The friends Of Bowdoin College to make a
grand effort to raise ten thou sand dollars more
to establish a Longfellow Profcssorship in that in
stituton, in honor of Prof. III. w Longfeow, the
distinguished poet, The propriety of such a
movement is very evident, and it is expected that
the people of Portland will contribute literally
towards the project that city the birthplace
of the most distinguished poet in America and it
is highly proper that the name of Mr.. Longft How
should be permanently identified with the insttu-
ton where he laid the foundation Of his education
and his greatness. 1t would that at tn junct-
Of affairs the friends of the college would feel
inspired to make extra effort, for as we under
stand it, to make secure the $50 900 pledged, the
sum Of $40, 900 must be raised this week. Hon.
J. W. Bradbury Of this city, has the subscription
paper in his possession headed by his own liberal
contribution of 50 900, and followed by that of Mr.
Blaine (Sl500), with other names for lesser sums,
and he will make an effort this week to secure the
ten thousand dollars needed. We trust he may
have the fullest success.

A Wonderful Vision.
Mr.. Reuben p. Clark of this city, has handed
rs for publication the wonderful vision of Joseph
Hoag, who was an eminent minister of the So
ciety of Friends. The vision was supposed to
have been revealed in 1903, AMI it will be seen
that many of the events predicted have already
taken place
In the year 1903 in the Sth of 9th month l was
one day alone ia the field and observed the sun
shone clear, but mist ecpsed it's brightness. As
reflected upon the singularty of the event my
mind was struck into silence the most solemn
ever remember to have witnessed; for oil of my
faculties were low and unusually brought into
deep silence. / said to myself what can all this
meant l do not recollect ever before to have been
sensible Of such feelings and heard a voice from
Heaven saying:

land, and suffered dividing spirit to come among
them! Lift up thine eyes and behold"
And saw them dividing in great heat. This
division began in the Church points of doctrine.
And it commenced in the Presbyterian society and
went through the various religious denomina atoms,
and in its progress and close its effects the
same. Those that dissented went off with high
heads and haunting language; and those who kept
their original sentiments appeared exercised and
sorrowful. And when the dividing spirit entered
the Society OF Friends, it ragged in as high a de-
gree as in any i had before discovered Those
who kept to their ancient principles retired by
themselves.
