lirely unsectarian ; its fundamental principle being
' not to send Presbyterianism, Independency, Epis-
lopacy, or any other form of church order and
|overnment, but the glorious Gospel of the blessed
jod to the heathen, leaving it to the minds of the
persons whom God may call into the fellowship of
lis Son from among them, to assume for themselves
uch form of church government as to them shall
ippear most agreeable to the Word of God." A large
taff of male and female missionaries, drawn from the
arious evangelical denominations at home, and a
iiuch larger staff of trained native ministers and
eachers, carry on its work in Africa, India, China,
'olynesia, &c. The annual meetings of the Glasgow
Auxiliary take place in the third week of November
