From the Christian Messenger.
The New Chargs-lhe New Preacher.

The meeting of each Annual Conference.
excltes an interest both among our preachers
and people, in view CT the important charges
that in connection with our sys EN-, must in
evitably occur. Many OF our charges are
expecting a new pastor, and many OF our
preachers must take new fields Of labor
There are some things unpleasant in connec-
ton with these changes, but there is e nu'
tual understanding on the part Of both preach
ers aud people,, that they arc inevitable, and
hence preparations are made 10 meet them.
Our system has been thoroughly tested in
its practical operations, and all arc compelled
to concede that it works well, and 50 marked
has been the success, that none can question
the reality Of the Divine approval and if
there be trials connected with it, they should
be cheerfuIIy endured for Jesus sake. Before
our next issue, the preachers of the Vermont
Conferences will be upon their way to their
fields of labor for another Conference year.
They 90 to their work, not kno .ing what III
the providence Of God may await them, hav-
ing not few anxious cares il regard TO the
results. Each preacher should pray that Lo
may be sent to the place where it is the pleas
urc Of the Lord that he should labor-to the
place " here he can do the most for the glory
Of God, and the salvation If souls. There
is an approp' late place for each minister,
called OF God to this work, and it is a matter
of great moment that each should have the
place to which be is best adapted. In con-
ncction with this desire to be divi ely direct.
ed, each miniHcr should 60 to his charge per-
suaded that his sincere prayer has rot been
offered in vain, and that God will be with him
to own and bless his labors The preacher
should go to his appointment resolved upon
doing the work of Gcd, whether the people
precapiate bis labogs or not. 1t is pleasant
to meet with the favor of the people, and rich
ly share in Their sympathy and support, but
we buy this at too dear a price, if to obtain
| it, VIC do vio!ence to conscience or the stern
demand of religious principle and truth
Let US all 20 to our work for the next Con-
ference year, fully resolved on the blessing of
God in the prosperity Of his cause. 1t is our
duty and privilege to know that our labor is
not in vain in the Lord We may do all
things through Christ strengthening US, and
VIC are not called upon to 60 to this work in
our own strength. 60 to the people of your

In silence and unrest.

ill earth was hushed to sleep,

Their holy watch 10 keep
The evening sky seems bending low
In sympathy and love,
And softly o'er my aching brow,
Tie dcws fall from above.

This holy calm on earth and air
That ushers III the night.

The throhs of human will,

We cannot see its blessed power,
Yet feel it everywhere. NELLIE.

The DEPoT HOUSE, This is the name OF
new Hotel, just opened at the junction Of
the Burlington and Keokuk roads, by P. G..
Ballingall. The house is not entirely COM
pleted, but will be in few days, when it
will rank with the largest and best public
house in this city. There are in it numerous
sleeping rooms, large dining room, ca
pacious and pleasant Office, and the largest
stove and range for the cooking department
in all creation. The establishment when
completed, will bear some resemblance to the
Depot House at Galesburg. The situation
is fine one for large class of business,
travellers waiting for the cars, .Drovers, and
teamsters after goods. As an Eating House
it will be convenience to travellers. The
Ticket Offices of both roads are to be re
moved to the Depot House, we understand.
