There is an eloquence in gody life, peIore
which even atheism and inhdelity have often
been made to quail Hence it has been said
that no man can be truly eloquent without piety.
The world, wicked rs il is will feel 4 veneration
for a piOus man. Such man, and such alone,
can do much in the cause of Christ. Brother"
says MIR. Page in letter to u young convert,
when you meet with an impenitent sinner, don't
merely say, calmly, Friend, you are in DANGER
but approach him with n holy violence and labor
to 'pull him ont of the fire. They are going to
perdilion-herc is Heaven-tlere is he'll"
In the fourth place notice the happy results
of such individual effort.
l. 1t would result in the conversion of sinners
to God. aud thus would we save souls from death,
for God will bless diligent compliance with his
commands.
q 1t would secure the Church spiritual ad-
wanrement. Laboring for God brings its own
reward, in the reflex influence which would re-
vert to the laborer. For an effort to discharge
our duty to God, is the best commentary upon
the Scriptures. We understand Gods law in its
performance.
g. 1t would unite Christians in the sweetest
bond Of affection. They would recognize each
other as brethren, aboring in common cause,
and fo- common master-their sympaties
would be extended for each other.
"Then each would feel his brothers sigh,
And with him bear part;
Sorrow would flow from eye to eye,
And joy from heart to heart"
4. 1t would tend to purify the Church. In
active drones.cond not live in such an atmos-
phere. Those who had form of godliness only,
would be uudcccived by the faithful instructions
of the Church And She would neither be bur-
dened with nor disgraced by them.
5. 1t would tend to promote healthful and
vigorous piety, We need formative discipline,

fled to teach the young convert the way OF the
Lord more perfectly. Such would come into

would follow Then, brethen, let each of US
honor Christ by looking well to this matter.
And may God grant US grace to act we'll our
part for Christ's sake. Amen.

A CHINESE WoNDER.-EuropeaDs and Ameri-
cans are very apt to consider the Chinese as
barbarians, when compared with our own and
other Christian nations. Yet we are constantly
meeting with facts in relation to that singular
people, which put to the blush all our vain glo-
rious boastng What are our great canals when
compared with that extraordinary work of art,
the imperial Canal of China, which was built
by the Mongol Emperor, Kublai Khan, and
extends distance of more than 600 miles
Great heights are tunnelled, lakes bridged, and
slupendous cmbarkments thrown over marshes
and low ground to afford it q passage. Unlike
our canals its capacity is not limited to small
boats but large ships sail upon its waters, which
arc filled by mighty rivers, and serve not only
the purpose of s commercial highway, but are
used for the two-fold objects Of irrigation and
drainage, thus rendering available for cultivation
much land which would otherwise be useless.
This canal has been pronounced by Europeans
a gigantic work. and one displaying souad, ,prac-
tical engineering skill, and even genius in its
construction Yet it is one among many
achievements of art to be found on larger scale
in China than in any other country in the world.

