CHRISTIAN could be conscious of wearing a
singular dress, without being reminded q
lDeing expected to live with singular pro-
Ipriety.

ing the Operation of the Church's charity
Is most serious consideration. IF the
fve hundred thousand Baptist Church
members In the United States, would re-
trench one dollar in each bonnet and hat
and one dollar in each best garment. what
an immense revenue would be produced.
l-nea'ty TWO MILLIONS per Gnnuut.-

IN house rent, furniture, tobacco &c. an
equal sum would be saved. Is there
then, no guilt upon Us, for wasting upon
our fusts, FOUR MILLIONS Of dollars per

a fraction ofwhat is spent by Baptists for
uses which do not add mite to our COM
fort or usefulness. ~

lose their standing in the circle of their

Additional Baptisms.

April 2. Baptized six converts, after
giving most satisfactory accounted their I.
conversion and faith in The Lord Jesus
Christ. The accommodations we enjoyed
Tor the first time on this occasion, were
much valued by US, as they enabled me 10
hold regular service. and afterwards a
Prayer-meeiiRg. We had a large fat,
botiomed covered barge, that will accom-
MEDIATE at least fifty persons ;--oor compa-
ny Consisted OF about twenty. We pro-
ceeded about six miles down the river
where we ran her aground, on sand
oank, on the Hanoyerian side. that the or
dinance might not be administered on,
Hamburg territory. We were much re-
ireshed IN our spirits, and fell grateful for
the gracious providence by which we
were furnished with such superior ac-
Communications. The administration. of
Baptism made salutaryz impression ON
the husband oil one of our Sisters who
was baptized, who also gives pleasing in
dicaiions that the Spiril Of God has be-
gun good work in him.
z. The Lord Jesus made this a pre-
cious day to,the church. The admission
OF cur SIX new members was improved,
and The exhortation to the church On The
occasion, has been greatly blessed 10 most.
When surrounding the Lords table, ye
felt that we had not only fellowship one
with laDother, bul also with God our faith

lsus Christ We were constrained TO ex-
claim, ii is good TO be herel
