Tho Ncv. Dr.. Henry Kendall, Of New York,
one Of tho Secretaries Of the Buard OF Homo
Missions, then addressed tho Assembly ns fol-
lows:
It Is forty years aeo and 4 little more when
Lord Nacauley was in 1ndln. lie placed very
little value On tho work OF such missionaries as
Poor, md Wlnslow, and LowrIo, aud Reed, and
spoke dtsparas!ng'v Of the work Of missions ard
the nominal converts to the Christian faith.
The English Government, he sa!'i, was estah-
fishing schools for tho native population, and
when tho children learned English he lntiiuatci
TINT ido1atry would 20 to tho winds. aud tho
rising generation would adopt the faith Of tic
English Church. Alass great statesman and
historian. brilliant orator and cssayis., rs afa-
caulay WIS, he had not comprehenlcd tho
depths Of human dcpravity or tho hardness Of
tic human heart. Tens of Thousands Of Tho
youth OF India speak and write the Eng llsh Ian

tho English themselves. they arc familiar With
the literature Of England, With her philosophy,
history, and theology, With tho works Of the most
eminent of her reccut scientists and scholars
But MaeautaY lived long cuough to zee that

rid in treaehery and bloodshed, ,-atld The scenes
sent thriilof horror throughout the earth, and
they arc worla that can1lot be spokeu now but

TINT not only every missionary OF every mime
