India, with one possible exception, is
the hardest mission field in The world,
but even India is becoming, slowly but
surely Christian. The government CEN
sus tells the tale. During the last ten
years. while the population increased
~ per cent, Protestant native Christians
increased more than 62I4 per cent.
While the Hindus lost a fraction Of
/ per cent, and while the Parsees gained
per cent. the Jews 6 per cent, and the
Mohammedans per cent, Prot ln-
dian Christians increased more than 62
per cent.
In China the Protestant community
has increased about 100 per cent every
seven years. The Boxer uprising tried
to wipe out Christianity, but the church
has gained more converts in the eight
wears since the Boxer uprising than in
the first eighty years of missions in
China.

one of Washington's foremost clergy
men.
Unusual Interest Shown.
Unusual interest has been manifested
in the union evangelical campaign
which Is being conducted in South
Washington Never before in the his
tory of that section of the town has
so much attention been given to church
affairs. Clergymen Of the cooperating
churches are putting forth their pest
efforts TO inspire their congregations
and have succeeded in a marked de-
gree.
Evidence of Reform.
1t is merely an evidence of that gen
eraI present-day reform which is
sweeping away UNCONVENTIONAL bicker-
ngs and jealousies. Under the broad
enins influences of such campaigns as
1hIE. where men of all denominations
meet on a common ground and learn to
understand one another through per-
sonal association, the petty considera-
lions which have been too frequently
the cause of rupture, will, in course of
time, disappear.
Dr.. McKim a Leader.
DR.. McKim is recognized as one of
The leaders among the clergynen OF
Ibis city. His personal assistance at
The services tomorrow and his co-opera-
lion in the work which is being done
are looked upon as encouraging signs
for the future. What is being done in
this section of the city would prove OF
benefit in every other section. II Is
hoped that all possible encouragement
and assistance will be given such move
ments by the people of Washington.
