Recent Intelligence from the May Number of the
Missionary.

! Missionary.
We have letters from China as late as the 10th of
/ February. AT that time our missionary brethren
we're in the enjoyment of health, and were prose-
cutting their labors In peace and quietness. Mr..
Converse had been slightly indisposed from ex-
posture, but was regainiug comfortable health
The letter from Gu tsiu, published in our present
issue, ought to be read with care and interest 1t
affords good illustration both Of the perversity
of heather character and Of the trials and perpex
tiles to which missionaries are often subject in con-
sequence OF that perversity.
A letter has been received from Mr.. Pratt as late
as the 22nd of March. The health OF his family
! had been very much improved at the time of his
writing The attendance upon preaching was very
variable, but the people had been very kind to Mr..
| Pratt and family, and he could not but hope that
/ God had something good in store for that people.
Besides preaching, Mr.. Pratt was much engaged
/ in preparing aud revising tracts for circulation
among the people.
| Mr.. ColtOns letter gives both encouraging and
/ dscOuraging views of the condition and prospects
of the Choctaw mission. The committee are not
without hope that the mission may be further re-
inforced during the year. Mr.. Balentine's letter
shows that he has chosen a field Of labor that i'm
poses great sacrifices and selidenias upon himself
and his family. We trust they will be remembered
in their far off and isolated home By all who love
the RedeemeI' S kingdom.
FINANCE.-0ur friends of missions will be glad
to know that the receipts into the Foreign Mis-
siOuary Treasury for the year ending March 3lst,
1870, including So 800 given for the Chinese Press
amount to about $4,000 This is an increase
over last years contributions of something like
fifty per cent We are also glad to notice that
there has been some increase in the number
Of churches that have eontributed-there being
this year six hundred and thirty three against five
hundred and ninety eight the previous year.
Still, however, it Is painful and humiliating to re.
member that not one-h half of our fourteen hundred
churches have yet done anything at all for this
great and sacred cause.
Campinas Mission, Brazil-Rev. G.. n. Morton
was on a briet visit to Sac Paulo in February and
there met Rev. Mr.. Chamberlain, OF the Northern
Missionary Board who had just returned from
preaching tour. He is very much encouraged by
his success He met with no opposition, and the
people listened to him very eagerly. 1t is his opin
ion that il Government support were taken iron
the Roman Catholic Church, half of the people
would desert that Church This, Of course, would
not be the conversion OF the people to God; but il
would open the door more effectualy to the preach
ing of the gospel

Though months have elapsed since the departure

young this striking example of life-long industry,
steady application to business aithfulness and tenn
perance. But it is especially to young citizens
who propose to enter into mercantile life that so
bright an example of practical excellence would
seem chiefly to commend itself; for while in the
rious relations of private and domestic life our
friend had no superiors in general business capacity
and mercantile skill he had few equals. But ardent
and untiring he was in the discharge of temporal
obligations he was not neglectful of higher and
holier duties. AS humble and unostentatious as he
