is being built, and the Christians there are exerting themselves nobly in the way of assisting the operations. I found that they had arranged among themselves to do what they could in the way of assisting the work. When there I found some of them carrying stones from the quarry, some mixing mortar, and others doing what they could to assist the masons. This will in the end save us a good deal of money."

"God helps those who help themselves," and the Reporter wishes that all his young friends may become "fellow-workers with God" by helping these worthy Chinese Christians.

He wishes all his readers a very pleasant Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Presbyterian Church in England.

VOL. X.

"Live while you live," the epicure would say,
"And seize the pleasure of the present day;"
"Live while you live," the sacred preacher cries,
"And give to God each moment as it flies."
Lord, in my case would both united be;
I live in pleasure when I live to Thee!
