the accounts of the unparalleled sufferings on the
Continent, which have ariserrfrom war and disease,
and feeling for the forlorn situation of numberless
children whotaee been deprived of their parents, for-
med themselves into a Committee ; and calied on the
female inhabitants in the paribh to solicit their assis-
tance in raising a fund for the relief of these helpless
• innocents. T. call was not made in vain, for
through the liberality of all classes, not excepting
servants, who contributed largely, the sum of E 219.

as Big,Oven Sonterrs!—A year is, elapsed since we were
called spun to return thanks to Con for delivering our realms
from the, bands of cruel and powerful enemies. -Scarcely is the
present year expired, and already our victorious banners are
erected on the banks of the Rhine. Europe, which was armed
against irs, is now voluntarily marching with us! All the nations
' which He between Russia and France fellow our example ; and,
. baying united their arms with ours, turn them against the op-
. pressor of the nations.
" So great a change upon earth Could tray have been effected

rises and falls by the power of his almighty arm. Who is power•

be proud of our own deeds. Let us never imagine that we are
itore than wean mortals What are we? So long as the hand
Goo is with us, we are to possession of wisdom and might
but without him we are nothing. Let all the praise of man,
rerefore, be silenced before him. Let each of us present tilt
sacrifice of praise to ;dint° whom it is disc. Our true glory and
honour is humility before Min. We are convinced that each of
our faithful subjc.cte always feels this, and especially after so

therefore, by thesemritintents of humility and zeal, we ordain,
on ,be preaftiz occasion, that throughout our whole unyoke every
temple of Goo be opened; that in every church solenia thanks.*
