THE CIIIICESi 4
The Chinese are a . wooltful
,population of threeihundreeto four hint
dred millions, in a territory not as erten
isive as the United States, is a wonder.
.And their acre;is remarkable.. They have
eiiit r edi as &'xtatitin, and Withno 'very'areat
; changes since long before the Christian
era. And their present condition is a
matter of interest—Lthe4 manners, customs,
laws, social habits. 'industrial 'Pursuits £O.
The interest felt in China and,the Chi
nese, is> increasing. What is

who haS'enibriined - sOine', of . olir views 'of

great :spiritual-renovation:4 And the war
now being 4aged 'by the-rEnglisla` and
French is likely. to effect`' 'reat 'Social
Changes.""Christians cannot: but inquirn
what the Lord means for a ; nation -compri-.
sing such a, multitude of ,Imman souls.
And the pressingmatter of interest with
the people of;'God ) is r) the ;dispositiori l of the'
;Chinese to seek for knowledge. It is to be
laoped,that the Filliespcn,,w that they,.have
invaded the :country, and; 'net:great

Ar Ess y s ...E DlT e ß s :,—Having been acting
in the capacity_, of B ; tatcd. Supply to the
Presbyterian ~congregation of Mansfield,
for some *tenths, it „entered the minds and
hearts of menibers to testify to their appre
ciation of my ministerial labors, by making
a donation party in my behalf in the base
ment of the church, on the 30th ult.
The meeting was . held, and a joyous,
pleasant meeting it was to all in attend
ance ; and . I.,may say, especially so to m e ,
to witness such ~a cordial expression of
Christian kindness by members of a church
which I had served as pastor the first twenty
years of my .ministry.
I feel-grateful for the means of subsis
tence besto.wed on that day at the church,
and at, my.residence since.. But I can as
sure the generous donors that the exhibi
tion of their Christian esteem and attach
ment, which. revived the feelings and asso
ciations of : - years long gone, was on that
occasion the part of the compensation for
my poor services recently rendered, which
to me was' above price.
I hope an& pray that the donation given
to me; may;like that sent by the Philip
..
plans to Paul i ibe an odor of sweet smell,
a ,sacrifice acceptable; well pleasing to God."
