IT is our duty ever to "remember them that are in bonds as bound with them."  Let us prove that we do remember them, by endeavouring to do something towards rescuing so many unhappy beings from the miserable thraldom to which they have long been subjected by slavery.  Let us not rest satisfied until the doors of the prison-house of bondage are broken down, liberty to the captive is effected, and "the oppressed go free!"  until "the princes shall come forth from Egypt, and Dthiopia stretch out her hand unto God!"
     May the fervent prayers of all those who are interested in the welfare of their fellow-men, and sympathize with the suffering African, ascend to the throne of heaven.  It is the all-wise and all-merciful Disposer of events, the Lord Omnipotent alone, that can bless our efforts, and He will assuredly crown them with success, if we place our full confidence in Him, and faint not.  To His name he ascribed all the praise and all the glory!
 

JESUS! from thy dwelling-place, Look on Afric's captive race; While their bitter groans ascend, Let thy willing ear attend; Thou who never didst deny Pity to the mourner's cry, Hear the prayer we send to Thee, Set the injured negro free. Lo! in faith we turn to Thee, Set the injured negro free.

     "Let the sighing of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve them that are appointed to die." - Psal. 1xxix. 11.
