vales below ring with shouts of praise, and songs of salvation, as they now ring with shouts of savage conflict and the echo of savage war-songs? These are questions for Home Missions to answer. May the God of Heaven impart the needed wisdom and strength for the mighty work; may the prayers of God's people go up as a thick cloud of incense before the throne for success; may the benefactions of the churches be poured into the treasury to aid forward to speedy and final consummation the holy en

ing-knife of the savage. But how is it now?
You are no longer at the West! The tide that
left you here, has rolled on its restless waves
-swept across the "Father of Waters," and is
now leaving the prairies three hundred miles
to the West! It is even now finding its way
through the apertures of the western moun-
tains, and spreading in rills over the plains of
the Pacific slope. How soon will its resist
less surges break over these rocky barriers,
and roll down in grandeur along the whole
western coast? And shall the banner of
Jesus wave on those rocky heights, and the "terprise !
