The Committee Oh the China Mission,
through its chairman the Rev. Dr. Ful>
Ter, made its report, and is as follows:
Tue Committee on The China Mission
can Scarcely employ the calm language
suitable 10 a report, in speaking of this

Mexcr belure has there been presented
to tho eye Of Christian philanthropy
such an inviting f. Id foI labor. - s
The history and cllaracler'of the Chr

ought at once 10 engage the attention OF
every member Of our Churches. Cen.

arms of Tanner lane, thus rescued this

ambition Of Rome seemed aboutto en-

God again interposed and frustrated Je-
sui,ism by its own duplici'y. Late
events have conspired TO break down
that strange policy which hitherto sealed
up China from the influence of the
truth, and TO throw open her teeming
millions to The zeal and love ofChris'

has, within few months, secured fol
the cross advantages which are really
denied them on the conlinen, Of Chris.
