The Heathen Perishing Daily

Rev. Mr. Gill, of India, makes the following calculation: There are more than 800,000,000 in the darkness of heathenism. If a generation pass away in thirty-three years, then the heathen are dying at the rate of 66,000 a day. If the infants are left out, we still have 30,000 perishing every twenty-four hours, or more than 1,000 every hour. If we have a missionary meeting that lasts a little over an hour and a half, 2,000 heathen persons, who were alive at its beginning, do not live till its close.
