7,09S, gain of 2,S67. This is the most re-

Religion does not need so be insured, for
it is not perishable commodity. But
some CT the names and symbols which rep
resent it are as fragile as glass. We must
not fall into the error of identifying a
church window with the light that falls
through it-Christidn Register.
In Canton, China, with its 10000 in
habitants, are fifteen Christian chapels,
where missionaries and native ministers
preach the gospel, not on Sunday only, but
daily, and from two to four hours each day,
to audiences varying from fifty to several
hundred. After the sermon, these evangel
lists continue the services. Free converse
tions and discussions follow; rooms are at
hand for private conferences, and Christian
books and tracts are kept in readiness, and
disposed of in large numbers. The preach
ing halls are thronged during the hottest
months July, August and Septem ber-and
from noon till 3 'clor'-the hottest part of
the day Tens OF Il Jusands of visitors to
the city have heard re gospel in these
chapels and halls, and have carried it hun
dreds of miles into the interior. The dia-
lect used by most of the missionaries in
preaching is the Punt, or pure Cantonese,
by which they have access to 90, 900, 900 of
people.-MiSSiOnary RerigU.
