The Baptist Convention at Moncton, N. B.

(Christian Messenger.) In 1862— twenty-two years ago—the Bap- tist Convention of the Maritime+ Provinces was held at Moncton. It was then a very

different place from what itis now. There were then about a dozen or two of houses, and they not very close together. It was

» -naown : ‘eMhae and’ as eh as hy ! _ ’ then known as ‘The Bond” as much as by! tye summit of

its present name. No railroad to Halifax | was ther kuown to be in contemplation, | much less to have this as its central depot | in the Maritime Provinces. The Baptist Church was then built, but supposed to be! far in advance of any requirements of the | place for many years to come, and that, would not have been built bat for it being the residence of a wealthy family, the head }of which was pleased to appropriate a large | ‘sum inits erection. Now the city com- prises upwards of 10,000 inhabitants {hardly 10,000—the Messenger writer prob ably being deceived by the evidences of a live city —Ed. Times| and is extended over a svace, and has an air of commercial | activity, probably not surpassed by any | town in the Maritime Provinces. ' The Baptist Convention of these Pro- | -vinces élso was then a very different thing | from what it is now is. The support of} ‘Acadia College and Horton Academy were | then the principal objects of the Conven- | tion. Of the eighteen members of the ‘Board of Governors of the College, but) five are now living, viz.: Dr. Armstrong, | Dr. Welton, Hon. Dr, Parker, Dr. Bill, | and Rev. G. F. Miles. The other thirteen | have all gone to their reward. So modest were the Faculty of the College at that day ithat we fail to find any record of the names of the Professors in the annual report sub- |mitted to the Convention. A glance at the ‘record of that day gives very striking evi- ‘dence of the changes wrought in the person- pel of whom the Convention consisied, a very large proportion having finished their course and left the work for their brethren }and successors to carry forward.

In the matter of Foreign Missions greater changes still have taken place. Then the funds, besides appropriations being made to

be however a good many substantial men ‘waiting to come in’ as they put it here, land if, asI said before, all goes well with \this harvest, the influx of settlers will be greater than ever, When one looks at the enormous extent of the prairie country and it cannot possibly be realized except by travel through and about it—it is marvel- lous what has been done. ‘‘Out West, keeps moving steadily ahead of one all the way from Winnipeg to Calgary. Here at the Rockies, it is over the boundary in British Columbia, and the towns we have left behind, though only a year or so old, are centres of Eastern settie- ment and business, The trip out here is a revelation to anyone who has never been beyond Manitoba, To one who has never got out of old Canada it is indescribable. With all drawbacks, after making every allowance, and after diccounting by half all sanguine expectations, one must admit that the ‘Golden Northwest” is no exaggerated tile on the C. P. R Company's guide books. -_ a © + EE

The Bell Farm.

GOOD CROPS AND CONTENTMENT IN THE NORTH WEST.

(Corre sponde nee of the Montreal Gaz tte. )

The famous ‘‘Bell Farm” makes a good showing this year. For twenty miles, we drove through thousands of acres of magnifi- cent wheat, and had not then crossed our own path, nor been round half this huge farm of 58,000 acres. The grain is strong and well headed up. By this time Major Bell is busy harvesting. He expects to cut ‘about 180,000 bushels this year, and 6,000 bushels of flax. This estimate is likely to | be exceeded, for it is based upon a yield of | 20 to 25 bushels per acre, whereas much we |saw would turn out a good 30 bushels per ‘acre. Even the ‘‘volunteer wheat,” grow- ‘ing spontaneously from the grain left on the ground after last year’s harvesting, showed an abundant yield that would satisfy many an Eastern farmer. In an agricultural way, one would imagine no more beautiful sight than this immense stretch of wheat fields. They are called fields, but in reality, are separated from each other by nothing but a prairie road, so that at one point you are in the midst of an immense block of grain stretching four miles to the north, the same to the south of you and some five or six miles wide. A field of flax two miles long, by a quarter of a mile wide, was oue of the prettiest crops we ever saw, the light blue flowers and dark green stalks forming a lovely contrast. The farmer would care less for the wsthetic aspect than for the fact that the yield of this patch would amount to about 5,000 bus‘iels.

On some of the ordinary farms, even finer grain was to be seen thanon the Bell Farm. In the vicinity of Indian Head, Qu’ Appelle and Regina, especially, there is a gcod showing, but from all points there

was much the same story.

GOOD CROPS AND CONTENTED SETTLERS.

A mother, noticing her little daughter wipe her mouth with her dress sleeve, asked her what her handkerchief was for. Said the little one—‘‘It’s to shake at the ladies in the street. That's what papa does with his.”

The revision of the Old Testament does not include the Apocrypha. But it is not improbable that some members of the com- mittee will continue to meet and undertake a revision of the Apocrypha on the same principles.

The path of duty in this world is not all gloom, or sadness, or darkness. Like the roads of the South, it is hedged with ever- bloom, pure and white as snow. It is only when we turn to the right hand or the left that we are lacerated by piercing thorns and concealed dangers.—J ames 1). Kerr.

A French litterateur was so impressed with the purity of the language in Quebec that he determined to test it. When he return- ed to Paris he invited several literary friends to hear him real some new books of poetry. Then, without allowing them to see the imprint, he asked a careful opinion as to where they were written. They all said ‘‘in Paris. Where else? None but Parisians could write such French.” ‘*Ah, ventiemen,” he cried, triumphantly, ‘‘those books were written on the banks of the St. Lawrence, in Quebee |”

Mr. Gladstone is enjoying the Parliamen tary races at his home at Howarden. He takes long walks or drives every day, and is looking stronger and bealthier. The date of his departure for Scotland 1s not vet fixed. It is certain, however, that he will be received with enthusiasm, and his Medlothian campaign promises to be famous in political annals. Fabulous sums are already offered for seats at the meet- ings where the “Grand Old Man” is to appear, and it isa noticeable fact that the reporters of provincial and metropolitan newspapers are already arranging for elaborate reports of the proceedings.
