He asked a Parsee gentleman to give him suffi- cient money to replace a school that had been destroyed . He offered to give ten thousand rupees for schools on condition that Scripture was not taught in the schools . When he ( the speaker said he could not accept that the Par see gave him 100 rupees , saying he was doing The jubilee of the Friends ' Foreign Mission Association , which has many local associations , to give a vivid impression of life in the vil a good and lasting work .

There was a education , and finally how a Christian wife representative attendance of the various mis- sionary churches , among those present being The Rev. J. C. Elder , the Rev. R. Klesel and Mrs. Klesel , the Rev. Gordon Lang , the Rev. G. Elliot Lee , Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Reynolds , Mrs. H. S. Millward , Mrs. J. J. Baker , Mr. W. C. Miles , Mr. J. H. Thorne , Miss Phillips , Mons . Buellen , Miss E. Ross . After reading a portion of Scripture Miss Newman read a letter from Mr. John Williams , who with his wife left Leominster in 1878 and did 20 years ' faithful work in India , in which he regretted his inability to attend the meet- ing , and assuring them that his prayers would not fail to rise that a rich out - pouring of bless ing might rest upon them . Continuing , Miss Newman said that most of those present . would not need much explanation as to why she should take the chair at that meeting . She felt it was a great privilege and one slie was very glad to accept when she remembered her father's work for the F.F.M.A. She came to the work by heredity . The F.F.M.A. was largely founded through the efforts of her father and he was the first Hon . Secretary and held the position for 47 of the 50 years they were now celebrating . It had been her privi- lege to know the work , and to be brought up alongside it . It was a great thing during the whole of one's life to have been in intimate touch with missionary work and to have that kind of work part of one's natural home sur roundings . It gave to them an enlarged meaning to their outlock on Christianity . There were others present who knew what that was , especially those of the Moravian Church . They did not think of missionary work as some- thing grafted on to their Christian profession , but as being an intimate part of it . Miss Newman went on to say she was extremely severe cold her Sorry that on aunt , Miss Pumphrey , of Charlbury , was unable to be present with them .

Twenty years ago there were not 500 Christians and to - day Christianity was spreading faster than any other religion . The census , taken . years ago told them that Christianity was making rapid strides and the Bhuddist people Were awaking to the fact that the people were leaving their old traditions and accepting what they called the " new religion . " In passing Mr. Koper mentioned that on the mission field there was not the distinction between the various cieties that there at home . Then they met as brothers and friends in Chrit . They had one common object and that was to bring the people to their Master . The speaker went on to tell in a most inter- esting manner how he conquered the language , in which the first task is to learn the 365 letters . To know the language was the first thing . Another most essential thing was that the missionary must be prepared to take at least a portion of the native food .
