Japan.
Rev. DR.. Frazer gave detailed account OF the
China mission of the English Presbyterian Church.
An idea, he said, Of the very large extent Of that
mission, lin proportion to the size OF the

$4,000 was expended last year, only $4,000 OF which
was received from Scotland. There were thirteen
missionaries In the field sent from this country,

Of the approaching union, DR.. Fraser said what he
