A certain Man went To deryise, and pro
posed three questions First, Why do

see him in any place show me where he
is" --Second, Why is man punished for
crimes, since whatever he does proceeds
from God ? man has no free will, for he
cannot do any thing contrary TO the will of
God and If he had power he would do e.
very thing for his Own good. Third,
How can God punish Satan in he'll fire.
since he is formed of that element and
whatimpressionc can fire make uponit,elf ?"
The dervise took mp large clod of earth
and struck him on the head with il. The
man went to the cady, and said, Ipropo-
sed three questions to such deryise, who

This society was organised in this city
New York; in the spring of 1919, and in
corporated in the following year by the le-
glslature of this state. Its object has been
very generally approved. In November of
last year, the board Of directors of this So
ciely appointed Mr.. Frey their agent, to
travel southwark TO form auxiliary soric-
ties, receive collections, and by his preach
ing and efforts to interest the christian pub
lie in this great and suspicious cause.-
Mr.. Frey is furnished with the amplest
testimonials, and the fact of his appoint
ment III this service ought to convince all
concerned of the sense we entertain of his
personal characters. Mr.. Frey is mem
her in coed standing of the Presbytery of
New York, in connexion with the General
Assembly ; and since his occupation in this
agency, his successes, his remittances, and
his correspondence, have given entire sa-
tisfaction to the board.
