Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society • . Simla. He discharged the duties of both offices with high efficiency and devotion for fourteen years, gaining for himself much esteem and affection as a minister at Simla, where his memory is still cherished, and. rendering valuable service as an Evangelist in Assam and throughout India from year to year during the cold season. In 1884: he left India, and having been appointed Secretary at home, continued in that position until 1895, when increasing infirmity made it necessary for him to retire. Both in India and at home Mr Fordyce laboured to advance the interests of the Society with persistent devotion, and to the close of his life the work lay very near his he:1rt and had a place in his prayers. Associated in early life with the Bonars, and enjoying the friendship of the three brothers, Rev. Drs. James, Andrew, and H oratius, until their death, Mr Fordyce was deeply imbued with the spirit of that evangelical revival they did so much to promote. His gracious and attractive Christian character gained access for him as an Evangelist among our own countrymen scattered over India, and enabled him to commend the work of the Society to many at home. He has been gathered as a shock of corn fully ripe, and the Directors in recalling his memory desire to render thanks to God for his many years of Christian service. Sir ALEXANDER MACKENZIE, K.C.S.I. During this past year also, a great loss has been sustained through the death of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Society. Throughout a long Indian career, in which he filled positions of the highest honour, Sir Alexander Mackenzie maintained a high Christian character and testimony, and manifested hearty sympathy with whatever was fitted to advance the kingdom of Christ. He WaS deeply interested in the work of the Anglo-Iudian Evangelisation Society, and strongly advocated the need for special provision being made to meet the religious wants of our own countrymen in India. Like Sir John Woodburn, whose loss we have also had to mourn, Sir Alexander Mackenzie belonged to that order of Anglo Indian Christian Statesmen, who have been at once an ornament to our eountry, and a source of strength to our Indian Empire. C. G. MASTER, I.C.S. In addition to these losses, a further loss has been sustained by the recent death of Mr C. G. Master, a valued member of our London Committee. For many years Mr Master regularly attended the meetings of Committee, and manifested an assiduous interest in the work of the Society. His excellent Christian character gained .. for him the esteem of his co· directors, and the sen ice he rendered in the c')nduct of the Society will be much missed.
Anglo-Indian 'Evangeliaation ,&ciety. 17 ANGLO-INDIAN LADIES' UNION. Hon. Secretary and Treaaure7'-MRS ADOLPHUS ORR, 12 PEMBRIDGE PLACE, BAYSWATER, LONDON, W 190 2. IN connection with the Ladies' Union, drawing-room meetings have been held as usual, which were helpful and encouraging. Rev. P. R. Mackay, D.D., gave one of the addresses, and was listened to with great pleasure, as he gave an account of the work of the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society. This meeting was presided over by Rev. Hugh Falconer, M.A., B.D., who very kindly gave up some of his valuable time to be present at the meeting. A special meeting was held to bid God-speed to R'ev. I. F. Row before his departure to India, at which three of the Directors of the Anglo-Indian Evangelisation Society were present, and W. Coldstl'eam, Esq., B.C.S., very kindly took the chair. Mr Row expressed his great pleasure at the heartiness of the meeting, and returned to his labours encouraged and cheered by the assurance that the prayers and good wishes of so many friends would follow him. The membership of the Ladies' Union has had two additions during the year. Bibles and illustrated New Testaments were sent out to four Schools, at Dharwar, Hu bli, Bellary, and Arsikiri. These prizes, given out at Christmas time, are gladly welcomed by the children. May the good seed find an entrance into many hearts and bring forth fruit to the praise and glory of God.
