REVEALS IN CANADA. Il
Our missionary brother, the Rev. ID.
M Phail, who has been stationed since
last fall at the Indian Lands was lately in
duced to pay visit to Osgood, for the
purpose of declaring to the people IN that
destitute settlement, the 1nsearchable rich
es of Christ. By the following letter to
our brother Milne, it will be seen that
the labors Of Mr.. NJ Phail had been
crowned with signal success--many have
been converted from the error of their
ways,-brought to believe in the Lord Je-
sus. and to walk in newness of life. We
understand that when 'tidings OF these
things came to the ears Of the churches
at Breadalbane and St. Andrews, breth- |
rem Frazer, and Edwards, jun, proceeded
to Osgood who will, doubtless, on seeing
the grace of God,' be glad. and exhor
the disciples, that with purpose of heart,
they should cleave unto the Lord We
hope to have it in our power soon, TO give
some further details of the work of the
Lord amongst that people.-[Canada Bap.
