great majority of the population there
and ooassaaeuti~ nearly everybody was
out OF doors. The mildnesa of the fore
noon caused those who were out of doors
to neglect their usual winter clothing
and the history OF the fatalities in the
various counties proves that only those
thinly clad were the sufferers, as many
staid out oil night who were sufficiently
clothed and suffs ed very little. In THU
connection, also, attention is called Il

FOREIGN MISSION FAILURE.


Sometime ago Canon Taylor o! England
raised quite a breeze before church
congress by expressing his doubts as to
the feasibility of longer continuing for
eign missions. His address made such
sensation and created so much opposition
that he sums up the entire matter in the
Fortnishtly Review, under the heading.
"The Great Missionary Failure" The
article must be read with good
desl OF disappointment By all in
terested il the conversion OF the
heather. Something like 100000 900
is spent annually On Protestant missions,
but Canon Taylor shows thst is spite OF
this "it is Ike the tortoise resing with s
railway train; the longer the race con-
tinues the further the tortoiseis left be-
hind" 1t also appears from the article
referred to tbst the annual increase OF
native Protestant Christians ia India, due
to the lsbors OF thirty five societies 10 re-
ported to be 1881, and OF Ronsn Cstho-
lies 21,272, or 40. 5sS In Sd. AS the
non-Christisn births are about H.
OOO,OO0 annually, 1t may easily be
seen that the hesthens sre gazing on the
Christians prodigiously, and would con-
tinue to do so were the missionary effort
increased one hundred field. Putting 1t
another way, Canon Taylor elbows that II
would take more than 1,6S0,O00 years TO
convert ChiLs, even If the population re-
msined stationary. Here are more sta
tistics: In China, the cost OF tie l67
conversions was about s15, 600. In Cey-
Ion last year 424 missionaries spent S55,-
900 in making 100 adult converts out
of s population OF nearly 1000, goo; and
yet the relspses were more numerous
than the conversions, for there was an
actual decrease of 143 ia the number OF
native Christian adherents. In Northern
Iudis 1t cost $4,000 and the lsbCrs OF
us agents to make 173 converts. In tae
missions to Egypt, Persis, Palestine and
Arsbis over $4,000 has been ex-
pended In the last Two years, with
absolutely no conversions. All the
efforts of the Protestant missionaries
against Mohsmmedslism have been uns-
vslling. But while good people meet to-
gether to consider 80 infinitely the situa-
ton in far away lands, how is 1t right
under their noses, as it were, at hons.
Il. it any wonder that Robert L,semere7s

degradation and wretchedness in London?

cities are little better.
