' y ; ; The whole foreign mission field has been divided off and certain sections apportioned' to each protestant 'church, in-order that there might be no dup lication of leffort. "In the territory as signed to, us," said Dr. Smith, -"there are tens of thousands of villages filled with 'friendly-faced men, women anl children, ' nbt one of whom has ever heard the name of Christ.
