THE SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING of the Society was held in the Saloon of the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, on the 4th of April 1888. Principal Sir WILLIAM MUIR, one of the Vice-Presidents, proposed that as the President, LORD POLWARTH, was unable to be present, his son, the MASTER of POLWARTH, be invited to preside. Sir William expressed his regret that he could not remain to take part in the pro­ ceedings, owing to another engagement. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Principal CAIRNS, D.D.,LL.D. The Rev. JOHN FORDYCE, General Secretary and Treasurer, presented the Report and Abstract of Accounts for 1887 ; and mentioned a number of apologies for absence, including 1\1:r John Inglis, who had been announced to speak. Nearly all these gentlemen were detained by the funeral of a much esteemed friend of the Society, Mrs George Smith, who had been a member of the Edinburgh Ladies Committee. The CHAIRMAN, in an able speech, in which he referred to his recent tour in India, moved the following resolution :- " That the Report and. Abstract of Accounts now submitted be adopted as the Seventeenth Report of the Society; that the Directors and Office-Bearers he re­ appointed, with power to fill up vacancies in the Committees; and that the Anglo-Indian Ladies' Union be heartily recognised as an Auxiliary for increasing the Funds, and for the transmission of Christian Literature to India." The Rev. G. G. GILLAN, M.A., Senior Presbyterian Chaplain, Bengal, seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. DUNCAN M'LAREN, Esq., moved, and. the Rev. JOHN M'NEILL, of M'Crie-Roxburgh Church, seconded, the following resolution, which was unanimously carried :- " That our countrymen in India who are destitute of Christian ordinances on the Ra.ilway lines, Tea and Coffee Estates, and elsewhere, have a special claim. on the churches at home for themselves as our own brethren, a claim that is closely connected with the interests of Christian Missions to the multitudinous heathen among whom they dwell." E. A. STUART GRAY, Esq. of Kinfauns, moved, that the thanks of the meeting be offered to the MASTER of POLWARTH, for presiding on this occasion.

Still it waa always felt that the work of English evangelisation in India might be done -equally well, or perhaps better,' by another not. knowing any Indian language, whilst the possession of that knowledge might be a talent burled, if not used to the fullest extent possible. A call hils now come to Afr and Mrs De 8t Dalmas to take the. place for a time of Missionaries who are going home on furlough, -Mr and Mrs Williams ()f the Friends' Mission at Sohagpur in the Central Provinces.

GENERAL REPORT FOR 1887.

HE DIRECTORS in submitting the seventeenth report of the Society, do so with mingled feelings of gratitude and G) .;~ regret,-gratitude that they have been sustained in extending I0. ~ considerably their operations, and regret that the state of the funds has not warranted them to respond to urgent appeals for further extension to districts sadly destitute of Christian ordinances. Larger contributions in India than in any former year, indicate .an appreciation of the Society's efforts which is fitted to stimulate the liberality of Christians in Britain. Besides, we are evidently entering on a new era of Ohristian Missions. Its signs multiply in the United Kingdom and the United States. It is to be signalised in London this year by a Missionary Oonference greater than any ever held in Ohristendom. The Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society is so connected, directly and indirectly, with Missions in one of their g;eatest fields,-directly through its services amongst natives, especially those who know English; and indirectly from the important relation that exists between Missions to the heathen and the character of European residents,-that it may reasonably be expected to share the advantages in men and means from the intensified zeal of the Christian churches. During the past year the Society's Secretary in India, the Rev. H. G. EMERIC DE ST DALMAs, has been indefatigable in the discharge of his various duties. Besides managing the affairs of the Society in India, collecting funds, making monthly pay­ ments to the Evangelists, and corresponding with the General Secretary at home, he has made extensive tours in Western and qentral India, Bengal, the N orth West Provinces, the Punjab and Scinde; everywhere preaching the Gospel. These tours have led to some extension of the' work. He crossed the frontier and went tp Qlletta. Simla' was visited in his holidays, but he preached there, and at least at one place beyond it, in (C the abode of snow." 6 Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. The winter Mission has not been revived on the plan of former years, when Dr SOMERVILLE and others went to India. For the present winter it was less necessary, as the Oh urch Missionary Society sent out a noble band of Clergymen and Laymen, some of whom are hearty friends of the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. Their work has been divided between Europeans and Natives, and a rich blessing is already reported. On a somewhat modified plan, the Society's "\Vinter Mission has been really renewed by the Rev. P. R. MACKAY, of Prestonpans, Scotland, since he left Mussoorie, at the end of October last. While visiting some of the great cities, he has also preached at small stations, and has given special attention to British troops in Cantonments and Camps of Exercise, in which he has been encouraged and aided by the Commander-in-chief, Generals, and other Officers. His reports will be read with grateful interest. Mr Mackay's going to India was the result of the happy co-operation of different Committees, as neither, acting separately, could have secured his valuable services in India. The need of the Union Church at Mussoorie, as represented by the Rev. J. Gelson Gregson, during the hot season, and the desire of the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society for the winter, together with the welcome aid of the Colonial Committee of the Free Church of Scotland, induced Mr Mackay to consent to go, and his promise to ·retUl'n after a year gained the consent of his Presbytery and attached congregation to set him free. The first fruits were gathered in 1887, both among the mountains and on the plains, and every month tells of more. In the Appendix intelligence is given of the work of Mr EMERIC DE ST DALMAS, Mr MACKAY, and other Evangelists i-the Rev. H. RYLANDS BROWN, whose energy, tact, and fervour suit the requirements of the Darjeeling Highlands and surrounding Low­ lands ;-the Rev. C. W. CHRISTIAN in Southern India, who seems not only to have found open doors for himself, but to have had good success in winning souls for Christ ;-Mr FAWCETT SHAW, of Baroda, who, in a large district and part of the year beyond it, has done the work of an Evangelist with much devotedness and success ;-Mr JAMES SHAW, who has gained the confidence of all classes and churches in Scinde, along the new railway to Quetta, and beyond it, and at Quetta officers and men have welcomed his services when without a Chaplain ;-Mr OXBOROUGH, appointed early in 1887, who has already had marked success in the services held by him, in visiting the people, startillg Sunday schools, and dealing with individual Bouls in the North West Provinces, and part of Upper BengaL These· are salaried agents of the Society all the year round, except Messrs Ryland Brown and P. R. Mackay, who· are only engaged for the cold season. The now venerable Dr A. G. Fraser Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. 7 bas given occasional gratuitous aid in the Central Provinces, which is highly valued. The Society, by granting an allowance for expenses only, without any salary, has had the hearty aid of the Rev. S. J. JONES for three months before bis return to England; of Mr F. NICHOLSON, whose present centre is Chunar, near Allaha­ bad; and the Rev. Messrs IfULLER and PALMER, American Missionaries, in the Central Provinces, since the beginning of November. The work of the Rev. ISAAC F. Row, an Agent of the Society, calls for special notice. His work is of a varied and often difficult character on the one hand, and one of signal blessing on the other. He spent nearly half the year faithfully labouring in Assam, where he received a warm welcome, and was often urged to return. His home is at Bangalore. During several months after his return from Assam he resumed work in coffee plantations, at the gold mines, and along the railways, etc. Before returning to Assam, where he is now, the Rev. J. M. W ALKRR, an English Church Chaplain at Bangalore, invited Mr Row to aid him in a mission for a week or ten days. He did so; and it proved a time of awakening and revival. So deep was the impression that' services were continued for weeks in connection with other Churches, and the result was a remarkable ingather­ ing of souls among Europeans, and the refreshment of God's people, such as had not been known since a visit, long ago, of the Rev. William Taylor, who is now a Bishop in Africa. As Bangalore is a place of many privileges, these services were not on the line of the Society'S ordinary work; but a new example bas been given of a Divine blessing on hearty co-operation by min­ isters of different Churches; and the high appreciation of Mr Row's services was marked by collections spontaneously made for the Society by Mr Walker's Congregation, and by Wesleyan and Epis­ copal Methodists. To Mr Row himself it was a precious and most seasonable experience before returning to Assam.

