Ft1 We do not often trouble our readers with articles about ourselves, but we take so much pleasure in the Society of Friends that we cannot refrain from reprinting the kindly notice given us in their paper. Since this article was in type a correspondent asks us to draw attention to No. 1,317 of the printed sermons. It was preached six weeks ago, in view of the danger of a European war, on the words, “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good,” and is an admirable plea for the cultivation and exercise of the Christ-like spirit that overcomes evil with good. We rejoice to hear the address is having a wide circulation, as well as that which succeeded it and is its companion — on “Lord, increase our faith.” Did space permit, there is much in both addresses we should like to transfer to these columns. We trust our readers will forgive our occupying so many pages with this address. As it is upon many themes we hope that they will regard it as several articles in one. Price 6d., Bemrose and Sons.

Ft8 This is the report of an address which would never have seen the light if n abstract of it had not been inserted in so many f the newspapers. It was never intended for the public eye, but was spoken in homely confidence to the beloved circle of praying people whom we esteem as our best friends and nearest kindred. A brief abstract, though executed by the most friendly hand, can never be satisfactory, and therefore we fell bound to give our own version — a revision of our friend Mr. Harrald’s shorthand notes.

Ft10 Writing this on November 12, we calculate that we need £750 more to meet present liabilities. A legacy of £1,500 is not yet actually paid, but it is included in our estimate. We hope the £750 will come in before the New Year.
