Two other subjects ought to be included in this provincial survey, namely, literature and industrial work.  First, we must try to find a table which will express the work done by those important missionaries who are engaged in providing Christian literature, both for the Christian community and the heathen outside.  Here we find once more the difficulty that, whilst a few missionaries are wholly engaged in this form of missionary work, much is produced by missionaries who have already been included in the tables as either evangelistic or educational or medical missionaries, and we also touch bookselling and other kindred commercial questions.  With the commercial aspect of this work we cannot deal.  The following tables will throw light on the extent to which Christian literature is being produced and read:—­

If the business side of literary work is difficult, the whole position of industrial missions is still more difficult.  In some countries industrial missions seem to be trading ventures with a Christian intention, in others industrial missions are really almost entirely educational establishments.  The best tables which we have ever seen dealing with this subject were those drawn by Mr. Sidney Clark in one of his papers, “From a Layman to a Layman".[1] All that we can do is to suggest that industrial missions which are in the main clearly and unmistakably educational should be included in the educational work, and that the missions with large commercial interests, even if they are doing a valuable educational work for the community, should be treated separately, thus:—­
