Colonization of Africa? Is the resur-

co-temporaneous resurrection Of her ex-
lied sons ! Must one sleep in the dust
until the other arises ! May not the
trump of God call both from their graves

settled point that the cause of Africa
must be rellnquiscd Here, two millions
and half Of souls are in bondage there,
if mistake not, more than hundred
millions. Here, evangelical light shines
dimly upon all and intensely upon few ;
while in Africa, one hundred millions set
IN darkness and in the reign Of the shad-

REvoLr OF TIE ORGAN LOFT. Great
disturbance was created at Gosberton
chuch on Sunday last by the singers re-
fusing to adopt the psalms selected by the
minister, as has been customary. The
reverend gentleman having been from
home for Il few weeks, they got into a

selves, but on his resuming his duties in
The church, he appointed psalms suitable
to his sermon, SC. These they refused

own selecting, although the minister call

with thel., on the improperly ofther con-
duct, and desiring them to desist, and
sing such as he thought proper, or none.
They kept on with their own selection,

tered the gallery and after his reverence
had talked 10 them for some time, and
threatened them, they left the church,
with an avowed determination of never
entering the gallery again till they are al
lowed TO sing what they please. During

lavish SO much money on your dress. y
"May it please your reverence" replied
the nobleman, "you are perfectly right |,
