SHORT, But PERTINENT SPEECH
The most remarkable speech ever made
by presiding officer was recently deliv-
cred in Florida. The man who made
it is member of the Legislature, and
he was called to the chair unexpectedly
at convention of his constituents.
Here it is in full: "You know / can't
make a speech. We came here for
something else. / hope you will not
make asses of yourselves and break up
the party" 1t is safe to say more good
advice was never crowded in SO short a
space.

ATTACK ON MooDY AND SANKEY.-At
a meeting of New York ministers on
Monday, the subject of evangelists was
discussed, and bitter attack was made
on Moody and Sankey by Rev. John
Johns, of the Tabernacle Church. Rev
DIR. Stephen II. Tying, Jr., who con-
ducts revival services in the gospel tent,
he stigrnatized as an "ape." and his
system OF evangelism he called "religl-
Gus trickery." The speaker who fol
lowed Mr.. Johns spoke of the latter
attack on Moody and Sankey and Mr..
Tying as being very mean.

AN CHuRcn IN rIiE SoUTH-OvERTUREs
TOWARD UNIoN.-Thc minutes of the
tenth convention of this general body,
held at Stauntou, Va, in May last, have
heen placed in our hands, from which
we extract the following, as indicating
the sentiment of the church in the
South toward the general bodies OF Lu-
therans in the North.
1t will be remembered that the church
es comprising this body, prior to the
war, were in connection with the seen.
Synod in the United States but organ
lied themselves into a separate body
soon after the outbreak of hostilities.
There have existed up to the present
time, certain barriers to reunion, all Of
which it is contemplated will soon be
removed.
We find the following on page q,
presented by Rev. J. j. Miller, of the
Synod of Mississippi
Whereas, We believe, that there are
many Lutherans and Lutheran families
in Europe and the North who would
be glad to locate in the South, and
Whereas, We would be glad to have
them as citizens of our country and as
members of our churches, and
Whereas, We are friends OF lmml-
grafton, and would be glad to have the
wild aud waste lands Of the South
brought into cultivation, therefore,
Resolved, That we extend the hand
of welcome, as brethren of same faith,
to all good Lutherans in other parts OF
the world and invite them to come to
our South land, and be with Us, and OF
us.
Resolved, That we extend this vel
come and this invitation to all good,
honest hard working, protestant people
in every part of the world.
The Synod also adopted the follow
ing, which we find on page 49,
Whereas, 1t is eminently desirable
that the adherents to the unaltered
Augsburg Confession in the United
States be more closely related than they
arc at present, and
Whereas, We believe, that such close
fellowship would greatly advance the
Lutheran faith in our beloved land, and
thereby contribute to the glory OF God,
and the salvation of souls, therefore,
Resolved, That we send a delegate
bearing the traternal greetings OF this
body to the next session OF the General
Council of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America; and also delegate
to the next session of the General Syn
cd of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in the United States Of America, on
condition that any existing resolutions
of the latter body compromising the
Christian character of the ministers and
churches represented by this General
Synod be rescinded.
The Synod also adopted the follow
ing, which we find on page 90
Resolved, That, with the view to
promote uniformity in worship and
strengthening the bonds OF unity
throughout all our churches, the com
mittee on the Revision Of the Book OF
Worship, be instructed to confer with
the Evangelical Lutheran General Syn
cd in the United States, and with the
Evangelical Lutheran General Council
in America, in regard to the feasibility
of adopting but one Book containing the
same hymns and the same order OF Ser
vices and Liturgic forms to be used in
the public Worship of God in all the
English speaking Evangelical! Lutheran
Churches of the United States

THB SfoRM AT PIBDMoNf, W. Va
The STORM at Piedmont, VIVA, on
Sunday, was very severe, the waters be-
ing higher than ever known. The Da-
Wis bridge, over the North Branch, near
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad shops,
was swept away. A span of the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's bridge went with it; also span
of thecouuty bridge, as well as the bridge
from Westernport to Hendrlckson
Islands. The lowerportton of the town
was completely inundated. Women and
children ran about partly clad, not
knowing what to do, all fleeing to the
mountains. The water carried away the
flood gate of Livingston's mill at Bloom
ington, and with it some $4,000 logs.
The loss is estimated from $4,000 to
$4,000. The immense force Of water
with floating timber broke the boom at
Dayis's mill above the town, also the
embankment at their basin, which was
filed with logs. The Messrs. Davis
had some 10000 logs in the river, all
of which passed by, together with some
100000 feet of lumber. Their loss will
not be less than $4,000. The loss OF
the Cumberland Piedmont railroad is
estimated at $4,000.

History of the 1O5th Regiment.

Having gone to considerable trouble TO
furnish for "Bistory ofthe Pennsylvania
Volunteers" at the request of the Stat.
Historian, a sketch of the ln5th P, V. we
found that owing to the abridgment of that
work, very little of the data furnished was
count of the regiment was given. We then
yielded to the urgent request of members
and friends of the 105th, and agreed to
finish and publish a complete "History Of
the 10jthn in book form. In 1873 we had
the work almost ready for publication, but
owing 20 circumstances beyond our control,
we were obliged to defer publishing it at
that time. But We have now concluded to
finish it, and having completed arrange
ments for its publication as soon as the
work can be carefully revised it will be put
in the publishers hands.
The work is designed to be a full history
of all the battles, marches, &c., participa
ted in by the regiment; with a personal
record of each man, biographical sketches
OF all tue OlUcerS, anu copies OF ali OlllClal
reports as copied from the originals at
Washington. IL is our desire to make the
work complete, truthful and impartial
history of the regiment; one that every
member of the regiment will be proud to
hand down to his children. Then, soldiers
of the l05th, we call upon you to aid us by
at once sending US any fact, incidents, or
antidotes relating to yourselves, your COM
rades, or the regiment in general. Look
up your old letters, diaries, &c, and send
us all the data you can before we make a
final revision of the work. 1t is your his
tory we are writing and we ask your all 10
enable us to give you credit for all the glory
you won.
The work will contain full page port rats
Of Coils Mcknight and Craig, Lieutenant
Greeuawalt, and two or three others of the
line officers, and already twelve portraits
for groups are promised, 1t is necessary
that the officers decide at once concerning
portraits, as the work is now ready for a
final revision. all data must be sent in
within twenty days. r. NJ. SCOTT.
