 He described the mission station of Amanzimtote. in the heart of Natal which looked like a little Vermont viii lage, with it's white houses and fences and beautiful little cemetery, dropped down from the skies amid the date palm and banana trees ana sugar cane of tropical Africa
 Everywhere the missionaries seemed to carry with them whiff of Ameri- ca, not at it's poorest but at it's best an highest; not the America of the saloon and the brothel and the political ring: but the America of the church and the schoolhouse and the Christian home.
 Another impression that the speaker brought home with him from this and from other journeys in mission lands was that of the high respect in which our missionaries are held by the na- tives among whom they labor, especial ly when the missions have been long established. He described the beautiful hospital of Madura, which was built ex- clusively by the money given by rich Hindoo merchants and princes out of personal love and esteem for Dr. Van Allen, who is at the head of medical missionary work in the Madura dis trict. He described also a durhan that he attended, or birthday reception of the rajah of the native state of Rutlam, which is in the field of the Canadian Presbyterians, where the native rajah or prince always shows the missiona- ries and their friends the most distin- guiShed consideration, and who this year dispensed with the dances of the Nautch girls who always before had celebrated his birthday, out of respect to the wishes of the missionaries who had their residence within his domain.
 But the most gracious and the deep est impression which had been made upon the speakers mind by this long Journey in missionary lands was the growing devotion on the part of the missionaries and their converts to the highest ideals of Christian living; their increasing spirituality and sense of communion with the Unseen. He de- clared that on this visit to India he saw many more indications that the secret of the abiding presence of God had been learned by the missionaries, and was made a most important part of their teaching, than on his visit to these same stations four years ago. A great wave of spiritual power attended by a gracious revival had swept over many parts of the missionary field dur ing the last two years, and many mis- sionaries had told him that their eX- perience in these days of famine and plague, or retrenchment and seeming disaster, had been more wonderful than ever before, that they had entered into tthe secret of His presence" Older missionaries and younger alike had shared in this blessing, this new bap- tism of spiritual power, and, as was natural, their converts in many cases had caught the spirit of their teaching,
 In closing, the speaker alluded to the wonderful work which God could &C., complish through one devoted mission ary like Andrew Murray, who has trans formed South Africa, or like William Carey, whose shoemakers s hammer, that aroused such much interest at the great Christian Endeavor convention at San Francisco, was exhibited by the speak CT. The lesson was drawn that, glo- rious as had been the triumphs of mis- sions in the past, the greatest triumphs were still before us, and that through the power of the spirit of God the vic- tories of the days gone by will be insig- nificant compared with those of the fu- ture. Glorious as the past has been, God is fable to give us much more than tiiis 2
