Further to illustrate the unity of the Churches under the care of the two Missions, I will transcribe from the Reports of the Amoy Mission, for the years 1861 and 1862.
From the Report for 1861. Dated Feb. 24. 1862.
Our work is so interwoven with that of the Missionaries of the English Presbyterian Church, that we cannot give a full report of the state of our Churches and out-stations without including in it a partial report of some of their stations. We have, therefore, thought it best, both on this account, and because the Churches gathered by us and by them are really one, to give statistics of both Missions with brief remarks. These, besides simplifying the matter, will enable the Church at home to become better acquainted with the real progress of the cause of Christ in this region.
