Bible Cause in Indiana.
Year ending March 31st, 1s63.-We
have received circular from the agent
of the American Bible Society for Ind-
ana, giving detailed statement of its
operations for the year ending on the
3lst of March last, With "a request to
publish the same. It's great length pre-
vents MS from complying with the re-
quest, but we make room for the follow
ing extract from the circular:
70 s.By careful perusal of this our sec
ond annual report, it will be seen that
the Bible cause is advancing in our State
and is now very important work, and
1T conmends itself to all Christians and
to all phiIanthr opists. The cities of Ind
annapolis, Evansville, Lafayette, Terre
Haute and Laporte have been canvassed
with very satisfactory results, while
large number of counties have been ex-
plorcd with equally good results. The
whole amount raised in our State, and
paid to the American Bible Society, after
defraying the expenses of1agency and
incidentals, is little over $4,000,
which shows falling off from the pre-
yious year Of $4,000. This is in conse-
quence of the money pressure, and the
loss of two wheat crops in succession,
with other causes which contrib uted to
diminish the receipts; we hope however
the present year will be one of success,
and that a large increase will be the re-
| suit Of hard toll for our great work. Il
We commence another year with 1913
auxiliary Bible Societies and 525 Branch
Societies; total 64s Bible Societies in
our State; 1900 persons who sustain
official relations to these societies and
comprise the various Boards of Mana
gerss 1900 local or unpaid school dis
trict agents, whose work is gratuity,
and to whom we look for the accomplish
ment of great good in our work; about
! 1920 cooperating churches, with nearly
as many ministers, whose pulpits are al
ways open for the Bible Agent, and to
whom we are largely indebted for the
success of the past year, and to whom
we tender our heartful gratitude for every
favor, and ask in the name of Him W no
gave us the Bible, and in the name of the
American Bible Society, for contin1-
ance of the same ardent co operation.

ever--f such a thing were possible Some weeks
since he gave the Unon League, of New York, blast,
which his friends had hoped had relieved his stomach
of its nauseousneSs, and that they would be spared
any further exhibitions of bad temper at references
to his attempt to play the role of the phlanhropis on
the occasion referred to.They were, however, doomed
to disappointment. Almost every aiiuson to that
fortunate period in the Greeley history is to call
from him some harsh remark. His latest exploit in
poured in upon him by the various associations OF
the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the
country, who justly indignant at his attempt to
make treason respectable. and smooth with hon
led words the recent "unpeasan tness" between the
North and South. Here is what he has to say to the

I'VE denounce this new secret organization as in
imical to the Constitution and Union. 1t will be
sad day for our party when soldiers find no better
and dig up the bodies of the slain. The country
wants peace. and rest, and harmony and justice.
/ These want distracted country, that Offices
may be gained.--They would make America Mexico,
peace would be sent to sleep with Turks and infdels
and, instead OF Union they would the woeulest dl-
vision make that ever fell upon this cursed earth.

pered their lives in defence of the Government, while

and one that viii live in history will that earned
by the members of this patriotic organization, it will
be time enough for him to heap epithets upon them
and charge that they would make America Mexico.
