Christian herald and signs of our times . of our mission-aries ! Whatstruggle for na-tional life, inwhich our citi-zens have notpoured theirblood into thetrenches!

What \fWBL WSt\ tIViW Jp d e p a rtment of 1 i t e r a t u r e orscience to whichour scholarshave net contributed! I need not speak ofour public schools, where the childrenof the cordwainer, and milkman, and glass-blower stand by the side of the flattered sonsof merchant princes; or of the insane asylumson all these islands, where they who wentcutting themselves, among the tombs, now sit,clothed and in their right minds; or of theMagdalen asylums, where the lost one of thestreet comes to bathe the Saviors feet with hertears, and wipe them with the hairs of herhead—confiding in the pardon of him who said: VOTARIES OF THE GAMING Let him who is without sin cast the first stoneat her. I need not speak of the institutionsfor the blind, the lame, the deaf the dumb, andthe outcast; or of the thousand-armed ma-chinery that sends streaming down from thereservoirs the clear, bright, sparkling, God-given water that rushes through our aqueducts,,and dashes out of the hydrants, and tosses up|in our fountains, and hisses in our steam en-gines, and showers out the conflagration, and!sprinkles from the baptismal font of ourchurches; and with silver note, and goldensparkle, and crystalline chime, says to hundreds of thousands ofour population,in the authenticwords of Himwho said: Iwill: be thouclean! All this Ipremise in open-ing this courseof sermons onthe Ten Plaguesof these ThreeCities, lest somestupid manmight say I amdepreciating theplace of my res-idence. I speak THE WIFES ENTREATY. to yOU to-day I concerning the Plague of Gambling. Everyman and woman in this house ought to be in-terested in this theme. Some years ago
