and their descendants resident among them 5 and are endeavouring ^ by-the establishment of schools , to promote the education of their ofFspiing . Their attempts also , to introduce the benefits of civilized life among * the native inhabitants of the wilderness , continue to be steady and persevering : and to be marked in some parts
by a cheering' degree of success . We are also glad to learn the favourable result of an application to the government of the United States , to secure to some of these natives a title to their lands , previously to an intended subdivision of this property , in order to its being transmitted by legal inheritance .
The continuance of the blessing of peace to this nation lias warmed our hearts with gratitude . Our refusal to bear arms is not only a testimony against the violence and cruelty of war , but against a confidence in what is emphatically termed in Scripture , the " arm of flesh : " it is a testimony to tl » e meekness and gentleness
of Christ , aad a resignation to suffer , in reliance on the power , the goodness , the protection and the providence of the Almighty . Let us , even uow , seek to have our trust so firmly fixed on this unfailing source of help , that if our faith should be ever again put to the test , we may have ground to look with humble confidence to him in whom we have believed .
Dear Friends , if we are quickened by the power of the Son of God , we sh # ll not be idle spectators in the world , nor indolent occupiers of the talents with which we are entrusted 5 and , however varied our allotments may he , each will see that he has duties , and very important duties to fulfil , in this state of existence . We shall , however , find that it becomes the pious Christian to wait to know his exertions for
the good of others regulated and sanctified by the Spirit of his Lord . We shall seek to he preserved from suffering by the friendship and intercourse of the world ; arid we shall see the necessity of continued watchfulness , that neither our own minds , nor those of our tender offspring , ' may be drawn aside from the simplicity and purity
of the truth as it is in Jesus . Our early predecessors , received this truth by convincement £ they made great sacrifices to obtain an establishment therein , and having thus purchased their possession , they were careful not lightly to esteem it , nor to exchange it for any inferior object : but let us ever bear in mind , that the salvation
of the soul cannot be inherited by birthright , nor imparted by education . It is an individual work , indispensably necessary for every man to know wrought in him through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour . Let us , then , each seek to fill his allotted station in the church , that in the

Miscellaneous . The Lord Chancellor has given judgment against the Jews ia the Bedford Charity . This people are wholly excluded from all its benefits . Legally , the decision may be right 5 we wish , however , that the law were more conformable to the benevolent spirit of the gospel . We gave in our
last Volume , XIII . 586—594 , a full account of . the proceedings in Chancery in this interesting * case $ and the same valuable correspondent , by whose means we were enabled to do so , has furnished us with an accurate report of the Chancellor ' * Judgment , which will he inserted in our next .
The following- notice has been sent ! o ns from the Committee of the Soeiety who are so laudably engaged in the attempt to reduce the Poor Rates . King ^ s Head , Poultry , August 18 , 1819 .
It is hoped that those owners and occupiers of land , and parishes , who , from a conviction of the utility of the plan , are now in so many parts engag-ed in furnishing labouring * poor with small portions of land , will by their example be the means
hourly of exciting- others to the adoption of this very important mode of amelioratingthe condition of the poor rates . What is effecting in Kent by Lords Abergaveimy and Le Despencer , as well as by parishes in that county , merits universal notice .
There can scarcely exist a doubt but that the government will ere long co-operate m granting land at no great distance from London , on which a number of metropolitan poor may be employed .
