services OF the evening were commenced IN the
French language by the Reverend gentleman who

venerable looking gentleman lof about eighty
years OF age, and very veteran in the cause Of
the Episcopal faith. His style OF address is simple

/" Bear yon anoiher's burdens; and Jfl the iaw
Of Christ"
Love. II is principle that pervaded his whole
spiritual body. This principle applies also to the
human body, which it should govern for the
general good. The head communicates all this
members, and we act in obedience TO this law
So in spiritual sense act in obedience TO Gods
word. The mouth Of this body speaks and declares
the law Of God, which we are bound to obey
What would you think OF that part Of your frame
that would not act in obedience with your will? A
paralysis would ensue and would alarm you-and
you should be alarmed. The gospel declares Shear
you one another's burdens" You can CONCEIVE
the dangerous situation then 0ccasioned from this
paralysis in the body, and why not as relates to the
soul? Behold the rich man! who refuses to do
what God has commanded him. He does not wish
to be instrumental in creating any OF the comforts
of the human family, and loves his money more
than God. Oh! what death he dies!-and the
spiritual body which is not imbued with the spirit
Of God is equally degraded. Tue church is bound
together by an indissouble chain, OF love-and so
it should be with nations in regard to each other
as well as with communities AID part oil nations as
