OF keeping alive the memories of those who
gave their life for their country. Proceeding,
he briefly recapitulated the causes which led
to the rebellion-the irrepressble confiic,
between freedom and slavery-until 90 wears
ago two civilizations stood face to face on
the battle field to settle the question OF
whether the nation should live or not; the
issues settled forever by the war; the future

duties of the survivors of the conflict and
their contemporaries. AT the conclusion OF
his strong address, Capt Pitman was the
recipient of a round of hearty applause. The
procession returned to the Home. where the

a fine climax to the afternoons exercises,

people. Togus is now in the height of its

American Bible society.

The board of managers of the American
Bible Society is about undertaking the fourth
general supply of the United States with the
Holy Scriptures. The first supply dates at
1880, when the entire population was II. =
o66, 5000; the second was in 1856, when the
people numbered 26,50O, 900: the third was
made in 1866, reaching 100000; and the
fourth, which is now in hand, is intended to
reach 81, 200, 900 inhabitants. 1t is claimed
that the work now proposed is the largest dis
tribution of the Scriptures ever attempted in
any land. And the fact that. in the last ten
years. out of 5,206,3S3 families visited by the
society's agents. 123, IA were without Bibles,
shows that it is not work of supererogation
The society makes a general appeal to the
educated public in behalf of this work, which
we hope will meet a generous response
Whatever animadversions may have been Of
fered as to its administration in other respects,
none will question that this is an undertaking
eminently worthy of it.