The Directors have to record a bereavement since last Annual Meeting, by the decease of a much esteemed Vice-President, Lord Kinnaird, who, ready to every good work, was connected with the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society almost from its commencement. For many years his Lordship was identified with numerous religious and charitable objects-Home and Foreign. First in the House of Commons, and latterly in the House of Lords, he was always found in the band of Christian legislators. He has now been taken up higher. Turning to the ever-recurring subject of tc ways and means," tbe income of the Society is somewhat larger tban in 1886, Indian contributions more than balancing a slight decrease in this country. 8 ~nglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. The total income has been £1829, l6s. 5d., including a grant of £50 from the Colonial Committee of the Free Church towards Mr Mackay's Mission. The income for 1886 was £1677, 17s. lOd., showing an increase of £151, 18s. 7d. The expenditure has been £2226, 18s. 3d. This is £573, Os. 9d. more than in 1886, and £397, Is.10d. more than the actual income for the year, so that the working balance is considerably less than a year ago. The Foreign expenditure is £690, 14s. 7d. more than in 1886, and the Home eAl'enses £57, l3s. lOde less. It is calculated that if the contributions in this country could be doubled, the work in India might be increased three or four fold, as home expenses would be nearly the same as now, and Indian contributions would be greatly increased. THE .ANGLO-INDIAN LADIES' UNION has done good service to the Society, and its Report appears on another page. The RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY, of London, has given again ft large grant of tracts to the Society, permitting a selection by the Secretary. Hearty thanks are due to the Committee of that eminently useful society. Honorary Secretaries, Treasurers, and Lady Oollectors are entitled to grateful acknowledgments. Not a few ladies do their self­ denying work most heartily, and if such could be multiplied great results would be seen in India. It is, however, impossible to reach many who have means to spare, and who would readily respond tG a personal appeal. .There are many places and many homes in this land not yet reached, and hence the need, not only for more Collectors, but also for spontaneous contributions to be sent directly to the Treasurer. There have been a few such last .year, some of them from mothers who have sons in India. One of these writes, in sending a guinea, that her son is in " a place where there is not a single ray of Gospel light." . The Society not only calls the attention of Anglo-Indians, or' families connected.with India in relationships and commerce there, to its work for Europeans, it appeals to the Ohristian patriotism of Christians generally. If funds were increased, men might be appointed who are ready in India and in Britain for evangelistic work; men .who, from want of means, cannot now be engaged. There are others in these times endowed with gifts and grace for service, and with means for self-support. Not a few of such have gone to Ohina, and some to India. The appeal in former reports for VOLUNTEER EVANGELISTS must be renewed. The fields are vast, the need is ,great, the doors are open, the way is prepared, and the question only remains, WHO WILL GO 1 .An Evangelist can .begin work in India at once in his mother­ tongue. By it he not only reaches his fellow-countrymen, but EngliRh speaking natives. .Any vernacular can gradually be Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. 9 acquired for increased usefulness. As Evangelists are not bound to a centre, such as a congregation, college, or school, they would have districts assigned to them in the Plains, over which to itinerate; and, if obliged to spend some time for rest or health's sake at a hill station, ample opportunities would be found there for usefulness. Simla, Kasauli, Murree, Dalhousie, Mussoorie, Nynee Tal, Darjeeling, Shillong, Mahableshwar, Ootacamund, Coonoor, are not destitute of Christian ordinances, but Evangelical Ministers would hail the temporary help of earnest Evangelists. When Mr HUDSON TAYLOR last year made an appeal for 100 Missionaries for China, 600 offered to go. Some of those selected maintain themselves. For native work in India, China, and Africa, thousands are needed. For our countrymen in India a much smaller number would suf­ fice. The importance of the work cannot be estimated by numbers required. Taking Europeans and Eurasians together, there may be about a quarter of a million in India. The importance of their being truly Christian is not merely a personal matter, it is of incal­ culable importance to the 2!S0,000,000 natives among whom they d well. Sir William Muir said in London, years ago, that" Every European in India is either a Missionary of Christ or of Satan." And the ex-Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, Sir Rivers Thompson, who was a liberal supporter of the Society in India, said in Cal­ cutta that "Every Englishman in India should be a Christian 'Inissiona1·Y." To the testimony of these two distinguished Anglo­ Indians may be added a third from a native Prince, the Kanwar Rarnam Singh, .Aluwaliah, C.I.E., who, in a letter to the Secretary, writes :-" If the Europeans and Eurasians in India would only exemplify a real Christianity before the people of India, in thei'l' walk and conversation, their influence for good would be a power in itself: and would soon be felt." The Directors in bringing the claims of the Society before the Churches, would invite earnest Christians to unite in prayer, that our countrymen in India of all ranks and classes, from their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and the repre­ sentative of the Queen-Empress, to the humblest member of the European community, may have grace" to live soberly, righteously, and godly" in the midst of the heathen, and that He who has under His touch the upper and nether springs of spiritual gifts and mate­ rial resources, may so incline to hearty liberality those who possess the silver and the gold, and so multiply prepared workers who may be sent, that the 'Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified in our great Eastern Empire.

INTRODUOTIONS FOR THOSE GOING TO INDIA, TO MINISTERS, MISSIONARIES, OR EVANGELISTS.

