Chris,sn knowledge by the dissemination OF
Bibles, Common Prayer Books and religious
tracts, have been Tong confessed among chris
sians generally, and particularly in q. Britain
There, large sums OF money are annually ex-
pended, IN promoting these objects. In
new country, il is of immense consequence,
even in civil point OF view,that religious and
D.oiai principles should keep pace with the
increase of population and wealth. In regard
To the eternal interests of man, the impor-
tsnce of this truth rises above oil calculation.
CHRIsTIANs your sympathy is often Ia
wakencd for the bodies Of men. Have COM
passion on their souls. Minister TO their
spiritual health Provide Tor their eternal
welfare. AT the last day an enquiry will be
instituted Have ye fed the hungry Have
ye cIoathed the naked Remember ! more
important enquiry will be--fiave ye fed the
hungery with the bread Of life ? Have yc
cioathed the naked with the garments OF
salvation
The earnest prayer is offered 10 him who
holds in his hand the hearts OF all men, that
he would dispose Christians to aid an instiu-
tion, hunbly devoted 10 his gIoFy, with the
means OF permanently and extensively diiiu-
sing the knowledge OF his holy word.

1t would afford an infinite fund of amuse.
mcnt to trace the zigzag course of modern
federalism. Al one moment, we find il cloth.
ed in thunders, hurting its bolts OF wrath
proniscuously among the infdels who disbe.
lieve the sincerity Of their professions of pat
riotism--At another time, when they perceive
. prospec, OF defeat in the purposes nearest
their hearts, we find them fawning as the
zohihfied ,Shanfel. After the election in. 1909,
they boldly talked OF severence of the Un.
ion--boasted that their firm, hdtsfotick, and
dig'yfed conduct had awed the general govern.
ment, and compelled them to abandon sys-
tenn OF measures which WAS then believed
best calculated TO preserve the peace OF the
country, and procure redress of injuries from
foreign powers. Vermont, New Hampshire,
and Massachusetts yielded lo deceptions, and
became the instruments and tools of traitors,
20 subserve the cause of Britain, and awe the
American. Rhode-lsIand and New-York
were seriously affected and well nigh became
victims. Federalism calculated with consid-
cradle certainty on the cooperation Of ali the
New-England states, to support its treasona-
ble projects in 1910 and itsde6ances of the
national government shew how Ear the mis-
chief might have extended, but for the good

All mourn the Minsiieis harp unstrung,
Their name unknown, their praise unsung."
The love of country is neatly touched in
