Golden To THF PUBLIC URON AND 131WQ14 J Russel, J McNaughton, Jim Bis- � A Journey Across Lebanon, EY NEN', G. J. goivlI, ,Di, A., PASTOR ItNOX fDIUROn:, nRUSSELS. Not long after wo passed the L,erebaua "silk factory" we vouched ltheu or inn 13odichau, whioh is the neeond Station, its wbfeh the dili• germ changed horses on Its way from Beyrout to Damascus. The promises of tho road company aro dietinot, of course, from the public khan, and givo no eholter except to company's servants, horses, &o. After a ulow and easy ride we roach - ed khan Elgrye, a newly erected building, not yet popular with muleteers and travellers, although it promises well. From this spot, and at about two or three miles to the loft of the road, aro visible about half a dozen henbanes, such as wo have already noticed. These are also owned by a Prenah bowie, and is eituated near the Druce village of Elgrya. 'There are hero about 500 wheels generally employed for at least 0 or 10 months of the year. This village is the most influential sillr'apinning place in Mt. Lebanon. Some years several thousand kilo• grams of raw 0000008 are trans. ported from it to Beyrout on mule baoke, and then ehipped off to France, oftener, however, the oo• coon is spun and then transported in large bales. Io the surrounding districts this village is famous both for the quantity and qualify of its epringe, and owing to this circum- stance the foreigners wore induced to select thie spot rather than any other. The native inhabitants scarcely number one hundred, but they repreeent two distinct and op - peeing families, or clans, termer. ly, when life and property were lees secure in Lebanon, the French com pany had to subsidize the two sheiks, or chiefs, of both families. The foreigner has here introduced some of the fruits of ] ranee, such as cherries, apples, &c. Tho apple, however, is a native fruit of Leban- on and is produced in coneiderable quantities, although in quality and size they are inferior to the French. In the Moieties the French com- pany employ probably abottt a thousand bands, and in the Spring muleteers, ase and and some- times camels coma here from all parrs of the country carrying the cocoon, and when 1 lived there it was often remarked how workers of ';oth sexes came here from varioue and distant parte and sought to be employed whilst the cohabitants of tiro village hardly moved a finger to be employed. This used to be am counted for by the fact that the Druce in general admit, as a prin eiple, that labor of any kind ie be Heath their dignity, at any rate something inferior to what they should do, although they consider working on their patohee of land not quite ao humiliating. In the front of the khan I dismounted, and shortly afterwards my trunks and bed were planed in one of its small rooms. Here we were about half. an•bour's wall{ from the village of Babindouo, whioh, for many years, had been the scene of Mr. and Mrs. William Benton's labors, zealous American Christian missionaries. I told my muleteer that I was leav- ing for the village and hoped to re- turn to the khan in the course of the evening and would be ready to start with hint the next morning as early as he chose. Winding my way between the extensive and heavily laden vineyards of Bandoun I reached the village in three quar- ters of an hour, just in time to at. tend a lecture on "The Life of the Apostle St, Johu," delivered in the Protestant church by the Rev. T. Saleoba, the native pastor of Ban- doun. The eervioe was well at- tended, more especially as there were many visitors spending their holidays in this "village of vine- yards." After eervioe the :first gentleman who recognized me was David Frain, originally a Jove, but who, for many years, had been a member of the Protestant Church and a teacher in the Church of Scotland Jewish eohool in Beyrout. I had often mot him in the latter place at Jewish meetings. He could searooly conceal his surprise, if not diseatisfaetion. "Why," ho said to ice, "in whatever village I have hap- pened to be !ponding my holidays invariably have t bean asked to conduct servicee on the Hirst Day. Bandoun, however, mus% form an exception, for it has not 000urrod to Mr. Saleoba to notice and ask mo to preach." The minieter of this village, it would appear, is con- sistently enough faithful to the principle which dietinguiehos bo. tween clergy and laity; lioensed to preach and non -licensed to preach. On one occasion (a Sabbath faro - noon) Mr. Saloobe was officiating in another village (Suit), about two hours journey front. Bandoun, he was Risked to road an intimation to the effect, that G, Howie was to preach iu the eamo. place at 0;80 OV that evening, He, bowever, incised of 'to pronab,' read will givo a ohitub (epiritual lecture). Mani. featly Mr. Saleoba beide that it is irrovelant, or incompetent, for a lay. man to preach, although bo may givo an addrees or a lecture, This procedure is, I think, far from being nsodlose, still further from being narrow-mindedness, but probably it is intended to counteract, protest against, or, at tenet, ignore Ply. mouth Bretberniem principiee, which aro being pushed forward vigorous ly in Syria, and against whioh Pres. byteriau missionaries have frequent. ly and bitterly complained. During the few hours I remained at Bandoun I met several friends, both natives of the place and othere there for tbo snmmor. Tho popu- lation consists of Greeks, Maronites, a small proportion of Protestants, but no Draeo, The Protestant con- gregation is composed chiefly of those who, at one time, belonged to other denominations, and few, if any, in full membership have been born Protestants, This congrega- tion represents not only the poorer classes of the people (as is often the case) but is composed of all grades ; in any onse it in worth repeating that Christianity abroad is like Christianity at home; an inward change appears to necessitate and affect a correspondingly out- ward Mintage. A. Protestant con• gregation, whether in Beyrout, Da- mascus or Bandoun, is distinguished by an unmistakeable mark of clean - linage and reepeatability. The child- ren of Protestants are invariably educated, better believed, lees self- ish and more thoughtful than the children of other persuasions. A. Protestant inhabitant of this village, now in business at Beyrout, was appealed to by two of his children lo allow them to go without break- fast the First Day and to give them in money what he considered equiv. alent to their breakfast so that they might have something extra to put in the Sunday school box for mis• alone. This is all the more remark- able for those said children were rather inclined to be wild. We are far from inferring con. version and regeneration from man- ners and respectability ; iso would not infer the former even from self- denial and generosity ; but we main- tain that while the power of the Gospel effects marvellously the heart and inward dispositions, its power 19 also marked upon outward con- duct, We entertain grave misgiv- ings regarding the Christianity of any man whose outward behavior is not ooeformab]e to the spirit which the Gospel muse needs bring and cherish in the heart. Now, atter several hours of hearty hospitable entertainment from var- ious acquaintances, I walked back to the khan, whioh had now become pretty lively by the arrival of a great number of men and beasts. Here we slept, till shortly after midnight a general whisper went round that light was breaking, and that it was expedient to start and have as much of the day's journey over as possible before the glare of the noon -day sun was up. (To be Continued.) WINogAll FALL snow. In this show the ladies' depart. ment, whilst oontaining some un• ique and attraotive work and a few magnificent collections, was consid- erably below the average in quanti. ty and variety of exhibits. On Tuesday evening the hall was well lighted up and largo numbers of people examined, commended, crit. ieized or suggested improvements in the exhibits. Horses and cattle wore of good quality, but fewer on account of the wet morning. Sheep were well rep- resented, but hogs few. There was a capital show of poultry.
