There are too many who overlook the pere )l’] l" "orth On one other point we wish to touch, and we have done. There is no Christian man who does not fully acknowledge the vanity of hu- man eflort where there is not im-‘ plicit and ‘confiding reliance on Providence. But this trust in God does not preclude most strenuous labor on the part of man. Indeed, Without such labor, there is no real reliance on‘ Providence, the latter, we venture to say, being exactly proportionate to theforiner. " Aid thy self, and Heaven will aid thee.” I )CS Hence Will be seen the extreme necessity of accurately gauging the real sentiments of the electors, for a victory that is not begotten of pure conviction not only as to the desir- ability ot passing the Act. but also of unceasingly aiding in Its enforce- ment would be worse than defeat, for the latter may, and often does, lead to renewed and still greater exâ€" ertions for another trial, but the tormer certainly would make the Act a stumbling block of derision and futility. change and novelty; but these are the very men who to-merrmv will weary of what they have got, and beginning with eitpressions of dis- appointment, they will go to dispar- agement, and Wlll end in open and noisy clamors for repeal.

The building is expect- ed to be completed before harvest. One day last week a young man rode on horse-back into our little town and stopped at the Post Office, having fasten- ed his horse securely as he supposed. He entered the Office and asked the Post Master for his LIBERAL, Wlllcll he prompt- ly received, but, while searching it eager- ly for the Vellore items, he was notified that his steed wasgrazing on the road- side a short distance away.

There may be a slight tendency to speed the metre, but we must bear with the young man on that point, as his recommend was not that his voice was tuned to the . staid melody of the sanctuary, but, that he could sing: songs well with all that full and peculiarly interesting modulation of voice in delicate touches of deep pathos, as well as the full strong notes of a well- filled chorus. There is a tendency more in devotional singing to leave the Old beaten path of the long drawn emphasis, that used to be rendered with so much feeling and proper prolongations to fully solemuize the services of divine wor- ship, now we have the more light and vivacious rendering after the manner of what we often hear in the streets, to the martial roll of the drum, and the glitter of a holy warfare.
