Six Alllion Dollars fUrA heathen.
During this century there has been
unprecedented effort to extend both
civilization and christianity. With
Russia, England and France operat-
ing upon Europe, Asia and Africa
and Mahomedan and Confusian in
situations, great progress was to have
been expected but vast as have been
the agencies at work, the result has
been comparatively Insignificant. The
United States, without either estab-
lishment Or army, has added as much
to the civilized and christian res of
of the world as all other nations. To
impart some idea of what has been
undertaken, the astounding infofma-
ton reaches US from Chatauqua, that
Sc, 900, 900 are annually contributed
by christeniom for the conversion of
each heather in the world. II this
statement be true, the church is at
present, as in the days of Christ, less
skillful in its use of mammon than
the children of darkness, and chris
tan ladies and gentlemen ought to
begin to consider whether the socie-
ties created by them are making the
best possible use of the money en-
trusted to them.
As a les Of grace, at all times
and in all places, money, though re-
garded extensively as an irresistible
and universal panacea, has been of
small account. Centuries ago Peter
said of it: "Thy money perish with
thee because thou hast thought that
the gift OF God might be purchased"
And yet, much of what seems from
the statement made, to be uselessly
squandered abroad might be advan-
tageously used at home. Even in
this favored country there are regions
without either churches and school
houses, or ministers or teachers prop
erly provided for. Perhaps, however,
upon Investigation it will be found
that the most of this per CAPITA is
consumed in Christendom, not so
much in promulgating the Gospel
as in establishing and maintaining
agencies that are of little practical
effect. If some of the money thus
lavished were expended among the
pioneers Of this country; if frontier
churches and school houses were
erected, and contributions made for
the support of ministers and teachers,
OF If only the condition of the suffer
ing poor in our large cities were
alleviated, would not the sheaf gath,
cred in return be far larger?
Six millions of dollars for a heather
isa matter for profound and solemn
thought /; but if some n would make
an estimate of how much is annually
contributed towards the conversion
OF eacu peuiguVDu
lands might not PRONUNCIATION of the
result arrived at be equally edifying

THE BANKS.

The usual annual convention of
national and other bankers is in prog.
ress at Niagara. It is anticipated that
the needs of domestic commerce will
receive attention. The great pro-
moters Of industry are money, cheap
exchange, quick communication and
economical and rapid transport, all
of which will be separately and fully
discussed !; but the main questions, in
all probability, will be the reduction
OF bank taxes, the refunding of the
national Indebtedness, and the secu-
rites hereafter to be given for bank
paper. The tendency to consolida-
ton was never greater than at pres.
ent, and there will no doubt be de.
cided advocacy of the corporate and

tntions. Greater preparations for
meeting than usual have been made,
