The fruit OF missionary labor is sure,
though sometimes long delayed. This
Il stFikinRly illustated in the exSenehSe
Of missions in lode asset forth in
che Chspn:e.epsofgan of the London
Mlssl086ry Society, August number.
From this it appears that in 1880 there
we're nine missionary societies in that
country, and not over 81, 600 native
Christians. In 1910 the number had
increased to 81 900. and IN 1850 to
l97, 900. Ia the next twenty years tie
rate of progress was vastly greater.
Tens were multiplied into hundreds
and hundreds into thousands; and at
the present time, according TO the low
est estimate, there are in India, Ceyion
aud Burmah not less than half million
native Protestant Christlans. 10 some
fields progress has been more rspid thsn
In Others. For example, in Vizzspa-
tam, Madras Presidency, missionaries
of The London Missionary Society la
bored for thirty years without any vlsi-
BILE result. Net . single convert WAS
made. Yet the missionaries were earn
est men, and never discontinued nor
desirous Of another field. They did an
essential pioneer work, others entered
INTO their lsbors, and the abundant
harvest came ST last. Another exam
pie n that OF the mission 1t cuddspab,
South India, where two societies con-
Quoted missions side By side for thirty
years, realizing only 200 conversions.
Thea came times OF refreshing, sDd the
500 have been increased 20 II. 600.

TO the time OF his death, he was &c =

while in this capacity established a
reputation as business man that
lasted until his death. He mar
