great awakening in the fact that the

progress. I simply state a fact when
I say that in many places the Churoh
is surrendering and the world is con-
quering. Where there is one man
brought into the kingdom of God
through Christian instrumentality,
there are ten men dragged down b3'
dissipations. Fifty grog shops (milt

journals in different parts of the
country fared with scum, a.nd dand-
ruff, and slang, controlled by the
very scullions of society, depraving
everything they put their hands on.

even on the part of those that pre-
tend to be Christian Churches, to
Spiritualism, and Ifumanitarianism,
and all the forms of devilism. If a

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

Bleepl1as Nights.
From the Cheatottetowee Patriot.
The Patriot's special correspondent
'Mao' being in the eastern section of
the island on business, heard many
oomplimenbo.ry remarks concerning
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which appear
to be the favorite medicine in all parts
of Canada. Among those who are
very emphatic in the praise of this
medicine is Neil McPhee, J. I'., of
Glencorrodale, and our correspondent
determined to call upon bim and.asoer-
tain from his own lips bis views in the
matter. Ma arePhee was found at
home, and as be is every entertaining
and intelligent gentleman, our corres-
pondent was soon "at home" too.
When questioned about the benefits
he was reported to have received from
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
Mr. MaPbee said: -"About four years
ego Igot run down from overwork on
the farm. As there is considerable
Ombra land on my property, Ithought
I could go into making timber in
addition to my farm work. The
task however proved too beavy for my
strength, anti I soon began to break
down. T contrasted a 'severe cold,
neuralgia followed, and I found my-
self in shattered health generally. I
felt very much distressed and dis-
couraged awl spent many sleepless
nights. I tried several very highly
reeonemended medicines, but received
no permanent benefit from any of
them. As Dr, Williams' Pink Pills
were so highly recommended through
theprsee, I thought I would give them
it fair trial. After using a few boxes 1
found they were having the desired
effect and I began to find my wonted
health' and strength gradually return-
ing. I kept an using the pills until I
bad regained my former vigor and
had gained considerable in flesh as
well. Now 'consider myself a health -
ter man and feel as well as ever laid
in my life, I can conscientiously re-
commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
find person suffering as .1 was. I
have the utmost confidence in their
caring properties."
Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia,
partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
nervous bcadatbe, nervous 'pr'ostra-
tion, and diseases depending upon
humors in th0 blood, such as scrofula,

I think the Lord put on us, as a Church,
a great responsibility. We set our
hands to the work of evangelization.
We am doing nothing else here. We
do not want to do anytbing else here,
but this work of evangelization. That
is, we want to bring men and women
to Christ, and bring them now. I do
not know how you feel, my brethren,
but my beast is breaking, with along-
ing that I bave for the redemption of
this people. If God does not give me
my prayer, I cannot endure it. I of-
fer myself, I offer my life, to tbis
work. Take it, 0 Lord Jesus, and slay
me if that be best. 'Wbether by my
life, or by my death, may a great mul-
titude of souls here be borne to God.
If from the mound of my grave more
can step intothekingdom of God than
through my life, let me lie down; to,tbe

saved, Lord Jesus, it is sweet to live
for Thee; methinks it would be sweet
to die for Thee. If in the Napoleonic
wars six millions fell; if in the wars of
the Roman Empire one hundred and
eighty millions fell, shall there not be
a great many in our day who are avill-
