The Card Catalogue

for the Public Library is finished and
ready for use. The cabinet made by
Mr.. Jollev last year being found
too small to hold the completed cata-
lOgue, it will be used for the shelf
list, and a handsome set of drawers
made and donated to the library by
Mr.. L. Gibbons, will hold the cata-
lOgue. The catalogue was made by
members of the WOman's Reading
Club under the direction of Miss
Marvin. The type-writing of the six
thousand cards which compose the
catalogue was done by Misses Allen,
Moser and Jenkin. The shelf list of
three thousand and three hundred
cards was written by Miss Gundry
and Miss Agnes Snow This latter
list has a card for each book in the
library, with title and author written
upon it, and is useful in taking the
inventory every year. This catalog-
ing represents a vast amount of time,
labor and skill, but has cost the IL
brary nothing except the money paid
out for necessary material.

lea, the speaker closed by saying that
he would gladly return to the Press as
the producer Of books. It was the
dream, the hope and the prayer of
some means of multiplying the
Word of God like the wind" that it
might be given to the masses of the
people. The press has printed many
books, but the Bible is the greatest of
them all. In giving to the world,
more than two hundred millions
of copies Of the sacred volume,
the press has triumphed gloriously.
That word is the fountain head Of
English thought and of English lit
erature. Through the power Of the
press-a power ordained of Cod
