undervalue tbe ervice f the laity in the Church,
and so long as the clergy go to their work in the spirit
of the gospel, so long will their services be valued.

Power for which our 'soldiers and sailors fought no
valiantly, and bled RO freely, to be handed over, in all
humility, to Russia? it is far tor, painful to contem-
plate ; we have made sacrifices in times past to main•
tain the Balance of Power, and as a bulwark against
the encroachments of Russia, I have always believed
that to be a wise policy, and nothing has occurred to
induce me ti change it. It has been Kai.; that Armenia
in to he the prize for Russia! I cannot believe it
possible that our Government can look with indiffer-
ence upon Russia retaining Armenia; Russia will
have played her cards well if the war terminates and
she fin Is herself in possession of such a prize. She
will have been fully compensated for present lonws,
and Ow cu, siTu t., rest content, and hide her time
to obtain hcr cherished alto of Caistaiditiople. How
Europe can allow Russia to go in is beyond me;
