therefore, most unfair to censure us. We cannot refuse
to lend our east building to good men without acting the
part of the dog in the manger; and, at V* same time,
we are not prepared to be praised or blamed for all which
may be done by persons to whom we so knd it.
Whether for good or evil, Mr. Hammond's work, like
everybody; eke's, must stand or fall on its own merits.
There is a very great diversity of tooling, even at the

evidently been a blessing to our school; sad that, with
much tbat is not at all to our taste, there was the true
ring of fervent love to Christ in them, and we intend to
wait and watch results. As to frightening or terrifying
the children, nothing of the sort was attempted or aeoom-

inns of the services, if any, did not lie in that direction.
Mr. Hammond le an earnest servant of Cod, and a prince,
of yrs &chore to children. It is not in our heart to cavil at
his peculiarities of pi ocedure, and if we diver from some
of his statements and modem of action, it is with the full
conviction that be has a right to do his own work his own
way. He might as Justly criticise us as we condemn him.
At any rate, he elands on his own footing, and we ought
neither to be honoured nor blamed for a work in which he
was the sole leader."

to the rank of sergeant by the privates, who pre-

embroidered the distinguishing marks of his mili-

what he was doing with the goat. On being informed of

After the battle the artillerymen promoted him to the

Coronini. After through all the dangers of the

march of the army after the conclusion of the war to
break one of his legs white leaping down from a waggon;
but the science of the regimental surgeon and the needful
repose soon reinstated him in his fanner robust state
of health, and he was able to march at the hood of his
battery on the memorable triumphant entry of the army
into Berlin in September. 1866.
