A New sURe1cAL Casa few


A New SURGICAL Casa few
days since a boy belonging to the
British School, Trowbridge, broke
a blackIead or a slate pencil into
his ear, and so far had it gone in,
and still so short was the piece, that
it babe defiance to the attempts of
one eminent medical man to extract
it, and a second would not make
the attempt, but recommended the
mother to take him to Bath. where
he would, at the hospital, be sure to
meet with proper attention, and be
iudiciously treated. Accordingly
she was preparing the boy for the
iaunt, and was preparing due ablu-
tions on his face, WheR the boy not
behaving quite so well as his mother
thought he ought, she gave him a
smart box with the palm of her
hand on the ear, (but not the ear
that was affected when. strange to
tell, out came the pencil! The cure
was wrought as if by magic, the
journey saved, and all by a good
sound box on the ear.-BGtk f1OSt.

How TO PRAY-THE GOSPEL CA
THoLIcoN.-The Rev. Mr. Ramhler, of
Fulneck, mentioned the case of a Hotten-
tot, who had been despiser of every
thing good, and, from his vicious habits
and gross conduct a terror to all decent
persons. One day, returning home in
toxicated, he had to swim across a deep
river, but being disabled by the liquor, he
laid himself down, and Slept off its eff
feets When he awoke, he was impress
ed with sense Of his awful state; for he
had often been warned Under these
convictions, he was much distressed to
know how to pray. He went to his mas
ter, Dutc hman, to consult with him, but
his master gave him no encouragement
A sense of his wickedness increased, and
he had no one near him to direct him
Occasionally, however, he was admitted
with the family at the time of prayer
The portion Of scripture which was one
day read by the master, was the parable
OF the Pharsee and Publican. While
the prayer of the Pharisee was read, the
poor Hottentot thought within himself,
this is good man; here is nothing for

prayer of the Publican,' God be merciful

below are so good, l take the liberty to copy
it from the Minutes.
CIRCULAR LETTER.
The SALISBURY Baptist association to the several
churches composing the same:
BELOVED BRETHREN Through Divine mercy,
we are gaininduged with the privilege of address
ing to you our annual epistle. Permit us then
most aectonately to call your attention to the SUBJ
ject of PERSONAL PIETY.
We trust that you are in some measure sensible
of the solemn responsibility that rests upon the
church of God. We are called the eight of the
world" and the "salt of the EARTH" To us, as the
visible Zion of God are given exceeding great and
precious PROMISES" and upon us rest the most
solemn responsibilities, from the relation we sus-
! tain to the cause of God and the destinies Of
world Of immortal beings From the nature Of
our holy profession, it might be expected that all
who take upon them the solemn vows which the
religion of Christ imposes, would be holy in heart
and in life. That they would maintain strict ad-
herence to the principles of the gospel and manifest
sacred regard for the institutions and require
ments of the word of God; and that they would
/
exhibit the spirit and temper of the gospel in their
daily department. tits deeply to be depored, how
ever, that such great disparity should exist be-
| tween the holy principles of the gospel and the
examples Of protesting christians. 1t cannot be
concealed that, notwithstanding the rich displays
of Divine grace in the hopeful conversion of sim
ners, and the accession of numbers to many of our
churches, there are melancholy tokens of defcien-
cy in the practical duties Of religion.
| The prevalence of vice and immortality in this
land of churches, Bibles, and religious instruction,
affords painful evidence of the want of healthy
religious influence on the part of those who profess
its holy principles. In too many instances, pro-
Tossing christians would not be known to commu-
nifty, as such, from anything they exhibit in their
lives and conversation. They seem as much inter
ested in worldly pursuits, conversation and amuse-
ments, as those who make no pretensions to reh-
4 gion They are conformed TO the world in theil
: habits, and general appearance. Their influence
tends rather 10 degrade religion and strip it of it:
!, beauty, than 10 promote and exalt IFS haIloweC
principles. In our apprehension, most of the eyi
!, which exist among us and which prevent healthy
religious influence on community, originate in th
neglect of personal religion. No duties are 81
important in their bearing upon our personal en-
7 Joyment and usefulness, as those of persona
character. Religion is designed to affect the hear
= Ito fit us by its regenerating influence to hol
= communion with God, and enjoy his Divine pre-.
y ence. The method by which we derive the bles
ings Of HE grace is most clearly pointed out

Revival at the Sandwich Islands.

A letter from brother Sam'l n. Castle,
dated Honolulu, Nov. IL, 1888, after al

At some of the stations. especially al Wal
