FRUITS OF ONE SERmoN.-A cores
pondent Of the N. Y. Evangelist states,
that the Rev. William Jay, of Bath. Eng
land. preached on the /3Ist OF January,
i84l, his jubilee sermon, it being the ff-
!ieth anniversary of his settlement in that
city. La tine early part Of his industry he
preached a sermon in London, which was
blessed to the conversion OF a dlssolute
young man, who became an eminent min
lister of the Gospel, oy whose preaching a
young man, by the name of East, now a
distinguished clergyman III Birmingham,
Was brought to repentance. Two years
after the conversion of Mr.. East, when he
was preaching in London, gay young
man was persuaded TO entef the place of
worship, where he heard sermon which
led to his conversion; and this young man
was John Williams, the missionary, who
lately lost his life in he South Sea Islands.
The founder of the Discovers College,
near Birmingham, was also converted by
Mr.. EaSt's Iabors. H.. was man of
wealth, and promised Mr.. East an estate
for some charitable object. which Mr.. E.,
was to designate. The College was sug-
ges1td, and he soon gave Mr. E.. as a
foundation for the Institution, five estates,
and $4,000 in money. Let US add to
these fruits Of that single sermon of Mr..
Jay, all the other results of The labors of
the three ministers of the Gospel, who
owe, under God, their conversion to that
discourse. What imagination can con-

And how insignificant appear, in this

EXTRACT FROM THE

ON THE SEMINOLE WAR
Concluded.

But, sir. where are those slaves2 Are
they Set at liberty, or have they been sold
Into slavery? The purchase was certain
ly very extraordinary transaction, and
one that will excite Inquiry. The slaves

committee curious correspondence re-
sqectlng their being employed In such
manner as to earn their hiring, aud the

fer that purpose.
The manner in which they were to be
finally disposed of seems TO have created
sotne uncaslness with the Commissioner
| OF Indian Affairs. In letter addressed
TO The actIng Secretary of War. dated May
|, 1888, Speaking of the purchase Of these
slaves, he says: 81 would respectfully
suggest whether there are not other or
JectIons to the purchase of these negroes
by the United States. 1t seems TO me
that proposition 10 Congress to appro-
pirate money TO pay for them, and their
Transportation to Africa, could its authori

other disposition of them, would occasion
