At the session of the Congregational Sunday school, Sunday, the following letter was read from Rev Howard N. Smith of Portland, Ore, superintend- ent of that state for the Congregational Sunday School and Publishing society. Mir Smith writes:
 Portland, Nov Il, 1907.
 To The Congregational Sunday school
 of Newtown, Conn.
 Christian Greetings: l wish to thank you personally for the $25, contributed for our Sunday school missionary work as reported by the Boston office. This will do much good and will plant one new school in the needy places of this great and rapidly growing state; 4,OOO home seekers came to Oregon last month, and we as Congregational work CTS are doing all in our power to keep pace with the great movement in church and Sunday school work. You may be interested in the work we are doing. Last year 22O Sunday schools were organized and reorganized, and the schools visited onceor more, num- Der 2H. Our workers travelled 29,040 miles. 1 personally travelled 1l,2l4 miles in all kinds of weather and un- der many trying conditions. The fol- lowing extracts from our missionaries letters show in slight way the needs and the spirit of those whom we reach. ''In visiting on Upper Cow Creek, l introduced myself, when the lady ex- claimed, A"L, came from D. two years ago and have been praying the Lord to send some one here to help us. How thankful feel that now we can have Sunday school and occasional preaching to cheer us on our way" After a serv- ice here an old man said, "Well it will seem like living in civilization, to lis ten to the preaching of the word and have Sunday school to attend and break the monotony of every day life" l am thankful that there is denomination which has men out in the highways and byways inviting souls to the gos- pei feast" Near J. an old lady said: My, how good it makes one feel to see the face of a minister. For many weeks we do not see the face of a liv- ing soul except my old man or some of the neighbors who live five miles away" "Come again; come again soon, we shall look for you, can't you really come in month? My how we wish you could stay while with us' are some of the expressions often heard as the missionary leaves one val ley to cross the rugged mountains to give others the glad story. At one place mother said My children, 3, 5, and years old, have never seen the face of preacher" The colored pie ture papers and cards distributed were tackled on the walls of the room for, "We do not want to get them torn, or lose them", said they.
 Dear friends and co-workers of New town, pray for the lost ones of Ore gon. Pray for the Congregational Sun day school missionaries of Oregon. We need your prayers as well as money and men for this great work.
 With best wishes for your own work and school, I am, Yours at the front, HI. N. Smith.

The Washington herald., 1907-01-06

II is apparently none too early in the
development Of a peculiar situation that
the Secretary of War has invited the
General STAFF of the army 70 give special
attention 10 the subject Of &c. ehed duty.
Fully p per cent Of the line officers of
the army are away from their COM
mands, having been detailed to duty IN
the special staff corps, with the General
staff. at military colleges. on recruiting
service, or on other work which far re-
moves them professionally and geo
graphically from their companies. troops
and batteries. It is supposed there can
be no reduction in the number of officers
who win be on detached duty from one
end Of the year to the other. but Score
tary Taft entertains the very wholesome
belief that it will be possible to regulate
the assignment TO what is known as de-
tached duty. so as to distribute the
scheme Of separation from line COM
mands. and to prevent certain officers
from continuing on duty which keeps
them away from their respective arms
Of the service.
This may not be possible, even with the
most exacting and restrictive measures
Of relief, for it is observed that neither

says in separate report that the section
has never been repealed. amended. or
modified. and that there is no reason or
authority for emitting it from the re-
vision.
The disagreement of the codifers sug-
gests that good many differences of
opinion might arise in Congress as to the
merits Of the revision. 1t may be recalled
that the friends Of the dollar of the dad
dies long cherished the grievance that
the silver dollar was deprived of it's legal
tender quality by a revision OF the Fed
eral statutes, wherein the law was made
to conform TO practice; and It may be
said, without in the least rejecting upon
the work OF the commission, that the
latest revision may be found 20 contain
alterations in the intent and purpose of
the law quite as important as that which
aroused the indignation Of the silver men
when. after the lapse of years they dis
covered it.
