This Donuin of the Nation, the great Farm Of
the People, was purchased by the blood and trea-
sure Of our revolutionary fathers. 1t was pledged
10 the public creditors to secure the. payment Of
the debt incurred 10 the contest for liberty. This
debt 10 now paid not by the sale or forfeiture OF
the public lands but by the fruits Of our own in
dusty, by the sweat Of our brow. This great farm
is now redeemed, and every acre Of i belongs 10
the people--not to The people Of any particular
State. but the people Of all the States. Now we
say, let have the avails Of these lands, or the

America will be compelled to put their labor in

Extract of letter from Mr.. Thomas
Brown, missionary Printer sent out by the
w. For. Missionary Society,-dated Smyr-
ma, Asia Minor, June %, 1886.
Within a short time past, things have
assumed very serious, not to say alarm
ing, aspect in this country, and in the king
dom of Greece. The Greek bishops and
priests have determined, and are striving to
put down our schools, and bring the inAu.
cnce Of Protestant missionaries TO an end.
They have threatened to excommunicate all
members Of the Greek Church who send
their children to the "American School," as
they contemporary call them. They have
also made several publications in which they
labouriously strive to rouse the national pride
ofthe Greeks, and most earnestly entreat
them to be on their guard against the innova-
tions of the "American ReEgion;' as they
rightly fear that it would materially affect
their customs and usages, and destroy the
power and emoluments of the men who
manage the sonseles and degrading cere-

BUILDING THE WALLS IN TROUBLoUS TINES
There are times when the cause of truth
demands of its friends i two-told duty. viz:
defence and advancement. And these
times arc when the cause is assaIled by the
scrcct devices or open opposition of its enc
mics. Advancement oftrue religion is al
ways the duty ofits friends, but in troublous
times defence is to be added. Thus Ne
hcmiah, building the second temple in the
midst of surrounding enemies, found it
necessary, while he built with one hand, with
the other hand to hold weapon. And
thus Paul, while laboring to advance the
cause of Christ in the world, often found it
necessary to turn back and guard his acqui.
sitions from the influence Of those who
were creeping or breaking in.o the churches,
and trying to spoil men through philosophy
and vain deceit, after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ.
The proper defence of the truth consists
not only in repc!Iing with spiritual weapons,
the attacks Of error when they are openly
made, but in searching out and guarding
against its serect devices and silent en-
croachments. Ifit were not so, no defence
whatever can avail. For error docs not
openly attack until it has prepared the way
by its covered operations. Many who are
determined and resolute in their own minds
on the side of truth, and ready for its de.
! fence when they perceive the enemy in the
open field, are entirely foiled and taken by
s:ratagem. They are waiting to see error
come forth in its own proper name and as
pect, when it is making lis advances in a
borrowed dress. They are waiting to see
i, come up before their faces, when it is
maneuvering behind their backs. They are
waiting to see foe until the foe seizes them
in the garb Of friendship. They are wait.
inc for the manifesto, the manly. open decla.
ration Of the hostile band-but the first they
know the citadel is taken without any man.
ites:o or declaration at all, unless it be
that they all think alike and are all friends,
This is the course which error has always
! taken. and it always viii take. J; remains

us, to the Divine appointment, and restricted
it to the purpose ofthe decreeing will fGod;
inthis manner proving the holiness ofhls will,
in the glorifying Of the Divine counsel aud
in due subjection thereto. This appears
from the tears, which Christ, as man, shed
over the calamities that were coming upon
that abandoned city, which had partly slain,
and partly loaded with contempt and ignom.
my the prophets; nay, had been the only
butcher in the whole world for them; and
was atlength, by most horrd parriclde,
to devote itself, with its unhappy posterity,
to the lasting curse of God" ."-Witsius.
Cheraw gazette. [volume] (Cheraw, S.C.) 1835-1838, 1836-10-11

then, that the friends of truth be aware
o'this fact, and shape their defence to the
state of the case.
But it must not be forgotten, that defence
in all its forms, is only part of Christian
duty. One hand. at least must be at work
in advancing the cause. There is danger
that in times of trouble many will feel salts
fed with mere defence. They are active in
exposing and repelling error, in explaining
and supporting the truth-but there they
stop. They clear the road but do not travel
in it. They set up guide.posts and way
marks, but do not use them. This is great
error in practice.
Wrong scntimen: must be corrected, not
by no sentiment, but by that which is right.
Wrong practice must be corrected by right
practice. The walls must 60 up.
l. Let ministers be more discriminating
in their preaching, especially in respect to
the great doctrines of the Gospel. We be.
lieve the frown of heaven will rest on the
minister and church, where all the counsel
of God is not declared.
.. Let ministers and churches be more
iihful in the administration of discipline.
The dead branches must be pruned off,
Are there not, in some of our churches, men
who are habiually Incorporate, who neglect
the worship ofGod and the ordinances Of
his house, and are in other respects stumb-
ling block?
3. Let the matter of personal religion,
heart experience, private devotion, receive
more attention. 1t is day of speeches,
and stir and noise, and in such times the
danger is, that the heart will be neglected.
4. Let churches see to it, that they
strengthen the things that remain, that are
ready to die. That in the observance OF
the Sabbath, the support Of the institutions
ofthe Gospel, the comfort and encourage
ment of their ministers, the promotion OF
Sabbath schools and the religious instruc.
ton of their children, and in the work OF
charity and benevolence in all It's branches
they let their lights shine.
So may we hope that the God of our faith
ers will bless us, and pour out his Spirit
upon the churches and congregations in our
land, and revive us again, that the people
may rejoice in HIM.-Watchman.
