In spite of the financial depression

Canada for foreign missions increased
last year $685. OO. The increase of in

more remarkable, being $4,000
The total gifts on the foreign field

4S per cent. of the total amount con-
tributed for foreign missions by the
Protestant churches of North America.
The increase of native converts last
year was 164,674, or yer 450 a day.
The cumulative effects of the foreign
mission enterprise is shown by the
fact that it took 100 years to gain the
first million converts. The second
million were secured in IL years, and
they are now being added at the rate
Of a million in six years. The percent

children in Urbana, Champaign
