native support may suggest the
measure to which our work as medical and educational missionaries is
approaching a successful end.
We therefore include a table identical for medical and educational
workers:--
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Total | Total | Total Native | Volunteers
| Expense | Foreign | Contribution | for
| of Work in | Contribution. | Fees and | Training.
| Station | | Donations. |
| Area. | | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Medical | ---- | ---- | ---- | ----

CHAPTER VII.
CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN THE MISSION.
We have now surveyed the evangelistic, medical, and educational work in
the station district, viewed separately. It remains to unify the
results, that we may get, if possible, a definite conception of the
whole. The effectiveness of the mission machinery largely depends upon
the relation of these parts to one another. The mission ought not to be
three separate things but one thing; for the impression produced upon
the non-Christian population is the result of the combination of all the
various forms in which the one missionary spirit expresses itself. The
spirit which produces them all is one, and it is that one spirit which
influences and converts the heathen.
Now we already know the proportion in which workers and funds are
divided between the three branches (p. 68). We already know something
of the work done by evangelists in hospitals (p. 83), and by doctors in
evangelistic tours (p. 84); and of the extent to which the work in the
hospitals opens up the way for evangelists (p. 85). We already know
something of the work done by evangelists in schools (p. 99), and of the
evangelistic influence of the educational work (p. 102, 103), and of the
extent to which educationalists assist in evangelistic tours (p. 101).
If then we now add tables to show the help given by the medicals in the
schools and the work done by the educationalists in the hospitals we
shall be able to gain a fairly complete idea of the co-operation bet
