| DR.. Bowman, President Of ksbury
University, was then introduced. He
began by telling the story of the camp
meeting minister who fed TO the woods
in dismay, exclaiming-of minister
who had commenced preaching SER
mon from the text: "Is there no balm
in Gilead." &C., ia advance of very
sensational sermon he expected to de
liver to the same congregation on the
same subject--a.hs has gone into my
balm of Giead." The Doctor said be
was free to confess that Ash1ry Univer-
sity was bis balm of Gilead. He in
dorsed all Mr.. Gillett had said about the
Biblical Institutes. The Methodist
Church had not hsen as active in pro-
mitigating educational enterprises as
she had been in other particulars, She
was behind other denomiuations in this
respect. But Methodists had always
favored educational movements, and
were doing wonders to-day. He then
gave a brief history of Methodist educa-
tional enterprises. They had only been
fairly in the 6eld for about 80 years,
yet to-day they nnmbeEed rs Colleges,
70 Academies and Ssminaries, and IT.
600 pupiIs He then showed The inti-
mate relations these literary Institutions
held to the Church, and their power in
securing the conversion Of souls. DR..
Bowman's address was listened to with
great interest. After he was through,
the benedietion was pronounced.

from the State Department shows the
entire rebel strength, east of the Miss

was lO2, 900, and west OF the Mississip-
pi, $4,000 Lees army was 1000.
Hood lost 29 500 in his Tennessee cam
paign.
In the testimony before the rebel
Senate, January oath, 1865, Lee said
that the Confederacy had not troops
enough to last till midsummer. By free
ing and arming the negroes they might
carry on the war year longer. The
sentiment of the army was almost unan-
imous for peace. He was willing o
take the army position assigned him,
but no human power could save the
cause. The best solution Of their difi-
eulties was peace on Stephens plan.
