NEUROLOGY.
During the past year five of the Corporate
Members of the Board have deceased:
Leonard Bacon, D. D., LII. D., elected in
1912; Charles Benedict, ESQ.,, elected in 1870;
Frederic Marquand, Esq, elected in 1871;
John B. Eldridge, Esq, elected in 1873, =
all of Connecticut; and Rev. ]. II. Coulter,
of Pennsylvania, elected in 1872.
DR.. Bacon was with us for the last time at
our meeting at Syracuse, in 1879, rendering
his usual efficient service in the deliberations
of the meeting, presiding at the Sacramento
table, and closing the farewell session OF
Friday morning, after the parting hymn,
with the benedictiou. There was something
in his manner in this concluding service,
which suggested TO more than one that in
his own thought it was not improbably bis
final adicu to those great annual gatherings,
In which, during his long and active min
istry, lac had held so prominent place.
To these names we add one which should
have been included in the neurology of 1881 :
Andrew L. Grimes, Esq, of Ohio, elected in
1869. We also append the names of Enoch
Pond, d. D., of Maine, elected in 1882, who
resigned his trust in 1879; and of Alvsn
Bond, d. D., of Connecticut, elected in
1912, who resigned in 1881, both of whom
Closed their prolonged and useful lives dur
ing the past year.
1t may be appropriate also that mention
should be made Of the recent deaths of two
distinguished gentlemen who, as United
States Ministers at the Sublime Porte, while
resident at Constantinople, rendered valu-
able service to our Turkish missions: Hon.
George P. Marsh, Ii. d., (l) who was min
lister during the years 1S49 to 1858; and Hon.
Horace Maynard, Ill. D., ~ whose term OF
office included the years from 1876 to 1880.
Q) Ina letter OF Mr. Marsh, in reply to an in
vitation to be present at the annual meeting
of the Board in 1856, he gives the following
testimony to his estimate OF our missionary
work.
"Altnough could have added nothing to
the facts of which the Board and the religious
public are already possessed, yet should have
taken special pleasure in bearing testimony
| as an eye witness, 10 the value and importance
| of the missionary efforts iD the East, and the
| eminent piety, zaal, learning, and ability oil
| the immediate agents of the Board in that
| great 81 ierprise The success of these efforts
| to carry back to their original source the
| lights OF Christianity and civilization is not
| to be measured by the results apparent tc
distant observers; and however familiar
American CHRISTIANS may be with the statisti
cal data of missionary movements in the
Turkish Empire, the vast significance of those
| facts can only be- appreciated by personal
acquaintance with the field of operations
| The action of tue missionaries has, l believe,
| thus far not been impeded by the events Of
the war. If that action were now to be sus
pended, still the seed already sown could not
| fail to yield harvest that would amply re
ipay the sacrifices it has cost to American liber

THE OPENING SESSION.

The spectacle at the opening session was
impressive. The hall was nearly filed be-
fore the hour appointed for the gathering,
and by three O'Clock every seat was taken
and the corridors crowded with listeners.
On the broad platform the officers and other
eminent men of the Board were to be seen,
while the foremost rows of seats were occu-
pied by missionaries, bronzed and grey
bearded, from the four quarters of the
globe. Behind these were the visitors, ear
nest and devoted Christian workers, from
all parts Of the country.

Warriors and their Ages.

American army officers whose superb
OrS, or the ,uperors Of whose superiors,
have attained to the age Of 81 are now
trembling with excitement lest the Sen
ate should fail TO act on the bill retiring
all officers al that age. There seems to
be no opposition TO the scheme, and
there is little fear that the bill will fail
if it ever gets before the Senate, but
Senator Logan illness has caused some
delay. OF course there is no specific
ace at which an officer becomes incapa
BILE Of performing his duties, and where
there is masked disability officers are
retired now without regard to age But
ii is claimed that the young officers
ought to have better chance for pro-
motion than they now have, and there
is a good deal of force in the argu-
ment that if retirement We're COM
pulSory in the army, as it is in the
navy, there would be less room than
there now is for favoritism. At the age
of 81 few officers have any long period
of possible activity before them, If one
are is to be determined on for all, that
is perhaps as fair and reasonable an age
as any. But an officer Of low grade
is really superannuated earlier than an
officer of high grade; that is the du-
ties of general aud q captain differ SO
that there is quite as much reason for
retiring captain at 53 as there s for
retiring general at 81, This plan of
retirement on sliding scale seems to
have received little or no attention in
Congress. The retired list of the Amer
lean army was headed with no less il
lustrious name than that Of General
Winfield Scott, who was IS when the
civil war began There was no doubt
about his approximation then, but he
reached the fatal age of 81 during the
Mexican war. when he showed no scri

or Admiral Farragut was 60 when the

u compulsory retirement law in 1863 it
would not have been applied to him,

Cardigan was 81 when he led thchistor-
| ic charge of the six hundred into the
valley of death. Marlborough was 80
at Blcnheim. Lord Raglan died dur
inc the Crimean war at the age of 81, y
fact that may be used as an argument
in favor OF retirement at 81. But Beno-
dek was 50 ut Sadowa, which by similar
reasoning would Indicate the propriety
of retiring officers at 60. Prince Wind
ischgratz was vigorous enough when at
the age of 81 he led the Austrian Army
against the Hungarian patriots. Wei
lington and Napoleon were only l6w when
they terminated their military careers
at Waterloo. Manuel de In Concha,
