lages; in terms of
population
The meaning of "Christian constituency"
The reasons for adopting it
Example of table, and of the impression produced by it
Example of value of proportions
Tables of proportions
The difficulty of procuring this information
The value of the labour expended in procuring it
II. The force at work
The permanent and transitory elements
(a) The foreign force
The use of merely quantitative expressions
Such tables essential for deciding questions of reinforcement
(b) The native force
Reasons for putting total Christian constituency in the first place

Summary
But we need to know something of capacity of the native force
(1) Proportion of Communicants
The importance of this proportion in itself
In relation to the work to be done

(b) The standard of wealth
(3) The contribution to missionary work in labour and money
(4) The literacy of the Christian constituency
The importance of widespread knowledge of the Bible
The importance of Christians having a wider knowledge than their
heathen neighbours

Emphasis upon one class or race or religion is no proper basis for

IV. The emphasis laid on evangelistic, medical, and educational work
respectively
The difficulty of distinguishing medical, educational, and
evangelistic missionaries
The reason why grades need not here be distinguished

The diverse character of Sunday Schools
The table proposed

The tendency to treat medical and educational work as distinct from