ON the suggestion of one of the Vice-Presidents, R. A. Macfie, Esq. of Dreghorn, the Directors considered the great importance of furnishing those going to India, and especially young men, with introductions that would bring them under Christian influences. The Honorary Secretaries agreed to correspond with Secretaries of Committees and Editors of Periodicals connected with the different Churches. In Scotland, the Rev. JOHN MATHESON, M.A. (Glenclutha, Juniper Green, N.B.) has had courteous replies from several Secretaries, and he hopes that the subject will be brought before the United Presbyterian Synod, and the two General AssembJies in May. In England, Dr ROBERT PRINGLE (4 Gran'Ville Park, Lewisham, London, 8. E.) has agreed to correspond with Secretaries and Editors in England. The work is more complex than in Scotland; but Christian Editors are" ready to every good work;" and, if they take this up, much good will be the result. The General Secretary will correspond with Secretaries and Editors in Ireland. There are great practical difficulties from the fact that our countrymen are often 1 00 miles or more from any church; and in some cases more than 1000 miles from the nearest Minister of their own church. To take Calcutta as an example, there are individuals and families that keep up a real connection with congregations in the capital, though living hundreds of miles away. In such cases, however, there may be Missionaries near, or Evan­ gelists may occasionally visit them. Where Ministers or Christian friends have any difficulty in this matter, help will be gladly given by the Honorary Secretaries; or by the General Secretary, who has travelled in nearly all the Provinces of India, and in Burmah. To carry out the plan there should be two kinds of introductions. One should be given to anyone going to India; and a letter should be sent giving his name and address to a Clergyman, Missionary, or Evangelist. If these plans be acted upon, much evil may be prevented; and great and lasting good may be accomplished. No doubt such introductions have been often given, but not in all cases where they might have been most useful, and more than doubly useful if done in the two-fold way here suggested.

ANGLO-INDIAN LADIES' UNION. P,'esident. The Right Honourable DOWAGER LADY LAWRENCE, London. Vice-President. LADY MUIR, Edinburgh. Han. Secretary and l Jreasurer, Mrs FORDYCE, 33 Sutherland Place, Bayswater, London, W. ANOTHER year, the second of the existence of the Anglo-Indian Ladies' Union, has terminated with 1887, and gratitude to God for the past, hopefulness for the future, and a devout, cheerful spirit marked the closing meeting of the year in the Hon. Secretary's house. The little gatherings of members on each first Tuesday of the month in the aftel'lloon, for prayer, reading the Word, hearing reports, and for conversation, had been regularly held during the year, and proved always times of refreshing and mutual helpfulness. They gained in interest as members became gradually better acquainted with the districts in India, the work, and the Evangelists themselves. The membership during the past year had only the slender accession of sixteen, which, with the thirty-five of 1886, numbered in December fifty-one. All, without exception, were ready to every good work The sustained transmission of good literature in various forms has proved very helpful, and has been much appreciated in India. Many Europeans there received regular reading, weekly and fort­ nightly, and to some of the Evangelists packets were sent occa­ sionally for distribution on their tours. These met with most grateful acknowledgments, as also letters written by several ladies. The suggestion at the October meeting, that Oh"istmas cards, papers, and letters might be sent, to reach at the festive season, received not only a cordial response at once, but several ladies were­ most liberal in the quantity and quality they sent gratuitously to special addresses and to Evangelists in India. Many sad hearts were touched by these Forget-me-nots from the dear old country, and seemed to hear the sound of the Christmas carol and the joy­ bells stealing across the sea, as words of love from earth and heaven met their moistened eyes on those lovely cards and precious letters, so well selected. Nor were the children forgotten. Ere another Christmas approaches might not this effort be greatly expanded by non-members getting addresses for India from the Han. Secretary and sending well-selected Christmas papers, 12 A. nglo-Indian Evangelisation Society.

cards, or booklets to isolated Europeans or neglected districts? The expense by book-post is easily met, being small even for packets, and the benefit and blessing these convey readily repay all outlay. To all the sendm's of Christian literature during the past year most hearty thanks are due. Another proposal of the Hon. ·Secretary met with approbation, which aimed at an increase to the funds by securing, from personal friends in India, gifts of Eastern manufacture, on a modest scale, to be disposed of at small private gatherings or otherwise by the members, for the benefit of the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society through the Ladies' Union. Only from three ladies have articles arrived, and to them, at Simla, Calcutta, and Darjeeling, sincere thanks are rendered for their prompt and useful supply, which, chiefly by the kind efforts of one lady member, was swiftly and nearly all turned into hard cash. It is well worth noticing that with only an addition of sixteen new members, the sum of 1886 has been in 1887 handed over doubled to the General Treasurer. The Financial Statement of the Society for the past year ending with December, is as follows :- By member cards-I6 at 2s. 6(1 £2 0 o Balance by do. in hand of 1886 1 12 6

freely circulated, with and without special notes, out did J;lot realise the result desired, of a quickly increasing membership. This leaflet is again inserted for information and reference, and, it is hoped, will commend the Union to every reader of the Report by its simple rules, and direct aims and efforts.

LEAFLET. HE Anglo-Indian Ladies' Union, in connection with the Anglo-Indian Evan­ T gelisation Society (which has existed since 1870) is formed on the principle that" UNION IS STRENGTH," and that the place and country of birth or residence have a special claim on interest and aid. There is to be no salary given to the Managers of the Ladies' Union; every­ thing is to be a pure labour of love for our exiled countrymen and women in India. The rules of this Union are very few and simple, and, it is hoped, will insure a large membership. 1. Only Anglo-Indian ladies who, at any time of life, have resided in India, are invited to become members. 2. Every lady joining the Union shall pay 2s. 6d. to entitle her to member­ ship. This sum, paid only once, will cover the initial and incidental expenses in starting the Union. 3. Every Member is to give or gather not less than 5s. annually, more if possible, and send the amount to the Hon. Treasurer, not later than 1st December of each year, so that the accounts may be audited and appear in the Society's Report, with a special entry. Ladies already Collectors for the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society are not expected to pay 5s. extra. 4. The Members are to ofl'er prayer on the fir8t Tuesday of each month, either singly or in groups, for the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society, the Anglo­ Indian Ladies' Union, the Evangelists, and all Anglo-Indians, whether in India or elsewhere. 5. The Members are expected to ma.ke the Society and Union known, and to interest friends in their operations, to get addresses of Anglo-Indian ladies, and send them to the Hon. Secretary; to solicit ladies to send Papers, Periodicals, and other Christian Literature, regularly to isolated Europeans in or near small Stations, or scattered over wide districts in India, for which purpose the Sec­ retary will give addresses,and attend to all inquiries and communications. It is earnestly requested that the Members will send their Subscriptions at latest during the month of November, to the Hon. Treasurer, either in postal orders or cheques, if at a distance, without special reminder. Attention to this saves considerable postage. All contributions are acknowledged by receipts. It has been matter of regret that the suggestion in last Report to multiply friendly little meetings has not met with a practical response, but it may receive favour in the current year. It is quite impossible to reach Anglo-Indian ladies in this leviathan city or elsew here without such an arrangement. That such meetings benefit the cause, and are pleasant to the members, is demonstrated by the one held at Sutherland Place, which originated new efforts, inexpensive in themselves, but of real service to the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society in Britain and in India. Blessings never l'emain single, they multiply and may become of incalculable value. Anglo-Indian ladies with bright homes and kind friends, might try the experiment. They would find it pleapant to give an hour now and then for the purpose of interesting other ladies in the 14 Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society.

