The General Assembly of the Presbyterian church, amongst ite many Other duties, surveys the foreign mission field. The death of Dr. George Leslie MacKay, in Formosa, makes this the saddest foreign miesion -eport ever presented to that body. The Presbyterian e urch is divided into two sections for missio purposes—the eastern and western. The sasteril section found in their firat missione, y, Dr. John Geddie, one of the heroes of mis ions one of the union. getable men whose ife has been an ation for half a cen ury. He labored in the New Hebredes w th wonderful results. When he landed on the island of Aneityum, in the New Hebrid s, there were no Christ- tians. When he eft, he could find no heathen. The insp ration of such a man did much to make he missions of the east- ern section of the c uroh a success. The western sect on was equally fortun. stein finding in D G. L. MacKay, their firet missionary, an ther hero. He landed in Formosa, frien less amongst a hostile people, in Decembe , 1871. He now lays down his work lea ing in the mission 60 congregations and 4, native preachers train. ed by himself. Th reason there are not more churches is that the northern part of Formosa is practio lly movered. The work that remains for hi successors is to build up and develop t e churches founded by him. Such a life i worth living and it will never be forg tten. The Rev. Wm. Gauld, who has been associated with Dr. MacKay, is a strong man, and will now ma same the burden. Another appointment will soon be made, and thus the work will be maintained. - The Chinese in Canada are steadily in. creasing in numbers. Raising the capita- tion tax to $100 does not appreciably affect them. Whatever may be said about the Chinese problem from the labor standpoint, exclusive measurer, there is no doubt as to the ohuroh's duty now. They are strangers amongst us. The Gospel,is for them, as for us, and the church should seek to give it to them, They all expect to return to China. The majoiity do return, and as many as have been taught the truth in Canada take it with them and scatter the good seed _in their own fatherland. The foreign mission committee of the Presbyterian church has decided to , start a mission in Macao, China, for the express purpose of following up work done in Can- ada. The Chinese themselves want a mis- sion there amongst their own people and will help to support it. The Rey. Alexander Don, of Dunedin, New Zealand, has been called to cake up the work Mr. Winchester hats laid down in• British Columbia. Mr, Don has been in Chios and knosve the villages from which our Canadian Chinese come, and will thus be able at once to touoh them sympathetic. ally. It would be a glorious thing • if the 15,000 Chinese now in Canada were so in. flueneed as to recognize Jesus Christ as Re- deemer. The result in China would be incalculable. They are scattered in colonies all through the land. The ohurches every- where should be on the alert to win and convert them into workers amongst) their own people. In many towns and villages earneet Christiana are making an effort, but in other places they are entirely negleeted. Good news comes from India as to the results of the famine. Alranicly many of the mimed ones are seeking bptism. The few that remain in many of the desolated vil- lages now welcome the missionary and listen to him as never before, The plowing of the soil precedes the hen vest. The harvest will come in due time. Let us not weary in well.doing ; then sow. era and reapers shall rejoice together. R. P. MAC/KAY. TORONTO, August 6th, 1901. • Voters' List Statistics.
