Remember what Br
tain 300 years ago. then only ladies and gentle
men were allowed to read the Bibe now, they are
the only who do not read it, remember what
England was, and what she is, and have hope even
Cor China In 1857 there were more conversions by
missionaries than in all the % years before. The
| Bible is read in l60 languages. We have 1000 or.
dained missionaries among the heather, 100000 saw
age converts, and belt of missionary stations sncir
cling the world. China is yet in darkness we mn
do something for China-it was called the Celestial
Empire, and the most celestial thing in il the
| tea. Religion must be regulated in China; if one
King or Emperor will not do it, he must be dethron
ed, and another will. Demand Of me, said God and
will give thee the Heather for thine inheritance
and the uttermos parts Of the earth for thy
| sion He will do this. The political horizon prom
ses much for missionaries; all the noise of the great
changes and Political vulsons over the globe are
like the sounding of the great trumpet of the archan-
gel Michael, before the coming Of Christs kingdom
When will the dark places Of the earth be GIFTED
up! The church says, /" Whenl" aad the poor mis-
sionary says, "When''' and Echo SAYS, "Whenl''
I'll tell ysu when! When we pray more and raw
more for the cause of Christ. Then and not tiff
then will the knowledge Of the Lord csver the earth
as the waters cover the great deep. IL is not much
We want. Only S35 S5l 81 now to paw the debt. and
about $50, OOo for the next year.
The Rev. Mr.. Alder rose-He was Secretary Of
the great Foreign Wesleyan Missionary Society in
London. Missionaries were immense nen-thcy
