when asked about the report, telling him
that the Congressional Committee could
have nothing to do with the scheme. There
is no campaign on this year and the COM
mittee does not feel called on at this time
to send orators through the country to dis
cuss any question. If any individual gen.
tleman or a party desire to go as individuals
and address the people, that is another mat
ter; they have a perfect right to do so, but
it is not proper that the name of the Con-
gressional Committee should be used by the

DIR. BAHNsON'S LECTURE
Before the Brotherhood of st. Andrew
Last Thursday Night


A rare treat was that afforded the
audience that gathered in the Sunday
school room of st. Paul's church last
evening to hear the lecture, read by
DR.. Bahnson, on "The Closing Days
of the War, as Seen by Private Sol
dier" We are much accustomed, as
DR.. Bahnson suggested, to accounts Of
the war, as given by those high in the
ranks, but this was view Of the
struggle from the soldier on foot.
And certainly never before have we
heard such a real, vivid account of
the conflict, or one which came so
near the hearts and homes of every
Southern family.
DR.. Bahnson has the credit of open
ing up d new and important field of
description Of the war, aid one, too,
which might be further carried out in
scenes which were going on at home
in the deprivations and work and an
guish of the fathers and cousins and
children; the wandering life Of the
refugees. Those of us who had lost
an elder brother in the war could not
but thank God that He had spared
DR.. Bahnson to tell the tale SO tragic,
pathetic and heroic.
The most beautiful feature Of the
lecture were the closing and crowning
words of prayer for unity and peace
henceforth throughout our beloved
land.
