Rev. DE-. Hartwel, a returned missionary
from China, preached at the Baptist Church
on Tuesday evening. The sacred ediRce was
filed with large and attentive congregation.
The subject of the sermon was fellowship with
Christ. After stating and dwelling upon thu,
virtues essential to the enjoyment Of this fel-
lowship, DR.. Hartwell concluded with an an
nouncement Of, and enlargement upon, anoth-
er indispensable requisite, viz: Our dutyto
do all in ourpowet tolfadvance tie Kingdom
Of Christ throughout the world. This gave
him an opportunity of speaking Of mission
work In foreign lands, especially, in China,
where he had labored with great devotion for
many years. He told of the great and good
work that had been accomplished in the con-
version Of heather in that benighted land.
His heart, he said, had often been saddened
to the genuineness of heather conversions.
These conversions were, he said, as genuine as
those Of the unconverted in this land. His
own eyes had witnessed such evidences Of di-
vine grace in the hearts of converted heath
ems as the divine Spirit alone was capable of
producing. Missionary effort had been at
tended with blessed results, for in proportion
to the means employed, a greater number of
conversions, he said, had been effected in Chi
ma and other foreign fields, than in civilized
countries He closed his, interesting sermon
by, urging his hearers to contributeto to the mis-
sionary fund. During the singing of hymn
a collection was taken UP in, behalf of the
good cause. Before concluding the services,
DR.. Hartwen read one of the parallels and
sang the long metre doxOlogy in the Chinese
language. y blluj.,, as,g yi-i. s,f,nffie, a.,

to be SO depressed at this season OF the year.
