"reminiscences of Missionary
Life in the Northwest.
BY REV. SHERMAN HALL.
No. 5.

On the 5th ofAugust. 1881, the winds
and the clouds being propitious, our
boat was loaded and we prepared to en-
bark. The mission family at Mackinaw,
and few other Christian friends as
sembled on the wharf opposite to the
mission house, to give us their benedic-
tion, and commend us and our object to
the gracious care and protection of
Providence. After religious exercises
appropriate to the occasion, cond uct ed
by Rev. w. M. Ferry, we exchanged
the parting salutation, and our little
company took our places on the boat
Our men showed off and rowed away,
and we turned our faces toward the
great wilderness, not knowing what
might befal us there. 1t was our own
chosen work; our hearts were not sad.
We longed to be engaged in it. But
we knew it was to separate us from the
friends we dearly loved, perhaps to see
them no more forever. 1t was to ex-
clude US from the society of the civil
lied, the cultivated, the refined, and
shut us up with the rude barbarian and
the untamed savage We well knew
that our work could not be accomplished
without the endurance ofmany privations
and perhaps hardships. But we had
enoeavored to count the cost. What
ever might be the result, we should have
no regrets.
In three days we reached the Saut
Ste. Marie at the foot Of Lake Superior,
about ninety miles from Mackinaw,
camping on the shore at night. This
place had long been occupied as an In
dian trading post. and the older build
ings bore the marks Of many winters -
There was here, at this time, Baptist
mission under the superintendence of
the Rev. A. Bingham, connected with
which was boarding school for In
dian and Halfbreed children, conducted
on the same general plan with that at
Mackinaw, though not as large. This
mission continued for many years after
wards to supply the inhabitants of the
place with religious instruction, and
the means of education for ther children
1t is now discontinued.
We were very kindly received by the
mission family, and remained with them
till our goods and boat were transported
by the rapids, which required some two
or three days. There was also mill
tary post at the place. having garrison
of United States troops stationed in it,
The river at the foot of the rapids is
about mile wide. The fort is on the
left bank Of the river as you ascend, and
overlooks the Canada shore on the op-
posite side. 1t has full command Of
the river at this point. We had now
reached the uttermost limit of civil
ization in this direction, if we except thai
which the Indian trader arrogated te
himself, as he sat in his log cabin sur
rounded with his Indian family, smok
ing his clay pipe. and gave bis orders

in great excitement
The rascal shall suffer for it, for he

III you never forgive said Whitfield,
quietly, Il hope you never sin, or need

in the following story:
In middle ages, when the great lords
and knights were always at war with
each other, one Of them resolved to re.
venge himself upon neignbor who had
offended him. 1t chanced that the very
evening when he had made this resolu.
ton, he heard that his enemy was to pass
near his castle with only few men with
him. 1t was good opportunity to take
his revenge, and he determined not to let
1t pass. lie spoke Of this plan in the
presence Of bis chaplain, who tried in
vain to persuade him TO give it up. The
good man said great deal to the duke
about the sin Of what he was going 70
do, but in vain. AT length seeing ali bis
words had no effect, he said
My lord, since Cannot persuade YOU
to give up this plan Of yours, will you a,
least consent to come with me to the
chapel that we may pray together before
you go
The duke consented, and the chaplain
and he knelt together in prayer. Then
the mercy'loving Christian said to the re-.
vengefuI warrior:
'NiIl you repeat after me, sentence by
sentence, the prayer which our 3ord Jesus
Christ Himself taught to His decipies 2
i will do it, replied the duke.
III did it accordingly. The chaplain
read sentence and the duke repeated

chaplain. 'Will you be 80 good as to re.

leading to the bakehouse, lie heard a
voice saying, LorG, help me to serve
thee! Lord, keep me faithful Lord, make
me good preacher 2
The voice was Alexis and when the
preacher reached the bakehouse he found
the lad with his shirt sleeves rolled up to
his shoulders, kneading down with ali his
might, and praying as earnestly as he
was working. No doubt he was greatly
pleased TO find the youthful preacher so
we'll employed. No doubt that he felt
that the appointment which he wanted
AIick TO fill would be well supplied.
The Lord soon called Alick from the
bakehouse to the pulpit, from which he
fed thousands Of hungry souls with the
bread of life. The young man carried the
working Of praying spirit which be had
in the workshop into the ministry. The
result WAS that God made him useful
and honorable man, for our Alick was no

Evils of Mental Precocity.

The following paragraph from DR.. w.
A. Cornell's late work, entitled How 10
Enjoy Life presents a subject which
should be we'll understood by parents
and teachers Of precocious children.
The premature development Of mind
aud neglect Of body, have long been
prominent evils in our educational sys.
tenn il is often very pleasant to fond
parents to see how bright, intelligent and
witty their children are, and they often
find great satisfaction in showing TO 9th
ers the briliancy and mental sprightIiness
Of their precoeious darlings. Such paretts
know not what they are doing. All the
praise Isvished by such parental folly,
and fond aunts, and dotiog grandparents
and injudicious friends, tends to the seri.
Gus injury and almost certain destruction
Of their children. The keen flashes and
sparkling witticisms are but the indics
tions Of an overs,retched mind, and q
neglected body. Our many systems Of
education thus destroy many children
every year This neglect Of the physical,
and stimulating the mental man, is the
more to be depIored, from the fact that
ths early precocity is wholly unnecessary,
becsuse many Of the best sducated and
usefpl men the world has ever seen, we're
very dull pupils in early childhood. An
