It was Mr. Reid who first in modern. times realized that the most successful mission work in the long run in China would be achieved by improving the minds of the upper classes, who really control the movements and the destiny of China's teemning millions. The proposed Institute is to consist of a large auditorium, library and reading room, a museum, class-rooms and a grand Reception Hall. Such an Institute, the prospectus (published In another part of this issue) states, located in Peking would be an intellectual centre for the diffusion of enlightenment and for RASPBERRYADE, &c. the spread of liberal influences amongstthe

Now, in the official sanction accorded 10 Mr. GILBERT REID's scheme, we find the names of Princes and Ministers constituting the Imperial Board of Foreign Affairs and they are said to have found that Mr. Raro's scheme "is marked by sagacious insight." likewise they admit that his learning penetrates to funda- mental principles, and his heart is animated-by-benevolent motives, which are worthy of high praise." The so-called "Grand old Man of China," L1 HuNo CHANG, has also written a charming letter on the subject full of eulogy for the scheme and for its well-intentioned author, in order, as he blandfy suggests, to help him to get the necessary funds from the West.
