gelize. "A Christian Spaniard having occasion to visit a shoemaker's shop, is constrained to listen to the tale of his unhappy lot. 'How can it be otherwise,' was the reply, when you never bring your wants to the Almighty? Do you desire to do this, the means is through prayer; and be sure of one thing, the Lord never forsakes those who trust in Him. But your way is totally opposed to that marked out for us in His Holy Word, and you can never obtain the peace and hope of His children, till you give yourself to him."" NOTE FROM REV. W. YESTERDAY the Sanitary Commissioner for Bengal, who had been down to Pooree to devise measures for lessening the evils attending the pilgrimage, especially in regard to cholera, visited the orphanages. I give you his remarks in the Male Orphanage Book: "July 6th. I visited the Orphanages with Dr. Stewart. The Rev. W. Miller kindly took us round the establishments. I have been greatly interested in seeing hundreds of native children who must otherwise have been friendless treated with the utmost kindness and care. They seem to be well trained in every occupation likely The result of this conversation was, that the man sought for, and obtained, religious information, which he, in his turn, communicated to his family. Nor did the good end here. Three of his workmen, struck by the change which they saw in their master, at first from curiosity, afterwards from better motives, applied for religious tracts and books. These were at once given them, and now, master and men, forming a congregation of eleven or twelve, meet to hear the Gospel.-Missionary News. MILLER, JULY 7, 1868. to be useful to them in after life. I need scarcely say they are also carefully educated, both in a secular and moral point of view. They are in good physical condition, and evidently extremely happy. The great value of such an institution as this is almost incalculable. The good effects of its working will be even more conspicuous five or ten years hence than they are now. I can scarcely describe in a note of this kind the very deep interest with which I have looked into the details of the Peyton Sae Male Orphanage. Signed, DAN. B.
