to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." Is God not pre- 

 paring the world for missions which will embrace the whole of 

 Adam's family ? The gallant steamships circumnavigate the globe. 

 Emigration is going on at a rate to which the most renowned 

 crusades of antiquity bear no proportion. Many men go to and 

 fro, and knowledge is increased. No great emigration ever took 

 place in our world without accomplishing one of God's great 

 designs. The tide of the modern emigration flows towards the

 We believe it, because God has been preparing the world for 

 something glorious. And that something, we conjecture, will be a 

 fuller development of the missionary idea and work. 



There will yet be a glorious consummation of Christianity. 

 The last fifty years have accomplished wonders. On the American 

 Continent, what a wonderful amalgamation of races we have wit- 

 nessed, how wonderfully they have been fused into that one American 

 people — type and earnest of a larger fusion which Christianity will 

 yet accomplish, when, by its blessed power, all tribes and tongues 

 and races shall become one holy family. The present popularity 

 of beneficence promises well for the missionary cause in the future. 

 Men's hearts are undergoing a process of enlargement. Their 

 sympathies are taking a wider scope. The world is getting closer, 

 smaller — quite a compact affair. The world for Christ will yet be 

 realised. "The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the 

 Lord as the waters cover the sea."

 of African fever. The report details at length a large number of
