Tx SAVIOR AND HIS FRIESDs--0ur
Lord, in the days of His flesh, encountered
various classes Of enemies, but none of these
ever iDsluded woman. On the contrary,
the geBtIer sex always appear to have
been his followers or friends. Not only
and they, as have often been ssid, the last
at His cross aud the drst at His ,sepulcher,
but throughout they ninistered to His
wants. A woman annointed him for His
burial; a hesthen womeB interceded for
HIS life with her husband, PLATE; women
bewailed aud I6mented Him as He went TO
Calvary to woman he first appeared
when lie rose again. All this was most
fittiDg, since of woman He was born, and 10
whom His Gospel was not only means Of
salvation, but a source of domestic and so
cial elevation for the present life.

The report OF the Corresponding Secretary
presented a review of the efforts which have
been hsde during the past year by the So
ccty. Besides the number of copies OF the
Scriptures distributed in the usual fields sup
piled through its agency, there have been
over ten thousand copies of the New Testa-
ment, and nearly five hundred copies of the
Bible, distributed among the soldiers who
have been in the camps in the vicinity OF our
city. In view of this, perhaps more good has
been accomplished through the agency Of
this Society during the past than any previ-
Gus year. The report was a we'll written
document, and contained much interesting
matter with reference to the great work in
which the Society is engaged.
The reports were, on molten, adopted.
Addresses we're made by Reys. NJ. l.. P.

An application having been made from

The practice of hasty, ill-iounded attacks
upon the officers of our army, through ths
Dewspap6Ts, can not be.t0o msch cen6ured.
Editors and reporters are not always COM
peient 20 criticize the management of mill
tsry affairs. Newspapers Sod their way into
the different camps. Soldiers read aud
think, apd sometimes pat too much faith in
the opinions of uneasy grumbling, eoaceited
editors. Lack of confidence in their officers
is thus produced in ths,rsnEs, and more real
harm done by an i'll advised or malicious
attack upon an Officer, than by thousand
of the eneBy's bayoDets.

of horses should at once have their animals

humanity to rough shoe the animals and
secure them from falling, should at least con-
suit their own interest, and prevent injury
