MISSIONARY MURMURINGS.

GATHERED FROM VARIOUS MISSIONARY JOURNALS.

ANNAM'S 20,000,000 are yet without a ray of gospel light.

THERE are still over 10,000,000 square miles of unoccupied districts in various heathen lands, where missionaries thus far have never entered.

IF the present population of the heathen world could be equally apportioned to our present force of workers, lay and ordained, each would have over 165,000 souls.

MR. W. SPENCER WALTON says that at Kimberley, South Africa, five hundred black men on an average fall victims to drink every year. These natives come from the interior comparatively pure and sober, but they get contaminated by contact with the whites, and go back to their homes corrupted.
