intoreted, and much gool to their souls was the result.
To show the sort of a place in witch th's God-fearing
man labnred, be would ova them one Instance which

Infesting the hills. The leader of this baud. a young
man, bedew killed a nolgilomr, fied to the Mlle, where
ho was subrequently johnd by another brother, and
ultimately • powerful band was organised. This gene
of robbers hoard that information had boon given of
their wheroeboots, and bovirg, se they thought,
settled upon the informer,tie; resolved to be avenged.
They found out the piste where he lived : the poor
mac saw them COllll/31, and know what was to be his
fete. Be rotted Lie rifle, era endeavoured to take
steady aim, but failed, and be was token a prisoner,

thumb, called upon a primi to coufots him, and tolled
the tell to summon people 0 witu,se the 'auntie°,
the poor miniseries and groans for mercy being heart-
rending, bat of no avail. At length, one of the bonditti,
drawing his dagger, burled it in the Mout of the
prisoner; and, drawing it, covered with blood, from the
wound, he held it up to the horroustrichen spectators:
vaelairolitg, "Take this u• lesson, inform if you dare.
This was the village in which the humble servant
of Christ bad taken up his abode, and wee endeavouring
to spread the Word of God. In the midst of the good
be was accomplishing, the police interfered, copies of
the New Testament were found in his bones, and he
was fined 150 trances for Laving sold or distribeted I

however, was paid by Christian friends. Bet, although
they thu robbed that poor man, they could not deprive
him of the love of Christ which was abed thread in his
hurt. This laved to show what the priests would do
had they the power—they wont.; not only deprive um of
the Word of God, but would do, as they had done on
the Continent, burn their Bibles ; but, thank God,
although they had the will, they bad not the power in
England. He daresay they had all heard the anecdote
of the Irish boy, who the pried went alter, bearing
that he had a cop; of the New Testament. The boy
reluotaatly gave it to the priest, saying "Ati, but you
cannot take the other from me l" The priest thought
he bad another oopy, bat the boy exclaimed "To.
not take away thus fourteen chapters I have leant by
heart," It was thus, although men might be found
to hinder the work of Christ, they °odd not root out the
seed that had bsen ount, bet it would bring forth fruit
in due season. It domed • email thing giving • copy
of the New Testament, but no one knew what Isamu«)
results might follow. The Labour, of the ooloorteurs in
Franco bad been abundantly bleared, although it
was mush trouble to get the people to have the moral
courage to throw off the Papist yoke, The beet
fining he (the speaker) thought they could do to
combat Papery, was to get people to read their
Bibles, and they would then tad that they bad no
used of a priestly aniseed, but should oozier
to God alone. He onoe had • priest for a neighbour-.
he was a very eleven man, and a very tolerant man,
and would shake bands with a Protestant if he met
him In the streeta. But be had mouton to find oat
that a young lady of his acquaintanos who had bees to
school in Frasier, and returned home the the holidays,
although professing to be • Protestant, was in the habit
of going to the Priest to unites to him, and he en-
ooureged her in the scone of that deception. In this
the Priest was authorised by his calling, and he (the
lecturer) would maintain that the very tenets of the
Boman Catholics enoouraged Its priests to onetime •
life of hypocrisy and deceit. Lot the people of England

More bib fly, genuine good living is the gospel, and that
not because the men lives well as for himself, but
bemuse he Lives—born into Life from above." INe you
ask me can this power be hid? I remiod you of the
premiee of the Lord, "Ye shall receive powa after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." There is the
promise. The Muter gave such seserance to the
eisalples, and we know that the promise was fulfilled.
The ?mite of their power ware likewise muffed. The
drat fruits went gathered on the day of Pentecost, and
the fruits wore further seen In the mighty movements
(meditated by thin' over the whole heathen world; in
the sudden overthrow of ancient notaries, rand

The Bev. F. J. Ausrus, of Bridpork followed with
an address on 'The clams of our rani population

riimarked that sympathy has been defined as the
quality of being effected by the oondition of another,
with feeling' correspoodont In kind If not In degree.
To some extent It it Instinctive end involuntary in
man: though It is mere strongly developed In
some than It is in others. A sudden disaster, a
striking spectacle of human misery or woo, rarely falls
to awaken In the heed emotions of companion and
sorrow. But in most mum these emotions arc of • very
trendent character, and though they may prompt to
action, yet, if action is not immediately taken, the
mind become" occupied with other duties, and the
deed is never done. God has so oonstltukd us that
we cannot remain the =re speotators of what monde or
suffer. Even the perusal of a pathetic stcry or the "WA

I they have shed tears of sorrow, or have been reamed to

that this is tot °endued to the country districts but
perhaps it Is more apparent and more wide spread thin
It is in towns. The poor mining woman who when
asked whether aLe knew Jesus CLrist looked blankly

ma to remark up a the Immorality which prevails in oar
rural distrieta. Drunkeon se, debauchery, Sebbith
profanation, blasphemy are oommee among . hem, and
fall to awaken the allgiter regret or shame. Those
evils are among the moot clifii :tilt for a Ohrislan

Infidelity. Another difficulty to be encountered in our
rural diets-iota is the oppressed condition of the popula-
