YOUNa PEOPLE'S FOBWAED MOVE*^ MENT FOE MISSIONS I . This In, in many respeots, one of the \6Mt i^markaUe movements of recent times, sad is commended t6 the wise and sympathetic gaid- ance of oor ministers, and the prayerful sym- pathy of the whole Church. Already it has turned the attention of thousands of our young people to the great cause of Missions, led them to 1»ray eamesUy for the coming of the King* dom; brought them into sympathetic touch with the work of the.General- Board, developed an intelligent loyalty to the Ghm^h of their cheice, and, by the method of weekly givings, is training them in habits of i^stematic beneficence. Contributions last year from S^- worth Leagues aggregated $18,313.57. This year ^ is expected they inll make a good ad^^ vance on this amount. On miail^ districts the Leagues havn organized for the support, in wMe or in partf gf ik Mia^onary in the Foreign or Indiim field, and the movement is sprMialftg rapidly. Our Oollcf e Societies are johdng with the Leagues, and all are showing a commei^ble spirit Iry fall^g into line with theOeheral Board in its Missionary work.

A great many Son- Schools do nothing for Missions. We ite all sach to join hi the good work with- delay. Mstors liHli 8FB0IAL OBJECTS mie of oar Sunday Schools, and many of our Bpwctjrth Leagues, desire to contribnte to some special object, but wisely leave the selec- tion of that object to the Missionary Board and its officers, as they are familiar with the whole field, and know where help is most needed. In cases where sums of only from $26 to $100 can be raised, they might be ntilhEed to support a boy or girl in one of our schools hi China, or in an Indian Institute. Somewhat larger sums would support a native worker in the Foreign field ; but where the Leagues in a whole district unite, they li^ay be able, in msipy cases, to support a wbite Missionaiy in the Indian or Foreign work, where from iSOO to |1,20;*■--. r.
