| A large congregation assembled at n'gnt
TO hear the annual sermon, when was > ue-
liyercd BY Rev. J. 7. Boyce, u; ", from
the first Epistle Of Peter, fourth chapler
and eighth verse "And above all Things
have fervent charity among yourselves, lot
!. charity shall cover the multitude OF slnS''
The speaker said this epistle OF Peter was
written for the Jews who were scattered
abroad-at a time when persecution had
already arisen, and the heavy calamities
| connected with the destruction Of Jeru-
salem were about to be experienced. I'm
der such circumstances the apostle called
their attention to the manner in which
Christ had endured evil, and pointed him
out as an example. He used the text with
especial reference to the fall of Jerusalem.
| Its language suggests that he recOlleCted
| the last night before Christ's trial and
crucitiXiOn. As he and the others with
| him were then warned to watch and pray,
so in the preceding verse he warns those
| to whom he wrote TO be sober, and TO
watch unto prayer. And as on that oCca-
sion he had especially needed charity
! from his brethren when he denied Christ,
so he teaches them the lesson of the text.
Attention was called to the fact that the
! spirit Of consciousness was everywhere
condemned in the Scriptures and its oppO-
! site had been especially shown in the deal
| ing of Christ with Judas.
The nature of Scripture charity was
then explained, and the duty of charitable
construction of the acts OF others enjOincd.
Because no one can judge OF the actions,
the motives, and the temptations Of others.
! That which makes one man to differ from
another comes from God only. Neither is
any one an infallible Judge for himself,
much less for others. ChriSt'S whole life
was a standing protest on this subject.
These considerations, which ought topre-
vail at all times, are especially operative
! in times of great trial. The trouble which
/ then arises makes men more censOriOus !;
and yet at such times it is more difficult
than at others to judge of duty either for
ourselves or others. Besides, at such times
I Christians should be brought nearer each
other, and should learn more closely to
initiate Christ, whose life and character
are the embodiment of true charity.

Planting Trees on Prairies.

p. The Congress is turning It's attention to
planting trees on the extensive prairies OF
the west. A bill is on hand for this purpose,
setting apart ten thousand acres of land for
an experiment. The land is TO be ploughed
up and planted with not less than forty
millions OF trees of various kinds, including
exotics. II is said that the measure will
involve no outlay of money; but we i'm
agine somebody will snake good thing
out of it :" the more especially as the en-
terprise is entrusted to the "Ottowa
Indian University" very pious and po-
litico-orthodox institution, with some free
m-shrieking professors.
1t is assumed, no doubt correctly, that
there is no incompatibility between the
soil and the trees TO prevent their growth !;
and that the entire absence of trees Is
attributable to the fires which the Indians
for ages have annually lighted, destroying
every vestige of tree or shrub wherever it
spread. The great fertility OF the soil
covered the land with the rankest growth
Of grass and weeds, which, when dry and
fred. evolved an amount of flame and heat
which nothing could withstand. This being
the cause of the absence of trees, If again
planted and protected from the fires, it is
plain that they will grow and flourish. We
have no doubt that the meek professors OF
Ottowa University will make trees, and
make money too; which latter is very
good thing in itself, and not at all disagree
able to the most selfdenying of modern
philanthropists.
Approving very heartily the considera-
ton of Congress for trees, and having no
apprehension that the Ottowa professors
will not confer national benefit by cult
waiting trees, no matter how much they
make themselves, we cannot but remark
upon the fact that while Congress seems
disposed to spend indirectly immense sums
to make trees grow where there are none
now, it, on the other hand, appears to be
laboring as devotedly to root out and de-
