ton of the church, of the growth Of

thence had been gone through with to
prepare the sermon.
40 spoke of the church as center
around which life may crystalize, The
good it can do depends upon its
efficiency.
lie told of the different organizations
connected with the church and under
its immediate care, and Of the great
amount of good they had done. Indica-
tions pointed to the fact that ere long
the Presbyterian church would be Or
ganized in all sections of the city. 1t

would be laid forever, and like the coral
islands of the Pacific, rise to tho sur
face in all their beauty.

and were Of very interesting charac-
ter Tho number of communicates

his men used their bayCuets in driving the
confederate guDncrs from the guns AT the
fifth traverse, a smell exploded among bis
men, killing and seriously woundng all but
four. Gen. Curtis took the mus4iets OF
these men and fired upon the enemy while
waiting for supports to be- brought forward.

stroying his left eye. There are other bat
ties in which Gen. urtis has shown dis
tngulshei valor as well as rare ability in
commanding troops. and he has been mem
toned many times in orders. For instance,
on the 10th of May, 1864, at the battle oil
Drury's Biuf, while colonel commanding
the l42d y. y. infantry, he performed
heroic work, and was complimented by Gen.
a. w. Turner commanding the division.

campaign, he did gallant service and wa,
so severely wounded, that there was seri
GUS doubts Of his recovery. For this service