The following preamble nnd Resolutions were
adopted at the meeting of the Young Mems Be-
nevolent Association on Saturday evening. So
Whereas, it has been reported to this Asso-
citation by member of one of the Ward Com
mittees, that Dennis Haley has forcibiy, and
without legal process, elected Mrs. Fortune,
poor widow woman with her sick child, from
tenement occupied by them, for the non-paymentz
OF rent, turning her into the streets, and endan-t
gcring the life Of the child, if not Uof the
mother; therefore ~
BE ii resolred UNANIMOUSLY by this Association,
That the conduct of said Haley, considering the
times and circumstances accompanying it, was
cruel, unchristian, unmany and inhuman and
that its author should be heldup to the execra-
lion of every member of this community.
Resolred, That the city papers be requested
to insert this preamble and resolution, accompa-
MED by such comment us the outrage demands.
We know of no language strong enough to T
denounce such depravity as that describedinthe
case above alluded to. 1t is certainly ihe most
inhuman and barbarous act we have ret heard
OF and many have come 10 our knogledge-du-
ring the trying season from which we are just
emerging. Any man who has so little of human
sympathy in him should he looked upon MS too
mean for pity and too contemplate for ,scorn.s
1t Is to be hoped that should injury result TO the
parties, said to have been elected, the offender
will not be allowed 10 go unwhipt of Justice.
The Young Mems Benevolent Association Of
Savannah have determined hereafter to distribute !
their benefactions in the shape of provisions,
medical attention and nurses, instead of money
as heretofore. They have been compelled to {
adopt this rule, in order the more effectually to
guard against fraud and imposition.
Some days ago, for example, number of one
of the Ward Committees found poor Irish GIRL
sick and in great distress A physician was
sent for, and nurse procured, and ten dollars
were left with her sister-in-law, with whom she
was living, with which TO purchase provisions.
On returning the next day, the committee man
found that the sister-in-law had spent fifty cents
of this money for medicine, and had appropria-
ted the remaining $3.50 to her own purposes, on
the ground that the sick woman owed her that
sum!
Another member of committee was asked
for money by large, robust, healthy. Irishman.
He replied that he was able to work-that there
was great demand for laborers-and that he
would find no difficulty in obtaining employment "a
still he gave him two dollars osuppy his imme-'
date wants. @And be this all ye are going to
give me :" Indignantly inquired the bnrly Irish.

the money back into the face of the donor &

CIRCULAR LETTER,

We copy the following well-written and high
ly interesting Circular Letter from the Minutes
of the Edgefrld Baptist Association. 1t is from
the accomplished pen of Rev. B. f. CoRLEY.
DEAR BRErMREN-Permit ua to address you,
in this our annual epislle, on the duty and i'm
portance of direct individual effort, Oh the part
of each member of the Church, in the conversion
Of sinners TO God
The Saviour said to his disci pies, Ye are the
salt of The EARTH" This language applies to the
Disciples, both rs Christians and as Christian
Ministers And it means that every Christian
should make his influence individually and d.
rccty felt for the salvation Of those around him.
Paul had regard to this when he said in his lei
ter 10 the Collossians, 4 s, els your speech
be always with grace, seasoned with salt" for
this will make :" the mouth of a righteous mAn
Il well of life" 1t also teaches thai every Chris
tan should exert conservative infucnce-that
their value consists in their savor-that without
this they are not only useless, but they defeat
an important design in their conversion; and
also That their situation is hopeless For, though
salt may restore unSavOry meat, what can res
tore u,lsavory salt ?'* The agency of his peo-
pie is The ordinary means by which God designs
the conversion of sinners. How did Gentle
sinners, under the Old Testament dispensation
hear of the promised Messiah, but by The agency
of those who had been instructed therein
Melchizcdek, the harlot Rallab and Jclhro, were
each made acceptable TO God. The first was
his "prest," the second was justified by
tliih," and the last waS an accepted worshipper.
How were the eastern Magi, lie Roman Centu-
rian, the Syro-P -PhGncian woman, and Cornelius
informed concerning Christ, unless by human
agency! How happened it that certain Greeks,
strangers in Jerusalem, said to Philip. Sir, We
would see Jesus 2" And how happened it That
the Ethiopian Was found reading the scriptures?
We also see the agency of Philip in the TWO last
cases. The Saviour, in view Of the faith Of n
certain few who bore an iniirn man ON their
shoulders, seeing their fah said to the sick of
The palsy, thy sins are forgiven. This idea is
perhaps more clearly tanght in Job AZ: 8, and
Mat. 5: l4-l6 Thus we see that God purposes
the conversion of sinners by The agency Of his
people Now, if this be true, it is our duty to
fill The place assigned to Us. And when we fail
to do this we commit wilful sin against God, as
ihe awgiver who devised the plan Of savaton-
against the Son, who bought his people, and
against the Holy Ghost. who not only teaches us,
but scals the saints TO the day Of their rcdemp-
ton.
Although the primitive Christians were the
salt of the earth, yet The time has now Gomez
when many seem to have lost sight of indiridual
responsibility in this respect, and therefore re-
