The annual camp meeting or Shenan'
doah Valley Assembly at Mt. Jackson viii
commences, as we arc informed, on August
18th. We earnestly hope that they will
not make the same mistake this year that
they have for the last few years-chargo
an admission fee to the grounds. This is
something new in the history Of Christian
relipion. The B.ble teaches that it 3
"without money and without price,
ON INV hand no price | bring
simply to Thy cross cling"
II this meeting is a show il should be
advertised as such, and then no one would
be surprised at an admission fee, but would
expect il. Last year a minister OF that
denomination passed the grounds and 10 a
sermon that night be said that as he pass
ed the thought forced itself upon ms min"
"None enter here free but the brass band
and the devil" VIII the managers per
NIT this reproach TO be cast upon tho
meeting this year. Ten cents is small
sum il is true, but do the managers ever
consider how many poor families are not
able to pay even that much and conse-
quently are declared from attending the
services Religion is the only thing ifee
m this world. Let 81 mo- longer bee SAID
that the United brethren Church have put
"a tax on even that.

Abraham Lincoln.

Among recent facts Of literary and pop
ular interest, is the announcement Of a
new Illustrated biography entitled "The
Everyday Life Of Abraham Lincoln. -
written by "Those who knew him" The
plan Of the work is that of an exhaustive
biography, giving not only the general
facts Of his life in chronological orler, but
incidents, anecdotes and orTy dag facts
infinitely persondi, snch AZ could only be
given by those in closest intimate and con.
fdential relations, during the various PEE
RODS Of his life. These were, in pursuance
Of the plan, enlisted for the work, EN-
bracing those who knew him as a boy, as
a flat boatman, rail.splitter, clerk in a
country store, law student, n lawyer,
politician, President-every period of his
eventful and most interesting life. Each
author writes Of the facts of his life dur
ing the period In which he knew him
facts and incidents that came under his
own observations and within his own
knowledge. A book thus written, and 50
exhaustive 10 fact concerning one of so en-
during place in the hearts and admira-
tion Of his people, is assured Of an enthu-
siasiic welcome and lasting place in pop
ular esteem. We are told that the last
literary work performed by the late Judge
David Davis, Lincoln's lifetime friend, was
Que Of the many contributions to this vol
ume, in which he took a deep personal
interest.
1t is grand career and character that
is thus so infinitely delineated. What
lover of simple worth and homely virtue,
is not touched by the story Of Lincoln,
pure and manly life In what Other
country could il have been possible "a
produce a character and career like hisi
The work is rendered further attraotiv,
by nearly 100 superb engravings from
original designs made especially for thi
book, Illustrating scenes and incidents il
his life. 1t is sold at popular prices within
the reach Of all.
