his sermon last Sunday. in the course of whit b
he stated that those Who endea vorsd TO so
place their property as 10 defrsud their credi-

Many other whole.sme truths were also plainly
put. and the Rev. genteman's remarks have
caused quite stir among those who heard
them, and his sermon has bern extensively
commented on. We approve OF such discourses
howevee, and think that such practical, hole
seme. talks from The pulpit leave more lasting

HAeERsTowN, July 4, 1889.
To the Officers and Men Of the Frst
Regiment:
It 10 with great regret that I announce
to yeu that will not be able to resume
command of this regiment during the
approaching encampment. My physician
sdvises me that have not 90 entirely re-
covered from illness as to permit me to
go into camp and perform the arduous
duties which the command of the regi-
ment would devolve u me. For my
self am not willing tq bpt The digni-
ties of position, the n 6asibilities and
active labors of which | tDt0uld he obliged
to place upon another officer.
Ny regret, however, 10 tempered by the
qualification of knowing that the Lieuten-
ant. Colonel commanding 10 30 we'll quail
fed by experience and military training for
commxnd in camp and field that the regi-
ment Can !. Sc nothing by my inability and
absence.
Remembering my pleasant relations
With both officers and men OF this regi-
ment during our 6rst encampment and
that it is not feasible to get them togeth-
er a. a battalion, except at the times
OF the biennial encampments,I l had looked
forward to this one and the opportunity
il would give all of US tor further i'm
provement. I shall be deprived of my
part of labor and pleasure of this good
work. But with the material of which
it ID compos. d, and the careful instruction
lit will have in camp and elsewhere. there
can lie no good reason why the First Reg.
iment should not, together with i.s fellow
regiment and battalions, be alike an or
nament and defence to the State and the
Republic.
| HY. KYD DOUGLAS, Colonel.
