all Mr. Gilmour knows and tells of how Mongols live.”—_Spectator._
=EVERY-DAY LIFE IN CHINA=, or, Scenes along River and Road in the

• MISSIONARY PUBLICATIONS •
=REPORT OF THE CENTENARY CONFERENCE on the Protestant Missions of the
World.= Held in London, June, 1888. Edited by the Rev. JAMES JOHNSTON,
F. S. S., Secretary of the Conference. Two large 8vo. vols., 1200
pages, $2.00 net per set.
An important feature in this report, lack of which has prejudiced
many against reports in general, is the special care taken by the
Editor, who has succeeded in making the work an interesting and
accurate reproduction of the most important accumulation of facts
from the Mission Fields of the World, as given by the
representatives of all the Evangelical Societies of Christendom.
And another: The exceptionally complete and helpful indexing of the
entire work in such a thorough manner as to make it of the greatest
value as a Reference Encyclopedia on mission topics for years to
come.
=THE MISSIONARY YEAR BOOK FOR 1889–90.= Containing Historical and
Statistical accounts of the Principle Protestant Missionary Societies
in America, Great Britain and the Continent of Europe.
The American edition, edited by Rev. J. T. GRACEY, D.D., of Buffalo,
embraces about 450 pages, one-fourth being devoted to the work of
American Societies, and will contain Maps of India, China, Japan,
Burmah, and Siam; also a language Map of India and comparative
diagrams illustrating areas, population and progress of Mission
work. This compilation will be the best presentation of the work of
the American Societies in Pagan Lands that has yet been given to the
public. The book is strongly recommended by Rev. JAS. JOHNSTON,
F.S.S., as a companion volume to the Report of the Century
Conference on Missions. Cloth, 12mo. $1.25.
