ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

NJ. l.. l., Scio, writes as follows: al
have seen so many accounts of your
Sunday evening lectures that 1 am al
most wild with eagerness to attend
them. But 1 live away up here in the
fern and timber, where my soul starves
for intellectual food. If you would have
one of your lectures printed every week
i'm the NEW NORTHWEST it would be
great inducement to the people to sub
scribe" Perhaps you would feel, If you
should hear or read the lectures, that
they were not worth the interest you
take in them but, be that as it may,
we are very anxious that you should
hear. We will employ short hand
writer to report them for publication as
soon as we can afford the expense
Thanks for subscriber and good wishes.
These cheering remembrances are spe-
cial lights to guide us through the
gloom of financial perplexity. If every
friend would send us one new yearly
subscriber, we should feel our load so
lightened that we could work much
more advantageouslyt than now.
a. b. p, Portland, writes: "Walking
ten miles through the rain, few Sun
day evenings since, to hear you lecture
on The Future Life and being COM
PEELED to sit in wet clothes, so deaf as
to scarcely hear a single word, was not
very pleasant i'm itself, but it paid, and
paid well, after all, for saw you speak
and heard the murmur of your words,
which certainly was very pleasant to
those who had ears to hear. In CONVEX
sation afterwards with some of these L
gathered some general ideas, such as
she handled the subject well,' etc.
suppose you read from the Bible or Tes-
lament, as l gathered the words Born
ofthe Spirit and 'Understandest thounot
these things% How 1 should like to
know every word you uttered; but 1
must be content without" Dear friend,
when you come out again to the lee
tures, special arrangement shall be
made by which you shall be near the
speaker. Your poem is accepted and
will appear in its turn. You are a gen.
ius in your way.
r. f. L., Sacramento, writes: 'AGy
wife is highly pleased with your paper,
and says 1 could not have given her a
more valuable Christmas present" We
concur in her judgment, sir. The NEW
NORTHWEST is one of the most accepta-
ble presents that can be given to any
sensible woman. Let all our friends re-
member this.
J. w. j., Eugene, Oregon, writes:
''Times are very dull, mud plenty, blues
lots, humanity making slow progress.
But under all adversely we like to see
the NEW NORTHWEST come around
weekly, pleading justice to ALL" Thank
