Chinese are a mild, peaceable, industrious and exceedingly conservative race. hinese civilization is very old and is much in advance of what our Anglo-Saxon ancestors attained before they received the Gospel. Chinese religion is repre- sented by three systems. One of them, Tauism, is materialism, the worship of the earth. Another is Con­ fucian ism, the worship or veneration of Confucius, a political philosopher who flourished about 580 years before Christ.

The statistics, so far a.s had in hand, show 18,678 churches income, the basis of its business operations and the agency for fostering and furthering a!l its and only 9,738 Sunday schools. The reports, of course, are very incomplete, other interests. and these figures, as. to the number of Sunday schools, are far below the real condition if this could b e determined. B ut even after the largest allowance is made for the absence of reports, many hundred of our churches show no Sunday school. The better• ment of this condition is one of the things at which the Convention is aiming through its Sunday School Board. Much good will come from wise discussion of Sun­ day school interests in the sells. ions of the Conven­ tion, and also in State Conventions, District As ocia­ tions and Fifth Sunday meetings. Much good also will come from the formation in cities where there are t wo or more Baptist churches of Sunday School Unions or Ai;;sociations. This is done now in Rich­ mond.

The general organization of woman's work for missions, home and foreign. as conducted by the Boards of the Southern Baptist Convention, was inaugu­ rated in Richmond, May, 1888. Missionary effort in different States and by indi­ vidual societies long antedated this organization and formed the basis of co-oper­ ation for which Woman's Missionary Union was instituted. The new movement disclaimed any "desire to interfere with the management of the existing Boards of the Convention, either in the appointment of missionaries, or the direction of mission work; but was an effort to be more efficient in collecting money and disseminating missionary information." These two objects have been faith­ fully pursued with growing success, through the nine years of the organiza­ tion's history, stimulating endeavor by information and suggestion of plans of work, and by securing as accurate reports of results as possible.
