from this course. The Navy will be preserved in
active service, free of expense, and will compel the
Mexican Government to more peaceful policy

stances Of our churches, their advancement
in knowledge, spirituality and practical piety,
will, il il inferred, form prominent points in
the history.
Since my recollection, for also @passfor
an old man." we had no sabbath schools, no
bible classes, no colleges and theolog cal
seminaries. Our Baptist fathers strongly
protested against written sermons, stipulat-
ed salaries and worldly titles. Now we are
I" full and abound" in all these things
From small community, our churches
have increased to large and respectable
protesting body Of christians. Formerly,
our churches were poor, our preachers illit-
crate; they itinerated and preached WHEREBY
er they found open doors. Now, our con-
gregations are more wealthy, our ministers
are more learned, and settle, read notes, and
are called Rabbi, like the congregations from
whom we originally separated.
These remarks are made neither for CEN
sure nor praise. This state Of. things, SO d.
verse from the former, we have had oppor-
tunity and sufficient time to prove. What
has been the result2 Are our ministers
and churches as they have become more
learned and wise, become more united in
love, more humble, more spiritual, more pure
in doctrine, more powerful in word, than
formerly? In the forthcoming history,
these queries will, hope, receive the inyes-
tigation which their importance may be
thought to demand, and The low degree to
which the standard of gospel piety and spir,
itual mindedness too long prevalent and pre-.
vailing among US is let down, imperiously
requires at our hands.
| 1t is worthy of remark that the sacred his
torian presents both sides Of the characters
they delineate-the dark as we'll as the
bright shades, the faults as well as the vir
tues of human development. Our annua
statistics as prepared for associational use
it must be confessed, have not always beer
of this character. Let the history meditatee
be marked by intelligence, probity and i'm
Ipar,iaiity in its execution, and it will prov
