Excerpt from China's Millions While there has been much to cheer and encourage, the year has not been without its shadows. An account is given of the short service of Mr. William M. Macgregor, one of the first of the seventy to arrive in China, and the first to pass to his eternal rest. He died on the 3oth of October, 1881, but the account was published in' the February number of 1882. Another death which we have had to record during the year has been that of Mrs. Jackson. She, too, only spent about six months in China before she was called to her eternal rest. She had dedicated her life to the service of the master; He accepted the dedication, and soon took her to himself.
