A BAPTIST £250,000 FUND.
Principal Edwards, of Cardiff president of tho Baptist Union, in a "New Year Jlessaqe" to the Baptist churches, specially pleads for a great and united effort throughout the country to raise a snm of JE250.000 for a suslcntation fund. Dr. Edwards says: "We learn from statistics recentlv compiled that Baptist ministers are at the very bottom of the list—a state of tilings which, from very shame, we should hasten to remedy. At the close of forty rears of public life T find I have been and am .wjiiainted with scores of ministers, able, cultured, diligent, niid devout men, labourinß with rare earnestnes? and zeal in sparsely populated out-of-the-way places, or in poor district', receivin;;' but a mere pittance tor their work—certainly a 'labour of love' more than nnvthinj* else. These men, humble, patient,'uncomplaining, true, have been and are the real heroes of the connlrv. '['he time is more than ripe to remedy the present slate of things, and our separate CoiiKi'Oßafioiialisra must no longer slnwl in the way."
