FRUITS OF MISSIONARY WORK.
As regards the fruits of the mis- ssionary
operations, the American societies have 59,062
members In their mission churches, and 40, 629
pupils in the missionary schools; the European
societies, 242020 members of missionary
churches, and 24S, $40 pupils of missionary
schools; american and European societies to-
gether, 301, ,032 members of missionary churches,
and 2S9, 465 pupils in missionary schools. As
regards membership in the missionary chGrcheG,
the Wesleyan Society of England has reaped
the largest harvest, as IL has in its missionary
churches no less than 705 members, or
more than one-third of all the mis-
sionary churches taken together Next
in order follow the London Mis-
sionary Society, with 50 4S7 members; the
American Board, with 20, 7SS; the Basel Society,
with 2O571; the American Baptist Union, with
20,193; the English Church Missionary Society,
with 16, $685. the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel with S491; the Baptist Free Mission
Society, with about 5000: the Lutheran Society
of Leipsic, with 9291 the English Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, with 6l69; the United Presby-
terians of Scotland, with $780, the United Me-
thodst Free Churches, with 5)4: Gossners
Missionary Society of Berlin, with 4100 the
Rhenish Missionary Society, with 1856 the
Methodist Episcopal Board, with 3701; and the
Basel Society, with 5000.
MISSIONARY FIELDS.
OF the various missionary fields, India Gn-
the largest number of members in missionary
churches and pupils i'll missionary schools. OF
the former, there are 74,S10 of the latter
103, 767, with the prospect of a very large and
rapid increase. Indeed, there are both in Bril-
tsh and in Farther India tribes in which pagan
ism is approaching its entire extinct ton.
In the islands of the Indian Archipelago,
the Dutch and German missionaries continue to
obtain great results; but the accounts of their
labors are not so complete as to give an accurate
idea of the condition of the mission churches.
The churches connected with the Rhenish Mis-
sionary Society have 46S members.
In China and Japan great progress has been
made during the past few years. The number
of communicants has reached 6215, and of
pupils 4740. In China, the further advance of
the missions appears at present to be checked
by the anti-Christian excitement raging among
the natives; but this, it is hoped by the mis-
sionaries, can only be temporary, and is likely
to be followed by greater spirit of inquiry
among the masses of the population. In japan,
which is undergoing complete political trans
formation, the prospects of Christianity are un-
usually bright, as it appears to gain ground
among the foremost and leading classes of the
land.

THE ENGLISH OF INDIA.

CURIOUS EPIsToLARY SPECIMENS.
English residents in India get number Of
letters from natives who may have occasion
to apply to them, either on matters of bust
ness or to ask favor or obtain q situation.
Some of these are well written-indeed, the
handwriting is generally excellent-and in
many cases the composition is marked by
great propriety and good taste. But with
many others, adds contributor to Chambers
Journal, it is very different, and the excel
lence of the penmanship and correctness
of the spelling stand out in drollest con-
trast with the matter of the epistle.
Tradespeople who are perfectly ignorant
Of any but their own tongue send bills
to their English customers. These they get
written by some native scribe, who has learn
ed enough of English, or at least is supposed
to have learned enough, to be able to make
out bill of parcels, or monthly statement
of account which the Saheb or Mem Saheb
will be able to read; or to write note ex-
planning anything unusual in the conduct of
the business. AS an instance of this take the
following two notes. They were sent by
butcher in Berhampore to a silk factor at
Beldanga with some beef which, being sup
piled without order, the butcher judged it
necessary to send some explanation; and this
is what he sent, 0er6dttm et Itteratim. Out
side the address of both was the same:-To
the Great Honorable - Rid, Esquire. The
first ran thus
''To His Highness - Rid Esquire The
humble butcher Nowkoury Respectfully shew-
eth that for your honour has sent good
beef, Rump, pleased to take it, and pay day
labour of bearer cooly. AS your obedient
butcher shall ever pray.
And the second was:-
''To His Highness - Rid Esquire. The
humble butcher Nowkoury respectfully shew-
eth that your honour has sent good peice
of beef, l Brisket, Rib, please to take it,
nad to pay day labour of coolly, and your
butcher will not send in following weak any
peice pleased to salt to this peice for other
weak. AS your obedient butcher shall ever
pray"
''Rid" is native corruption of the gentle
man 8 real name. We leave it so.
Next is one sent to the goods clerk at the
Mirzapore Railway station. 1t sufficiently
explains itself, except one word, "reptile,"
which is perhaps mistake for ''replete:"-
''Sir humbly beg you to cause the tele-
gram received at last night to be sent to me
for its correction, and not to bring this into
my superior's notice, as man is reptile with
the error. / am your obet servant,
"R. ID. MooKERJEE.
From a scholar in mission school to the
head MASTER
''My dear sir:-I humbly beg to inform
You pleas to give me leave for one week, be-
cause / could not walk with my feet, now l
am very unfavorable. Give my compliments
to My Master pray to God for everlasting
life. am Your most humble and Obedient
Servant, SHEwBART LALL."
Something might be added to this on the
subject of chits Chat is, notes., most sur
prisipg number of which are received, and
have to be answered, by most English people
in India. Let any one in this country re-
member on how many occasions in a day he
! receives or sends a verbal message by SER

