THE ENGLISH in Afghanistan seem to
have gotten an ugly job on their hands.
A new element seems to have entered
into the conflict. There is a prospect
now that they viii have to encounter
Mussulman fanaticism, and deal with
Holy War. They have, imprudently it
is said, put to death several Of the At
CHAN Moollahs or ecclesiastical Judges, and
this has awakened a very deep feeling,
The London Spectator says, that if the
fanatic feeling has really been excited,
it will take 10000 Europeans to garrison
the country, and 10000 more to hold
down the Nizam domiuions. "Wehope, -
it remarks, for better things, but if the
Afghans, for any reason, now mean fight
ing, the entire situation is changed, and
we have a most serious war on our hands. "
The London Times counsels a retreat,
and says: We can now retire from AT
ghanistan with honor and with safety.
By and by the choice may not be open
to us.
Since the above was written the news
has come Of a great victory gained by
Gen. Roberts over the Afghans, and the
re-occupation of Cabul; but as the British
lost only five killed, we cannot believe
that there was much fighting.

AT the beginning. of the new year, let
US urge upon parents and others the i'm
portance of extending the circulation
among our children of The Earnest
Worker and THE CbiLdrens Friend Let
us. circulate our own publications. There
are other Sunday School papers which
are excellent, especially those of the Pres
byterian Board in Philadelphia; but we
must sustain and strengthen our own. 1t
is pre-eminently important to ground the
children in sound doctrinal views. The
Ssrday School Times is very interesting,
but it is not always sound, and so of some
others. But when anything issues from
the Publication Committee here in Rich
mond, we know it is all right.

THE LESSON QUARTERLY. First Quarter 1880.
Published for the Committee of Publication by
Whittet & Shepperson, Richmond, Va Ed
ted by Rev. James X. Hazen, D. D., Rich
mond, Va. 20 cents per annum to single
subscribers, and 10 cents to clubs of FIVE or
more.
The above Quarterly which is now part of
the series Of Sabbath School papers published by
the Committee of Publication, is not designed to
take the place of the Earnest Yorker as a help
in the study of the Bible lessons, but to furnish
in more convenient form the lesson papers,
which in the single leaf as hitherto issued were
too easily lost. Bible Dictionary for the
Quarter, map of Palestine, and suitable hymns
for each lesson are added. The whole forms a
neat pamphlet of the size of the Earnest Worker.
We now have published under the authority
Of Our own Church very complete series OF Les
son helps and Sabbath School papers, which are
equal in all respects to the best published, and
worthy of the full support of our people.

name is under some post-office on our list,
but which? Why can't people, writing
to US, give US their post-ofices, and write
their names legibly? We find it too
great tax to carry in our minds the
names and homes of all our subscribers.
