Progress in India.

Hs& FG e4
The London Christian Times in an
article on India, gives tho following
encouraging account of the progress
ofihe truth in the Indian empire:
eve have we'll founded hope that
glorious future is before The vast
Indian Empire with it's two hundred
millions of people. The marvellous
change which, of late years, has taken
place in the public opinion of the
country, has filed Englishmen with
amazemeut. Hindooism, so long the
formidable antagonist of the Chris
trian missionary, is giving way; the
conviction has become general that
idolatry is false, that caste is q great
evil and not blessing, and that
Christianity is true. Since the mu-
tiny, in 1857, a new spirit has entered
into the public government of the
country, and during the last seven
years a degree Oh improvement, and
solid advance has taken place, 10
the course of Legislation md the ma,
terial wealth of the country, Of which
done, except men who have seen 1t,
have any idea. The direct results OF
Christian Missions in India are of the
most gratifying character. There
are now in India some $4,000 COM
municants OF all churches; there are
congregations of 100000 people, to-
gether with 200 native clergy But
as DR.. Mullen recentley pointed out
there is fact to be contemplated
which is of greater value than any
tabulated statement of direct re-
.sults;-the general impression which
has been made by the Gospel in In
dia upon large scale. 1t is strik'
ing fact that healthy change in the
religious knowledge and convictions
of people in general may take place
to gaeat degree before direct con
versions to Christianity become nu'
merous, or the native churches grow
very large. The condition of th'
Indian Empire, and the influence
which Christian truth is now exert
ing upon it, illustrates this facts in I
remarkable manner

RAsPBERRY.-The most profitable,
and surest bearing berry in the cat
alogue is the raspberry. Its culture
requires hardly any labor or pains
and the least brains in the man or
woman who has charge of it. Very
rich soil is required; rotten wood or
decayed leaves is the best for ma>
nure Avoid ashes or other alkalies.
For stock the common red, said to be-
wild variety, is best. The English
cane, or white cap, having orange or
yellow canes, is also hardy kind
There are several other kinds about
Lancaster that do well. Cut away
decayed canes in the Spring, and Top
off the end of bearing ones Also,
remove all week or slender canes.
