A Fruit OF Missions.
The first Bulgarian convert of the
Methodist mission in Turkey, Nicholas
Minkoff, says the Missionary Adpocdts,
came to this country, entered the Unipn
service, and was killed at the storming
OF Fort Fisher. The day before going
into action he made his will, leaving
ona-third Of bis property 20 the Mis-
sionary Society and two-thirds to his
parents. A young son Of Rev. De Ja-
CODY, the head Of the Methodist Ger
man Mission, was between fifteen and
sixteen years Of age when the call was
made for volunteers to fill the ranks Of
the Union Army. John wrote to his
father to know If be might enlist, and
received for answer, 1t you wish TO

We make the following selections in
the statistics of the New School Presby-
terian, by E. D. NJ, Esq in late num-
Der of the Christian Herald,
The whole number of admissions TO
the Church on examination, are 6, IT'S,
distributed as follows:
New England, New York, New Jer-
sey aud Pennsylvania, 1866; thelcen-
trail and northwest 3,05Q; the Pacific 60.
The average additions. in twenty
churches in different parts of the ooun-
try, have been so each. Newark, N. j.,
has been the most favored spot in the
whole church. 1t shows 3l5 conversions
in six churches tIs5so4 G3ve aE
The western churches proportionately
to their numbers, have had the largest
additions, New York and Pennsylvania
are said to present, apparently, barren
prospect. DR.. Adams church (Madison
Sqnare) had So conversions, being for
every 18 members. - -a1aM
The I'd Church, Cincinnati, has A
conversions to 462 members This is /
to TO- HaG -eitg
The Church at Belvidere, I'LL, had 50
conversions to 3l8 members, or more than
in 4, aud the chureha Seymour, Ind,
has 81 to lis members, almost one to
two. rrr.v .vsrr4fr
To what can this difference be attribu.
ted7 The true answer, no doubt is, that
in these churches having the most con.
versions, there must be a greater piety
and more zeal than in those having the
less number of conversions. We be-
lieve that God alone has power to con-
convert. still we must do our duty, then
we may reasonably expect his blessing.