A. L E. S., the .Anglo-Indian Ladies' Union, and work in India. The intelligence given is the suasive power to win woman's heart to respond to the claims of her countrymen and countrywomen in India. The reports from that land cannot fail to touch the responsibility and patriotism of Britain's womanhood. To remain in ignorance or apathy regarding the European community, which more or less helps the prestige of Britain, or lays it in the' dust before the heathen, is too grave a subject not to be p'ressed home earnestly on every true woman's conscience and consideration. Women were ministering spirits to our Lord during His sojourn and sufferings on this sin-blighted earth. Their sympathy and tokens of devotion He valued, and specially commended. They are handed down to the Christian sisterhood as a holy legacy to the present day; and Mary'S ministry at Bethany may still point to a precious box to pour its fragrance in holy, self-denying service on this world's need, recognising the Lord's words, "YE DID IT UNTO ME." In the days of the apostles there were devout, and honourable women not a few, even in royal households, who laboured much in the Lord, and were eulogised by Paul as bestowing (I much labour" on the disciples, helping them by gifts. Mayall .Anglo-Indian ladies be animated and stimulated by such examples in the early Church, to take a loving active part in sustaining the efforts made by the Society, and Ladies' Union, to send the means of grace to our own countrymen and countywomen in India, which are so essential for the life that now is, and that which is to come. Thine is the earth and Thine the soil Of human souls, 0 Lord, and Thon Dost bid man till, and sow, and toil Until the gathered sheaves shaJl bow, To Thee, great Owner of these fields When the whole world its increase yields.

.AsSAM AND THE FRIENDS OF THE LATE COLONEL FOQuETT. No one has done so much for the spiritual interests of Assam as the late Colonel Foquett. For more than thirty years he devoted himself to this work; and during the last few days of his long life his great concern was that his old friends should continue to con­ tribute to the Society after his departure. They have done so in 1887, and the Secretary has had several touching tributes to the worth of the Founder of the Assam Mission. .A generous supporter of the Society has paid the cost of the portrait. that adorns this Report.

EXTRACTS FROM INDIAN REPORT~ By THE REV. H. G. EMERIC DE ST DAilMAS. OUR Indian Report is reduced in size this year, as it is intended to furnish all Indian subscribers with the English Report, which will contain their names in the general subscription lists, and thus save the cost of double printing. There has been steady progress in the extent of the Society's operations during 1887. The first additional evangelist was Mr Oxborough, who had recently arrived from England when he joined our Mission at the beginning of February. With Head-quarters at Gorakhpur he has been working a new district on the Bengal and N. W. Railway, and on the Tirhoot State Railway, where he finds encouraging openings among indigo planters and at railway centres. Further extension of our evangelistic work has been made in Berar, by the arrangement with the North Berar Mission, for one of their missionaries stationed at Akola to visit regularly Badnera, Shegaon, Khamgaon, and a few other places in Berar and the Oentral Provinces. Mr Fuller and Mr Palmer of Akola have been engaged in this way during the last two months of 1887, receiving only a small grant to cover travelling expenses, as this English work is undertaken in addition to their regular mission work in the Marathi language. The Indian Secretary of the Mission, on his return from England at the end of 1886, made an extensive tour in North India, visiting Calcutta and many places in Bengal, the North West.Provinces, Punjab, and Scinde, during the first four months of 1887. The Gorakhpur district was surveyed and the way prepared for the new evangelist there. The mission in Scinde, commenced during the previous year and which received only a grant-in.aid, was fully incorporated in the work of the Society as the result of the representations made to the Directors. Mr De St Dalmas was accompanied on many parts of his tour by his wife, and they visited Simla during May and June, where some. liberal contributions were received for the mission-a good collection being made at the Union ·Church. During the second half of 1887 the Secretary has been chiefly in Poona making various short journeys, the longest extending to a month, including a visit to the Baroda and Rajputana line as far as Abu Road. He is now on his way to Central India and the Oentral Provinces for a more extended tour. During the cold season of 1887-1888 there are more evangelists at work for our Mission than at any previous period of its history. + Whilst we record this fact with gratitude to God for what is being done, we are conscious that it is very little in comparison with the need, and we would calIon all who are interested in the spiritual welfare of our large and increasing European population all over India, to join in prayer and effort for a far greater extension of our Mission in the coming year. In a cond~nsed report we cannot find room for many erlracts, hut those which follow will give an idea of the character of the work which is being carried on all over India, and mostly among those who have few Christian privileges, and in some cases none, except those afforded by the visits and 'Services of our e-vangel­ ists-one of whom writes :- " As I look hack over the past year and think of the condition of the places in my district before I came here, I think I may say that I have not run in vain. To God be all the glory! At places where the people hardly ever thought of Sunday before I commenced to visit them, the Gospel is now preached pretty regularly, and forty or fifty are to be seen at times. listening attentively to the old old story of God's love to sinners-their children are being taught to think of their Creator and Saviour in the days of their youth, and, judging from the lives and actions of some, work for eternity has been done." Although our Missiou is chiefly on behalf of scattered Europ~ in India, the Gospel seed is often sown, and that in a variety of ways, amongst heathens and Mahomedans, in English, in the vernacular, and by interpretation, also among native Christians and Roman Catholics. Two or three extracts will illustrate this. * Parts are omitted to avoid repetition of what appears in other parts of the Annual Report.- J. F. t The writer's review only goes back to 1880. In 1878 and 1879 there were as many labourers as now; but the crash of Hanks and general depression led to a reduction in 1880.-J. F. 16 Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society.

THE REV. PATRICK R. MACKAY OF PRESTONPANS. Mr Mackay left Mussoorie at the end of October, after a season of earnest and very successful work at that important sanatorium. The following is one of his Reports in full :- "On 26th November I began work at Laurencepur Camp. There was one regiment of British Cavalry (King's Dragoon Guards) in camp, and two batteries of Artillery. There was some ilifficulty about procuring tents for service, but through the kindness of the Total Abstinence Society, and the sergeants of the King's Dragoon Guards, I was able to hold service each evening during my stay, in the tents assigned to the Soldiers' Total Abstinence Society. The men gathered in large numbers, notwithstanding that no seats were to be had. On several occasions the tents were quite crowded, and the men listened with real interest. A large number signed the total abstinence pledge, at the meetings where special prominence was given to the evils of intemperance. It· was a heart stir­ ring sight to see the men standing or leaning a~ainst the side and centre poles of the dimly lighted tents, eagerly listening while the theme was Christ and His salvation. One evening at my invitation a number of men came to my tent for prayer. There, on the bare sand, we knelt, and men prayed· for their comrades, for friends at home, and for themselves, that love might not grow cold,-God was known to us as near. On ard December Rev. J. Griffith, Abbotabad, a chaplain of the Ohurch of England, came into camp. We divided the work on Saturday and Sabbath evenings. As Mr Griffith purposed staying in the camp until it broke up and would ~onduct services each week, I judged it best to leave the work in his hands. I left the camp with regret on the evening of 5th December. D 18 Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society.

