Church," by Stephen Neill. Many Christians make the: mistake' of thinking revelation ends with the Book of Revelations. Rightly read, the story of .the church is full of encouragement in its . wit- ness to the constant working of the Power of God ainong the sons of men. India is only a corner. The surface of India, one million and a half square miles, population 350,000,- 000' people. They speak i79languages, more than 500 dialects, 100,000 con- verts are added every year; an aver- age of one being baptized every five minutes. Progress has only been made by centuries of prayer, effort and sacrifice. Four periods, until the end of the fifteenth century the church was in obscurity. The next two, the Portugese were masters. In the 18th century, the non -Roman Church entered the field. The 19th century was the age of missionary Work in India. The Missionary who goes to -day goes not as one sent by his church at home, but as one call- ed to its aid by the Church of Christ in India, concluded the speaker. The President, Mrs. Ramage, then took the chair for business. Minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. A note of sympathy is to be sent to a bereaved member. A resolu- tion of Appreciation is to be sent to Mr. L. F. Ashton for training the male choir for the Thank -Offering meeting. After roll call, the meeting closed with prayer by the president.
