Bishop Disney, OF the British NJ. j
Church, (cuIorrd,) Dominion of Canada,
has issued II pastoral address, designating

where ii is permanently Wet, econ IN tlmcS

1t IS said that the Chinaman is incapa-
BILE Of civilization. Facts disprove this AS

1T. A. +. NJ" writes to the London
Times: " Professor Tyndall has fallen into
IL not uncommon error. Quoting the song
of the herald angels, Glory 10 God in the

men OF God good pleasure-i. c., among
the elect people of God. Those who have
read their Bibles should know that the
promise of the Gospel is not peace but Il
sword. "
