NORTH INDIA: SIND.

Good News.—Good news comes from Karachi, where for years missionaries have been few and discouragements many. The Rev. C. W. Haskell writes that, m spite of disappointment and opposition, "we have made the greatest progress I have known m the last five years m Karachi. Perhaps it would be correct to say that the Church m Karachi has never known such a year of progress." About florty people were baptised during the year. These belonged to ail classes of society, ranging from depressed class people to a prizeman of Bombay University. Most of these converts have been won as a result of "the witnessing live? of humble Christians both m the city and the district." Whole families have asked for baptism m a way hitherto unknown. Church attendances were so large that it was quite usual to see the porch packed with people and at least fifty sitting outside, and it has been found necessary to enlarge the church.