There were ten services held during my stay. The men were visited in their tents. I have to -express my indebtedness to General Sir Michael Dillon, K.C.B., and to Briga.dier-General Luck, C.B. Through the kindness of General Dillon tents were forwarded in which to hold the services. To me personally, General Luck showed much kindness. "SIALKoT.-On the evening of 7th December I addressed a gathering of soldierS in Mr Youngson's Church. I regretted I could not stay longer here. "LAnoRE.-Next evening; on Thursday, I spoke to one of the largest audiences I have yet addressed in India during the cold season. The large hall of the Mission Oollege was filled with an audience composed almost entirely of University students. The subject was the 'Recent Religious Movement in the Scottish Universities.' At Saharunpur, Lahore, and at Sukkur, where educated natives have been the audience, I have been much struck with the numbers attending and the interest shown. There is a field whose importance cannot be exaggerated. The desire to hear is strong. How shall they hear without a preacher 1" "I sta.yed in Lahore until the morning of Tuesday 13th December. During my stay four evangelistic services were held, aud I lectured twice on religious subjects to e.ducated natives. The civil hospital was also visited. "SCINDE.-At Mr Shaw's invitation Scinde was visited. Leaving Lahore on Tuesday morning. Jacobahad was reached on Wednesday afternoon. A service was held that evening. Next morning we started for Kurrachi, which was reached on Friday 16th December. On Saturday I preached in the American Episcopal Methodist Church. On Sabbath I preached in the morning at Manora, and ~ the evening in the. Scottish Church. Mr Watson, the chaplain, undertook to give his people an early opportunity of aiding the Society's efforts. I left Kurrachi on Monday, and arrived in Sukkar on Tuesday afternoon. On the invitation of Mr Cotton, O.M.S., I addressed a large gathering of educated natives. Next evening, a second time, service was held at Jacobahad. At ten o'clock that night we started for Quetta., and on the afternoon of the following day reached Hirock, where we remained for service. Quetta was reached on Friday evening, and that same evening a service was held in the prayer room. There are twQ regiments of British Infantry and two batteries of Artillery stationed at Quetta. Four services were held with the men, and one with the children, and the hospitals were visited. I left Quetta on Monday morning, and reached J acobahad. early on Tuesday morning. Service was held at ten o'clock, and again, at the people's invitation, at six o'clock in the evening. There were large gatherings at both services. Ferozepore was reached late on Thursday. The Lancashire regiment is stationed here. Services were· held on Friday and Saturday evenings, 30th and 31st December. I visited the men in barracks. Hospitals have been visited, and hundreds of tracts were distributed. I formed a high opinion of Mr Shaw, and the importance of his work. I shall forward a separate report in reference to Quetta, containing suggestions for consideration. "

After the above was in type, the report of the MUSSOORIE and LANDOUR UNION CHURCH for 1887 has come to hand. It contains abundant proof of Mr Mackay's usefulness at one of the largest of India's Hill Stations. The congregation un.a.J:!.inlously.desired to retain his services; but he had promised to return to his cOngregation, and he is expected in London before the end of ApriL The BoritJJaJgGuardian,-long edited by a man of God, whose memory is revered in India, and .Britain, and America-the late Rev. George Bowen,-on iihe 25th of February" says :- "We regret to learn that the Rev. Patrick R. Mackay, who, during the past year served as pastor of the Uniou Ch1,11'Ch, Mussoorie, with great acceptance, is about to leave India. Having been 'loaned' for a year by his own congregation at Prestonpa1ls they demand his return. We do not wonder that his people want him back; but for India's sake, we greatly wish they might remember the words of lihe Lord Jesus, how He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.''' The following paragraph is from the Indian Witness, published i:ri. Calcutta :­ «The Rev. ·Mr Mackay of Landour and Mussoorie, has beeu holding special evangelistic services in Meerut, and other places in North India. These meetings have been the means, not only of the building ·up of God's children, but of awakening not a few to a sense .'01 their conditfon as lost before God. Faithfully bas the old, yet new story of the Cross been tpld, by a loving llaster-teaeher. Those who listened to, 'Self-deceived' and 'Range Finding' will not soon forget the earnestness of the preacher. The meetings are well attended every place Mr Mackay goes." 11 nglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. 19

THE REV. H. RYLANDS BROWN. During two months before and two after the hot season lir Brown was eIJ,­ gaged chiefly among the Tea Planters of the Darjeeling district. Much of his wOJ;k is too personal and private to be reported; but a few glimpses of it may be given. " 1 am writing in the jungle, in the thick of my winter mission. The work is hard, but God in answer to prayer opens doors: pray that He will open hearts. A good service yesterday. Day by day a way opens before me. I often do not know from day to day in what direction the cloud will move." A planter told Mr Brown that he was the first rninister who had visited him.. This has often happened in many parts ofIndia. A curious indication of interest was shown at a meeting of eight persons-" A harmonium was s,ent several miles on a bullock cart for the service." Rain comes in torrents in these regions. One Lord's Day Mr Brown and two planters rode together to another house where the service was to be. "The rain came and we had a soaking, and all had to appear at the service in borrowed gar­ ments ! " But the word had" free course." "I spoke earnestly of sin, pardon, and judgment to come." . To a few of the more accessible places Mrs Brown went with her husband. The following paragraph tells of a solitary European; and of the readiness of the evan­ gelist and his help-meet to turn their visit to good account :-"We were met by the only European resident in the place. On opening the gate of his compound, he said to my wife, you are the first lady who has ever entered it. Our host sent out a notice in the course of the morning calling the Baboos together at the Dak Bungalow in the evening, notifying that there would be an address to those who understood English by me, and an address in Bengali by Mrs Brown. A consider­ able number assembled and attentively listened to the story of the cross in English, &ond also in their own tongue. May God's blessing be abundantly Qutpoured on this joint effort." Mr Brown in his December Report tells of varied work. HeFe is an e'Cample of alternate efforts for Europeans and natives at a station,where there is neither minister nor missionary, on the North Bengal Railway :-" On Sunday afternoon the Institute was well filled, all the lads of the shops were present, besides older hands, several Baboos and a sprinkling of children. ., In the evening I went to the Brahms Somaj meeting-house, where a dozen Baboos were devoutly worshipping. I was glad to respond to their invitation to say a word, and still more glad to kneel with them in prayer, earnestly seeking that they might be brought into fuller light. Considerable interest was manifested in my visit to this pla~e where I had not been since last cold weather." . Mr Brown closes his reports for 1887 by a cordial reference tQ the missionaries of the C. M. S., and specially to a welcome visit of the Rev. Filmer Sullivan and Miss Bromley. He offers a suggestion that may touch some hearts. " Chris­ tian friends at home seeing the report might help the society's good work by writing to their friends in India to show an interest in the visits of the evangelists. 0,

