1T is stated by the Catholic Pres5yte-
ran that the great national religious So
cietles of this country, which once were
supposed to include all denominations,
have gradually come to be the care, in
the main, OF the Presbyterians The con-
trbutions for the support of some of these
institutions are so nearly all from the
Presbyterian Church that it might be
easily charged with the entire support of
them, without feeling the increased bur-
den. At recent meeting in DIR. Halls
church, he stated that the single Presby-
terry OF New York, after supplying its
own missionary wants, spending more
than $4,000 annually for mission work
in the city, gives about $4,000 to the
Church Board of Home Missions, and
$4,000 to Foreign Missions, and to the
other boards in the same proportions :.
S32o,597 for congregational work; and
to the miscellaneous charities, such as the
Bible and Tract and City Mission work.

been pointed out that the Presbyterians
are not now growing in numbers like some
others. but it is evident that they grow

1T WAS ANNOUNCED few weeks ago
that Rev. M. III. Houston and family
would sail on the Sd of May for China.
Since then change has been made in
their plans and it is definitely arranged
for them to sail from San Francisco on
the steamship Toxic, of the Pacific Mail
Company, which leaves May 10th. They
will be accompanied by DR.. R. Baxter
tlshburne, of Baltimore, who has been
appointed medical missionary. The
departure of these missionaries is an i'm
portant event in connection with the
foreign missionary work of our Church.
Mr. Houston has had considerable ex-
perience in the mission field, and is we'll
acquainted with the Chinese language.
He is thoroughly devoted to the work,
from which he was recalled on account
OF impaired health about six years ago.
He goes back now with renewed strength
and devotion, and the Church could not
send out man better qualified in all re-
spects.
DIR. Fishburne will also be valuable
addition to the China mission. He had
city appointment and growing prac-
tice as physician in Baltimore, but he
ardently desired to devote himself to
the missionary work. He has large
circle of friends and relatives in Vir-

Two VALUABLE MEN have been lost to
the cause of Christian evangelisation in
Switzerland. One is M. Adrian Naville
who died suddenly in December last, and
the other is M Theodore Necker, who
died, also very suddenly, in January.
nj. Navllle was a gentleman OF high So
cial position, having filled the office of
Councillor of State, the highest dignity
of the republic. But since 1853 he had
devoted himself entirely to evangelistic
work. He presided over the Evangelical
Alliance at Geneva in 1860.
M. Necker (related remotely to the
famous finance minister) devoted himself
also at an early period of his manhood to
the cause of evangelisation. He was sew
eral times president Of the Evangelical
Alliance.
