OBSERVER

He who sends an advertisement to a news-
paper, without giving directions as to ito in
sertlon, is presumed to wish it inserted every
publication day until ne orders it stopped.Z
any other rule would lead to infinite confu-
sion and difficulty. 1t is very easy for every
man who sends or brings an advertisement
to make the terms of his contract with the
publisher, and settle beyond future cavil, the
price ne Is to pay for it. If he omits this ne
cessary preliminary, his advertisement will
and ought to be charged at the regular rate,
until he orders 1t to be discontinued.

The BIBLE CAUSE.


Mr.. Editor Allow me room in your pa
per to remind your readers of their duty to
aid in circulating the scriptures specially,
as the minutes Of the annual meeting of the
6 Vermont Bible Society auxiliary to the
A. F. B. s." at Mountholly, were mislaid,
and have never been published. The ofi-
GERS of the Society with a very few exce9-
lions, are the same as were elected at Wa
terbury IN October of 1887. 1t will be re-
membered that J. P. Skinner, Esq, of Wind
sor, is Treasurer; and that il is very impor-
tant that funds be raised and forwarded 10
him soon, in order that he may have time to
forward them TO the parent society at the
annual meeting in April.
The object Of organizing State Society
was, to promote regular and systematic
contribution to the funds. 1t was recon-
mended that each Association should form
branch of the State Society; and that
each church and individual member should
be invited annually to contribute. II must
be obvious to every rejecting person, that
without set time for making collections,
but very little will be raised.
was anxious thatt Convention should
specify the times most proper for raising
funds for each benevolent institution; and
| il there had been time should have offered
resolution TO that effect; and had it not
been for the special effort necessary to be
made TO relieve the Domestic Mission on or
before the first of January, should have
proposed that time for the Foreign Mission
the first of March for the Bible Society,"
the first of September for the Domestic or
Home Missionary Society leaving suffi-
cient intervals for making collections for the
other objects patronized by the churches
Agreeably to this plan the Vermont Associ-
alton recommend the making of collections
for the Bible Socisty On or before the first
of March next. To this hope the churches
will cheerfully respond; and that through
the State wherever collections have not
this, year, been made, they will be made a,
that time; that they may reach their destina-
ton al the anniversary of the parent Socie-
ty, in New York, in April next.

THE CANADA MISSION.

BARNsToN, &c February11, 1899.
Dear Brother Murray, returned
from the Convention, last October, we have
had rather dark and gloomy time for the
Canada Mission. The aear had thrown
everything into confused state, and it
would seem that the last vestige of virtue
and religion were about to be swept from
the land. did not know, for while, but
we should have to abandon the Mission
at least for season-but this | was an
willing 10 do. did not feel like quitting
the field. So we kept on laboring, striving,
by the help OF God. to hold the churches
where they were aud, thanks be to Him,
in some places the dark cloud begins to dis
perse. A brighter day is dawning.
On The lst Of February / left home, cross
ed the Lake, and found my way 70 ST. Ar
mand, TO which place brother Britain has re-
moved his family and commenced missiona-
ry operations, since the session of The Con-
vention. Here was once Baptist church,
in somewhat fourishiag state but it had
for long time been destitute Of the means
of'grace. Their numbers were reduced
and they were almost sunk down in despair
YET there were few Baptist and Metho.
dist brethren who were mourning over the
desolatious Of Zion. On the first day Of
February, we commenced protracted
meeting. The people soon came together
in multiludes. The Holy Ghost seemed Il
fall upon them. The word preached found
way to many heart. They cried TO know
wha, they should do 10 be saved, and were
directed to believe on The Lord Jesus Christ
Many, we trust, obeyed and goodly nun
