From The True Wesleyan.
French Mission, and Champlain
Conference,

The prospects and wants of this miss
ion, within the bounds of the Champlain
Conference, having for its special object
the salvation of the Canadian French was
in part introduced to the readers of the
Wesleyan OF July 26.h. But the import
ance of this field for pous effort in pro-
noting the salvation of precious souls,
cannot be overrated. Thousands are ig-
norant of the spirit of true religion, and
are as real objects OF our zeal and comm is
seration, as any to be foupd in the land
The door is open before us-many are
willing to hear, and we have the men
qualified to speak to them in their own
native tongue; and with th ese talents
placed at our dispose we dare not shut
up our bowels of compassion for these
lost sheep Of our great Shepard's pur-
chase.
Now the special object of this commu,
nication is, to say to the friends Of the
mission cause in and out of the Wesleyan
Connection, that we are in pressing need
OF means TO sustain our missionaries, BROS
Croker and BournaSsa. Our mssi on
has not been costly one, the entire
amount required the past year being but
$500, for the support of our missionaries
This sum, however, was more than we
were able 10 raise ia our small Conference
as we are all in our infancy, and large
portion of our members are connected
with the 81. Lawrence Conference, after
the mission was determined upon. By a
most commendable liberaity on the part
OF number, we succeeded in raising
triffe over 5000 of this amount, and the
remainder snII remains unpaid, most of it
having been loaned, and is now pressing
Iy needed.
Now will not the friends OF missions,
who cannot mingle their offerings TO the
Treasury of the Lord with the avaiIs of
the unpaid toll of the bondmam. devise
some liberal aid to mission established
in the midst of at least ten thousand souls,
the greater par: of whom are as ignorant
of the word of God as the prescribed |
slave in the heather South2 To the hearts, !
and ears, and Iiberality OF the friends OF
gospel which "honors all men," we place
these facts, and ask that something may
be done quickly"

horrence of all that savors of the spirit, or

sanguinary monster. These unpoetical
"reminiscences are living, without any
association with romance or the heroes
Of the Imagination, in the sleepless misery
of millions of your fellow-bejngs-t
burning inheritance of War. The down
crushed poor Of Christendom, with the
bleared vision OF their starved intelecls,
are cropping for the cause of their poverty
and degradation, and grasping it in lis
slow revelation.
They have discovered, in the mons.
trous Iineaments of War, the pampered
Gorgon which for ages, has fed at the
veins Of Labor, and is now eating out he

souls, and enslavng them TO want, wretch

bal, War, before the tribunal of Humanity,
and enter there The evidence OF its savage
atrocities perpelrated on the race, and

Here then, Mr. Editor, are few of the
"reminiscences Of War, entirely shorn of

God is thy throne accessible to me?
Me poor slave, may draw near
Thy sacred throne, and humbly bend the knee
While thy 1ohite worshipers are kneeling there
May approach celestial purity,
And not offend thee with my sable facet
Thy company of saints so fair to see,
Behold already shrink from the disgrace!
Thou art our maker, and | fain would know,
If thou hast different seats prepared above,
To which the master and servant go,
To sing the praise OF thy eternal love-
There will the buyer urge the price of gold,
Which here for this uncomey clay he gave,
Thathe my portion may appoint and hold,
In bondage still, the helpless, trembling slave!
Or will the dearer ransom paid for all,
A Saviours blood, impress me with t G s, al,
OF everlasting freedom from my thraIl,
And wash me white, and this crushd spirit heal?
Then will meeky bear these lingering pains.
And suffer scorn, and be by man opprest,
If at the grave may put off these chains,
And thou wilt take me where the weary rest!

TO say to the public, that whatever

that Gordon was the seventh man he had
