MISSION TO LEPERS.

There is an organization which has been in existence for twenty-six years, devoting its efforts in behalf of the lepers who abound in all eastern countries. A report of this mission says:—

Year by year, as the work grew, God has provided the funds, and not once has He allowed us to close a year in debt. From very humble beginnings the work has grown, till now, at the beginning of the new century, the mission is at work in fifty-nine centers, in India, Burma, Ceylon, China, Japan, and Sumatra, in connection with the missionaries of twenty-one different missionary societies. The Lord has not only been faithful to His promises in giving us the funds necessary to carry on and extend the work, but in the great blessing that He has continually poured out upon the spiritual work in the various asylums. Not only have we been permitted to relieve a vast amount of terrible suffering, and to comfort many a breaking heart, but we have been allowed to see many hundreds of the lepers turning to the Lord.
