ION OF MISSIONARIES

EMBARKATIoN OF MIssIoNARlRs.-
On the first day of the present month
reinforcement for the Mahratta mission
took their departure from Salem, Mass,
in the Brig Waverly, Capt. Ward, for
Bombay. The names of the persons are
Ebenezer Burgess, Ozco French, and
Robert w. Hume. These, with their
wives, and Miss Cynthia Farrar, who is
returning from visit 10 the u. States,
made seven altogether, and by no means
a small company in these times of en-
barrassment in missionary operations
The embarkation was attended by an i'm
ineuse concourse Mr.. Burgess has sup
piled the place Of Prof Robinson as
teacher in the New York Theological
Seminary. Il is stated that on the 6.h Of
February, 1912, the first missionaries
sent out by the A. B. G. for Foreign Mis-
sions to the East was ordained to the
work in the same house with the breth-
rem above named. 1t would be plea SAINT
to learn that our treasury had become SO
'replenished as TO admit US to begin TO talk
about sending out some new recruits !;
but that day we fear is far distant. If the
means can be raised to support those now
in the field without an accumulation of
debt, we shall be happy. Not that we
have not the means, but those who have
the means want more Of the spirit of mis-
.'sions In their hearts. IN. Y. Bap Reg.

BRANDON. WEDNESDAY, MAY /, 1889.

Let not the following Circular be disregarded be-
cause it is short. Short it is, it mentions things
important to be attended to.
CT RCULAR.
To the Baptist Churches in Vermont:
Brethren There is due to our missiona-
RES in Canada about six hundred dollars,
for labor performed the last year, under the
direction of the Board of your Convention.
The object of this Circular is, to call the at
tention Of the pastors and churches 10 this
subject, and request them to contribute i'm
mediately, something for paying this debt,
which we have owed since October last.
On the second Wednesday in June, the
Board will hold their semi-annual meeting
in Rutland. Will you, Brethren, wake up,
and contribute according to your ability
and forward your moneys to Willard Kim
ball, our Treasurer, before our next meeting
In June, that we may have the means Of
paying this arrearage? You will remem.
Der, that we have had no agent employed
the presentyear to collect funds; hence the
necessity Of having some individuals in the
different churches, take hold of the bust
ness, and do something promptly and efec
tuaily. Our missionaries are liz distress To-
what is due them. Will you relieve them,
say that you will; and they are relieved.
BY order and in behalf Of the Board,

A,Touch of the Sublime.


The Rutland Herald, among other mas
terlv smart things said about the Telegraph
and its Editor, occasioned by the slight no
tice given the former paper by the latter, !
two weeks since, has the following: !
GIVE may be sufficiently ruflled by kind
of harmless rudeness as to induce US TO
exercise correction with that severity that
our neioh5or Of the Telegraph may find
himself shivered into paticles SO small that
it would require a microscope to ind any
part of him." [!!!1
Doubtless this was intended as pattern
of "digntty"-it being Immediately pre-
| ceded by a charge againstJhe Telegraph Of
want-of dignity.

REGARD FOR TRUTH:- -" WITCH is nothing
less the ultra abolition doctrine than the
exercise of FORCE to gire Immediate
partial freedom TO three millions Of colored

( lation! And if we mistake not, the true
/ Garrison doctrine goes still further, and
provides for annihilating all the social rea-
lions in order to give more full scope to the
amalgamating doctrne!'
With the exception of a single word, the
foregoing is marked with the same empha
sis given in the Herald. There is no need
, of one word being said to refute so eyre
gious falsehood, at this late day, in Yer

The Nrassachusefts License Law.

This law, restricting the sale of ardent spirits to
quantities not less than Is gallons went into oper-
alton on the first of April. Advertisements like
the one below already begin to appear. The fulfil
ity of such tampering with sin will soon be demon
strated. tits of one piece with selling indugences,
as practiced by the Romish church, and with grad
ual emancipation as advocated by haters of slavery
in the abstract. Such proceedings are but laugh
ing-stock for the Enemy of all righteousness. The
right to main any monster of sin implies the right
to strike it dead at a blow.
