eldduring the past year. The College Temperance Society does a very useful work, and the studentsare in great demand to address Gospel Temperance meetings, Bands ofHope, &c. No fewer than one hundred and fifty meetings have beenaddressed by the students during the past year. Our brethren are ready to work wherever a church of baptized believerscan be gathered ; and they ask for invitations from earnest friends in desti-tute places, who will back them up in missionary endeavours. Mr. Spurgeonencourages them in endeavouring, as far as possible, to form churches ofwhich they may become the pastors when their College course is over.
