At meeting of the Board o:
Education yesterday the following
communication was received.
adopted and vote of thanks or
dered forwarded to the mayor for
his happy thought In this connec-
ton.
October II, 1892.
Honorable Board of Education:
During this year, five teachers
have retired after many years OF
faithful service. The best years OF
their lives, as you know, were spent
In training our future citizens.
1t seems to me that they should
not retire without some emblem
of our appreciation Of their out
standing lives and services. use
the term emblem because II Is be-
yond our power to properly re-
ward them. ] take this occasion,
therefore, to recommend that this
board give to each small gold
medal Us token of appreciation.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

lex, but who had removed to Balti-
more while quite young man, and
who was a member of the Protestant
Episcopal church, became president
of the Society. The next year Rev.
Thomas Myers returned as agency
secretary, continuing in this office
until his death in 1895. Rev. Robert
M. Todd succeeded DIR. Myers and
served three years.
In 1898 while war clouds were again
in our national sky, and the boys in
blue were entraining for Cuba, Rev.
L. T. Waterman, DID,, Methodist
clergyman of much dignity and quiet
earnestness, came to the Bible House
where he served with much success
until shortly before his death in 1917
The span of years from 1898 to
1917 show a remarkable growth in
the service rendered by this time-hon-
ored institution. Friends of the Bible
made from time to time requests
either for endowment or for the work
Of direct distribution. Thousands of
volumes were placed in jails, hospi-
tails, almshouses, schools for delin'
quent boys and girls, the penitentiary,
on ships, in army encampments and
in the homes of the poor. Comfort
and blessing have come to thousands
through this quiet ministry, the rec
ords of which will never be read until
it is finally recorded in the Lambs
Book of Life.
Time and change are busy ever.
The world in which we live is not
the world of our Fathers, but it is the
world of our Fathers God. He hath
said: Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not pass
away"

Drive Against Dirty License
Tags To Be Continued

An intensive drive, which began on
August 1 against dirty, disfgured, OBJ
scured, swinging and poorly-lighted
license tags, will be continued indefi-
nitely, according to Col. E. Austin
Baughman, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles.
reports of the State Police show
that during the week of August 1
several hundred motorists were
stopped and warned about tags" the
Commissioner said.
"The situation has reached a point
where it cannot be corrected by a
mere warning-penalty will be more
effectual."

In 1874 a new feature appeared in
the Maryland Bible Society's program
for getting the Scriptures spread and
read. Four Bibles were placed for
reading by the passengers in each
coach of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and on each mail and bag
gage car for the employees. For these
purposes 1,005 volumes had beer
given. The Western Maryland Rail-
road cars had also been supplied in
like manner, and it was hoped to sup
ply the cars of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad
Though the new Bible House was oc-
cupied in June, 1874, interest in the
Society declined. The American Bible
Society was sent only $1,000 in that
year. Sixteen thousand, six hundred
and seventeen volumes were issued
and only part of the time of four men
as colporteurs was used.
The years from 1875 to 1879 were
far from being years of prosperity
for the Society. Despite the employ.
ment of ten colporteurs during much
of this period, distribution of vol
unmes increased but slightly. The
number per year varied between
$4,000 and 10000 volumes, while cash
receipts were below the $4,000 mark
for all these years but one.
In 1881 legacy was received from
the estate of Galloway Cheston which
enabled the Society to enlarge its
activities to some extent, though even
with this help it was possible to send
the American Bible Society only one
thousand dollars.
