rian missions in North India. The arrival of such a party as this ought to put an end to the talk we so often hear about the waning interest of the European and American churches in the missionary cause. Our own conviction is that a better era is dawning upon the missions of Christendom, and that greater things will be done a generation hence than are now dreamed of. Thus far very little has been done, or even attempted. We have seen it stated that until recently as much money was expended annually in sending fancy dogs to India as Christian missionaries; and it is certainly time to show the world that Christians care more for the souls of the nations that sit in darkness, than sports men do for their dogs.

ARRIVALS.

A LETTER from Miss Claghorn announces her arrival at Foochow on the

11th of November, "just two months from the time" she "left her father's house in America."

Miss Jennie G. Evans, who left New York for the North China mission, September 13, 1872, arrived at Tung Cho November 22.

Messrs. Marsh, Baird, and House, with Mrs. House, who sailed in October to join the European Turkey mission, arrived at Eski Zagra November 27.

CHANGE OF DESIGNATION.

REV. W. S. ALEXANDER and wife, who sailed in October last, expecting to join the mission in Austria, have been authorized by the Prudential Committee to remain in Italy, where they expected to spend but a short time; thus commencing a mission of the Board in that interesting field.
