We hope that before the American In

that its membership may be as large as
that of the Victoria Institute and it's
publications as widely circulated. These
papers read at her monthly meetings
should be accessible to readers in every
part of the English speaking world. Few
Southern scholars are to be found among
the membership of this association, but
only because not yet thoroughly &C

The Heather Teach Us.
BY REV. u. 81. HAYES, D. D.

d 1NAS's -. u. 11A Ed, ~ ~.
In the Central OF March 18th, we read
in connection with the foreign work of
English Presbyterians in Swallow One
OF these lepers, returning to his home in
the distant interior where no living voice
had ever preached the truth, carried the
knowledge of the gospel to his native
village. The result was, that by the
time a missionary came to that village
soon afterwards, there were twenty-three
persons rejoicing in the faith and waiting
tor baptism !" All this through the in
strumentality of despised leper 1t is
not likely that he ever had college or
seminary training; yet he preached the
gospel with such success as to bring
twenty-three sinners to Christ in short
time. Are there not many Christians
among our vacant churches and in desti.
tute places who can speak for Christ
until minister can be secured? No
minister; therefore, no preaching, no
service; church shut up, members scat
tered, souls lost So it works with us
If the Church cannot supply ministers
enough, or if the vacant and destitute
places cannot get ministers regularly IL
censed, let somebody give the people the
gospel Will this be breaking of the
rules? Better so than to have our
churches perish, or than to leave souls
unsaved which may be saved if some one,
ao1th the gospel IN him, will only speak
to them. We have men who can do
good and saving work. May the leper
teach them They may develope into
90 reOnlar preacbers Who knowo 2
You, my brother, who are ways mourn
ing over the state of things-no preach
ing, etc.-may help matters if you will
Call the people together and out OF
lhrist in your heart, tell them of Christ
Can you not preach as we'll as that poor
heather leper? Try it, 1t may be that
God called you to His kingdom for such
time as this No one else comes to do
the work There seems little hope that
any one else will come No one is doing
it'll The Master sends you message by
the leper

asked the Lord that l might grow

l asked the Lord that might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace;
Might more of his salvation know,
And seek more earnestly his face.
Twas He who taught me thus to pray.
And He, trust, has answered prayer;
But it has been In such way,
As almost drove me to despair.
1 hoped that in some favored hour,
At once He'd answer my request;
And by HIS loves constraining power,
Subdue my sins, and give me rest.
Instead of this, He made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart;
And let the angry powers of hell
Assault my soul In every part.
Intent to aggravate my woe;
Crossed all the fair designs l schemed,
Blasted my gourds, and laid me low.
Lord, why is this2" treu bling cried,
wilt thou pursue my soul to death p
"'Tis in this way" the lord replied,
i answer prayer for grace and faith.
These inward trials 1 employ,
From self and pride to set thee free;
And break thy schemes of earthly Joy,
That thou mayest seek thy all in mel"

Do as little children do who, with one
hand hold fast to their father, and with
the other gather haws or blackberries
along the hedges 80 you gathering and
managing with one hand the things of
the world, must with the other Away
hold fast the hand OF your heavenly
Father, turning yourself toward him from
time to time, to see if your actions or oc-
equations be pleasing to him; but, above
all things, never let go his protecting
hand, thinking to gather more; for,
should he forsake you, you will not be
able to 20 step without falling to the
ground.
