BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.
FOrmn ton of District Union by tn
Local Societies,

FOrmn ton of a District Union by the
Local Societies.
Another young peoples association for
the purposes of religious work was formed
recently, when the Baptist Young People
Union of the District of Columbia was or
ganized in the Metropolitan Baptist Church
corner of 9Th and A streets northeast.
There were present about twenty-five dele
gates, representing four societies: Second
Fifth. Metropolitan and Gay Street
churches.
In addition to these four there are sew
eral other church societies which have sig
nified their intention of applying for men,
bership. but which were not represented.
The union now represents between four and
five hundred Baptist young people resident
in Washington.
According to the constitution adopted
the object Is stated to be: ITO unite the
energies of the Baptist young people of
the District for work along Baptist lines
through existing UNCONVENTIONAL organiza-
items" In carrying out this object the
societies. in general and individually, will
be expected to carry out the distinctive
features of B. Y. p. U. work.
The constitution is of such flexible ma
ture~ that the various societies may be at
the same time members of the B. Y. P
ard Christian Endeavor unions, and this
fect the FORMER organization desires to
emphasize.
To carry on the work of the Washington
union there has been provided an execu-
tive committee. consisting Of one repre-
sentative from each society and the presi-
dent and secretary Of the local union.
Officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent. Richard A. Ford of Fifth Church;
vice president. r. Milton Henderson of Sec
end Church; recording secretary, Edward
H. Bogley of Metropolitan; corresponding
secretary. H. A. Lyon of Metropolitan, and
treasurer, ]. w. Pratt of Gay Street. The
executive committee. in addition to Messrs.
Ford anG Bogley, is constituted as fol-
lows: w. J. Cohill Of Second Church, A. J.
Scott of Fifth, w. F. Atkinson of Metro
politan and ]. w. Pratt of Gay Street.
The next convention of the American B.
Y. p. U. will be held July, 1897. at Brook
lyn, N. Y, and for the purpose of secur-
ing large local delegation to attend this
convention President Ford was selected as
a committee of one to look after transpor-
tatfon matters. The local union has de-
cided to held a general meeting every two
months, the first one to be held under this
rule the first Friday in November

The Confederate Note.

The following lines were written upon
the back Of a five-hundred-dollar Confed-
crate note by Major $. A. Jonas subse-
quent to the surrender:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And naught I'm the waters below IL,
As pledge Of nation that's dead and
gone,
Keep it, dear friend and show IT,
Show 1t 10 those who will lend an ear
To the tale that this paper can tell,
OF liberty born. OF parrots dream.
or the storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores.
And too much of a stranger TO borrow,
We issued to-day our promise 20 pay,
And hoped 20 redeem ON the morrow.
The days rolled on, and weeks became
years,
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was 50 scarce that our Treasury
qualed
If dollar should drop In the tin.
But the faith that was in us was strong.
And our poverty well discerned.
For this paper check represented the pay
Our volunteers YEARLY earned
We knew that its value was little ln gold
Yet as gold our soldiers received IL:
IL renewed each day It's promise % pay,
And each patriot soldier believed H.
But our boys thought little OF price or pay,
or Of bills that were long overdue.
Ihey knew that this hardly bought bread
for the day;
But twas all our poor country could do.
Keep II, for II tells our history DER
From the birth Of its dream 10 the last,
Modest, and born OF the angel hope,
Like the hope of succcss-it passed.

And their sound viii cause Che wctflng
Of the veterans eyes with tears,
But 10 weep the noble fallen. and their
gallant deeds recall.
Are portions that their sacrifice doth cone
sccrate 10 all.
And what are they but echoes from the
fields, where heroes fought
And they sound oftimes the sorrow. or
the joy of victry wrought.
When / close my eyes 10 sunshine. thlr
their notes may bring me nigh
The voices OF my Commissioning hI-
vouac now on high.
Rest rest ye. noble soldiers; rest ye. rest
IN worthy fame
From age 10 age sail tongue and pen
arise 20 laud your name.
And their tribute bugles ringing down ths
swiftly gliding years.
As incense sweet. shall heap your shrine
which we have wet With tears
