In a jaunt to tl e country a few
days since, mvatteu ion was directed.
while passing tlirou jb a small village,
to a funeral proccs ion entering the
church, hud bavin; some time to
spare, I dismounted and went iu also.
1 soon saw that i babe was to be
laid in jtlie “narrow house/ The
^minister officiating nade some appro
priate remarks mb pted to instruct
and comfort the i trickcu parents.
Among other thing:, he said: “Wbeu
Iteraons who have h ul no experience
of the trial involved in giving up a
sweet bfibe^ the gre it ccutn* of love
iu the home circle see stroug men
and women convi lsed with grief
over the death of a little child, they
are ready often to ci nsure and charge
such bereaved on< s with folly for
thus grieving at t ie loss of only a
child.” “But,” adt ed the preacher,
V‘tbey have no bnsi less thus to con
demn others whet they can have
no conception of J be trial through
which they are pi ssing.” Said he,
“I can conceive < f but one other
stroke of bcreavemi nt harder to bear,
and that is, for hi sband or wife to
_ lose a loved com pa lion.”
To all of these i emarks uiy heart
responded in toarfu sympathy. None
can know but suci as have druuk

cup, how desolate the heart feels
as these little ones that have nestled
so fondly there are laid iu the grave.

Nor does sorrow of heart at our
loss at all imply a want oi resigns

if, while we grieve, we do not at
the same time cherish rebellious
feelings towards God, who corrects
us in love, that we may thereby “to

truth, “tor profit," as the end of all
our chastening*, must uot In? forgot

But if we are submissive, and truly
acquiesce in the loss of our dear
little ones, then the event will prove
indeed to be a golden chain, u-rought
by the hand of the (treat .irtiif, to bind

Wheu we couaider the death of
our babes iu the light of gospel

wounded heart yet bleeds, kisa the
baud that smites ns, and say, with a
true spirit of submission, “Kvcn so,

Whilst we have no sympathy with
the extreme views which are held
in some quarters of oar church <«,
the subject of Kanxelgemeinockofl,
are yet firmly of tbe opinion that
great caution should be execoarfl
by oar ministers and church officers
in granting tbe use of oar palpjp
and churches to preachers of other
denominations.

some a very different aspect Buck
privileges are often asked of our
church authorities, however, and
many are disposed to agree ou the
ground of Christian charity sod
courtesy, and liecause the church
building would not be used by our
selves oti tbeBundsy named,that there
can cert sinly he no good reason for de-

Mid continued ev eu for years with

many other caacs the policy has been
as suicidal as it would be for the
captain of a merchant vesuri to
strike sail, and haul to at the signal
of a pirate, and invite him to ootur

their prey.
Tbe last number of tbe Haifer
tells us of a certain preacher vrbo
has pnblidy complained in hk
church paper that although be bod
succeeded in “jiroacJriing more than
a thousand souls,* yet his late chiugr
still owed him a part of his salary.
Recently we had the opportunity
of attending the sessions of a large
convention of ministers of another
denomination, where we saw amt
heard a thing or two that some*hat
startled us. Particularly were we
surprised at s statement made by
‘an earnest and evidently gifted
npeaker who was addressing the
convention on the subject of State
Missioua He was giving an account
of the Rncccsses of tbeir minister*
a
in a portion of the State where the
denomination has hitherto been
comjwratively little known, and in
the course of his remarks spoke,
substantially, as follows: “Brother
Plunger went some twelve months
ago to Timbuctoo. where scarcely s
member of our chnreh could be
found, but he went resolutely t«
work to see what coaid to done-
Jle rapidly gathered together all
he could find in the town and vicinity
who had any sympathy with wir
denomination, and began bokliiq:
regular services. Through the kind
men* of the member* of another A*
nomination to was granted the #»'

Sundays on which they did not

succeeded in rallying arouud him
a devoted little band, who are *«d

of onr good cause. I hold in mj
hand a letter r#centty r '^ receive*!
from brother Plunger, in which he
informs me, that he is about to be
expelled from that bouse of worship—
that they will not grant fiim the
use of that church lionse any longer
—but be writes me at tbe **■*
time, that if they do succeed in v-
peHing him from that pulpit, he <**'
riea more than half the congrtgttum
tcifh him." Now that speech was math*
exultantly, in tbe tone of one win?
felt that be was a bearer of glad
tidings. It was addressed to » 00,1
volition of probably two hundred
representatives of the chnrrh ot
which the speaker is a iniiiisteri ****

put in few* words, might read,
