In the last number of the Home Missionary, considerations were adduced, which impress our own minds-and, also, we trust, the minds of our readers-with the conviction that no time is to be lost by those who would stamp upon the future people of this land the image of a pure Christianity. Especially do the condition and prospects of the NEW STATES demand, that the arduous and long continued struggle by which their peculiar moral difficulties are to be surmounted, should begin, in all its vigor, without delay.

The more we become acquainted with the character and condition of the mass of western mind-its diversity of habits and moral tendencies, the prevailing carelessness of religious restraint, the want of a public conscience in respect to the demands of religion and religious institutions, the allowed disregard of the Sabbath, the prejudices which prevail, and the errors which are inculcated by many professed religious teachers, and fostered by that want of better information which springs from the too prevalent neglect of common school instruction-the more are we impressed with the greatness of the obstacles to be overcome in bringing our vast Central Valley under the power of the Gospel. The work demands the sympathies of all hearts, and the efforts of all hands. There ought not to be, there cannot be, any monopoly of the toils, and privileges, and glory of this work. The zeal which spreads the Bible, and religious tracts, and Sabbath schools, over that great field, is all wanted; and every truly christian heart must hail these agencies with a cordial fellowship. But still, we are more and more convinced, with every passing year, that to give direction, concentration and efficiency to all these auxiliary methods of doing good, the population of the West must be supplied with the PREACHING of the Gospel. All other means, without this, will produce but limited and transient effects. Nothing else leaves permanent memorials of its influence, any further than it tends to draw after it the stated ministrations of the Gospel. Over the tract, the religious volume, nay, over the Bible itself, with all its treasures of wisdom, hundreds of thousands of that people will slumber till they die. They cannot, or they will not read. "They are not generally a reading people, but a thinking and a talking people. They are accustomed to catch the glance of the living eye, and to be instructed and animated by the living voice. Books do not attract their attention; and before the Bible will ever be read by that population, there must be in all that land, the voice of one crying in the wilderness' to prepare its way."
