We suggest, then, that if we had the four tables which follow we should possess a reasonable basis, sufficient for our present needs, especially since we suppose they would be supported by the tables for the different provinces, countries, and stations which we have already suggested, and they ought to be supplemented by surveys made by each society of its own work and by departmental surveys of medical, educational, industrial, and literary work made for the special direction of each of these branches.  But for a first general view of the whole we propose:—­

(1) A table showing the force at work in the area in relation to the population:—­

-------------------------------------------------------
-------------- Proportion to Population. ------------------------------------------------------------
-------- Province| Popula-| Total | Chris- | Com- | | or | tion. | Foreign | tian | municants | Paid | Unpaid Country| | Mission-| Constitu-| or Full |Workers.| Workers.  Area. | | aries. | ents. | Members | | --------|--------|---------|----------|-----------|--------|
--------- | | | | | | ________|________|_________|__________|___________|________|
_________ ------------------------------------------------------------
---------

That would give us a general view of the force at work in relation to the work to be done and of the proportions between its constituent parts.  Then (2):—­

-------------------------------------------------------
-------------- | Proportion of Paid | Proportion of | Workers | Unpaid Workers -------------------|------------------------|---------------
--------- Propor- | | Christian tion |-----------|------------|-------------|---------- Constitu- of | | To | |To ency.  Liter- | To | Christian | To |Christian ates. | Com- | Constitu- | Com- |Constitu- | municants.| ency |municants. |ency. -------------------|-----------|------------|-------------|-
--------- | | | | -------------------+-----------+------------+-------------+-
---------

That would give us an idea of the character and power of the force. (3)

-------------------------------------------------------
-------------- | | | Percentage | Percentage | | Paid | of Total | of Total | Missionaries.| Native | Foreign Funds| Native | | Workers.| Employed in. | Contributions | | | | Employed in. -------------+--------------+---------+--------------+------
--------- Evangelistic | —­ | —­ | —­ | —­ ----------------------------+---------+--------------+------
--------- Medical | —­ | —­ | —­ | —­ ----------------------------+---------+--------------+------
--------- Educational | —­ | —­ | —­ | —­ ----------------------------+---------+--------------+--------------- Other forms | —­ | —­ | —­ | —­ of work | —­ | —­ | —­ | —­ -------------+--------------+---------+--------------+---------------

That would give us relative emphasis on different forms of work.