THE REV. C. W. CHRISTIAN'S sphere is on the Madras Railway,and places near it. A few facts..a.Q.d ,?xtraots from his reports will give some idea of his work. In March he writes: "I have held in all twenty-two services at seven stations." But other duties filled up the intervals. Of one place he says: "Many sick among the families, and as I have prayed in their homes for and with the sick ones, God has ¢ven me ac.cess to many hearts." At another place Mr Christian's heart was gladdened after the evening service by a young mall wishing him. to speak to him abo:ut his soul, and lead him. to Jesus. He was evidently in much concern about his soul. . • . Before parting, "he testified to hiS having found peace with God." Subsequent letters to Mr Christian gave proof that the work was deep and real. Of another place, in April, he writes, "I have heard of several incidents which show that good is being done,-thoughtful inquiries by the young, and regular reading of the Bible by others who had 20 .A. nglo-Indian Evangelisation Society.

previously neglected God's Word." In May Mr Christian tells of a visit to a small station without the means of grace. He got a warm welcome and an invita­ tion to return often. The place has a remarkable name-KRISTMANAGAPURAM. "The services on the West Coast (Calicut, etc.) were very well attended, and it is most encouraging to see the hearty interest and co· operation of our German Brethren of the Basil M.ission." Another month Mr Christian tells us of several hopefnl conversions. He met a man of more than ordinary intelligence, who confessed that infidel writings had quite unsettled his mind, and rendered him anything but happy. "He promised me that he would cease reading such works, and that he would destroy them and study God's Word." The following summary of one month's work may be interesting :-Stations visited, 8; Services held, 19; Pastoral visits, 42; Miles travelled, 1390; Professed conversions, 4. Of a service at Erode, in August, he writes: "The building being on the road· side. many natives were attracted by the music, a friend, Mr Bland, very kindly bringing his organ and playing for us. Twenty·two persons attended, besides ten or fifteen educated natives who stood at the windows listening to the preached word." Another incident illustrates the readiness of the Agents to act as Missionaries to the Natives when opportunities occur :-" Travelled from Raichur with a Native Officer of one of Her Majesty's regiments. Found him an intelligent inquirer. He told me that he was almost persuaded to be a Christian. He accepted and read a Tamil paper, and we had some profitable conversation in Hindustani, during which I endeavoured to point him to J eSllS. " A gentleman (Mr Carroll) met Mr Christian on the railway, and invited him to Vellore. He went, and on Sunday morning thirty were present at a service, and on Monday seventy! There are American Missionaries here; but English services are needed and appreciated. At the railway station, four miles off, twenty·four were present. They had not had any services for many months. Of another place, not on the railway, he writes, ":It has hitherto been utterly destitute of any religious services, and it seems likely to continue to be so, if not visited by the Society's Evangelists." Of Whitefield Colony Mr Christian says, "The services here are always well attended, and evidence is not wanting that good is being done." At Sansmond, "The Colonists shew their appreciation of my occasional visits by coming to a forenoon service on a week.day, which involves a setting. aside of work on their farms and in their homes." At another place two persons were deeply impressed at a Sunday evening service. "One of them, a Roman Catholic, came to me afterwards at Mr --'s house. It was a great joy to point him to Jesus, turning his gaze from Virgin and saints to Christ Himself." Soon he made a remarkable profession, and offered prayer himself, with thanksgiving with Mr Christian. It will interest the supporters of the Society to notice the appreciation of Mr Christian's services by the people. The contributions remitted by him in 1887 rises from Rs.1l4, 6a. in 1886, to Rs. 521, 13a. 3p. in 1887, more than four·fold.

MR FREDERICK NICHOLSON. 1887 has been a year of sore trials and fruitful service. Mrs N irholson, an earnest Christian, was taken early home, leaving him with three motherless children-one of them an "infant of days." His centre is now at Chunar, near Allahabad. He has visited various cantonments, and the hand of the Lord has been with him among the soldiers. He generally finds a welcome, but not always. The wonder is that so many soldiers welcome the Volunteer Evangelist, when the Government that provides Chaplains to lead them in the way of salvation, also paves for them the broad wa.y that leads to destruction, so that the way of transgressors may not be so hard as it might otherwise be. No wonder that the indignation of Mr M 'Neill was kindled at our Annual Meeting, as the indignation of millions may soon be. A gentleman who has just returned from India says these accursed Acts are doomed. We .have only room for one incident in Mr Nicholson's report, written in December, that will gladden the heart of good MISS MACPHERSON, and her many friends. He says :-" The last week I was at Amballa (January 1887) the soldiers Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. 21 asked me to conduct a Bible Reading. which I gladly consented to do. About an hour before the time of meeting I went through the quarters of the 2nd Dragoon Guards, and invited them to come to the meeting. One responded, and that one at the close of the meeting asked for our prayers, and accepted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. His history, which I learnt from his own lips on a subsequent occasion, was a remarkable one. He had gone out as one of Miss Macpherson's children to Canada, and was settled in a good home there, but longed to see more of the world, and so ran away and became a soldier. He has borne faithful witness for Christ since that night he gave Him his heart in the Bible class. His name is Fletcher, and he is a full corporal in his troop. ,.

MR G. W. OXBOROUGH. Mr Oxborough resides at Gorakhpur; but his district is a very large one. Besides the Bengal and North Western Railway, Mr Oxborough visits stations on the Tirhoot State Railway, and he has got a hearty welcome at several stations of the East Indian Railway, in the district where the late Mr Sandwell laboured so faithfully. Mr Oxborough has established Sunday schools at Gorakhpur and Somastipore. In November he writes of these places :-" The schools are pros­ pering, and on the increase, and are gaining for me many friends." Again he writes :-" Several of the Railway Officials here and in Tirhoot who were at first silent spectators of my work are coming forward and giving me words of cheer, assuring me that my work, which at times has been discouraging and uphill, has not been in vain. " There is one feature of Mr Oxborough's work that is desirable for all the districts. By the liberality of the Rev. F. H. Baring (son of the late Bishop of Durham), a colporteur has been placed under the direction of Mr Oxborough. By going along the lines a considerable quantity of wholesome literature is pur­ chased, adding to the few means of grace available. If the different Bible and rrract Societies in India would do likewise with all the agents the co-operation would promote the objects of all Christian Societies as well as those that directly co-operate. MOl'e details cannot be given; but an earnest labourer is in the field, and the hand of the Lord appears to be with him.

