Annual Invitation for the
w eek of United and Uni
versal Prayer at the com
mencement Of the year.
JANUARY 4-11, 1885.
BELOVED BRETHREN IN CHRIST,

Once again the season of united prayer
returnS-a season dear to our hearts, and
rich in blessed memories. The encourage
ments to prayer are innumerable. Precept
and promise, instinct and experience, reve-
latiOn and history all combine to enforce
the duty. WhOSOeUer will can come and
ask and aChGtS0ger we ask in Christ'S name
He will give. Never was invitation more
free or promise more .fuH. Without there
is an open door, and within there is eX-
hauStless grace. Very earnestly, there
fore, and lovingly we invite you to join in
prayer at the beginning of lo85-that in
one spirit, and through one Mediator, we
may all ave access to the Father.
The times are perilOus and trying. Indi-
vidual Christian life has manifold tempta-
~tions; society is agitated to it's depths
the struggle of great principles is at hand;
and on all sides we see wide openings for
usefulness, and hear loud calls for light
and truth. Amid these troubles and hopes,
prayer, like love, is an ever-incumbert
duty duke xviii. l, Rom. xiii. 1S) always
binding, never completed. 1t is the begin
ming OF everything good our resource i'll

power with God, even when offered by one
righteous man; how much more when
with one heart we agree concerning the
things we ask, and plead with God for q
united and waiting Church, and for a
world that still lies in unrest and in sin.
To secure this unity and intensity of de-
sire, we respectfully lay before you sugges-
tions which may properly guide your
thoughts and petitions. They are not in
tended to supersede the individual sense of
need still less to interfere with the prompt
ings of the Advocate within-the Spirit of
grace and supplication. Use them, as you
find them helpful and we shall have the
assurance that, even with diversities of
ministration, it is the same Spirit who
worketh all in all.
Nor let us forget to cultivate a grateful
joyous spirit. With thanksgivings are our
prayers to be presented. The joy of the
Lord is our strength. IF We are followers
of our Master in faith and love and prayer,

A few weeks ago saturday |otn Dec.)
we e~ndeavoured to point out the bright
spots in the very cloudy sky that over
hangs st. CrOiX in common with all the
West Indian islands at the present time.
There is no need that we should now, Ill
looking at the prospects for 1885, repeat
what was there said. AS far as weather
is concerned we ought to be we'll satisfied,
for the closing days of the old year gave us
bountiful showers greatly in favour OF the
rather backward, though promising, crop.
1t is the question of prices only that alarms.
Ifthese. are to remain as at present, sugar
in Santa Cruz will be worth less than 50
per 100 lbs. Danish. and the question is
anxiously asked, Will there be any inn
prOvement before crop commences, OF at
any rate before sugar is ready for ship
ment? One circumstance which should
be co nsidered in attempting an answer to
this question is that the beet root Sowings
for next crop will in all probability be
greatly reduced. AS those AXE place III
February it will probably be known i'll
March what the farmers have done, and
should it then he found that the area under
beets is greatly reduced, We may expect a
rise in price, a rise which will become
greater and greater as the excess in stocks
is lowered. This is what we may hope for,
but, on the other hand, we must not con
ceal from ourselves that farming in Europe
is greatly depressed at present by the
competition of the ''great North West"
which has made it almost impossible to
grow wheat on ordinary farms; and the
farmers, rather than go back to wheat,
may be tempted to accept a much lower
price, for their beets than they have
hitherto obtained. Neither must we forget
that under the most favourable suppose
ton, namely that there is a considerable
rise in prices towards the close of the crop,
there will, on that very account, speedily
be an increased area soon in beet, so that,
apart from accident, it is scarcely likely
that sugar will ever again bring what are
considered in the West Indies as "goOd
PR VS." 1t is possible therefore that
towards the end of the crop in 1885 and
throughout 1886 sugar may bring fair, or
perhaps even good, prices but ON the
whole planters must be prepared to pro-
duce sugar at a price which hitherto they
would have considered low. This is not
a brilliant prospect, but with the economy
and small improvements that will be
forced upon growers it may become an
%endurable one, and then there is always
Micawber's hope that something will
turn up", some brilliant discovery or some
great success of an experimental, say of
Mr.. Eckman while in Demerara for
instance, which may turn the tables COM
Pletely aud make Of the West Indies an
EldOrado once more. On the whole it must
be admitted that hope has a prominent
part to play just now among West Indian
virtues, a very useful part so long as the
harder virtues of diligence and self-denial
are not allowed to be outstripped in the
race.

Fort de France, the capital of Martinique,
is likely to be the first West Indian town
lighted by the electric light. The Momite@r
de Ia Martinique informs us that the NUM-
cipality has entered into a contract with
a civil engineer, giving him a monopoly of
electric lighting in Fort de France for
thirty years, in return for which he
guarantees to furnish the public with a
definite amount of light for "a fixed annual
sum, and to furnish private persons with
light at a fixed rate. The system he
intends using is the Edison, and he is to
have the whole in working order not later
than November coming. 1t is stated that
prior to 31st Dec. 1883 the Edison Com
pany had supplied %, 200 lamps in Europe
and 10000 in America.
Another system of electric lighting-the
,, Brush"-has been adopted at the sugar
works of a Demerara estate, Anna

that all officers above the rlnk of clerk
