What course then can we pursue?
We propose first to accept the notion that the medical mission is there to supply a medical need of the people, and to consider how far it does that; and then to look at the medical work at the station as definitely designed to assist the evangelisation of the people, as evangelistic in its purpose.

We have, therefore, designed a double set of tables to serve these two purposes.
First, tables to show the medical work in relation to the presumed need of the district for western medicine.
Here, as before for evangelistic work, so now for medical, we have expressed the relation between the medical work and the district in terms both of area and population in order that each table may be a check upon the other.

Thus:-- (i) In terms of area.
