It is a gift for which to utter praise

POWER OF A 0001) MAN'S LIFE
The beauty of a holy life constitutes the
most eloquent and effective persuasive to
religion which oae Amman can address to
another. We have many ways.of doing
good to our fellow creatures ; but none so
efficacious as leading, a virtuous, upright,
and well-ordered life. There is an energy
of moral suasion in a good man's life, pas
sing the highest efforts of the orator's wi
ning. The seen but silent beauty of holi
ness speaks more eloquently of God and
duty than the tongues of men and angels.
Let parents remember this. The beet in
heritance a parent can bequeath to a child
is a virtuous example, a legacy of hallow
ed remembrances and associations. The
beauty of holiness, beaming through the
life of a loved relative or friend. is more
effectual to strengthen such as do stand in
virtue's ways, and raise up those that are
bowed down, than precept, command, en
treaty, or warning. Christianity itself,
I believe, owes by far the greater part of
its moral power, not to the precepts or
parables of Christ, but to his own charac
ter. The beauty of that holiness which
is enshrined in the four biographies of the
Man of Nazareth, has done more, and wilt
do more to regenerate the world, and bring
in an everlasting righteousness, than all
the other agencies put together. It has
done more to spread religion in the world
than all that has ever been preached or
written on the evidences of Christianity.
THE BILL OF EXCIIANOE.—The follow

the admiration of all. It occurred in New
York, and the gentleman who appears to
so much advantage in it is well known in

Mr. W. is an Ecglishman and a Q O3 .
ker. Re has realized a handsome fortune
in business, and has now retired, spends
yearly his whole income in benevolent ob

quiet and unobtrusive manner in which he
effects his purposes. Some years since a
young gentleman came out from England
to New York for the purpose of going into
business, and into the same line of bind.
nese in which Mr. W. then was. The
young Englishman brought letters of intro

him all the assistance and , counsel he
needed to render hii success in business

time, the young gentleman, who was also
a quaker, had occasion to remit funds to
the amount of $4,000

MEETING OF THE AMI:RICAN BOARD
OF FOREIGN MIssIONS.
We have reed -wi t tit much interest the
proceedings of the 40th annual meeting of
the American Board of Foreign Missions.
recently held at Pittificiti. Mass., as we
find them reported, with sketches of the
addresses, &c., in the N. Y. Evangelist.
The meeting seems to have been largely
attended, and the occasion was one of great
encouragement to the benevolent and phi
lanthropic men engaged in missionary la
bor. We regret, however, to perceive
from the reptirt of the committee upon
that subject, that there is a great Want of
missionary laborers, and , that while the
work is increasing, and the demand be
coming every day more and more urgent,
the amount of labor offering is greatly di
minished. There are now at least thirty
eight ordained missionaries needed, while
but seven young men are under appoint.
ment. Three of these are designated for
China and one ler western Africa, and the
committee feel much concern, in the mat
ter of supplying the additional number,
especially as the present aspect of the
theological seminaries does 'not afford
much encouragement that an adequate
supply may be expected from them. The
aggregate number of students during the
last year in' the seminaries' of Andover,
New haven, Bangor, East Windsor, New
Brunswick. Union, Auburn, Western Re
serve,
and Lane, to which the Board must
chiefly look , for missionaries, had been,

class Ivaco matter for serious reflection.

We copy from . tho Evangelist :
Dr. Poor proceeded to nay, that at Tit,

seven years in the beginning, and seven at

It happened not long after that; I preached

that she always took a Spanish dollar to

remonstrated with her for giving so much

to,work, she replied that when that time
should come, the Lord had kindly provid
