From Dr. Fields Pictures eff India" in the New
York Evangelist.

What | have seen in Calcutta and else
where satisfies me that in all wise plans for
the regeneration of India, Christian missions
must have necessary part. One cannot
remember but with a feeling of shame, how
slow was England to receive missionaries into
her Indian Empire. The first attempt of
the English Church to send missionaries to
India, was met with an outcry of disapproba-
ton. Sydney Smith hoped the Government
would send the missionaries home. When
Carey first landed on these shores, he could
not stay in British territory, but had to take
refuge at Serampore, Danish settlement a
few miles from Calcutta, where he wrought
a work which makes that place of pilgrim.
age to every Christian traveller in India.
We spent day there, going over the field of
his labor. He iS dead, but bis work survives.
There he opened schools and founded col
lege, the first of its kind in India, and which
led the way for the establishment of the mag
nifcent system of National Education, which
is now the glory of India. Carey was in his
day what DR.. Duff was generation later,
vigorous advocate of education as an indis.
pensable means to quickening the lethargic
and torpid mind of India. This is but one
of many benefits for which this country has
to thank missionaries. And if ever India is
to be so renewed as to enter into the family
of civilized and Christian nations, it will be
largely by their labors. One thing is certain,
that mere education will not convert the Hin
docs. The experiment has been tried and
failed. Some other and more powerful means
must be taken to quicken the conscience of
nation deadened by ages of false religion
religion utterly fatal to spiritual life. That
such change may come speedily, is devout.
ly to be wished. No intelligent traveller can
visit India, and spend here two months with
out feeling the deepest interest in the coun-
try and its people. Our interest grew with
every week of our stay, and was strongest
as we were about to leave.
The last night that We were in Calcutta, it
was my privilege to address the students at
one of the Scotch colleges. The hall was

AT THE PAN PRESBYTERIAN COUNCIL the
Rev. DR.. Hoedemaker, of Amsterdam, said
the National Reformed Church of Holland
was Just recovering from the long sickness
of Rationaism. They had had infdelity in
the Church and among the people, which had
rested upon them as an incubus. But now
they could look back upon what it had been,
and could fortify their brethren in other lands
and say: "Don't be too much afraid of it.
God will make it into blessing, after all. !"
Forty years ago there were very few who
preached the living Christ in his Church.
When their secession friends left them, forty
years ago, taking with them whatever there
was of life left in the Church, they had only
few students in the ministry. Now they
had 400 ministers preaching the gospel
They had taken prominent positions IN all the
great cities, and crowds A1cked to hear them
Just in proportion as they preached the living
Christ. As f)r the influence of Rationalism
upon the clergy, they had great reason to
bless it. There was disposition to settle
down quietly, and be content with whatever
had been dug out of the mines of Holy Writ;
but Rationslism had stirred them up, and
pushed them forward, and made it necessary
to study. And the results of this study had
been that they obtained new views of the
glory of God and saw always more in the
Revelation. Every interrogation point Ra-
tionalism made had been changed by God
into an exclamation point AS to the effect
of Rationalsm upon their theology, it had
taught them the organic nature of the Bible,
of revelation, and of truth.
