Which report was received and
adopted.
Rev. d. L. Buttolph, President,
made the following rep ort:
We are permitted, in the proyi-
dence of God, to meet together on
the twenty-eighth anniversary Of
the Marietta Bible Society, to con
suit and act for its maintenance and
usefulness during another year.
1t would be pleasant and profita-
BILE to review its history during the
past twenty seven years, but even
then we could give only . collection
Of dry facts and statissics; we could
not tell the good which it has done.
This ia known only to God, and il
will be fully revealed to US, when the
least results Of al. human instrument
talities are brought to light.
We might show approximately
how many homes had been lighted
up, which otherwise would have
been less in almost heathenish dark>
ness, but we could not tell how many
immortal souls had been guided,
through the fundamentally Of this
Society, tohope, and happiness, and
heaven.
There are several reasons which
commend this Society to the love
and active corporation Of every
christian and phiIanthropist.
LIST. This Society does q good
work noiselessly and without obser-
walton,
1t makes but one ripple upon the
public mind during the year, and
then no more is heard Of il till the
next anniversary comes round. =
But all through the days and weeks
and months Of the year 1t is accom-
plishing it's appropriate work, IN
furnishing the destitute with the
bread Of life, and, with Gods bless
ing, preparing Them for q blissful i'm
mortality.
This Society does its work silent
", as the gentle dew, falling upon
the parched earth, refreshes the
tender plants, which drink in the
moisture: or as the morning sun
sends it's beams of tight upon dark.
ened world, dispensing Ito darkness.
I'd. This Society furnishes a plat
form on which all evangelical chris
,ians may work together in bar
mony. II is as catholic as the BIZ
BILE.
1t is az disinterested as the gospel.
II seeks not to build up any one per-
ticular church, but to give to all
men that knowledge which is neces-
sary to salvation.
II circulates the Bible without
note or comment, leaving every one
TO adopt that creed and torn Of wor-
ship, most agreeable to his own con-
science.
Upon the broad platform of the
American Bible Society oil christians
can stand and work together without
jar Or jealousy.
This has been the case in the past
and we see nothing now that threat
ems to mar harmonious action in the
future.
Sd. Christianity is now passing
through an eventful crisis.
Never did in6delity array itself in
SO formidable panopIy as it has
now put on.
Never was it so bold, and out,
spoken. and defiant as at present.
Never did it seek to do what it doe,

ART MATTERS.

The Haseltine collection of pictures, now on
exhibition at the Leavitt Art Gallery, we'll deserves
q visit from such as are Interested in art. There
In the collection quite large number OF paint
ings OF unusual merit and examples by men whose
works ara nat much known in this country though
their names are familiar In art circles. Among
others, there ls q remarkably strong landscape by
Wahlberg; very brilliant water color by Cipriani,
which Is so solid and rich in color it looks at FIRST
sight ike an oil painting. Ferrari, OF Rome has
painting exhibiting some OF the best qualities
Of the new Italian school wisely tempered by the
influence Of French art. II represents
group in q park in the costume OF
the last century, and is full OF dramatic
power. The most striking works are an
seduction in the good old days BY Tissot, and
group o< peasant children, BY Corrodi, seated
IN an old arch, with 9 view OF the
landscape scene beyond. The. naturalness,
strength and beauty OF this work entlte 1t TO
high consideration. There are also q strong cat
tie picture by. Van MancK. and beautifully
painted woman's head by May. The fine model
ling OF the woman's head and the admirable fresh
ness Of the color present qualities not often found
in works VI this class. The exhibition is open to
the public, and can be visited daily. 1t Is well
worth seeing.
