FOR CHRIST.

READ on the missionary page the article headed, “India,” and learn what people of some heathen lands have to endure to become Christians, while we, who have “the light of life” so richly bestowed, under such pleasant circumstances, so often bitterly complain of our little trials. Here, constant urging is necessary to secure attention to the claims of Christ, under the most favorable conditions and amidst friendly associations. There, they know that any manifestation of regard for Christianity is attended with the loss of all. And yet they become Christians, losing all, and suffering all manner of abuse. We are inclined to the belief that the lowest grade of Christians is found in our enlightened land of Christian liberty. Truly, “the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty;” but from those dark places will arise some of the brightest children of the kingdom of the Redeemer.
