countenances, and sigh for those who are far away. Thess thoughts pass and leave better ones when I remember for what I came. There are many responsibilities resting upon me and there are pleasures also. I am now in a place where I may labor for Christ, and shall I shrink from this task? No, God helping me, I will strive earnestly to act well my part. Yet I cannot but tremble lest I fail to act aright. There is One only who can guide me. How precious the thought that wherever I go He is near me. Thank father for that certificate. I scarcely know what to do in regard to it, however. The church here is in a somewhat unsettled state. There is some talk of disorganizing and uniting with the College church. There is a good deal of feeling about it. Many are very reluctant to give up the Village Church. I hope they will decide to go on with it if there is need of it. They have communion only once in three months. the next season will be three months from last
