WAYsIpE SEED SowING.-Fifty-four
wears ago the American Sundays School
Union began work in destitute neigh
borhood of western Virginia. Four
members of that Sunday school of 1924
are still living. One of them is spend
ing his "old days" in distributing books,
tracts, papers, &c, among the poor and
destitute families, both white and color
ed. On foot he travels over district
forty-fve miles wide, stretching along
both sides of the Potomac. He re-
ceives no pay for his work save bis
board (mostly corn bread), and often
sleeps on the floor. Most Of the chill
dren can read, and they apply eagerly
for papers. They often frame the pie
lures with rye straw and hang them on
the walls of their cabins. Thus the
gospel of Christ finds its way to some
who rarely, if ever, hear preaching.
How much good might be done if
Christians everywhere would initiate
John Hoffman in gathering up religious
papers, and distributing them among
those who have none, instead of casting
them into the waste basket or into the

NAL TO BE CoNvERTED INTO A MoNoPo-
LY.-It has been suggested that the
Legislature of Maryland shall declare the
G. d o. Canal common carrier, there
by changing it from a common high
way, which it is, and ought so to re-
man, for such was its original design F.;
individual enterprise will always stmu-
late competition, which is the best reg
ulator OF trade and commerce.
To make the canal common carrier
is an entire perversion of the design of
its projectors, and will in all probability
result in detriment to public interest,
because it paves the way to combina-
ton and a monopoly
Virginia aided the canal in her terri
bic struggle for completion to the coal
fields; We as part of her directly in
terested, put in our most emphatic pro-
test against any such scheme.
We hope the people along the line OF
the canal from Georgetown to the noun
tain, will see to it that their highway is
not tilched from them.

s@ Rev. J. p. STRIDER.-The fol-
lowing complimentary article we copy
from the Fredericksburg, Va, News,
of February 18th. The Rev. gentle
man SO highly complimen!ed is son
of our esteemed county-man, John Il.
Strider, Esq, OF Haltown, and it gives
us pleasure to give publicity to the well
deserved notice from the pen of the
editor Of the .Ners:-
Rev. J. z. Strider, of Culpeper, has
been preaching series of Sermons OF
unusual excellence and interest in the
Presbyterian Church in this place dur.
ing the past week. With only brief
experience in the Gospel ministry, he
possesses spiritual insight deep and
clear, and AN intellectual power, vivid,
earnest, ardent and convincing. In
teDsily of belief calmness ofarguments,
beauty of illustration, combined with
the eloquence Of truth. Universities OF
gifts, but the same Spirit" 1t is rare
to find an intellect endowed alike with
that wondrous faculty of the human
mind, the highest, because it enables
thought to create, and at the same time
a comprehensive capacity of practical
presentation, startling in its clear, strong,
honest realization. From the opening
discourse of Wednesday night, 1.-The
entrance OF Thy word giveth light" to
the closing invitation of Sunday night,
"Come unto Me, all We that labour and
are heavy laden" the Gospel, in its
fnllness, its might, its sutficiency, its
blessing, the Cross, which gave the
Gospel to the world, the high theme of
all pulpit ministration, came home to
listening hearts with new power, an
added beauty and deeper grace. The
Sermon of Sunday morning, from Cor
l: ls,-For the preaching Of the cross
is to them that perish, foolishness; but
unto us which are saved, it is the power
of God-was magnificent arrangement
of the human intellect 10 its vain at
tempt to satisfy the soul of man, which
can only find its true and lasting spiritual
peace by faith in Christ.
