A MODEST OFFER FROM THE GOLD COAST.
1.1.0 TIM EDITOR OP TIM "SPIOTATOR.:1 Sta,—Here is a specimen of the correspondence which 0000.13- times reaches the office of a missionary society. It is encouraging to know that while our statesmen and Bishops at home are all trembling on the threshold of educational

DEAR SIR OR PATRER,—I have an information that there is unoccupied post at England which bears the name of Education Department. I have made an application this day for it. There- fore I beg you with Almighty God to look the application over, and forward it for me."
