Next it is desirable to know to what classes the mission especially appeals.  Here we shall probably have to accept estimates, sometimes rough estimates, for part at least of the information desirable; in some cases the table may be impossible; in some it may be most useful.  The table which we suggest is:—­

If that table could be filled up it would show at a glance what class of the people was reached most easily and fully, and whether any were unduly neglected.

Then, in many station areas there are divergencies of race and religion, and it is important to know how far the mission is reaching each of these.  In some areas, for instance, large numbers of converts are made from the pagan population whilst a Moslem population in the area is practically untouched; in some nearly all the converts are made from one caste out of many.  That is no reason for adverse criticism of the mission:  it may be, and often is, a reason for striking harder at the point on which the work is now most successful; but it is a fact which throws great light on the nature of the work done and upon the character of the Church which is rising in the area, and therefore cannot be ignored.  We append then a table to reveal this:—­

-------------------------------------------------------

-------------
| Area of Races, Castes, |  Remarks and
|      Religions, etc.   |  Conclusions
|                        |

We cannot possibly supply the table complete for all areas in the world.  We suggest that such a table kept up to date would reveal not only facts useful to illustrate the progress of the Christian faith, but also to show the progress of aggressive non-Christian religions such as Mohammedanism.
