/ To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Permit
me to congratulate you on securing the services
of my old friend, Rev J. H. Bealc. 1t was an
excellent stroke, and will add largely TO the III
terc>t of the journal. He was formerly the
| editor of the Masonic Record, and in that ca

of marked ability. and likewise poet of grace

passed through all the har l$hips incident to
that fearful conflict. No one will be better
qualified to interest and instruct the journal
reader, ahout army life than he. We Shall
certainly look for some rattling article, from

good follow. He is an nimitable st0ry-tcer
aH3 'on-Ummate mimic. Equally gifted in
power. of oratory, his voice is often heard on
the rostrum in defence Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic. The members Of Tho-. Ii. Mar

services Of Comrade Beale for next Memorial
Day. Ills presence alone j. an Inspiration,
and can assure YOU of his ability to please Il
