With the exception of cotton, New York shipped and received very wuc more was h the larger part of the merchandise exported from and imported into the United States. More than one-half of the imports came to Now York. The total for the United States was $752,490,569, and of New York rece'ved $497,935,845. The total exnoris of the United States amounted to $725, - 733,263, of which New York shipped $319, - 407,498. The year’s fore'gn business is the largest this that has been transacted since the extraor- dimary years 1880, 1881 and 1882.

The Ch rch of God is ‘a set upon an hill,” and beleaguered “by its en-unes. We are placed in it to defenc it, ‘rom our Baptism when the cross was’ pladed upon vur foreheads, ‘in token that hereaiter we should not be ashazaéd to confess the faith £ Christ crucified, but manfully to fight under His Latiner against sin, the world and the devil, and to continue Christ's faithful soldier and servant until we come to our Hize’s end,’—from that time wé have been bound, to protect that holy city, whenever she is attack- ed by her-foes. How have we kept the sacred trust committed to ns?‘ Are we, as indivi- luals, doing anything for the chureh at large, and especiaily for the church in our own country? It is true that we have the promise of the Saviour that *the gates of heil shall not prevail’ against the whole church, but iocal churches may at any time be: blotted out as the. churches in’ Asia and Africa were. Countries onée in the full light of Gospel glory are now in the darkness of idolatry or infidelity, because they left thiir first love, and did not fight against the chirehe’s enemies. What are we doing personally that our branch of the church should not suffer the same fate? We are so apt to take an interest only in our own parish, or at most our own diocese, without giving further thought to the whole church, or even to our Canadian branch of it. God ‘once uttered terrible words against the Church of Laodicea ; ‘I know thy works, n fo does not the that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would that thou wert either cold or hvt. So then because thon art neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.’ And why should He not say the same words to us? Look at the Church in this Island. Con- sider ail the advan‘ages it has had in times past, the money that has been expended on it, the support it has received from England, the number of the early settlers that belonged to it,—and what is it now? In the position of a third orfourth rate sect--closed churches, half paid clergy, small congregations, general listlessness. Shall I tell you why? Because the Church has been false to her trust. Becanse she has not taught her members the doctrines which are contained in the Prayer Book. Be- cause she has let her people go on blindly, not knowing what the history and texching of the Church is, Because she has not jet her light so shine before men that they might see her good works and glorify the Father which ‘is in Heaven. because her priests have not kept the solemn oath they took at their ordination, ‘** To be ready with all faithful diligence to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange do@trines contrary to God's word.’ Because she has kept the Public Worship for one day in the week instead of seven, The Prayer Book says: ‘The order of Morning nd Evening Prayer to be said dai/y through- out the year,” and instead of daily it is said weekly. 1 much fear that we cannot claim to be even as the Church of Laodicea, Juke- warm, but cold—cold as death. The enemies of heresy and ‘schism are sweeping over the country, right up te our And we within the Church are often spending oar time not in defending the bulwarks, but in indolence and apathy, or what is worse, in some cases parleying with the beseigers, getting up specious crics for peace and unity by the sacrifice of truth and satholici‘y, wishing God-speed to those who we trying to overthrow us, and congratulat- ing them upon the successful spread of their false doctrines. For the love of God let us throw off this listlemess, this negotiating with the foe. “* Be ye not,” St. Paul says, “* un- equilly yoked together with unbelievers ; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? and what concord hath Christ with Belial? ov what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?’ Let us make a bold tight for THE feith once for al! delivered to the saints, and refuse to give up one iota of it. Further, in our own land, as well as in foreign countries, missions are contiaually being opened, and the Gospel preached to the heathen. Are we assisting these to the utmost of our power by our intercessions and our alms? From every quarter the complaint wises that there are plenty of men ready for mission work, but there is no money to pay them, and we take our ease in pleasure and feasting, denying ourselves no luxury, no enjoyment, while the city of God is unable to strengthen, her outworks against the foe ** Again, numbers ef people are enemies of the Church through ignorance ; holding false doctrines, not intentionally, but because they have been brought up in them and know no better.

There is another phase of literary frivolity called alliteration of which I have not spoken. It is the com- position of sentences or lines of verses with words begianing with the same letters. It is a somewhat mechianical aid to the rythm of verse, and although it may have a pleasant cadence fora short time, yet it soon becomes wearisome and ridicu- lous, suggesting thata laborious effurt had been made to keep up the alliterative strain, while the pleasure derived is only transitory, as that derived from witnessing the clever feat of an acrobat with a coz responding sigh of relief when the per- formance is over.

Yesterday morning about half-past six o’clock three boats left the shore near the railway terminus, manned by twelve of a crew and nincteen passengers. ‘l'wo of the boats succeeded in getting on to’ the run- ning ice, but owing to the northwest gale and the ice being running to the eastward they found it dangerous, in fact, impractic- able to proceed further, and it was after considerable difficulty that they fortunately regained the board ice. The whole party then retraced their steps, and after a severe struggle in the face of the gale and the blinding, drifting snow, reached the shore about noon in an exliausted condition.
