Rev. Mr.. Miles, assistant pastor of the

and introduced the speaker.
There was a large number of children
present and they listened with interest to
his discourse, which was amply illustrated
By stereopticon views. Mr.. Nichols went
to Burmsh about fourteen years ago and
will return there next October. The views
illustrated his journey there and many OBJ

showed the ocean steamship on which he
went from New York to Liverpool. From
Liverpool he pursued his journey to Glib
| raltsr, thence to the island of Malta,
through the Suez canal and the
Red sea to Burmsh. He showed in
teresting views of all the places
he passed through. He gave an interest

among this people. The Bsptists have
done the most extensive work here and
| the people grasp with svidity the precspts
| of the gospel. Mr.. Nichols exhibited
| several idols which they used in the Budd-
hist worship. He also left some barrels
with Mr.. Miles, which are to be distributed
among the children. They are to open
