i FROM TUE CHRISTIAN GUARDIAN, j LETTER FROM THE HV. T. AVHITEIIEAD TO I THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. 1 The following letter is from the oldest min1 ister belonjrinr to the Methodist itinerant connectiou in Canada. It manifests a sprightlii ntsss of mind not common at sixty-five or seventy years of age. It speaks (much for the I cheerfulness of the woru out pilgrim on the I verge of a better, though to mortal eye, invisible, country. Tho following letter contains
an account of a missionary tour which Mr. Whitehead has lately made to the town of Godcrich, on the south shore of Lake Huron . The geographical sketches,scveral circumstances mentioned, as well as remarks on pas-
j s'wg occurrences, are interesting, sometimes
amusing, ouch a tour undertaken in old age, is a practical comment on a verie of Mr. Whitehead's favorite hymn: " Happy if v. ith my latest breath, I may but gssp His name; 1'iea: h liir.i to all, ami cry in death,
