Roll of Their Stations Through
out the Republic Will As
tonish the Reader.

The reports that have appeared in
the Evening Star from the mission
station in China, for the support of
which the First Presbyterian Church
is directly responsible, have aroused
deep interest. and more inquiries
have been made about the extent of
Presbyterian mission work in the
new republic. The vast spread of
this work is but little known or I'M
derstood. With a view of giving in
formation about this effort for the
spread of the gospel in the Far East
the Evening Star has gathered the
following data from the latest re-
ports Of the missionary boards of the
church. These reports, the latest
published, are for the year 1913. They
are submitted. of course. for the
scrutiny and consideration of the
General Assembly, and are published
in Philadelphia.
