cuErsrIANlrY IN INDIA.

\ correspondent takes rather Il doleful
view of mission work IN India. He says
there are u large number of Christian mis-
>ionaries in India, chiefly from England,
but the work they do is byno means COM
mensurate with their numerical strength.
Nowadays few educated young Indians
are seen to accept Christianity. Since
the year 1864, when llindoo thesm ac-
quired new strength from the accession
of the late celebrated Kcshub Chuuder
Sen into its ranks, Christianity has been

dianS The missionaries are busy preach
Ing the doctrines Of Christianity
all over India, but few except
poor and illiteate men are
seen to be caught by their words, The
native Christians of India belong mostly
to the lower classes, who are perfectly
incapable OF comprehending the highly
philosophical doctrines OF Christianity,
and who have accepted IL for some earth
ly benefit rather than for the salvation of
their souls. During the famine of lo7S-1g
In the Madras presidency the Christian
missionaries opened relief works and adj
mitted into them all who made no obiec-
tion 20 being baptized and converted 10
Christianity. By This process about Il
million OF Indians were made Christians
in the course of q few months. Now, 1t
might be fairly asked what good is there
In making men Christians who are moral
~ incapable of comprchcnding anything
OF it; The history OF Christian missions in
India for about Il quarter of
"a century proves that their
cndeavors to convert the edu-
Gated Indians OF the respectable classes
have been almost totally devoid OF any
good result. Some i've years ago mum
Der Of oxford missionaries of except
onal abilities and attainments were sent
TO India to work among the educated In

in Calcutta, the metropolis of British IN
diu, and have been here ever since, but

To all appearances the prospects for
Christianity in India is not all cheering,
and 1t is time for Christian missionaries
TO think Of better and surer ways of
propagating their religion among the edu-
Gated men Of India than those of denounc-
ing the Indian religions as totally false
and soaring the people by the bugbear of

The New York Herald gives editorial
notice to Rev. Mr.. Versions sermon on
the efficacy of prayer. The Herald says;
"Der!ying his topic from the fact that
prayer had been rcsorted to In Montreal
against the smallpox scourgc, the preach
er objected TO the application of supplica-
ton 10 the Divine Power for such pur-
pose. He held that such practical use of
the virtues OF prayer, If it were made eff
tlcacious, would be degradation of the
institution. II would amount to material
iZlng prayer into an ordinary force whose
power could be- calculated, could be
drawn against as against n bank account;
could be stored, as in the Faure syS-
TEN for storing electricity The
idea advanced reminds one of Prof
Tyndall's prayer gauge" and the eN-
pertinent suggested of prayer for the sick
TO be offered in concert and with one inn
pulse by a large number OF persons gath
cred together for the purpose. The posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Newton is rather
comprehensive, and would probably find
many TO object 10 it. We have the au-
thority of the Lords Prayer TO sustain
the position that prayer for material
things Is not incongruouS. The supplica-
ton, "Ciive rs this day our daily bread, !"
would seem TO come within the limits of
the scheme of prayer objected to by Mr..
Newton. ltwould certainly appear to be
unfortunate that prayer should be per-
verted TO stand in the way of the object
desired, and this is what the preacher OBJ
