Missionary Notes.

1t is asserted that II the present ratio Of
increase continues the native Christians
in China in the year 1900 will number
100000. . ..s.....-. --
When we receive intelligence like the
following, we cease TO wonder that women
who have been lifted up into sympathy
with their divine Lord are such enthusi-
astic supporters Of Missions:
"There are some two hundred millions
of women in India. of whom twenty mil
lions are in enforced widowbood. The
English Baptist Zenana Mission has been
doing a good work among them. 1t COM
menced in 1867 with revenue OF 81 800.
Now it has IS stations, AZ lady visitors,
% assistants, 104 native teachers and
Bible-women, and al girls schools con-
tanning about 800 pupils. In support Of
these various agencies they expend about

The early romance OF missions gives
way to the prosaic commonplace OF we'll
known facts. Our missionaries 60 to no
mysterious and distant world never to
return. Every land has been explored; !;
we know the geography Of our globe.
Every people has been studied; we know
the history, the language, the population,
the customs, the religion OF all. No land
is far away, no nation is alien--modern
civilization binds all together. The world
grows small, as We can state its area ac.
curately in square miles, but our work
grows large as the consciousness Of the
mighty populations OF heathen empires
is thrust upon us.---Missionary Review.

Growth Of n Big Book.

When Webster's Unabridged was first
published in one volume, it was compar-
atively a email book. Some years after
an addition was made OF 800 Pictorial
Illustrations, Table Of Synonyms, and
an Appendix Of New Words that had
come into use. A few years later came
an entirely new revised edition of larger
size, with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations
then, after an interval al o few years, a
Biographical Dictionary OF nearly 10000
Names, and a Supplement Of nearly 5000
New Words we're added, and now there
has come new and most valuable addi.
ton, GaGatteer of the World, OF over
25 900 Titles. The work IL now not only
THE Dictionery, par excellence, but a
Biographical Dictionary, Gazetteer Of
