There must be some--we hope many--of our
readers, who are willing, if not glad, to turn q.
side from the beaten round Of newspaper topics,
politics, Finance, and War; to consider sub.
jects not less important, and more universal in
their interest 10 mankind.
Christianity has now been nearly two thou
sand years in the world. During that time, il
has progressed from the age Of Martyrdom 10
that Of Persecution, and from that of Persecution
to that Of Liberty. Under Mortyrdom, it grew.
against Persecution, it conquered. Wih Lii
berry, il harmonizes with Science, and combats
with Philosophy. Because, in this latter form
Of growth, its conquesls are not separately dis.
tnguished from those Of Science, Letters and
Philosophy, some have very superfciay con.
cluded that ii did not grow at all. But this is
the most erroneous Of all opinions. What was
the discovery, settlement, independence, and
selEgovernmcnt Of America, but one ofthe most
glorious triumphs of Christianity What was
the conquest of British India but the Initial step,
in the overthrow of all the Brahmic Paganisml
What was The opening Of the Chinese porls, but
the opening Of broad path, which leads the
Christian Ministry 10 the Temples Of Bhud and
the Schools of Confuciusl What is our settle
ment Of Oregon. and the soon to be made Rail-
road over the northern Andes, but grand high
way, over which Christianity, rolling with com.
merce, from the shores Of the Atlantic to those
of the Pacific, shall have completed the circle of
Earth and the Cycle of Timel Then will Art,
Science, and Philosophy revisit the ancient Gar.
dens Of the word-renew their glory in the sun
light Of Christianity, and re-echo The voices of
the Prophets, in lands where they long have
slept.
Too many forget, that Christianity is no long
er the Enemy. but the Friend, Confdant and As.
sociate Of Science and Philosophy; for Science
is no longer "alsely so called" All branches
acknowledge have now become, like the seven
primary colors 10 the white Light-only so ma
NY elements in the great mass Of Truth. As
such, they lend illustration to Divine Law, and
make moro lovely and beautiful and varied the
whole landscape ofChristian civilization.
We shall not pause, however, to consider this
deeply interesting subject. Our object here is
to give slight sketch Of the progress of the
Missionary Societies. 1t has been thought by
many, that foreign Missions have not accom-.
pished very much; because they have not &C.
complshed ALL 1t seems to us that this is both
an unfair and unreal view Of the work. 1t will
be found, OH examination, that the Missionary
Societies have accomplish as much, or more,
than could reasonably be expected of the
same numbe" Of Agents. We have digested
from Tables prepared for, and published in the
Foreign Missionary Chronicle, the following
view Of Protestant Missions. 1t will correct the
msapprehensons of many persons, as to the
real progress Of tho Missionary Cause;

Arrival Of Gen. ScoH-Instruciions from Santa

BY the arrival of the schooner Della, Captain
Ham, we have dates from the city to the 20lh of
February.
Gen. Scott arrived at Tampico on the 18Th ult.
The General was looking in excellent health,
and Tampco was alive with excitement. The
Mexicans had the utmost curiosity TO sec the
"groat general" Of whom they heard so much.
Quite the most important news by this arrival
is the reported evacuation Of Vera Cruz, by OF.
der Of Santa Anna. This news was received
here in the following letter from most rcspec-
table source:
TAMPIco, Feb. 10, 1917.
This afternoon the mail carrier from Vera Cruz
arrived bringing letters for foreign merchants in
this city, which stated that the commander of
ihe Mexican forces at Vera Cruz hod received
orders from Santa Anna to Withdraw all the for
Ces from that city and march them into the in
ieror, and il is supposed by all now, that Vera
Cruz will be occupied by our woops without a
blow being struck.
Preparations were making at Tampico for the
embarkalion of the troops with rapidly.

Achilles Morris Of the Illinois volunteers. lie

litary honors.
Extract from the Editorial Corresp Ondcnee Of
the Picayane.
TANPIco, Feb. 10, 1917.
have seen an extract from a letter written at
San Luis Polosi on the 9th inst. by Mexican
officer to his friend in this place. This extract
states that Santa Anna was to march upon SaItl-
lopreparaIcry to attacking Monterey; that Urea,
with some 5000 troops nj Victoria, was TO attack
MaIamoras, and that both expeditions must prove
successful. The writer INDUCES in the most san.
gulne expressions.
He says "the Yankees will see a strong blow
struck against them, and be made to pay dearly
for what they have done" 1t is pretty certain
that Santa Anna is at Satillo, and il is even re.
ported he has engaged Gen. Taylor This, how.
ever, We do not believe in Tampico | must
confess that the extract Of the letter to which
here allude gives me some concern. ave shall
give the Yankees some hot work in the North
while they are marching on Vera Cruz" is the
confdant language Of The writer ofths extract,
who is none other Than the private Secretary of
Santa Anna. or this ! am altogether well as

The reader will see, by this table, that the
Missionary enterprise is in India conducted upon
the true method ofintroducing n new civilization
among people. This is by employing natire
workers. In India, we see a strong body ofna.
live workers employed, whose agency is chiefly
in the great number Of Schools, which show, as
above, no less than sixty thousand scholars.
The Mission to the Karens, in Burmah under
the charge ofhe Baptsls, is one of the most re-
markably interesting and successful in the world.
Any reader would be pleased and absorbed, in
reviewing its History.
Five-sixths of the Indian Missions are under
the care of the English Missionaries--cheAy

TO have been very successful.

The great body Of Missionaries and Commu-

Sandwich Islands, under the exclusive charge
of the American Board; the Georgian Islands,
under the care Of the Independent London Mis-.

vided between the abors of the English Yves.
leyans and the English Episcopal Church Socie-
