Mr.. CamerOn's Address.

The following were the remarks of
Senator Cameron on calling the Ma
tional Republican Convention to order:
Gentlemen of the Convention. ask your at
tention for single moment. During the can
vGss just ended there has been manifested in
many sections of the country considerable
bitterness lcries of "Luuder!l which trust
will entirely disappear before entering upon
the grave duties deyOlving upon us.
[" LOudcrVl Let there be but one motive
governing our action and let that be a deter
possible candidate. Loud appause.l Men
sTrOng In themselves, men strong in the conf
dence and affections of the people, and men
who will command the respect of the civilized
world. [Appausc.l
Our country, of which we are Justly proud,
has grown so rapidly in population and wealth
and influence during the existence of the Re
publican party, that we have attained a posi-
lion as one of the leading powers of the world.
We can no longer be satisfied with our isOla-
tion. Recognizing the changed condition we
mHst place in position men whose familiarity
with other Nations will enable them to direct
our affairs so that we will take the lead in
commerce, as we have in agriculture and in
manufacture. DO not for moment doubt the
strength of our institutions. They have been
tried In blood and came from the contest bet
ter, stronger purer than the most al dent pa-
trot dared 10 hope for. [Applause.l No COM
bnatiOn of circumstances, no COterie of indt-
vduals, no personal ambition, can ever pre-
vail against the intelligence and the inborn
love of liberty which arc implanted in the
breasts of Americans. LApplaJsel When the
nominations are made and the Convention has
completed its work, let there be but one senti-
ment animating all earnest, sincere and I'M
selfish Republicans, and let that be that each
through tho coming contest to victory Jap

The Circulation Of the Bible.

THE work of distributing the Bible
in all countries was continued during
the past year on an extensive scale
and at great cost. At its annual meet
ing on Thursday the American Bible
Society, which, with the exception of
the British and Foreign Bible Society,
is the greatest agency for the diffusion
of the Scriptures in the world, reported
its receipts for the year as over $685.
600. OF this sum more than S35l, 200
came from legacies and other gifts.
Nearly three-fifths of the receipts,
therefore, were expended in giving
away Bibles.
The society issued during the year a
total of 1856, ,039 volumes, which con-
tanned the whole or parts of the Scrip
lures, and of these 272, 179 were circu-
lated in foreign lands. Since the soci-
ETY. was organized, siXty-four years ago,
its issues have amounted to more than
37,000,000.
The British and Foreign Bible Soci-
ETY., which was established thirteen
years earlier, has distributed about
eighty or ninety millions of Bibles, Test
taments, or portions; and if we add the
number circulated by the five other
leading Bible societies of the world
the Scotch, Hibernian, Prussian, Wur-
temberg and Netherlands find that
more than 1000, 600 of the Scriptures
have been scattered over the world
since the beginning of the century by
these associations. And this enormous
total does not represent the whole
number issued, for there are seventy
Bible Societies in the world, though
many of them conine themselves to the
distribution of the issues of those we
have named, and private publishers
have sent many millions of volumes
into the market. Perhaps we should
not be far wrong if we estimated that
200, 900, 900 copies of the Bible or books
of the Bible had already been issued
from the press during the nineteenth
century.
We see, therefore, that the dissemina-
ton ofthe Scriptures has been very thor
Ough, and that of all the means used
by the Protestant churchesfo forthe spread
of Christianity the circulation Of the
text book on the faith has received the
most attention.
The great American Bible Society has
already translated the Scriptures into
many tongues, but it is steadily pro
ceeding in its work of making the Bi
| BILE accessible in all languages whatso.
ever. Where there is no written Ian
guage, its missionaries have construct
ed one for the purpose, the intent be

