With these few remarks I will draw to a close, not forgetting to state that the dear old EXPOSITOR is made heartily welcome in Fernandina once a week regularly. Yours respectfully, WM. MURRAY, JR, Fernandina, Florida, Nov, 9, 1887. _ What Are we Going to do? DEA.R. EXPOSITOR. —Mr: Chiniquy sa we Proteatants are asleep, and is it n true ? He says we are; " coward s (Hers," and is it not true? He tells that, though every one of us is enlist under the banner of the Great Captai and under marching orders go o into all the world and preach the gl tidings of God's free gift to eve creature in it," we are too sleepy hear, or too busy to attend to the co mend. We are enjoying the comfort the Goapel ,after a fashion our o selves, and letting the rest of t world pretty much look out for itsel A picture of our attitude towards th perishiugr multitudes of Papal an 'Pagan heathen may be had if we g back to a certain grassy slope of Jude more than eighteen hundred years ag There is a crowd of hungry peop arranged, in rows upon the green nuts There are the twelve disciples an amongst them a lad carrying five barle loaves and tivo fishes. The plan of th disciples is to eat the loaves and fishe themselves and let the multitude g and make their own arrangements But the master is there, and he says " They will faint by the way, for diver of them came from afar. Give ye the to eat." The disciples do pot see muc wisdom in the plan, but he himsel knew what he would do. He took th bread and lifted up his eyes to Heave arid gave thanks. Then he broke th blessed bread and ." gave it to th disciples to set before the multitude. In,order to get the picture of what w are doing we must imagine now wha did not readly happen that day. Se these men! laden with the master' bounty, they start off to fulfil thi gra.dious purpose towards the hungr people But what is the matter wit them? They stop half way, and si down themselves upon the green grass and have a good time over their own y e e dinner! Then they remember that th day is far spent and the night is a hand, and they hasten themselves t gather sticks for a fire, and in spreadin a tent to keep them warm and dry and then, satisfied and sleepy, the crawl into it, and all stretch out fo a cosy rest Who does not despis such men? But suppose something further—suppose famine is abroad, tha there is no bread in the homes, nor any where in all the land but just abou those wonder-working fingers that an breaking the loaves and piling up th bountiful pieces to set before the multi tude..Thereis plenty of bread and there are plenty of messengers ; but the messen gers are asleep, and the mteltitude is fainting indeed. Women and children are there, and the wail of hunger and death is to be heard, but the messengers were first too hungry and then too busy, and now too sleepy to burden them- selves with the Lord's bounty, more than just what they wanted for their own use. Is it the curse caueeless " that comes from the heart of that perishing multitude upon the head of sleeping messengers ? And with what sort of eyes can the tender, yearning Saviour, who was moved with conepas- sion towards the multitude because they fainted and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd—with what sort of eyes can he look upon such servants? But is not this whole scene an awfully accurate picture of the sway the whole Christian Church is acting towards the railliotas and millions that are "perishing for lack of knowledge"? The gloriously adequate " Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" is given into our hands; bat it is given "to be taught to every nation, to be preached to every creature," and yet hundreds of millions of men, women and poor little children are speiading a life of hopeless sin and misery and going down into an eternity of "cuter darkness," and yet it is only "one among a thOuaand '' that really lays it to heart. The situation has now become im- peratively serious in that God:has now raised up thousands of educated, earnest men and women who are pressingly offering themselves to go and be the church's messengers. But " how shall they go except they be sent?" How shall they go down into the depths of heathenism. except some one hold the rope?" The men are ready and plead- ing with the Churches, "shall we have to stay at home for want of funds ?" What can be done to rouse the Christian Cherch and every living Christian in it resolutely to begin to deny them- eelves with all their might and to pour their sliver and gold into the Lord's treasury until there is more than enough for all the work ? Truly, truly, nothing but the zeal of the Lord of hosts can perform this. Then our first business is according to his own invitation, "to give him no rest, -till he establish, till he :make Jerusalem a praise," in- stead of a reproach "in the earthel' But we shall not find him lacking, and shall we not, depending with confidence upon the response, act in expectation thereof, and use lawful means toward the end in view? This is the thought that is pressing upon the writer's heart. Is this matter kept sufficiently before the Christian public through the channel of the public press? Dr. Duff complains that Christians do not half use the power of the press in their master's cause. Politicians know the power of incessantly keeping a given subject be- fore the public eye until they get the people roused to take it to heart. They never think that an occasional article, however powerful, will accomplish much. When attempting to lead the nation to anything decisive they will have paper after paper, articles two or three in one issue, each presenting some new view of the matter, some necessity leading to it, or some result to Row from it. They will exhaust their ingenuity to find arguments and illustrations, and, being in earnest them- selves, their earnestness glows in their words, and the heart of the people be - ins to wax warm. Matters which at fl-rst had been looked ;upon with in- difference, begin to be looked upon with interest, interest deepens into earnest purpose and determination, and an army of sage men is ready when the time for action comes. The Master himself has said, "The children of this world are, in their generation, wiser than the children of light," but will it not be pleasing tellim if we begin to learn a little wisdom ys ot ol- us_ ed 11, ut ad ry to na- of wn he f. a o. le s. a a 111 7, s y, from them? He wants us to be "wise as serpents," though "harmless as doves." Three or four Christian teen or women, who in the Lord's n me make up their mind to do this thing, can, with the co-operation of Christian editors, so move the heart of the Ch is - thin public, that deeds and notere sighs and speeches will be the res lt. If their zeal be of the right metal, they. will not stop until the public is arou' ed to do the work and to do it ri ht. There are living Christians enoughj in this, our beautiful Canada, and moiiey enough amongst us to send out a er- feet army of missionaries this very next summer, if each one is roused to bring the "alabaster box of ointment, v ry precious," that the Master may say of each one "she hath done what he could." If space is kindly allowed there nifty probably be four more letters following this, presenting different aspects of t is matter. And it is the 1 earnest h pe of the writer that others who have he matter deeply at heart may begin to write too, and let us earnestly seek to move the hearts of the people to o er willingly to the Lord of the abunda ce I which he has bestowed upon us.

The horse also got into the ditch, and the following morn- ing both man and beast were_found dead just as they had fallen.
