doings:
For several days after our public
deliberations had closed, Iscontinusd IL
be occupied from morning TO night with
the missionaries and colporteurs. ltwas
at one Of these interesting meetings in
my own hired house, when ,hir,y-sixi Of
the missionaries ppd colporteurs were
presen, aud ready to depart on the NOR;
row, that, all at, once, our beloved bro
ther Bollzmann stepped into the midst
of us. He had heen liberated on the
preceding evening. travelled all night.
and lust reached US in time TO meet with
so many of his fellow-laburers. 1need
not describe the unspeakable joy which
filed every heart, as we saw this faith-
ful witness of Jesus, aud as we pressed,
him to our bosoms. For twenty-five
weeks he had been immured within the
prison walls of Burkeburg. Blessed be
the Lord for the grace bestowed on his
servant during this time, enabling him
to prove faithful 10 his Master, bis word
and his own conscience.
IL must not iorgetto state how much
tile hearts and hands Of the brethren
have been Strengthened, when | stated
that $4,000 would be applied to the

10 the world, aud 10 this intelligent COM
munity particularly, to see them, that they
may duly appreciate the obligations they
arc under to this wonderful benelactor of

says that Homeopathy implies law Of
itself, and that can be substantiated BY
practical results, and BY all the authors in

thou art jewel. Messrs. Editors, if these
laws were so well known 10 Galen andall
the authors in alopathy from him TO this
time, what becomes Of the claim Of i'm
mortal Hahnemann to originality and dis
covery! Gentlemen, you can no doubt
reconcile these seeming contradictions, as
they are more easy than several others
you have 10 Contend with in this beautiful
and harmonious system. &
Messrs Editors, what does A. C., Miller,
NJ. D., M. A. l. H., mean in his last COM
munication, when he refers to impondera-
BILE substances or agencies! 1t must be
The same thing referred to by Hahnemann
in giving directions 10 prepare his dilu-
tions, whore he cautions US not to shake
the vial more than three times, lest we
exalt its spirituality loo far and thus make
it too active. And again, in compounding
in the mortar, he makes use of the same
precaulion, tells the operator not to make
use OF too much force with the peslle,
lest he should give too much energy TO
the medicine. 1t must be to this wonder
ful principle he refers. ..
Messrs. Editors, ! have said thus much
10 vindicate Allopathy from the foul as

D. intended 10 have said some things
onthe sublime and immortal doctrines Of

where religion issweetly exemplltied, even

writer has designated home, "heaven's fallen
sister," and melancholy truth lies shIonded
in those few words. Our home influence Is
not passing but an abiding one; and all
powerful for good or evil for peace or strife,
ior happiness or misery. Each separate
Christian home has been likened to a central
sun, around which revolves happy and uni

thinking, rejoicing, and sorrowing together.
