of the London Missionary Society Professor Legge). Indeed, the history of our intercourse with China for the last fifty years would be sadly incomplete were the influence of the London Missionary men left out of it. But the most hopefal siga shown by the meeting of yos- terday was the combination of all de- nominations of Protestant Missions, who united in deing honour to one of the oldest Mission Societies in the Far East. A unanimity of feeling was dis- played by the representatives of various denominations which appeared to augur good things in the future. It was a pity,
that wo think,
the Roman Catholic Missions could not have seen their way to join in the movement; but as it was, there is no question that the demonstration Froved a community of aims and objects, and a growing sympathy on the part of the community, which must be welcome to everyone who looks forward to the attalutaeot of e-bigher standard of life amongst the Chinese people.
