To judge from, our own limited observation, we think the church is fortunate in its selection of clerevmen, who are generally a bo- dy of leairned, pious, and 7-ealous men, most of whom are in the prime of life ; whose perseverance in pastoral labors has been instrumental, under divine Providence, in raisins the church, within seven years, from arftutterly desolate tate to bright hope and1 apJ proachin? prosperity.; A missionarvj sermon Was preaohed on Sunday, by the ReV;)M r Hooper ; ,in which was exhibited a vivid and most interesting view of the moral wonders which have been arcmplibed by sending the gos pel amon the heathen.