THE REV. ISAAC F. Row. A Record of Mr Row's labours last year in Southern and North-Eastern India, the extreme points of his tours from the N eilgherry Hills to the borders of Thibet near Sudya, being nearly 2000 miles apart, might fill half this Report, and add too much to the expenses of printing and postage. As to Southern India his work was on the Railway, at gold mines, and ·on coffee estates. Only a glimpse can be given of the awakening at Bangalore referred to in the General Report. Here are extracts from "HARVEST FIELD," a Bangalore periodical edited by our much-valued friend the Rev. HENRY HAIGH. The paper is written by the Rev. WILLIAM SACKETT. "The Lord God has graciously visited His people at st John's Hill, Bangalore, and a revival of true religion has cheered the hearts of all workers in the Gospel service. In December arrange­ ments had been made for a special mission, but the missioner, the Rev. A. Burnet, met with an accident, and thus the services were postponed." ...... Just as this happened the Rev. I: F. Row, assisted by other ministers and laymen, commenced a week of services at the school-room adjoining the English Church. Crowded audiences told the earnest spirit of the people. At the end of that week, it was felt it would be disastrous to discontinue the meetings. The people were ripe for blessing. Faith was growing. So the short story is that they have been continued, one week at the Methodist MemOrial Church, and one week at the Wesleyan Chapel. The congregations have been marked by unwonted fervour of spirit. Night by night souls have been led from darkness to light, the number of names reaching sixty or seventy. As in all such work the benefit has been two-fold. Sinners have been converted and saints have prepared for and received new baptisms of grace and power," 22 Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society.

Among the converts: A was a'soldier of the 52nd Oxford Regiment. He told his comrades one night that he didn't believe anything about the Bible or God. He had devoured atheistic works, and was a veri­ table Goliath of Gath to the Christians in the barracks; but a night or two ago he was singing, " Sing them over again to me Wonderful words of life," as though he would make up for not singing them twice, by singing them once with a two­ fold heartiness. B was a young fellow studying hard for the Medical Department. His two friends exhorted him to find salvation. One of them wrote him an affectionate and manly appeal for Christ's sake. He replied in a curt but gentlemauly letter. Last night he was urging a military man to accept the service of the King of kings, C was another young man of good position. Three others, full of a new love, attacked him in his drawing-room. " It's no use," said he; .. I spent an hour in prayer on fast-day and Christ wouldn't save me. I'm sure He won't now." Bnt there in tbe drawing-room he found Jesus tbe 'mighty to save.' D was a lady whose two little girls first found Christ, and tben brought their mother to tbe meeting to be gladdened later than her children. Often a deep penitence has been as marked as tbe quiet faitb, and by tbe wicket gate these pilgrims have got on to tbe King's higbway. As to tbe Christians, it bas been truly delightful to , see fine soldiers pleading with their persecutors to take the Christ wbo gave them joy, while two godly Colonels have striven by prayer and example and persuasion to lead others to salvation.

• •• I • The various buildings have been crowded with earnest worshippers night by night. ' I tell you,' said a sage veteran Christian, 'St John's Hill is shaken by the mighty power of God.' From borne to home, from heart to heart, from cburch to cburcb, the grace has passed, till gladness has come for sadness. and prayer is turned to praIse." Mr Row's reports of his tour in Upper Assam are interesting and suggestive. He tells of great spiritual destitution, and some of its results; of cordial welcome and hearty hospitality; of readiness to attend services, even when requiring long rides; of touching cases of bereavement, when he was able to comfort the mourners; of the delight of new arrivals in meeting him j and the lamentations of both ladies and gentlemen who had been years in Assam over the want of old privileges; of spontaneous contributions to the society; and earnest invitations to return, which he has done, going up the great Brahmaputra in sorrow over the sudden death of several friends whom he hoped to meet again. The claims of tea and coffee planters, South and North, are so important that a separate statement must be drawn up in order not only to sustain the interest of the Society's supporters; but with a view to enlist the aid of the proprietors of tea and coffee estates, shareholders in the great companies and others who gain by the labours of our fellow countrymen who superintend the cultivation of tea and coffee, and the processes by which they are prepared for the use of all classes from the Queen Empress to the humblest cottager. Let these cups "that cheer but not inebriate" remind all to pray for, and many to help, the far off PLANTERS.

MR FAWCETT SHAW. The district assigned to Mr Shaw is a very large one, and he has prosecuted his work with much vigour and success. He now resides at Baroda; but he travels from Bombay to Adjmere, and now and then on the lines of railway between Ahmedabad and the Gulf of Cutch. He spent his holidays in the Neilgherries, doing good work nearly all the time, and extending his stay beyond his month for effective service among coffee planters and others. The record of the year's work would fill many pages; and his own reports are confirmed by others. He has established at la.st two Sunday schools. Cases of conversion have gladdened his heart; and one convert of 1886 has become a very efficient helper in 1887. Mr Shaw finds th~ illustration of Scripture by a Magic Lantern to be very attractive both to Europeans and Natives. Better still, during the last rainy season the heavy rain did not hinder a good attendance at ordinary services. Much is done by Mr Shaw, as by all our agents, by personal dealings with the unsaved, one by one. Special services of song have been found very useful. Of one of these at Baroda he writes :-" We had a most successful service of song in the Sirdar (Oontinued on page 3 of Oover.) Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. 23

f.-THE AN~UAL REPORT is sent directly by post to Subscribers "hose addresses are in the hands of the Secretary. To others copies will be sent through local Secretaries, Treasurers, or Collectors.

fl. -A. SPECIAL PAPER will be issued as usual in summer, with recent intelli­ gence. Extra copies will be sent to' Collectors and others who apply for them. From the brevity of the paper it will be more suitable than the Report for enHsting new contributo1'S. lIr.-DoNATIONS OR SrnSCRIPTIONS will be thankfully received by any of the Treasurers or Collectors, or by the Rev. J. FORDYCE, 33 Sutherland Place, Bayswater, London, W IY.-LETTERS TO MR FORDYCE sent to 7 Adam Street, Strand, London, W.C., or to 5 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, will reach him; but the most direct address will be 33 Sutherland Place, Bayswater, London, W. Cheques, Money-Orders, and Postal Notes should be C1'ossed & 00.

Y.-COT,LECTING BOOKS and CARDS wiIi be supplied by the Secretary, or by Mr WINTERSGILL at the London Office, or Mr STAVERT in Edinburgh. A few Collecting Boxes have been prepared, specially suitable for Anglo­ Indian families. They can be sent by Parcel Post. It is hoped that in places where subscriptions have hitherto been collected by the Travelling Secretary, willing-hearted ladies will be found ready to undertake this duty, as no successor has been appointed to Major GRINSELL. Vr.-CONTRIBUTIONS may be paid into the Society'S account in the Commercial Bank, Edinburgh, or to Messrs Ransom, Bouverie, & Co., 1 Pall Mall East, London. The Treasurer when advised of such payments, will send receipts. YI[ -WE are deeply indebted to the Local Treasurers and the Lady Collectors. The work of these Ladies is often a difficult one. Some have persevered for fourteen years, and others have only just entered on this part of the King's service. Let none be discouraged. They are taking an important part in a much needed work, for which we need tens or twenties to go, hundreds to gather, and many thousands to give. "Let us not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

VIII.-IT was not possible to close Accounts for 1887 on the 31st of December. It would be a rea] favour if Donors and Treasurers could send remittances at an early date. This is the more important as the working balance is much less than last year, and the work in India larger. 3

