Some time ago a striking map appeared in _China's Millions_, and is
reproduced in _The Unoccupied Fields_, contrasting England and Wales
with the province of Honan. While conditions have changed somewhat
since the map was made, it is still sufficiently accurate for
illustration. On this map are shown 1,846 villages and cities. There
are 106 walled official cities, only twenty-six of which have resident
missionaries. Three other large towns are occupied as mission
stations, only twenty-nine places occupied out of the 1,846.

ENGLAND AND WALES HONAN

Area 58,309 sq. miles 67,940 sq. miles.

Population 32,526,075 (1901) 35,316,800 (1901)

Ordained Ministry 32,897 112 missionaries
(including wives
and single ladies)

Local Preachers 52,341 159 Chinese helpers
(including women)

Average area of parish 1-3/4 sq. miles 1,788 sq. miles.

Average population of parish 1,000 929,389

The dimensions of the task remaining in China are sufficiently
summarized by stating that there are 2,033 walled cities in the Empire
and that only 476 of them have missionaries, leaving 1,557 of the
principal cities unoccupied.

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS IN THE NON-CHRISTIAN WORLD

1. _Fields Unoccupied but Open_

(1) Large portions of Mongolia, Manchuria, and Central Asia

(2) Many parts of Africa

2. _Fields Unoccupied by either Protestant or Catholic Missions
because Closed to All Christian Work_

(1) Tibet

(2) Nepal

(3) Bhutan

(4) Afghanistan

3. _Fields Unoccupied by Protestant Missions because of Government
Opposition_

(1) French Indo-China

(2) French Possessions in Africa

These three lists represent the work _yet to be begun_.

4. _The Religion Least Reached is Mohammedanism_

Conservative estimates state that not less than 150,000,000 Mohammedans
are not being reached in any adequate way by the Christian gospel.

5. _The World as a Whole._ (1) The Edinburgh Conference Report says
that there are 119,000,000 people in Asia and Africa who are not even
included in the plans of any missionary society on earth. (2) There
are many more millions--and no
