tenoes Dr. Shedd remarked that in the beginning
Adam gave names TO every beast Of the field and
fowl OF the air. These must have been
expressive OF their character and internal disposition,
else he would not have been commanded by God TO
invent a nome nclature for the animal Kingdom God
by Adam, but self-imposed. To Moses He said "rhou

AMBITION IN both CONDITIONS
Paul was just as ambitious after his conversion as
before. Love Of company, wealth and love OF knowl
edge remains, but 10 purified and elevated. The
power TO eectuate this change Is not In man, nor OF
is not IN the Church, nor OF the Church, but
super natural importation. In illustration OF these
principles the reverend doctor referred to the con-
version OF Jacob Ut the brook Jabok; that OF the
taller in Philppi Luther Erfurth. He thee pro-

VOLCANIC PHENoMENA.-Wc can form some
idea of the wonderful changes this planet has
undergone through commissions of nature, in
dim ages past, by those that occur So to speak
under our very eyes. The captain of a GER
man steamer, lately arrived at Hong Kong,
witnessed an extraordinary phenomenon in
the South Pacific, longitude $50 east, and lat
ltude south. He found all the northeastern
coasts of the Island of New Britain covered
with thick smoke, and had great trouble to
pass the strait separating il from New Ireland
on account OF fields of pUmice, which covered
the sea 10 the depth of four or five feet. After
considerable delay. he reached Makada, one of
the Duke of York Islands, and discovered that
three craterS had opened on a peninsula
formed by the Island of New Britain, and that
continuous streams of lava We're issuing
thence. A great rise took place in White bay,
and new island. nearly a mile long, abruptly
appeared. The bay for several days was very
hot, and large numbers of fish and turtles were
thrown on shore, and devoured by the natives,
nearly famiShed from the extraordinary dry
ness of the season. 1t is probable that m any
other phenomena occurred thereabuu thou Ii
they were undesirable in consequence OF the
immense quantities of pumice The new vol
canic island, being evidently warm, would be
good place for James Z. Anderson. Bat it
may not be SO warm place as he would like,
Or as he deserves.