School-room, at which a number of native gentlemen and ladies were present, besides the English people. Some friends assisted in the musical part. Many of the natives, both ladies and gentlemen, expressed their appreciation of the services. A native lady who was up in the gallery behind a curtain expressed herself as much pleased. She told a Christian lady (a Zenana worker) who was with her that sne realised the truth of the lessons, and knew her sins to be a burden from which she longed to be delivered. In his report for December Mr Shaw says :-" And now that the year 1887 has closed, I review with a grateful heart the many mercies that I have -received; ~specially for the journeying mercies. I do an average of about 1200 miles of railway travelling a month, sometimes much more; and God has preserved and cared for me. My health has been excellent and my soul has rejoiced in the knowledge of salvation through 'the precious blood of Christ.' My steps have been directed by my ever-present, faithful Guide. The Lord of the harvest has blessed my work. Precious souls have found salvation; and in many hearts the seed is taking root. The ground has been broken up, and I hope 'that in the New Year the results of last year's labours will be manifested. "

MR JAMES SHAW. Mr Shaw's district is Scinde and across the frontier to Quetta and beyond it. He reports much sowing of the good seed, and also some reaping in a very wide and needy field. In March, after telling of the opposition and the indifference of some, he writes-CO Very frequently have Christian people, at different points in the district, thanked me at the close of a service, and with feeling declared that God had blessed the Word to their souls. Some who had once been professors of religion, but who had grown cold, have been induced to make another start in the good way; and a few have been led to know the Lord for the first time." In Jltly Mr Shaw tells of blessing in different places; and in reference to Rhadhan, he says of ameeting,-" Every person in the station turned out (natives eXC1epted), and jncluded one Jew Station-Master, one Parsee Driver, and one Roman Catholic, a driver, eleven in all," In September, he records an incident which illustrates the work and far-reaching influence of our evangelists. "About mid-night, when 225 miles from Sukkur, two men, under the influence of drink, entered the carriage in which I was sleeping. Their loud profane language roused me, and I heard one call out very roughly, • 'Vho is that fellow there l' Having turned my face, I heard the other say, 'Hush, it's Mr Shaw from Sukkur.' Thereupon both became very quiet. In the morning I spoke pleasantly to them, urging them to give up drinking and seek God's grace; and before we parted they both promised to sign the pledge." ,In the same report 1:1r Shaw says, "During the cholera epidemic with which Sukkur was visited about the end of August, a young man was called away who had been led to seek the Lord at one of my services. He died in the triumph in Christia.n faith, having been ill only ten hours. Before leaving the house of death with the funeral party, I took the opportunity of addressing some plain words to the people." In September Mr Shaw visited Quetta, and says, ,. The most cheering incident connected with my visit to Quetta was the turning to the Lord of two young men." On a Monday evening Mr Shaw te~s of a meeting at another place w~re many soldiers stood listening outside the whole time. He adds, "God graciously drew a young soldier named -- to Himself at the meeting. I asked a Christian. gentleman who was present to care for the young man, and left Karachi at 9 p.m. '" In November Mr Shaw re-visited Quetta, where there is no chaplain for Presbyterians and Non-conformists. He says, "The services I conducted were exceedingly encouraging, the attendance on Sundays being close on 100. The moral support of three Military Officers must not be overlooked. These gentlemen, Majors Simpson and Hunt, and Lieutenant Raitt.. have done much to forward the interests of the Redeemer's cause at Quetta; and their warm words of welcome and kind action are among the brightest memories of the year." Both the Rev. P. R. Mackay aud Mr Shaw write of a, very decided case of conversion. Mr --, whose name we hope to be free to give next year, held a prominent place on one of the railways in Mr Shaw's district. He was very far from being a religious man; but he was led to attend Mr Shaw's meetings, and wa.s impressed. Whilst undecided he went to MU8soorie. There he was under deep conviction of sin. Light and deliverance came, and he 4 ANGLO-INDIAN EVANGELISATION SOOIETY.

returned to his railway station a new man, and has been giving clear evidence of this by an open profession, and by using his infl uence for the good of others. We have only space for one extract more, -- a glimpse of Briti$h soldiers arriving in India: -" The tracts and papers recently sent from London arrived most opportunely i On the very day they caDle to hand, I fell in with a,1a!ge detach­ ment of soldiers proceeding to Quetta. I accompanied them as far as Jacobahad, the tracts and papers opening the way for more direct effort among these yo~g soldiers who were thus met with the'Gospel message upon the threshold of their foreign service."

OALL TO PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRYMEN IN INDIA.-' Let Christians who have churches and ministers in these lands often remember in pl'Ryer our countrymen in India. Living in the midst of the ~eathen they have weighty responsibilities, and great temptations, and many of them have few Christian privileges. 'rheir own souls are precious, and their influence for good or evil is very great. All classes should be remembcred, from those who are struggling for existence up to the Viceroy of the Queen-Empress, and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught In the Anglo-Indian Dispersion there are many thousands who have rarely or never an opportunity of meeting to worship God. These have a special claim on the sympathy, the prayers, and the efforts of thos~ who value Christian ordinances.

TESTIMONIES REGARDING THE SOCIETY. " It is only too true that a famine of the word of life affects most fatally the' native population, and imperils many of our fellow-countrymen; It is very sad; but it is very difficult to bring to bear a practical remedy. Still we must, not despair. The difficulties which beset the subjec,t should rather lead us to bestir oursel ves to devise a remedy. The united e1l'orts of Protestants of an' Churches in the good work offers the best hope of success. "-The tate Lord Lawrence, G. G.B., G.C.S.I. " The object of the Society is second to none in a Christian point of view. If the majority of our countrymen and countrywomen in India were Christians in heart and in deed, what an army of :Missionaries we would have, how speedily would India be evallgelised. ""-The late Rev. Alexander Duff, D.D., LL.D. "I regard the operation!'! of this Society as intensely important. No one could pass through the country without being sensible of the sad dearth wllich existed in the spiritual ministrations for our fellow-countrymen in India. And yet it was only when one marched leisurely through the country, as he had had the means of doing, that the full extent of the evil, the great numbers of men and women and children left quite uncared for, was forced upon the mind; and the greatness of the field that was open to ,this Society, which was indeed daily increasing with the extension of our railway system."-Principal Sir Willia'll~ ,ltfuir, K.O.S.I., n..O.L., LL.D. "To~thos{' who enjoy the inestimable privileges of a regular Christian ministry it seems to me a very incumbent duty to aid in providing a similar blessing to those of their co-q,ntrymen who are without it."-H.E. Sir Henry W. Norma1~" K.O.B., now GQ'Vernor oj Jamaica. , "The work before thtl Society is immense-to bring Christian ordinances,' a~least occaSionally, to Europeans dwelling here auq. there in small groups all over tne:v:ast continent of India. I do not ,wish: to exalt the use of means above the grace of (~on which can, alone give spiritual life . • • butit is incontrovertible that God does work through means; and when these means are neglected, we have IlOright to expect the res1ilts which, in God's plan the means are intended to bring abOlit."-SirCharles U, .Aitchison, 1(..a.S.L, LL.D.
