Perhaps our friends and the friends of
the Palestine Mission begin to yield to de-
spondency.. We have indeed to contend
against principalitics and powers, against
spiritual wickedness in high places; but the
weapons Of warfare, which i trust we are
using, have in every age been found nigh

NATIONAL SOCIETIES.,

Since the formation Of National Societies
seems to be the order Of the day, what if
we should propose the institution Of one
for the Promotion of the Sancti6cation of
the Sabbath Z" The object has certainly
sufficient Importance. Different religious
denominations, Quakers excepted, could u
mite in IL; and as for topics of inquiry,
there are several, which, for their practi-
cal influence, if for nothing else, should
seem to be of sufficient magnitude to enlist
the first talents of the nation.
Western Recorder.
Having quoted the above, the Connecti-
cut Observer adds -" The same sugges-
ton has been made in this vicinity. Some
weeks since, the subject was urged in our
hearing, by a gentleman who has devoted
many thoughts to the means of promoting
the Sanctification Of the Sabbath. Such a
Society might collect mass of facts. by
means of members scattered over the I'm
ion, which would show the extent of the
evil to be remedied--it would concentrate
and give energy to the influence of the
friends Of the Sabbath--would constitute
watch of human eyes over that holv dav
which might restrain some who regard not
the inspection of the Omniscient eye,-and
would naturally aid in promoting Sabbath
Schools, as one of the bcst ,auxiliaries 10
their design" @

REVIVAL In NORTHAMPTON.

Extract Of u letter from Northampton,
Mass. to a gentleman in Nev- York, d.
ted Oct. f, 1896. @
"On Friday of last week, the Church as
sembled in the forenoon, and were met by
their pastor, who. made a solemn and inter-
esting address. He recalled to our minds
our feelings at the last communionr season
our solemn covenant cngagements-Our
resolutions and enlarged expectations and
tenderly enquired of each individual, if he
had been faithful to the vows made at the
table of the Lord if we had warned and
exhorted the impenitent as we had oppor-
tunity-if we had wrestled with God in
prayer for them--if we had felt the worth
of souls as those who must give an account.
He was followed by clergyman from a.
broad, who, after relating some facts which
occurred during a late revival among his
own people, stated what he had observed
during bis residence with us, (about ten
days.) Some who were deeply impressed
when he came, had almost lost all feeling
upon the subject of religion-others had
fingered till that time, almost in despair
He concluded by saying, that it was evident
to him that the hand of God with us was
stayed. The sensation which this infor-
nation. produced ] cannot describe-the
church, / believe, retired to weep and
mourn. In the afternoon we attended
preparatory lecture, apd on the Sabbath
the Sacrament of the Lords Supper. Pre-
vious to its being administered, we witness
sed the solemn conservation Of thIty-0ne
of the young converts to their God and Sa-
viour before the great congregation. Du-
ring Monday we we're constantly hearing
of the trophies Of redeeming love, and ev-
cry day since, they have been multiplied
a new impulse actuates the children Of God.
and sinners are trembling with anxiety in
every direction. Truly we may say 'sWhat
hath God wrought !'-M Y. OBS.

Our heavenly Father has indeed seen tit
to exercise orr patience, to diminish our
numbers, IN afllct us, and to bring US ex-
ccedingly low; but he has also comforted,
and strengthened, and blessed us. We are
called upon to singof mercies as well as Of
judgments. In the midst of the strivings
of the people, and the scorn and dcrision
of those about us; amidst sickness, and
death, and weakness, and discouragement,
the Lord hath made bare his arm, and hath
taught us. that il is 6 nothing with him to
help, whether with many, or with them that
have no power" We have reason 10 hope
that the work ofregeneration is begun, and
that one individual has passed from death
unto life. We fall on our faces, and say,
lit is not for our sakcs, that Cod hath done
this, but for his own names sake," and for
the vindication of his own glory. Much
sensation has been excited throughout the
whole country in consequence of the change
wrought in this Arab, and many are the en-
beavers to turn him away from the faith.
He is well known to the Emirs, to the Pa
triarch, to all the bishops and priests, and
to nearly all the people of Lebanon; and
on account of his superior talents and ac-
quirements, his influence is much dreaded
by all those who oppose the circulation and
contradict the truth of the Holy Scriptures.
We have seen no native who appeared to
possess more vigorous mind, and who had
a greater cosanland of the Arabic language,
than he. Before the Emirs, and in the
presence Of the highest ecclesiastical au-
thorities in the country; in the midst OF
obloquy, and in the face of danger, he has
Witnessed good confession; aud we can
not but hope that God has raised him up
to be an instrument of great good to this
people. Mr.. Bird, who had employed him
as his teacher in Arabic, is preparing par
ticular account of him. We recommend
him and ourselves to your prayers, and to
the prayers of all those among you who
love Zion. o that this may be but the
prelude to great and glorious blessings r
The same letter contains list Of arti-
cles needed by the mission families, from
which it appears that every article is re-
quisitc which families in America need,
while many of them cannot be procured
unless they are sent to them.

the Revolution; served his country faith

OF colleague acting in confidence and

to some witless wight, pretending to be
the result of conference between Mr..

whining cant Of reluctance in insulting

violating its own feelings of propriety, by
publishing ii: but urging that its devo.
ton to the liberty Of the Press" would
not permit it TO throw it in the FIRE,
which was the only fit place for it. The
cant phrases which dcmsgogues manu-

defend their impropsietics and their
baseness. 1t was the liberty of mind
which threw down the temples of God

Right Of wrong'-The opposers of

sertions, say that bis friends would have
him supported, regardless of his acts,
whether right or ,oroas. These char
ges are wholly without foundation. The
supporters of Mr.. Adams have not, as
vet, and we trust never will, by uphol-
ding an administration right or wrong"
initiate his opposers, who are dstermin-
ed to assail it fright or wrong" The
difference between Mr.. Adams friends
and his enemies is this: the first are
disposedto give him fair trial, to sup
port him until he violates his sacred OBJ
legations, and betrays the interests of
his country; while the latter, having
declared, Immediately after the election,
that "were be as pure as the angels, he
shall still be pnt down." are resolved to
accomplish that object, and therefore
oppose him in every act, and every
where misrepresent his supporters.
