OF the 1853 Baptist missionaries now In
Texas suring the last quarter, had boon
especially fruitful. Ho declared also tho

out of debt.
At tho afternoon session, converting at
O'CLOCK, Rev. w. NJ Harris, pastor of
the First Baptist church at Galveston, and
chairman OF the committee on foreign mis-
sions, spoke ably on the subject OF for
eign missions. Referring to the troubles
IN China, ho showed that they are no
due primarily to special antlpathy 10
the missionaries, In point of fact the
whole OF Western civilization in all lts
aspects, commercial, religious, etc, Is
thar which is opposed. Mr.. Harris de-
clared himself against the division OF
China. He concluded by pointing out that
however many earthly empires may be
destroyed, the kingdom of Christ will
endure eternally.