nacular 20 every human cronture. 10
that no one need be without the irht
Of its sacred page. 10 Is this aim that
30 greatly stimulates the devout TO lib.
eral contributions. A Bible for every.
body Is their watchward.
Last year the translation Of the Now
Testament into japanese was COM
pleted, and the work Of translating the
Old Testament was begun. The Ja-
panese are taking much interest in our
literature, according to all accounts,
but recent reports from English and
American professors engaged In their
schools and colleges indicate that they
show an avidity for our scientific the
Ories rather than for our Christian the.
Ology. They are a very skeptical peo-
pie, and the teachings Of our modern
philosophers have more fascination
for their students than our religious
dogmas. The New Testament, which.
it IS announced, is now ready for circu.
latiOn in Japan in various styles Of ty-
Biography, has, therefore, been antici.
pated by the Western philosophy antag-
onistic TO it.
The translation Of the Bible into sew
eral of the cOllOquial languages of
China has also gone on during the year,
but the Chinese are also showing moro
interest in our concrete science than in
our religion, and the work Of spreading
Christianity in that country has always
been exceptionally difficult and compar4
atiyely fruitless. In their schools they
are training young men TO assist in the
material development Of China by the
Chinese themselves, after the systems
in use in the West, but they are no
more inclined now to go TO school to
US to learn religion than they were
when Christian missions first began
their work in China.
The subiugated Zulus will soon have
the Bible of their conquerors printed in
the Zulu language. In India several
denominations are cooperating in trans
lating it into the Telugu dialect. A
Portuguese version Of the New Tesla
ment for Brazilian circulation has been
completed during the year. Two Of
the Gospels in the MuskOkee language
are now in the press. Editions of the
and of the Dakota BIZ
bic have been printed. A part Of Isaiah
has been put into Mpongwe, and the

8. Which Temple We Are. :,

A MAN who fails 10 appreciate rightly
the nature and value Of the individual
constitution which God has given him
is in error and sin, whether he despises
it because he is ignorant and brutal, or
because, in his own opinion, he is wise
and spiritual. Nothing in the Bible is
more strongly stated than that the soul,
mind and body Of man are worthy only
of the most honorable treatment. As
though to leave no possible doubt in
our minds that man, though fallen from
an estate Of innocence and sinlessness,
is yet to regard his earthly nature as a
holy gift Of his Maker, he Is told that
his body is the temple of the Holy
GhOst-a form Of expression whose
weight and whose distinctness Of
statement could not be increased.
When we cease TO respect our
selves we cease to respect God; and
the loss Of true self-respect is as truly a
cause Of sin as it is a consequence Of it.
If our souls are good for nothing, why
did God create them. why did the
Savior die for them, why does the
Spirit sanctify them? If our minds are
so dull and weak as to be worthy only
Of neglect and contempt, why do sacred
and secular history, the demands of
our best nature, and the whole law Of
growth in the universe, unite in de-
manding that we make the whole of
life one long opportunity for education?
If our bodies deserve no better treat
ment than the communist or the hyster-
ical eremite bestows upon them, why
do disease, and death, and sin that
earns eternal death, follow so instantly
in the train of serious violation of
sound laws of hygiene? He reads his
Bible wrong, and neglects the plainest
admOnitiOns on almost every page who
deems that righteous repentance and
establishment are synonymous with
loss of self-respect and OF a proper
care of one self
If we would honor the giver, we
must honor the gift If we would
show gratitude to God for the only en-
gine wherewith we can work for good
in this world, we must respect Him by
respecting ourselves. Our souls are
worthy of such treatment, and such
only, as God has told US to give them.
Our minds deserve the longest and
sincerest care and training, that 50
they may be best fitted for Gods work
in the world. Our bodies will rise in
swift and ruinous rebellion if we dc
not hold them in the service of Hin
who gave them; neither giving them
over to wicked riot, nor chaining them
in hopeless and degrading slavery.
Respect for one 5 self is found not in self
murder, whether it be wrought by the
brutal knave or by the misguided en-.
thusiast who thinks that self-destruc.
tion is self-sacritice. And Just so far,
in small things or great, as we forget
that we owe duty to Ourselves-a
duty in thought, word, act, or minutest
personal pOssessiOn-dO we tend tow.
ard one extreme or the other. Not in
drunkenness or rioting, not in selfish
isolation or insulting contempt of all
that we have and are, shall we fulfill
Cod will; but rather by such a spirit
ual and bodily self-respect as shall
make us feel that we are not our own,
but another's, and that in refusing tC
treat ourselves as we ought, we are
stealing from God that which is Hi:
