Ed. ReQtster-Again we make an effort to
give you few items from this point. Health,
with the exception of a few cases of well de-
yeloped chills, is reasonably good. Sunday,
owing to the vast amount of rain, there was
no Sabbath School at the above named point.
Monday, 14th inst, we were edited by
very pleasant interview with Rev. Z. L. For
tune, of Washington county. Mr.. Fortune
was, accompanied by his exceptionally in
teresting wife, on his way to his home. Sun
day, 5th inst, Mr.. Fortune delivered a very
eloquent sermon to large and Intelligent
audience at Black. Mr.. Fortune, in his dis
course, showed very clearly-as we nave long
believed-that our very characters are large
lv the result of impression formed during
childhood.
We know, as a scientific fact, that force-a
gift from Gods never destroyed. The
mind, being material, is moved by force.
VIII 1t is that force by which it is moved? 1t
is nothing more nor less than the impress
sions formed ON the mind and character
during every day of our existence. How
infinitely great, then, is, or at least should
be, the responsibility of parent, teachers and
| others. If we form, on the character OF an
individual, an impression for good, or evil
that Impressions fOrce-will never cease TO
have its effect; they will determine largely
| the future destiny of ages to come. II the
impressions formed on others, ceased their
effects at our death, the responsibility would
then be very great; but at death they have
only begun their effect-effect as an indie
structible force.

A correspondent of the Herald noticed an
article of ours, in the Outlook, written on
the subject of 1.-THE Mind" We will assure
him that the thoughts contained in the said
article were ours; and, that had his mind
been taken as a standpoint, an article OF four
or five lines would have expressed all per-
tanning to it.
