1926 volumes.

More than 81, 500 of little books and tracts for
encampments, and larger books for hospital
libraries. from the Boston Tract Society, and
over 36,0 900 tracts from the New York Tract
Society, have also been appropriately and care: @
and boxes specially directed, and from local
organizations or personal friends, have also
been forwarded to their proper destinations.
And this whole work is in daily and accelerated
progress. New sources Of supply are being
opened.
This work, primarily conducted by the ten
superintendents of divisions in behalf, and at
the request, of the Washington City Bible So
ciety, in cooperation with the chsplains, had, ,
months ago, become so augmented and diffused
as to require, not only all the active co.opera
tion here referred to, but the entire time and
efforts of member from New York for months
past, and others from Philadelphia for a shorter
time.
The oppressive magnitude of the work is,
however, now such as to call for the general
cooperation of all kindred associations, and
the institution of Il "Christian commission !"
for the purpose of taking charge of this entire
work, which is proposed to be attained through
a general convention OF associations. On last
Saturday, at large, perhaps the largest meet.
ing of chaplains at any time held, this idea OF
Christian commission was approved, and a
committee appointed TO communicate or con-
fer with the convention when in session.
In addition to this general work, in which 1t
is the manifest duty of this Association to con-
tinue to bear a part. there would appear, 1t
was suggested, local field which it is the spe.
cial province and duty of this Association to
cultivate; and, in view of certain facts stated.
it was suggested that the greatest activity Of
the Association would be promoted, and the
greatest amount Of good accomplished by sus-
tanning and cooperating with a local mission.
ary who should be minister of the Gospel.
The plan suggested for the creation of a sus-
tentation fund, which was also approved and
deemed entirely practicable, was by each
han nfrih ihnfin m NIL bIlI
This plan would not only provide the necessary
salary for the support of the missionary, but
also for the purchase Of requisites tor carrying
on such a work.
Earnest and impressive addresses were sub.
sequently made, and appropriate resolutions
adopted as heretofore stated; and the result OF
the meeting was a decided impulse to active
Christian and phanthropic efforts.

Young Mems Chrl.t,an Association.

[Since the publication of the very briefnotice
of the last meeting of this Association, we have
received the following sketch, which, as it con.
tans many interesting facts not before pub
The regular monthly meeting Of this Associa.
tiOn was held In the roems on Monday evening,
and a most interesting meeting II proved. The
report Of the President presented an encour-
aging resume of the operations of the Assoca
tion during the past Tonth.
The appeal to the churches of the city had
In part been respondet to hvorably, and In
other cases promises of liberal aid had been
made. The treasurer had reported all the in.
debtedness of the Association cancelled, except
a small amount advanced or loaned by mem
bers Tho ordinary and necessary expenses
in maintaining the Association, are now re-.
duced to the most economical standard con.
sistent with the maintenance OF the present
desirable rooms and central location; and the
belief was expressed that the Association, in
its efforts to do good, and properly to cultivate
the extraot dinary fields of usefulness evidently
indicated as appropriate by Providence, will
be sustained by the community.
The rooms are regularly kept open week.
days from nine A. NJ, until ten P. NJ, and in
addition to the library of 1900 volumes, are
supplied with good number of periodicals,
reviews igious weeklies, all the daiIies of the
city, and some from other points, the use OF
all which is obtainable for the very small sum
OF two dollars per year.
The Sabbath School interest is maintained,
IL Is UelcNou, Ill consequence VI ToCeHt
movements, will shortly be extended, espe-
cially in the western part of the city. e..
The Saturday evening lecture and biblical
instruction Is maintained with regularity and
increasing interest. In the language of the re.
port, "We cannot too highly commend this
course to all who would become intelligent stu
dents of the Bible, under the leadership of one
who, not only by long and diligent study, but
by personal observation In Bible lands, is pre-
pared to explain and illustrate the subjects Of
which he speaks"
The decease, during the last month. Of two
members of the Asseciaton-Samuel B. Waite
and VIM. Fishbaugh-was noticed in appro.
pirate terms.
Tue work of distribution mainly from the
principal depository-Mr. Balantyne's store
No. 49s Seventh street-may be summed up
thus:
1921 copies Of the New Testament in English
l,347 copies ofthe New Testament, in German
1857 copies of the New Testament and Book
of Psalms.
70 copies of the New Testament, In French

Scr ofula, or Kings Evil,

IS Constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervadcs tho whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor IS there one which it NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is vuriously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, tltk
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above all, by tile vGlcreal infection. What
ever be its origin, it IS hereditary in the con
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation - indeed
1t seems to be the rod of Him who SAYS, -
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter. which, IL
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclts; in the glands, swellings; and OH
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gende-s in the blood dcpresses

ti0ns not only suffer from scrofuous COM
plants. but they have far les power to with
stand the attacks OF other diseases conss-
qucntly, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulOuS in their nature,
are stA rendered fatal by this tant in the

climates the human family has its origin directly
IN this -crotulous contamination and masy
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
