The Hon. r. NJ. Bishop:
DEAR SIR-In your proclamation of the

of the yell w fever suffers, you called upon
all Chris tian people 10 assemble on the 18th in
their respective churches to offer up prayers
to Almighty God to alleviate the sufferings of
the south. Did you mean by the use of the
term, "Christian people" to invite to prayer
for the alienation OF a national calamity only
those citizens of Ohio who profess and recog-
nize the principles of the Christian religion?
Respectfully,

Messrs. Daniel Wolf and B. Simon:
DEAR SIRs-Your communication of this
date was received by me with considerable
surprise. My Object in recommending day
of prayer for the alienation of the scOurge
which is now affecting the south was simply
TO secure the united Invocation to Almighty
God of all who believed in and recognized His
goodness and mercy, that He would interpose
His omnipotent power, which alone could
serve to stay the progress of the terrible
Scourge which was devastating q large
portion of our common country. The word
"ChriStian" was used Dy me only general
term intending to embrace all who recognized
and relied upon divine protection in the hour
of need and was by no means intended to eX.
clude any one of any sex, creed, belief or faith
plague, and least of all to exclude the people
of whom you are mem Oers who are recognized
and illustrious for deeds of mercy and charity.
Respectfully, RICHARD NJ. BISHOP,
Governor of the State of Ohio.
