1t will be observed that the number has near
ly doubled within the decade, and that, not
withstanding the steady increase in numbers.
the per cent. has also steadily increased. Ten
years ago the compilers Of these tables said
I" On the supposition that a uniform rate Of in
crease of 81 per cent should continue until the
year 1901, the number Of Christians Of that date
would amount to nearly million. Fifty years
later it would be upwards of IL ,0OO, 600 and
fifty years later still, or in A. D 2001. it would
amount to l38,0C00000. 1t is, however, need
less to state that such calculations hsrdly come
within the bounds Of sobriety Unforeseen OBJ
stacles might intervene, on the one hand, while
on the other a sudden and general movement OF
the people in favor Of Christianity might at any
time take place"
But the rate Of increase for the decade Just
closed has been % per cent greater than for the
former decade, at the close Of which these re-
marks were penned. KeshUb Chunder Sen, the
head Of the Rationalistic accociation called the
Brahmo Somaj, said in a lecture delivered in
Calcutta during the sessions Of the Convention
" 1t is no longer a question how India shah be
taken for Christ, for it is already his This Is
by far too hattering a view TO be accepted by
Christians, but the progress Of Christianity in
India is truly remarkable. Christianity has
become so prominent and is spreading 50 rapid

Statistics of Missions in India

BY REV. ]. NJ. REID, LID.
Missionary Secretary of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church
The assembling Of the Fourth Decennial Mis-
sionary Conference for India in Calcutta on
December 28th, furnishes an opportunity of
studying the present condition and progress of
the work This article will be devoted to the
statistical tables which are full Of interest and
encouragement. The Societies which occupy
the field are as follows:
Baptist Methodist, 8
Basle / Moravians and Friends, 2
Church of England Presbyterian, II
Congregational, =
Lutheran, 6 Total, SO
Besides these there are seven female Societies
in the field not associated with the above, and
seven isolated missions, to which should be
added the Edinburgh Medical Missionary So
ciety, and the Christian Vernacular Education
Society of India.
These Societies occupy 500 central stations
an increase of 146 for the decade. and have $50
ordained foreign missionaries, being an increase
of 9S for the decade, and 46I native ordained
preachers, an increase of 236 during the decade.
or than double. This last is one of the
most inspiring and hopeful developments Of the
statistics. Allow me to present, for the Joy of
all Christians, the statistics this mint from
the time these tables were first puBz aed;
In 1851 the native lay preachers npn-
bered, SOL
In 1851 they numbered, 1,779
In 1871 they numbered, 1928
In 1881 they numbered, 2,9SS
AS to the native Christians. the results are
not less encouraging. 1t should be remembered
that it is one thing to renounce Hinduism or
Mohammedanism, and another and very differ
ent thing, to become changed in heart, and
filled with the peace of God. This is fully re-
cognized in the statistics. The former is done
at much sacrifice, and those who take the step
become a Christianizng force in India, but the
two things are so apart that the tables present
the number of native communicates as distinct
from the number of native Christians all of
whom have not been considered experimental
Christians, as they expected to be before be-
ing admitted to the holy communion. The
tables prepared by the Decennial Committee
embraces also Burmah and Ceylon, On account
of their close connection with India and of their
large Indian population. The following is the
showing since the tables were first issued for
India, Burmah, and Ceylon

The Other Side.

She sobbed as If her heart
would break, and the kind heart
ed neighbor who dropped in fol
friendly chat could not comfort
her.
Had she received bad news
from her relations or friends? No
Were her children causing her
trouble? No.
Difficulties in church ? No
Perhaps her husbands business
was not prospecting? But that
was not it; her husband had new
err been so fortunate in business
as now.
Finally it came out that her
husband had stopped drinking,
and that was the source of her
grief.
He is so changed now" she
tearfully explained From a
lively, ind-hearted man he has
become moreso, cross and stingy.
Why, when he was about half
full be was one of the cheerfulest
men YOU ever saw, and he never
came home without remembering
to bring something. Why. I've
let him in many a time at 2 and 3
o'clock in the morning, when he
would drop right down in the
parlor and go to sleep on the oil
cloth, but l could always depend
on finding a turkey, or a can of
oysters, or a ham, or something
lying alongside of him. Yes, he
was a good man when he was
drunk. He was fuller'n a goose
when he bought the piano and
my watch. and everything else
that cost more than fifteen cents.
But that's all over with him now,
and l wish l was dead;" and she
burst forth into fresh food of
tears and refused to be comforted.
