In one of the girls' schools 31 out of 98 have 

 been baptized. Over $168,000 have been ex- 

 pended in the last 36 years, with a result of 4 

 churches and 149 members. 



In Japan there is a mission of the American 

 Free Mission Society. In the spring of 1867, 

 Mr. Goble, the missionary, visited the northern 

 portion of Sikok, the central Japanese island. 

 On the vessel were two Japanese passengers, 

 naval officers of the princes of Awa and Tosa, 

 the latter having been a pupil in Mrs. Goble's 

 school. Through him Mr. Goble became ac- 

 quainted with several influential Japanese offi- 

 cers, from whom he received a very cordial 

 invitation to visit and locate himself in Tosa, 

 the southern part of Sikok. 



VI. AFEIOA. The Baptists in Liberia have 

 20 organized churches, 12 ordained preachers, 

 and 1,300 members. They received assistance, 

 until 1861, from the Southern Baptist Board. 

 The missionary premises of the Board at Yoru- 

 ba were destroyed by a mob, and the mission- 

 aries driven to Lagos. One of the missionaries 

 (Mr. Phillips) returns to America for his health, 

 leaving Mr. Stone alone. 



The African mission of the American Union 

 is to be resumed. 



A missionary convention was held at Mar- 

 shall, on the Junk Eiver, in Liberia, on Wednes- 

 day, March 25, and Thursday, March 26, 1868. 

 Ten Baptist churches were represented. It 

 was unanimously voted to organize the "Libe- 

 rian Baptist Missionary Union," for " the evan- 

 gelization of the heathen " within the borders 

 of the republic of Liberia, "and contiguous 

 thereto." Twelve fields of missionary labor 

 were designated and commended to the care 

 of the nearest churches. Eev. John T. Eich- 

 ardson was appointed a commissioner to repre- 

 sent the " Liberian Baptist Missionary Union " 

 in the United States. Two young men were 

 chosen as students of divinity to accompany 

 the commissioner, in order to be educated for 

 the ministry. 



BAUGHEE, HENET L., D. D., an American 

 Lutheran clergyman, teacher and college Presi- 

 dent, born at Abbottstown, Pa., about 1805 ; 

 died at Gettysburg, Pa., April 14, 1868. He 

 graduated at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., 

 in 1825, studied theology at Princeton and Get- 

 tysburg, was licensed to preach by the Maryland 

 Synod, and elected pastor at Boonsboro, Md., 

 in 1829 and in 1830 called to Gettysburg to 

 take charge of a classical school, called into 

 existence by the exigencies of the Lutheran 

 Theological Seminary, already established 

 there. The school rapidly expanded into a 

 college, and in 1832 Eev. Dr. Krauth became 

 its first President, while Mr. Baugher filled 

 the chair of the Greek language and Belles- 

 Lettres. He continued in this professorship 

 until 1850, when, on the retirement of Dr. 

 Krauth from the presidency of the college, he 

 was chosen his successor, and continued in 

 that position until his death. He was an ex- 

 cellent and successful teacher, an able execu- 



tive officer, uniting courtesy and kindness with 

 strict discipline, a ready and eloquent preacher, 

 and an easy, graceful and accomplished writer. 

 He was a frequent and valued contributor to 

 the Evangelical Review, as well as to the Lu- 

 theran papers ; but, aside from his contributions 

 to these, his baccalaureate and other addresses, 

 and some occasional sermons and essays, he 

 has left little published matter to demonstrate 

 his rare abilities. His health had been gener- 

 ally robust, and his last illness, an affection of 

 the throat, was of only eight days' duration. 



BAVAEIA, a kingdom in South Germany. 

 King, Ludwig II., born August 25, 1845 ; suc- 

 ceeded his father, Maximilian II., on March 10, 

 1864. Prime minister (since January 1, 1867), 

 Prince Clovis von Hohenlohe-Schillingsfiirst. 

 Bavaria has an area of 29,373 square miles, 

 and, according to the census of 1867, a popu- 

 lation of 4,824,421, which was divided as fol- 

 lows among the eight provinces of the king- 

 dom:

Upper Franconia 535,060

A census of religious denominations, taken in 

 1852, showed 3,176,333 Catholics, 1,233,894 

 Protestants, 5,560 other Christians, and 56,033 

 Israelites. In December, 1867, a new census 

 of religious denominations was taken, but its 

 results had not been published in January, 

 1869. It was thought that the number of 

 Catholics would amount to about 3,300,000, 

 Protestants 1,320,000, other Christians 6,000, 

 Israelites 64,000. The capital, Munich, had, 

 in 1867, 170,688 inhabitants. The army, ac- 

 cording to the law of January 30, 1868, con- 

 sists, first, of the standing army, and, second, 

 of the landwehr. The standing army is divided 

 into the active army and the reserve. The 

 time of service is three years in the active 

 army, three years in the reserve, and five years 

 in the landwehr. The active army consists of 

 49,949 men. In the budget for one year of the 

 ninth financial period (1868 and 1869), both 

 revenues and expenditures are estimated at 

 87,144,606 florins. The public debt in April, 

 1866, amounted to 334,405,150 florins (of 

 which 121,739,300 was railroad debt). 



Bavaria celebrated, in 1868, the fiftieth an- 

 niversary of the constitution, which, with 

 slight modifications, still exists in the country. 

 The king, on this occasion, issued the follow- 

 ing proclamation to the people : 



PALACE OF BERG, May 2Qth. 



Fifty years to-day have elapsed since the first King 

 of Bavaria, my ancestor, Maximilian I. ; granted a 

 constitution to the country. The principles on 

 which this fundamental law rests have not ceased to 

 rule, unrestrictedly, the nation, from that memorable
