We most cordially thank our sister for
the abovo proposition. It commits tins im¬
portant matter to good bands and generous

to sing tho praises of God and read his
ivondctful winks iu their own language.

upon our sisters to accept the foregoing
proposition, and imitate the example of sis¬
ter W - . Unclose and remit their con¬
tributions.

II! I'aniimj, A’ ic Oi funis. J.n., says:
“There ate live or six persons at present
upon whom, I have reason to believe, the
Holy Spirit is at work. One of whom was
the most profane man I have ever known,
and seldom if ever came, to a religious
meeting, hut now is very anxious about his
Hull's salvation; lie has resolved to abandon
Ids habits of drinking liquor. Another
saiil, a few days ago, 1 1 am lost with my
present faith. I feel that I must have that
faith whereby I can say, My Father.’ ”
In another communication the ratr.c
brother says : “ One day, when I was going
from house to ho-t-e, I came to a family,
and asking the woman if she wanted to
real a Iraet, ‘0, yes, sir!’ she replied.
After 1 had given one to her, I spoke a
lew words about her soul's salvation. Kim
felt interested iu it, hut while I war speak¬
ing her husband rose from the bed on which
ho was lying, hallowing and swearing at me,
saying I should leave his house at once, or
cl.-e ho would break my neck. I replied,
‘ Sir, the Lord will answer your prayer bc-
furc you. think about it, and will damn you
if you don't repent' Then I left the house.
Tlio next Sunday Ids wile came twice to
our meeting, and her hu-band came in the
evening, but not inside, but be was standing
