The important class of native missionary labourers has receivedthe accession of one minister and one licentiate preacher, in thepresbytery of Ningpo. Under the care of the same presbytery thereare nine candidates for the ministry; the presbytery of Shanghaihas two candidates ; and the presbytery of Shantung, one can-didate.
