BIBLE WORK IN MISSISSIPPI AND
LOUISIANA.

Mr.. EDlToR:-I desire space in
the columns of your excellent
paper to lay before the readers
thereof, in Mississippi and Lou
Islana, the following appeal, .e-
Gently made, to the chu,ches,
pastors and lovers of The Bible
III New Orleans by the Board Of
Directors Of the Southwestern
Bible Society, and TO urge the
churches, pastors and lovers Of
the Bible all over the two States
above-named 10 do what those
in New Orleans are urged to do
in the appeal referred to:
Dear Christian Friends.
The Southwestern Bible Society
has a large and important field
which it is unable adequately to
supply with the Scriptures. Under
these circumstances The American
Bible Society, Notwithstanding
the generous grants it has made
us in past years, now offers, with
our coop, ration, to make a
thorough canvass Of the whole
State, including New Orleans
Tic work in this city will be com.
menced at once, and We now an.
peal TO pastors, churches and the
friends of the Bible to assist Tie
American Bible Society in this
important work.
1t becomes the more Important
that there should be Il grner0u
response from our frien,is, be
cause the receipts of The Parer
Society for several years hay,
not met its expenditures. Th,
surplus which IT had at the begin
Mug of the re-supply now il
progress is almost exhausted, anc
It's work must shortly be curtoilet
unless the churches and Chr:stia
people como promptly to its aid
VIZ. therefore, solicit from all lib,
! churches in this city liberal col
lectlons, 50 that the expense Q
this canvass may make as littl
draft as possible upon the genercs
lily of the American Bible Society
|. Church collections and indiyid
ual gifts for this object may b
sent to any one of the undersigned
OF to the treasurer Of the South

assurance IS hereby given tia
they will be remItteil promptly Il

FRANK G. HALL, who is under sentence of death in Philadelphia, is described by a newspaper in that city as being of kind and lovable disposition and passionatel! fond of flowers. His gentle nature was shown in the tender care he exhibited fol poor, little, halfstarved mouse that wan dered into his cell. He gave it part of his pie. Charitable ladies take great deal of interest in Hall and think it is cruel and brutal thing that he should have been sen fenced to die. His offense was very trivial one. He enticed woman away from her husband, broke up her home beat her nearly to death twice, and thel showed his gentle and affectionate nature by cutting her throat from ear to ear while she pleaded piteously for life.
