YOUNG MEN'S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. NOTES AND NEWS.

INDIA. We are glad to have to report that the mutiny in dia is no longer so serious as to raise fears for our friends ere. No new horrors have occurred. Sir Colin Campbell d our other generals have met the enemy, and gained great ctories over them. We may now look forward to peace soon ing restored in the land; and to the missionaries again comencing their work. With what joy will they return to their ties-Alas! that the joy should be mixed with so much ief for departed friends, and for those who professed to love sus, but whose faith would not stand the "fiery trial" of rsecution. We, however, know that God has overruled this utiny for the good of His own cause, and we trust that it will proved that while individuals have had to suffer, yet His ame has been glorified in all that has occurred. The whole arth is to be the Lord's-India is part of the world, and the eople of the land must be brought to love and serve Him. erhaps the mutiny was sent to teach us to do more for India. MORE MISSIONARIES FOR INDIA.-In 1852 there were only 03 Missionaries in India from Europe. If all the people of ndia are to hear the word of life from these Missionaries, ach one will have to preach to three hundred and eighty housand persons. This is impossible; yet "How shall they ear without a preacher, and how shall they preach except hey be sent ?" Our own and other societies are trying to raise unds to send more Missionaries to India; and they ask the aelp of all in their great work. Not the least do they want the help of the Sunday scholars and young Christians in England. Will the readers of the JUVENILE HERALD help? They have heard of Jesus-and his great salvation. Will they refuse to help that others may learn of Jesus too? No, we trust not; we hope the subject will be prayed over by them, and that they will give all they can, and do all they can, for the increase of Missionaries in India.

WHAT CHILDREN CAN DO.-The other day we heard of an infant scholar who during one quarter has subscribed in the

missionary-box no less than TWO HUNDRED FARTHINGS, beside some other money. One friend, writing from the country says "Please send me some missionary-boxes; our school children are now collecting more than 20s. a month for the mission, but we wish to have a box for each class." We have looked into the Baptist Missionary Report to see what was done by the school last year, and we find that in 1855 and 18 they raised only £13 for the two years. This is the kind progress we like to hear of, and as we know the scholars will all see THE JUVENILE HERALD, we say to them-TRY, TRY again. Another friend tells us of a little girl who wished to give something to the mission cause, but who had to wark for what she gave; she said to her teacher, "My father gives me a penny for every crochet collar I make, that's how I give my pennies, teacher. I just do work and make my fingers ache!" These instances show that wherever little children TRY they CAN do much for the mission cause. Let the readers of the HERALD try, and each give a farthing or more every week, and beside giving themselves, let them collect something from their friends.

LECTURES. The new lecture on "India and the Mutiny has been delivered at Lewisham-road; Farringdon-hall: Deptford; Hammersmith; Myddleton-hall, Islington Homerton; Maze-pond, Southwark; Ann's-place, Hackney Westbourne-grove; Spencer-place. Schools desiring to have this lecture should make application now to the Secretary of the Young Men's Association, as the season will soon be over.

JUVENILE AUXILIARY MEETINGS, &c.-Addresses have been delivered during the month at Kingsgate-street, and Ann'* place, Hackney, by Mr. H. Keen and the Secretary. The next JUVENILE HERALD will contain a list of the Juvenile Annual Meetings, and the Hymns to be sung. We have! lately heard from some Juvenile Missionary Associations in the country; we shall be glad to hear from others, and if any assistance can be rendered by the Association, either in forming or in sustaining such Auxiliaries, the Committee will gladly render it. There can be no more fitting object to en gage the attention of such societies now than the increase dɗ the Mission to India.

ON THE MAP OF AFRICA.

You see in this Map, especially toward the southern parts, great blank spaces in the centre. Does this mean that there are no inhabitants there, or only wild beasts in the deserts and forests? Old maps would have filled up those spaces with pictures of lions, tigers, crocodiles, and hippopotami. But it would be a mistake to suppose that such were the only dwellers in the interior of the land. The discoveries of Dr. Livingstone have shown that there are large tribes of black, but strong and brave men in those districts. He has also found there rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and many tracts of fine and fruitful land. No doubt we shall know the people and their country better some day; and perhaps they may grow for us, and send over to us, many useful things, as tea, rice, cotton ; while we send to them our manufactures for dress, furniture, building; but, first and best of all, the GOSPEL of God's dear Son. Suppose a line drawn upward from Cape Colony, through the very middle of the blank part, to the river Zambesi (called Zambose in the map), another line to meet it along the Zambesi from the sea, and then another line, still through the blank part, to the sea, just below where the word CONGO is printed-that line would show
