livered to the "Br6inerd Missionary SOct
ety." in the University Chapel, by Prof
s. ]. Evans OF Lane Seminary. "The
Evangelistic Mission Of America" was
taken as the subject Of the discourse. The
Professor commenced by giving q sue
cinct history Of Christianity, Its beginning
and progress, and the great work which
it was to accomplish. The discourse re-
tlected great credit on its author and |!

OF the people a heartfelt interest In the
