bis aros,les 10 disciple the vi rld and bring
its Inhabitants to tie adoption of the
Christ an religion. The Christian church
was organized and its missionaries have
been ever since traversing the globe preach
ing the gospel and striving to convert
men to its tenets. At the rate of progress
during the last two thousand years will the
Christian church ever evangelize the worlds
The reports of devoted missionaries from
point to point in heatheudom are often
encouraging and cheer Christian hearts
with the hope that eyangeiization will
soon gather the people Of the earth into
the fold Of Christ. But still the stubborn
fact remains that the millions above
stated yet continue stepped in heathenism
and idolatry, and of these China has 40O,-
100000, India 25O, OOo, 600, Africa 100000
600, Japan 35,0OO,O 0O, and the islands of the
sea some 2O,OOO,OO0. The missions at the
various stations in heathendom, and the
sculptures translated into various languages
attest the devotion and personal sacri-
fee of Christian men and women, but, yet,
the astounding fact remains that the
church is making but small impression
upon the heather world. What method
can or should be adopted to secure greater
or moro beneficial results? What new
methods can be devised to win to Chris
tianity the millions of the inhabita nts of
heathendom who are dying in ignorance
of the Saviour and passing into eternity
at the estimated rate of 1000
every hour? The Northeastern Christian
Advocate has this to say in view
of these overwhelming, stunning
facts: <'There is not in all the history of
missions, single example of a man Civ
ing his whole time to regular mission work
and meeting with support from heather
people like the Brahmins of India. He is
tearing down their religion. Will they
feed him under such circumstances? He
may divide his time between an English
congregation and a heather; he may di-
vide his time between an indigo plantation
or carpenter shop and the heather, and
thus be supported on the field. He may
give all his time to an English congrega-
ton and carefully train them to go out as
missionaries, and this is all right. But
the church must not be misled into the
idea that this is a new discovery in meth
cd, or the directest kind of mission work.
If a generation pass away in thirty three
years, thea the unevangelized heath
en- are dying at the rate of sixty-six thou
sand day. If the infants are left out, we
still have over thirty thousand souls perish
ing every twenty-four hours or mere than
thousand every hour, and no method of
work can change this appalling fact. None
so far come up to the demands of the
case. More men, more women, more
means, more prayer, more faith, more ap-
probation of the value of a soul-more for
Christ, less for self-and we may expect
to see daylight through this question"
SINGULAR SURGICAL OPERATION.
. Tumor Removed from Negroes Face
While the Patient was Under Mesm.ric
Influence.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 11.-At the homeo-
pathic dispensary yesterday a singular
