Query.—Can ao really valuable a
present, a gift, which ia so well
adapted to benefit tbe recipient both
for tinne and eternity, a silent yet
eloquent, a simple yet effectual, a
pleasant yet earnest weekly visitor,
monitor, adviser and preacher, which
in leisure moment*, on rainy Man-
days, ia always ready to instruct, be
bad as cheaply ? We are happy to

former of these are on no better

native is to make our own W*fh

If oar friends will receive oar
earnestness as an apology for ottgr-
ing it, we will, in tbe absence of say
other, suggest for their coattdem-
tion the following plan of gradual

President's chair in tbe earn of #10,
