SOLDIERS REUNIoN.-The reunion of
veterans at Portland this week has been
most successful and pleasant occasion.
large crowds were in attendance, and all
seemed to enter into the real spirit of the
celebration. The patriotic and interesting
speeches Of the distinguished speakers
were heard by large crowds. No State
sent better or drawer men TO the war
than the good old State OF Maine. 1t was
with a just feeling ofpride that Gov. Plais-
ted claimed for the soldiers Of our State
the distinction ''that from Bull Run to APP
pomatox, the beginning TO the close ofthe
conflict, no flag of Maine regiment was
ever captured and held five minutes by the
enemy" One of the most pleasant fea-
lures of the reunion was the meetings OF
the different regiments. Many old comrades
in arms clasped hands for the first time
since the close of the war. Stories of the
camp, the march and the battle were relat-
ed, and many incidents of Of the days of
the war recalled 20 memory. The old vet
Grams evidently had a most enjoyable time.

IS 1T RELIGION?

"Aud the time will come, and 1t Is very
near us now, when the teachers OF religion

Such, Mr.. Editor, are the teachings oil a
professed religious newspaper. Such the
teachings ola protested christian minis

finders, grumblers and soreheads In the
religious world rs we'll rs in every other
department OF human life. But the Bible
has been too instinctively interviewer
with the material progress of the last
eighteen hundred years, it is too closely
allied TO the best thought and the highest
civilization Of the present age TO be lightly
brushed aside.
The above is not an isolated or a stray
item cullcd from the paper alludedto. II is a
rehash OF the teachings of one who but re-
Gently occupied two pulpits in this I'M

nreacher of the gospel Of Christ, and taught
from this same Bible whose teachings are
no longer to be defended as being either

now. was it any the less SO when Mr.. Sietz
taught the people from it, pages and com
