It was with no friendly feeling, we may be sure, that they propounded such an interrogatory. Still the answer would embody a permanent truth. Jesus, therefore, uttered those memorable words, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation." Neither should these Pharisees say, "Lo here," or "Lo there; " for "Behold," continues the same perfect Teacher," the kingdom of God is within you." In looking out upon the different fields which our missionaries are endeavoring to cultivate in the Master's name, it will be well for us to keep this principle distinctly and constantly in mind. We are not to measure results by their outward grandeur. The gospel which we carry to the nations of the earth, is like leaven. It acts by a hidden power. Its processes are known only to the Omniscient One; but the end is so much the more sure. How unlike the restoration of the dynasty of the great Napoleon! Of this no one can say, "It came not with observation." The thing was not done in a corner. For many months have the shadows of the empire been projected far into other lands. The world saw them, and wondered. And perhaps we shall soon see the end! But in the further prosecution of our work, we are not left to walk altogether and solely by faith. What can be more animating, for example, than the reformation which God is carrying forward in Western Asia? True, the diplomatist may not see it. True, the illustrious Hungarian failed to perceive it. But this is not strange. It is so unworldly, so noiseless, that none but a practiced eye can follow it. And yet there it is, spreading like the morning's light, now softening the shadows upon some distant hill-top, now stealing down into some quiet valley. Let us lift our eyes and behold this goodly sight; for the strengthening of our faith, it is vouchsafed unto us. In India, moreover, what changes are taking place! Often, indeed, does the servant of God exclaim, "Who hath believed our report?" And, after so many years of toil and suffering, the number of converts may well seem small. But there is a process going forward, which even the missionary does not always perceive. The great fabric of Hindoo superstition and error is becoming weaker and weaker. Nay, its very foundations are heaving and trembling, as if in the throes of an earthquake. There is hope for India. "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." And had we less encouragement in our work, we know that the Captain of our salvation is perfect. Whoever else may die, he lives. Never shall we follow him, in long and mournful procession, to an honored tomb; for he is "the beginning, the first-born from the dead," "the first-fruits of them that slept." Neither can he be baffled or defeated; for "by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created by him and for him; and he is before all things; and by him all things consist." Let us go forward, therefore, with courage and hope. Our triumph is certain. Though it may tarry for a season, it will surely come. AFRICA. GABOON.

Our brethren on the Gaboon are very anxious to extend their line of operations into the interior, where they expect to find a salubrious climate. Though there are some obstacles to this achievement, the number is constantly diminishing. Had the mission the requisite strength, they might advance steadily and successfully, with the divine blessing, towards the highlands of Africa. It would seem, indeed, that the way is already prepared for the preaching of Christ to the Pangwes, who are coming forth from their ancient homes, as if to meet the missionary and learn the way of salvation. The communication of Mr. Preston, on a subsequent page, shows that a sions has been small. A promising young man, who had acted as an interpreter, was received into the church in the autumn of 1851; and several others were quite thoughtful. In the five schools under the care of the mission, there are about one hundred pupils. The Gospel of John has been translated into the Mpongwe, and printed by the American Bible Society. It is deemed expedient that the members of this mission should occasionally visit their native land, for the more effectual preservation of their health, in accordance with the practice of European societies. It is for this reason that Messrs. Wilson and Bushnell, with Mrs. Wilson, are now in the United States. The death of Mr. Porter on the 6th of July, and of Mrs. Porter on the 16th of July, was announced in the last Herald. ZULUS. INANDA. (20 miles N.

The Word has been preached, nearly as much as beretofore; and Scriptures and tracts have been largely distributed. But the past year has been emphatically one of conflict. Upon the simple charge of proclaiming doctrines which Protestants generally receive as true, he has been sentenced to imprisonment and banishment; and has actually been shut up with felons in a loathsome dangeon. The ablest lawyers in Athens are understood to regard the proceedings as wholly illegal; and a strong reaction in favor of our missionary brother has taken place.
