China Inland Mission Statistics

The China Inland Mission had, on Jan. 1, 1904, in 199 stations in China, 743 missionaries, men and women, besides fifteen still engaged in study, and twenty-five engaged in home work or not yet assigned to stations; 465 of its missionaries are women. The receipts of the society for 1903 were $225,458. It reports the number of conversions in its stations in China in 1903 at 1,700. Ten years ago the annual number of conversions was about 700. Comparison of the two figures suggests that the powers of evil prepared the way of the kingdom when they sought to barricade it by that terrible outburst in 1900.—Selected.
