condescend TO the heather level without
becoming a heather. He must preach with
power and sympathy and do works of
CHARITY Wherever needed. The heather
should be not only converted but educated.
The adults should be converted and then
educated, and the children should be edu-
Gated first and then converted. The
heather should be taught industries to
keep them from becoming paupers. They
should be encouraged in pure social en-
Joyments. Many were reached by their
digestive organs. The laws of the country
should be explained to them. Mr.. Marsden
deprecated the governments treatment OF
the Indians, and spoke of the benefits of a
Christian treatment of them.

OF national and race barriers, the invention
of machinery, the discomfort OF the heather
with their conditions, the readiness of edu-
Gated young people to go abroad and the
opportunities offered by the wealth of
America We're. he said, contributing
toward this progress.