want, child, or a friend; or how often just
by putting on his hat, and stepping out for a
few yards, he asks question of a neighbor,
or gives him some news, or makes some little
arrangement. Now, suppose that every such
case had to be managed by written note,
and then you get q notion of the extent of
such a correspondence in India. Just putting
on hat and stepping out to a neighbor's is
as little to be thought of there (for a good
part of the year at least) as a walk from
London to Brighton. And as to verbal mes
sages, no one tries that pisR after the vexa-
tious trials in the early months of ineXpe-
rience. Either because the native servants
are SO inattentive and forgetful, or because
Europeans SO rarely acquire perfect COM
mand of the vernaoular, or perhaps from
both these causes together, a message sent
verbally is always delivered wrongly. A very
slight difference in the pronunciation will
often make great difference in the sense of
a word. Thus, lady, who was an excellent
linguist, had paddock brought to her instead
of the brass dish she thought she had sent
for; and the names of the two articles are so
nearly alike, that it is difficult for Europeans
to perceive the difference at all

JEH0VAH-JESUS TRIUMPHANT.

"Yet have ] set my king upon my holy hill OF
Z,oB."-Psam ii, g.
What glorious consideration is this! Amid
all the dying circumstances of this poor perish
ing world, and the startling events that are now
shaking empires to their very foundation, how
cheering is the reflection that there is a king
dom which can never be moved, aud a King
who will eternally and uuinterruptedly reign
Nothing can disproye this great aud glorious
fact. Perplexing and bewilderlng as
is the external working and
general appearance of events, yet
naught has arisen, nor can arise, to interfere
of Him who "worketh all things after the ooun-
sci of His own will" (Eph i, ID. Blessed be
His great and adorable name, "He doth accord
ing to His will in the army of heaven, and
among the inhabitants of the earth; 80 and
none dare stay His hand, or say unto
Him, What dOest thou?" (Dan. iv, 35).
''The Lord sitteth upon the food; yea, the
Lord sitteth King for ever" psalm xxx,
1O). And the real-and only happy-position
of child of Cod under the present aspect of
things, is to seek and to realize grace from on
high, in order to ''be still and know that He is
God;" for 'I1e will be exalted among the hea-
then; He will be exalted III the earth" psalm
XVI, 10). The mercy is to rest in Him, and to
rejoice in the fact that, however subtle the
enemy, or whatever the articles of men as
any means interfere with, or even in the least
wise retard, the course which Jehovah, from all
eternity, designed to pursue. The powers of
darkness, well as all the combined efforts of
nan, can but be subservient to the wise and unerr
ing will and pleasure of Him who is 'twonder-
full in counsel and excellent in working" Qsaah
xviii, 29).
