TO-NIGHT’S LANTERN LECTURE.
AA'ehn the first band of missionaries in connection with the China Inland Mission arrived in Shanghai in the year 1860, their leader, Mr •lames Hudson Taylor, was described by a writer in a British Newspaper in Shanghai as “either a knave or a fool —we are inclined to think, not the latter.” Experience has shown, however, that Mr Taylor was neither a- knave nor a fool, but a man with a vision from God. The missionaries of this mission have been the pioneers in opening up Inland China to the Gospel. At the end of 1020 there were two hundred and forty-five stations and over one thousand out-stations, with over fifty-thousand eomtnunieanls. The China Inland Mission is supported entirely bv free-will donations and is interdenominational in character. Wfhile it had its origin in Britain, it is also international in character, there being about nine nationalities among its missionaries. Come to the Methdoist Hall tor night at 7.45 and hear and see more about it at the lantern lecture.
