I have no intention at present of even hinting at anything approaohlug fraud, in the peopet' sense of the word, but I not only object to regard money spent in purchasing Mohammedan graveyards as spent in Jewish evangelization, but also to money spent en salaries to num preaching the gospel in the English language, chiefly Anglo•Amerieax people in foreign lands, being regarded as such. Some missionary sooieties would be the better of a little more of business princi- ples and of separate accounts for mani- festly distinct departnl0uts of worst. One clergyman takes a trip from Jere,• ealetn to Galilee, another from Beyront to Sidon and Damascus with horses and melee, baggage and so forth without knowledge of the language of the people, stopping here and there its convenience and safety may demand, and the cost or all this is reekonod as cost of missions to the Jews. I know two missionaries to the Jews, who put up in a hotel in rift, Lebanon nearly one-half yew, without a single word of Arabio and not a single Jew wit1310 twelve miles and yet they watched anxiously for the British mails, received and replied to totters as if they were working among the Jews and their expenses were, of course, money spent in Christianizing the Hebrews. The result of all this must be to prejudice e0011 Christian generosity against raising any- thing for the benefit of the Jews, for IorrA T. ,ttttcs-u.E>t. particular, for "they are very high 0:tsaoteU e.lt — church."' however, the arrived, and Miss For a score of years pest, the western Blyth and her assistants received me world has hada hazy impression that a courteously.

A B1021 11010 SEI•OLC»RE• While ecclesiastics and theologians the world over were anticipating and prepar• ing for the c00n011 of Nioe, which was held in the yam A. D. 825, under the pa- tronage or the then lately converted Con- stantine, the another of the emperor, IIelena, was meditating a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and before some of tine mem. hers of the great synod could return to their dioceses the empress had ar- rived in the Holy City, once the neons• sat•y inqeiry, and identified the sepulchre where less than 300 years before the body of our blessed Lord bad been laid by Joseph and Nicodemis in the presence of the Marys and other Christians. The identification of the sacred Lomb was celebrated with oriental pomp and kingly display by the queen and the Christians, Euseblus, one of the most uign influence exercised by Britain upon learned, laborious andiacote eoclesiastios, the world and e•pocially in the East, and father of ehur09 history, and an intimate yet some of the natives, and thoughtful friend of the imperial family, was then natives too, appear to think and say that minister of the church ab Censarea. the goat which Britain has done in the This same Ensebius narrates the story of East is more than Widened bygtbe evil Helena's visit to Jerusalem, and the re - of the drinking customs introduced by eovery of the sacred tomb, as a piece of English speaking people.

There were Fix of ns in the vehicle and before we had gone far, one of the com- pauy gave abundant and horrible evidence of the fent that the influence and effect of the liquor traffic were ex feuding eastward. Tho max was a par• ter and it seems he had b- en handling baggage for some American who treated him to rum and consequently treated us to a fiend. True he dig not use his hands, but the language he used would have touted hardly even upon the ears of Rental, Ingersoll or Voltaire. Moat of us know that intoxicants tell more readily or more injuriously on the aboriginal inhabitants of this continent than on Europeans, and, benne, it should not be dilliotlt to understand that liquor affects the Syrians sooner and to a great. er extent than it does English or Amer. lean peop'e. Only the very blindest and inveterately blgotted can deny the bo - and this eupply is created certainly not by native, but by foreign demand, I was seddet ed, nay horrified On one 000agion to hear that within half a mile of where I was, half a dozen boys under fourteen had somehow secured drink, were drink - ink and were partia'ly drunk nand had, therefore, to be taken into custody by the authoritiee. In Scotland and in Canada I have hoard it said of some people as being "beastly drunk." I am sorry to say that the Arabic equivalent of this un- camplimentary statement if literally translated, would read "drank like an Englishman." "The English dieoaee" ie also a street name for drunkenness in IJamasoas. With my own 0005, while I still had the use of them, 1 saw two Englishmen rolling themselves on the hard, rough, stony road in I3eyrout and under the in - t1 lento of drink, imploring me end othore who happened to be near, for some "mote cognac." '2h90 state of things moot grieve the heart of every lover of Britain and 13ritieh institutions. Thus it is demonstrable that the evil of the liquor traflc extends tar beyond the tangs in which it has its seat, and in referenc0 to thie particular, the ory of the east to Europe and America is not, "Orme over and help tie," but "Stay at home and gave es." O',r vel it:de halted four times on the Inks return hone published 0 pamphlet raising the first doubts as to the identity of the sepulchre of the Lord.

Tho Oriental churches, how- ever, still hold firmly to the identification of IIelena and in this they are seconded by their hereditary opponents,thoLatins, The holy eepuluhre and the -church of that name, are situated in the nortlt- wtelern quarter of Jerusalem, inside the present wall, and while the main pota Mons of the buildings over and above the eepnfllre are controlled by the Greek 0hnrch, another pre.Proteetanb deuom• lmti"us have nooks, uhap-•Is, altars, walla or holes which they call their own.
