Addresses delivered, 245. TO accomplish
their aTdu0us work they have had to travel
400 miies-surmOuut trlals-endure fatigue
suffer priyations-travel By night and by
day. across praiTies, through the openings and
wood lands IN the winters cold and sum
mer's heat.
From this interesting scene and account of
progress made in the blessed work, the COM
miJtee are reminded that an equally important
duty devoIyes on them. 10 spread out before
this Union the present Sabbath School wants

in training to become moral and viTtuous citi-
zens, and heirs to an inheritance beyond the
skies.
The question may be asked. where are

mind must be in our border settlements, in
the county Of Door, Ocouto, Outagamie, Wan
paoca, Waushara, Adams, Portage, Marathon,
La Crosse, and Bad AK
Il IS true that painful pictures Of destitution
and loud cries, come over from the west and
north west, from the " iseonsin River, from
La Crosse and the Pineries, and down from
the Fox, the Wolf and the Oconto Rivers
