The Monetary Times remarks that the Can-

adian official figures differ from these very

materially, as may be seen from the second

columu. A decline of 310,502,362, or say 27 percent. compared with !874,is apparent from the American figures, while the Canadian figures show a decline of almost 20 per cent From tie circumstance that incoming products are more likely to be~-strictly recorded than those exported, we infer that the Canadian

figures above are the nearest mark.

Summerside Notas. ( From the Journal)

Farmers are sowing their wheat in dry sections of the country.

The weather for the past few days has been fine

J. H. Henry has purchased thirteen horses and about fifty sheep for the Ameri- can market,

The Bonded Warehouse wae broken into en Sunday night and several pounds of tebacce were stolen therefrem.

Large quantities of potatoes have been coming inte town this week. KR. T. Hol man, Esj., is the principal buyer. We understand that Mr. Holman daily expects the arrival at this port of a large steamer, which he intends to load with potatoes for the old country.

The steamer Princess of Wales took from this port on Wednesday last, the following

freight : 20 boxes egys, 44 head cattle, 15\

horses, 63 sheep, 90 bush oats, 1 set fan- ners. Value, $3.599. G0. -

The Pregress has changed hands. Ron- ald McDonald, Esq., Liquor Merchant, Water Street, is now proprietor of it. We wish him every success in his new under- taking.

Messrs. W. A. Robbins and family, Joseph McKwen, Caleb Schurman, Douglass Coles, Wm. Crabb, and about twenty others, left here yesterday morning teseek their future homes in the United States. We sincerely wish thei all pros- perity in their new field of labor. And we but express the cominon sentiment of this community when we say that, morally and secially, it will be hard to fill the gap that has been made in our social circles by their departure from among us.

Joseph Cook cn Immortality.

LETTER FROM AN ISLANDER ABROAD.

_ . oe ae ae l'o the editor of the Ha

reine?. Duar Sir, of hearing a leciure delivered by Cook, of Bosten, and will, with your —- . : 1, .

givea brief deseription of the lec

! had the pleasure recently Joseph

per nfission, turer and lecture.

In company with some fellow-students, | drove sixteen miles from this place to the city of- Wheeling, where Joseph Cook was announced to lecture. The largest «hall in the eity was crowded before the time an- nounced for the lecture to begin. We were fortunate enough to obtain seats near the nlatform, where we could hear distinetly, and see the lecturer as he is.

Shortly after the hour announced, the lecturer walked upon the stage through a side door. He was introduced, in a few words, by the Chairman, and arose to his feet.. As he stands there for a few moments, amid tie deep hush of the audience, let me try to pleture his appesrance for the benefit lave never

of those of your readers whe seen him.

Imagine, then, a man apparently fifty-five years of a ve ; perhaps five feet tenor eleven ‘inches in height, rather corpulent, plainly with @ imassive head and high, intellectual forehead ; dark hair and whiskers, « rather large, firmly moulded month, large, very large bright eyes, awkward carriage, tinpolished beets, and you have Joseph Cook as he stands there before his waiting auditory. His head and noble forehead at once strike you as belonging to no ordinary man,

He speaks In a loud, rather husky tone. His tirst words are calculated! to rivet the attention of his hearers. ‘‘ Geo. Washing- ton’s body liss meuldkr nz beneath theclocs of Mt. Vernon. Does his spirit never hover above the green hilltops of the mother of Presidents /—Virginia. Can We say that nowhere in God’s wide Domain a Washing- ton or Princo Albert Having? briefly touched on the importance of his subject, viz.: ‘‘ Does Death end All?” he entere | on bis lecture proper.

Many have accused Joseph Cook of substituting a natural or scientitic theology fer the doctrine of the Bible. Nothing could be more unjust. In this lecture he de- elared himself incapable of proving the im- mortality of the soul indepondently of the Bible. t

But said he, “if on the field chosen and tenaciously held by the skeptic, I de- feat him, and show that he is wrong froma scientific standpoint, if, in a word, | intro- duce hin into the vestibule through the medium of science, I trust that I can in- him to enter the Temple of Trath by means of the living Oracles. jecture embraced two leading thoughts. The first was, that there is ip the universe a something more than mere matter, not subject to physical laws, cen- sequently, nor necessarily destroyed by death. That there is something in the world besides matter is shown by consider ing the properties of mere matter. “One of the properties, and that most universally scknowledged by all scientists, is inertia, a3 the lecturer put it, ‘‘mere matter stays put.” Bat there is iu the worlda something which we call growth, and as matter is inert, eryo, there is something in the world besides matter. The scar re- ceived in childheod still remains on the hand, although all the particles of the body have been changed many times. But the the cleft made in the snow bank is filled by succeeding Snows, and no sear is visible. Why the ditferencs? Ii is that in that hand there is someting besides dead mat- ter.

The second thought was that termed by the lecturer the ‘* prophetic instinct.” The swan, warned by the approaching cold, in- stinctively feels that there is a warmer climate. and. desires to migrate thither. What now if there.is so suany south cor- responding to this instinct? Has not the Creator, who gave the bird the instinct, breken His word§withjthe creature of His hand? Certainly He has. There is noth- ing superfluous in all God’s creation. Has the fish a There is water in which j the fish can swim, and with reference to! which the fin was fermed. Has the swan a desire for a warmer climate ! God has pro- vided the sumny South. And since God keeps his word with the birds, will He not with man? Has this restless longing of the human heart for a better life—this in- atinct in our breasts that through all the night ef time has whispered to us that be- yend the beundary of mortal life there is a land where we shall live and act-—has this no corresponding reality? To believe it is to believe that the Ominiscient One has broken His word with us.

To say that this belief is the result of education, is absurd. As well say that the desire of the babe for its natural food, the desire of the thirsty traveller for water, or) the instinct that tells the bird of a warmer climate has no corresponding reality that jitis the effect of education. All these, (as well as the hope of immortality, are in-! j herent, not acquired. | One point especially worthy of note is ithis, and I beg any sceptical gentleman to! think upon it. As matter does net grow of | jitself,but is the result of the Mving principle | in the cells of the body, and as every cause | precedes its effect, it follows, that life eristed | before matter, that is, that the dissolution of | ithe body dees not imply the extinction of | the life, but as it existed before this frame! which it has woven, ao it may exist after | the frame has decayed, and weave for itself! another more glorious body.

One word with respect to the meanest of | all modern infidels, and Tam done. Said | Mr. Cook, in speaking of Ingorsoll’s stolen! plumes, ‘‘ There isa man who puts his hand | into the last year’s nest of Thomas Paine. | and takes therefrom not eges but egg: | sliells, all of them malodorous, and he pawns them off on some peeple for food, |

diet.” Of course, such a man as Joseph Cook would not stoop to the level of Inger- soll’s low ribaldry. His peroration was very fine. | [ see him yet, holding the Bible in. one hand, with his noble face turned heavenward, and I hear yet ringing in my ears, his joyous, hopeful words, as he vids his hearers press with resonant courage and unfaltering trust, with all-the truly learned, the way marked out by the Book of Books, whose best re- commendation is that it can be lived by. Very truly yours. H. A. MeDona.p. Bethany College, April 27th, 1880.
