1869; Mrs. Learned, of Kioto; Mrs. Cur tis, of Nugata; Miss Barrows, of Kobe, and others, and described their kinder gartens, their Bible classes, sewing classes and cooking classes. Miss Case paid warm tribute to Miss Judson, a missionary of the New Haven branch, who gives herself unstintingly to her work. Her night school is unique and full of promise, with its big class of young business men engaged in Bible study She deserves all the help that can De senteher,a as she is truly helping the young manhood and young woman hood of Japan.
 4 Miss Alice Bacon, whose name ap- peared on the programme, was unable to be present on account of death in her family, and E. s. Hume spoke in her place on the question, Do Mis- sions Pay?" He referred first to India, where 26,O00 farmers were helped to buy seed and cattle after the recent fam inc, and where 30,0OO famine children were rescued, and brought up many of them already to the point of self support. These benefciaries of mis- sonary agencies, and the many who have profited by the schools and hos pitals, would surely answer the ques- tion in the affirmative. But others make the same answer-Lord Curzol, who records himself as greatly inl- pressed with the educational work at Madura; Robert Louis Stevenson, who had prejudice against missionary work until he saw for himself the pre- mier of Japan, who sent word to the president of the United States that he favored the introduction of Christian |ity into Japan, and Secretary Root, who recently spoke of the beneficial effects both direct and indirect, of Protestant missionary work in South America.
