preceded it no less delightful held last
month at St. Louis, Mo. Mr.. A. Hale

cal pastors oflhe city were Vice Presi-
dents. Between 80 and 40 colporteurs
were present, They were found among
different denominations as follows: 2
Congregs,ionalisls, s Presbyterians Old
sc, 5 afE,piscapsl hsi1hodis's, a11 : RsIo,mvd
Dutch Lutheran, l German Reform,
l Freewil Baptist. The meetings were
charac,srizedby great simplicity aud at
times great tenderness, and strong emo
ton. The value aud adaptation ofcol-
portage to the Western States was strl-
kingIy demonstrated. Sumo Of the col.
porteufs and agents have been pioneers
in se,teling them. The facts gathered
up showed there were innumerable set
Elements along the rivers and over the
praries where but for colpor,age, there
would have been an absolute destitution
Of the means of grace. The German
emigrant interest and the value of Ger
man colportage were brought out in a
striking manner. Thirteen of the col
portuers present were Germans. Their
representations of the extent and charac-
ter Of emigration to the Western States
were startling. and demonstrate the me-
cessily otrapidly extending this and 9th
er evangelical agencies in these great
States. German colpoltage has been
greatly blessed.
