DIR. HoGE's LECTURE AT MOZART HALL
THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.-Rev.
Moses D. Hoge, D. D., at Mozart Hall last
night delivered, for the benefit Of the La
dies Benevolent Society Of the Second Pres
bvterian church, lecture entitled "The
Land of the Midnight Sun, and other parts
of Scandinavia" embodying observations
made during an extensive tour in northern
Europe last summer. DR.. Hoge was pre-
sented to the crowded audience by Governor
Holiday. He commended the lecturer and
bis theme, and likewise the object to which
the funds raised were to be applied by the
society-Hampden-Si College. DR..
Hoge rapidly sketched the history OF
the Scandinavian people, and pointed
out with scholarly skill the impress they
had made upon the habits, customs, and
manners Of England and Scotland, and
which we had in considerable degree In
herited from our British ancestors. He
briefly described the cities Of Copenhagen
and Christiana, and gave some interesting
pictures Of home-life in Denmark, with de-
tails that were new to many OF his hearers,
and commanded the attention of ALL. The
government, modes of travel, condition OF
the people, and some of their traditions and
superstitions, and many other matters OF
interest concerning country but seldom
touched by the feet Of American tourists,
were eloquently referred to.
The Doctors visit was extended north
erly to ATTITUDES where in summer the eve-
ming vapors blend with the morning mists
and sunrise follows quick upon sunset.
His splendid resources Of language and skill
full word-paintIng were, successfully en-
ployed in revealing to the audience the g!o-
rious wonders OF nature as he saw them in
this "Land Of the Midnight Sum-"
The lecture occupied about an hour and
a quarter in delivery, and, though thor
oughly instructive and addressed to the
thought and considerate attention of the
hearers, had in it some exquisite touches OF
humor, and a number OF popular lllustra-
tions and anecdotes.
DR.. Hoge indicated his purpose, il time
at his command allows, to prepare another
lecture, which shall include much that will
refer to the sculptures OF Thorwalsden.

RICHMOND, March %, IS

RICHMOND, March 90, 1873.
My Dear Madam Your letter OF the 9th
instant in regard to the supply OF Bibles
for the penitentiary Sabbath school was
duly received. You have for a long time
manifested an active interest in the female
department OF our school, and was glad
that an opportunity was afforded few Sab
baths since to mention in your presence to
the Christian ladies in attendance the de-
mand for an increased supply Of Bibles and
Testaments for our school. In former years
a large supply OF Bibles was furnished by
the Virginia Bible Society, but for the last
few years, in consequence OF the limited
resources OF this Society, the supply has
been very small. Under these circum-
stances I applied through friend in New
York to the American Bible Society, but
was referred to the Virginia Society. L
then appealed to the various Sabbath schools
of this city, and have been able to obtain a
small number OF secondhand Bibles and
Testaments. No provision has been made
by the Commonwealth OF Virginia for sup
plying the prisoners with the Word OF COD.
AS q reformatory measure KNOW OF no
better means than an abundant supply OF
Bibles for the prisoners and faithful pre-
seutation Of Gospel truth through the Sab
bath-school teacher. The prisoners are most
attentive and apparently deeply interested
in religious instruction. Many have MADE
profession Of religion. Q
/ feel confident that an appeal TO the hdies
OF our city will result in an abundant sup
| ply of Bibles and in an increased attend
ance of teachers in our Sabbath schools.
Last Sabbath received ten Bibles through
the kindness OF Mrs. W.; and found that
there were sirty cells in which there We're
no Bibles. The prisoners, when they Leave
the uenitentiary, generally carry their blbles
with them, and consequently We would re.
auire annually about 200 copies TO meet tue
regular demand after they have oil been
once supplied.
With many thanks for kind assistance, !
am, yours very truly,
WILLIAM r. MUNF0RD,
Superintendent, dc.
