There. were 1877 delegates from the
United States, representing IS societies !;
u from Canada, representing 10 So
cietles; 2 from the colonies, represent.
ing 2 societies; AZ from the Continent.
representing II societ ties; while 81 En-
glisb, Scotch and Irish societies were
represented among the 1890 British
delegates and memb ers. The confer
encs stood as an objsrt lesson of the
vital unity of Proiestanism. Great di-
versity in method was frankly avowed.
But . unifying and uniting purpose
was quietly assumed as the sufficient
ground for meeting to discuss in com
mon the burning problems Of modern
missionary work. Face to face mis-
sionaTies were brought-the narrow
and the broad, the ssnguine and the
discouraged; they were ell there to
prepare themselves more fully to
preach with power and effectiveness the
unsearchabls riches of Christ. They
were united because they had COM
mon Work.-ChriStidn Union.

earth, and of missionaries and Others

aud authority of actual experience and
observation of all phases and Of all
spheres of the missionary work. Men
OF whom the majority of us had never
heard, from fields of which we knew alb
soluteiy nothing, were constantly rising
up and flooding US with facts ABOUT
