Crying Need of Gospel Heralds

THE most fully occupied province in China has one missionary to every 40,000 people, while five other provinces have only one missionary to every 100,000, and no fewer than four provinces have one missionary to every 250,000. That would mean twelve missionaries for the whole city of New York, twelve more for the rest of the State of New York, and between three and four hundred for the United States. Out of 1,971 walled cities in China, only 527 are occupied, or twenty-seven per cent, leaving 1,450 great cities without a single missionary. The aboriginal tribes of China, numbering 6,000,000 people, have no missionary.—Missionary Review.
