TILE RESULTS OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONS IN INDIA are thus summarised in an article in the last number of the Calcutta Review :—.. At the close of 1850, fifty years after the modern English and American societies had begun their labours in Ilindustan, and 30 years since they have been carried on in full efficiency, the stations at which the Gospel is preached in India and Ceylon,: arc 260 in number, and engage the services of 403 missionaries, belonging to twenty-two missionary societies. Of these missionaries, '22 are ordained natives. Assisted by 651 native preachers, they proclaim the word of God in the bazaars and markets, not only at their several stations' but in the districts around them. They have thus spread far and wide the doctrines of Christianity, and have made a considerable impression, even upon tho unconverted population. They have founded 300 native churches, containing 17,356 members, or communicants, of whom 5,000 were admitted on the evidence of their being converted. These church members form the nucleus of a native Christian community, comprising 103,000 individuals, who regularly enjoy the blessings of bible instruction, both for young and old. The efforts of missionaries in the cause of education aro now directed to 1,345 day schools, in which 83,700 boys are instructed through the medium of their own vernacular language; to 73 boarding-schools, containing 1,992 boys, chiefly Christian, who reside upon the missionaries' premises, and arc trained up under their eye ; and to 128 dayschools,with 14,000 boys and students, receiving a sound scriptural education through the medium of the English language Their efforts in female education embrace 354 day schools vaintdh I.lo,slogiarlinstiiann d 2.951 boarding-schools,hwmithents2,.4solgirvo, taught almost exclusively in the vernacular languages. The Bible has been wholly translated into ten languages, and the New Testament into five others, not reckoning the Serampore versions.
