uBaptlze the Whole Army.~

We have already referred 70 the religious
faith of the General who added SO much
lustre to the English army, during the war
in India. The following auecdote was rela-
ted by Rev. MIR. Graham, of Boun, at a
meeting of the Hiberian Bible Society in
Belfast:
Gle had to tell them that General Have
lock who is now SO distinguished in India,
although Baptist was member of his
(Mr Graham's) missionary church at Boun,
and his wife and daughters were members
of II for seven years. He could also narrate
an anecdote regarding that greet and good
man, which he had heard from the lips
of Lady Havelock. When General Have.
lock, as colonel of his regiment, was travel
ing through India, he always took with him
Bethel tent, in which he preached the
gospel aud when Sunday came in India he
usually hoisted the Bethel flag, and invited
all men to come aud hear the gospel-in
fact, he baptized some. He was reported
for this at Headquarters, for acting in nom
military and disorderly manner; and the
Commander-in-C Chief, General Lord Cough,
entertained the charge, but with the true
spirit of generous military man, he caused
the state of Gen. Havelock's regiment to be
examined. He caused the reports of the
moral state of the various regiments to be
read for some time back, and he found that
Col. Havelock's stood at the head ofthe list;
there was less fogging, less Imprisonment,
less drunkenness in it than in any other.---
When that was done the Commanderin-
Chief said tGo and tell Col. Havelock, with
my compliments to baptize the whole ar

A GOOD EDUCATION.

There is much good sense in The article
quoted below which We find without credit
in one Of our exchanges. The conversation
OF adults inlhe presenceof children has much
influence upon the latter in school, sometimes
exercising most baneful and destructive in-
fuencs. We often hear OF adults boasting Of
certain smart mischievous acts of their school
days, in the presence of children, who are
apt to take it for granted that it is something
worthy TO be boasted of. For the most part
these smart things are coined fabrcations-
not word of truth in lhem--yet they may
influence child hearing them 10 acousse
OF action which win do a life long injury
Such foIlies should be corrected, and every
sensible person should rebnke them when
ever opportunity offers. Blu, read the follow
ing -
'Parents generally are desrous Of scouting
for their children what they call good edu-
cation. This is commendable manifesto
tion Of parental affection. II still would be
more SO, however, If The motive urging them
10 provide good education for their children
wers somewhat more elevated than they usu.

sought, merely chiefly as stepping-slone to

more commendable nature than this. Need

II is this Parents in desiring good edu-
cation for their children too commonly in
