Missionaries Ought Not to Marry.

From the New York sun.
The total expenditure of the Church
missionary Society, divided among its
missionaries, averaged something like
1900 apiece. In the Universities Mis-
sion the average was only 81 ,200. The
average cost of the actual maintenance
OF missionary by the first is about ST.
300. By the second about $40. The
fundamental difference between the sys-
TENS of the two societies is de-
scribed by Canon Taylor as this: "The
missionaries of the Church Missionary
Society, as rule, marry young; they
are offered liberal salaries, pensions,
and prol ision for their wives and chill
dren. The distinguishing feature of the
Universities Mission is that their mis-
slonarles are celibates." lie therefore
comes to the conclusion that celibacy
is necessity in the great majority of
cases, estimating that if the Church Mis-
slonary Society followed the rules and
financial methods of the other, it would
set free for additional effort more than
