1t is something that American mis-
sions alone now occupy more than four
thousand stations in unevangelized
lands, with two thousand three hundred
and fifty missionaries sent from this
country and more than ten thousand
native helpers; that there are at these
stations more than twenty-sevcn hun
dred churches. with nearly two hundred
and thirty-seven thousand cOmmuni-
cants. Of whom twenty-six thousand
were added last year; and that four
millions of dollars are contributed an
nually in our country to carry ON the
work. II is something, certainly, that
all Protestant missionary societies have
now forty-six thousand missionaries
and helpers in the field. ministering to
nearly seven hundred thousand COM
municants and to more than three mill
Ions Of adherents to Christianity, and
expcnding every year Mt least twelve
millions OF dollars in the distant and
costly work.-Dr. Storrs. in s. 8. Times.
