TRIUMPHs OF MODERN MISSIONS.
Last of DIR. Muilins's Lectures at
RichmOnd College

a large and appreciative audience gath
cred in the chapel of Richmond College
last evening TO hear Rev f. Y. Mullins
discuss THE Missionary Interpretation Of
Christianity as Embodied in the Triumphs
of Modern Missions" This was the third
and last Of a most instructive and de-
lightful course of lectures Mr.. Mullins
has been giving at the college. and was
a glowing tribute TO the cause Of foreign
missions Professor c. II. Winston, presi-
dent Of the Foreign Mission Board. of
this city. presided, and introduced the
speaker. Or. W. J.. Wright led in prayer
In his opening remarks, the speaker
thanked Professor Winston for calling at
tention TO the fact that in these lectures
not southern missions. nor American mis-
sions, nor the missions of any one de-
nomination were being discussed but
rather missions in general. and the teach
ings of the Bible and history on this
great subject Attention was called to
the fact that a century ago there was
one missionary society-now there are
800 great societies, with innumerable
branches. 4 century ago there were two
missionaries-Carey and Morrison-now
there are 1900 A century ago $50 a year
was given to miss.ons-now Sl5,0O0,000
Or. Mullins called attention TO the princi-
sion work during the past century. and
supported his views with strong testimony
from impartial witnesses. such as Minister
DENLY, Darwin. and the London Times
The result TO science and civilization of
a century Of missions was graphically de-
picted, and the speaker showed 10 the
satisfaction of his audience that the mis-
sionary is a modern Atlas bearing for
ward the world upon his shoulders. The
lectures closed with illustrations of the
wonderful work accomplished in the
islands Of the Pacific. in Madagascar
among the Telugus, and elsewhere.
At the conclusion of the lecture Pro-
fessor S. c. Mitchell arose. and offered
resolutions strongly endorsing the series
Of lectures and thanking the lecturer for
his gratuitous service. The entire au-
dience rose to its feet en- masse. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Mullins has already
been invited to deliver these lectures in
several southern colleges.
