He admits ' that for the present , at any rate , money is indispensable for the support of the Christian agency already in the fieldand he
further admits that this agency must , be kept Church up , and has even been extended educated at all and trai zards ned until to what the
he conceives to be its proper work . Mr . Gall gives a most interesting account of an unpaid agency in operation ¦ in ¦ Edinburghwhich has
