Statistics  of  the  work  in  the  Northern  field,  owing  to  the  disturbed  state  of
the  country  the  past  year,  are  very  imperfectly  given  ;  but  it  appears  that  be-
fore the  disturbances  9  adults  and  5  children  had  been  baptized,  and  3  adults
at  Cos  ;  1 1  adults  and  7  children  have  been  baptized  at  San  Luis  Potosi.  The
number  of  communicants  is  over  500.
In  the  Southern  Mission,  whose  center  is  the  capital,  under  the  general
supervision  of  Rev.  M.  N.  Hutchinson,  the  statistics  for  the  year  are  as  fol-
lows :  Native  preachers  and  helpers,  13 ;  native  teachers,  6 ;  number  of
churches,  10 ;  whole  number  of  outstations  in  which  believers  are  found,  and
more  or  less  effort  put  forth  by  the  mission,  45  ;  the  number  of  accessions
to  the  churches  during  the  year  has  been  530;  total  membership,  1,857;  total
average  attendance  on  the  Sabbath,  1,400 ;  pupils  in  Sabbath-schools,  400 ;
boys'  day-school,  155;  girls'  day-schools,  128.
The  little  church  at  Tampico,  on  the  coast  of  the  Gulf,  has  been  specially
prospered,  having  received  over  40  accessions  on  a  single  Sabbath.
