England's Mission to India. By the Right Rev. A. Barry,

D.D. (S P.C.K.)— Bishop Barry has utilised the impressions and ex- periences derived from a recent visit to India to make this appeal to the conscience of English Churchmen. He tells them in these lectures what we are doing in India, and what we ought to do. In the advance of material, intellectual, and moral civilisa- tion, English influence upon India has been very great. How does the case stand with respect to religious civilisation ? The Bishop is quite aware of the vast extent of the work to be done, but he is not unhopeful. It was, of course, in Southern India that past progress most appealed to him. The great want is a really native Christianity. The exotic which can be imported is not hardy.
