Vice President C. A. Walter.
Secretary J. C. Enable.
Treasurer J. C. Weller.
S. Discussion Rt3eponsibi!ity of Sunday
school Officers and Teachers." Rev. A. J.
Heller spoka as follows:
" Our responsibilities cease only when we
have discharged our duties. After that the
responsibility lies wiih those who have ben
taught, and with God. We should study
wherein our duties as Sunday -school offi
cers and teachers lie. To itudy with a pro
found interest that which is committed to
our care, so as to be able to know what to
do. The responsibility of a Sunday-school
lies particularly w ith the superintendent and
teacher. The sujierintendent should be a
member of the Christian Church, and one
who takes a proper amount of iuterest in
the Sunday-school work. Not a formal, but
s living, active member of the Ciirii.ian
church. The teacher should be a person who
possesees the same unflagging interest in
Sutniay-scbool work ; every act ire teacher
will seek opportunities to prepare himself to
discbarge tne solemn duties devolving upon
bim.1'
4. On m ition of Rev. King it was decided
to limit each sneaker to ten minutes. i
5. Convention tben adjourned to meet at

(i. IJ'leslion for discussion " The Superin
tendent's Work." Rev. Wru. 1. LeFevre
said :
" Tiie :uinby-schHl sujierintendcnt is
the shepherd of his Hock, as the minister is
the holder rift-hnn-h In nnU 1.1 k-nii u,. !
cessful Sunitiy-school work it is necessary
to have co operation. The Sunday -school is
a divine necessity ; to help to carry forward
the work of winning souls to Christ, the
work should not only be tor Sunday-school,
but as an auxiliary to the work of the min
ister. The Sunday-school leader should be
one w ho is familiar with the word of Uod ;
he should be a teacher, that be may be able
to know the character and scope of Sunday
school work. He stand-in place of the min
is!, r in bis absence ; he should be found reg
ularly at teacher's meeting. In every srhool
there are those w ho arc especially fitted to
carry forward the Sunday-school work. He
should beseiecied from them.
7. Queries.
K Music.
Ii. Discussion continued by A. J Helier :
" The work of the Siii rintendtnt, like that
of the minister, should be more lu ourselves
Ibe work in every sense of Ihe word. It is
hi- duty to select persons to do the work. It
is his duty to devise more than to do."
10. Muiic.
11. " Whom is the Sunday-school Conven
tion intruded to benefit?"
S. C Weller: To benefit Sunday-school
workers. .
Ib;v. King : To benefit everybody ; not :n
be local. ,
li. Discussion continued by J. C. Weller :
" The woi k of the Sunday-school is one of
very serious moment, therefore the leader
sliould be a man of sound judgment ; be
should select those from the Sunday -scleiol
who are best fitted us teachers, that they may
co-operate w ith him in his work."
Rev. King : " The Superintendent should
be a man for the place ; not every one will
make a gixd Superintendent ; be should be
a young man ; there are older ones ho
would lie just as good in one sonae of the
word ; but a young man is better able to en
ter into that work, not only to conduct the
services of the school, but enter into ii in
ever)- detail. '
13. D. -s ussion continued by Philip Hay :
"Co-operation is necessary in any kind of
enterprise, therefore ii should be found in the
Sunday school ; each member should have
that love for his work that Christ bad for
His work."
H. Convention then adjourned to meet at
l-oii p. m.
rn:r.si..y .rrERtioox ses-m.
I. Devotional services.

reorts. which was as follows :
71 XlfmWrs or Me (iiitv.itiin .-
Your Committee presents the following,
on r-rt of delegates from Sunday -school
Classis. Our reisvrt must of necessity be very
incomplete, inasmu. h as only Hi schools are

oth-rthe following items of interest :
1. That the Convention urge the matter of
regular attendance upon ministers of Classis,
suiicrintendenls and d. "legates of Sunday

least an annual rep-nt of every Sunday

superintendents or delegates arc unavoidably
absent.
2. That, we urge elTorts to increase the con
tributions for Homo and Foreign Missions.
i. That teai hers' meetings be more regu

so, it falls short of its purpose. The greatest

The Republicans of Confluence and sur

pules ever raised in this town, on Saturday,
Sept. 13. The pole is over one hundred feet
high and carries a streamer 15 feet long with
the names of Harrison and Morton in two
feel letters.
The projector of the pole extends his
hearty thanks to all who aided in the least
toward its construction and raising. Then
was much opjictfition to raising a pole.
Mr. Cleveland is not at all popular witii

The Chinese emigration bill gives bim some
uneasiness. His many veto messages setting
aside sxsial pension claims don't meet the
approval of his countrymen. Of course there
are some claims undeserving and should be
rejected. Your correspondent is aware of a

ADDRESS OF JUDGE WHITE
At the Unveiling of the Soldiers'
Monument at Somerset,
September 17.
Following is the address delivered by
Judge Harry White on the occasion of the
unveiling of the soldiers' monument, Sept.
17th, taken down for the Hesalo by its
special reporter. We would commend it to
the careful perusal of all our readers :
"Somewhere it is said, ladies, gentleman
and comrades, that the ni.n fails upon the
just as well as the unjust. So beneath the
lowering clouds that are over us to-day we
arc all, in this respect, cpou an equality. 1
tell you frankly, however, my friends who
have come here to-day for to honorable a
purpose, that if I was the Great Commander
I would have it otherwise so far as the rain
It concerned at least. Allow me, however,
to congratulate yon cpon your enterprise
and patriotism In tumitig out mxm this oc
casion, notwithstanding the unpromising
character of the weather.
1 may remark, my friends, that It lias never
been my privilege to make the tour of Eu
rope, bnt the graphic powers of the traveling
correspondent, with the accompaniment of
illustration has so familiarized us with Eu
ropean towns and cities, that when I came
this moming for the first time in my life to
this attractive mountain borough, 1 at once
realized that I was not in a European town
but in an American one. The tourist of
Euruiie who has visited their towns and
cities must be impressed with the act that
the main reliance for the government of the
people there is the military h.wl'T, for they
are all laid out with a view of centering at a
moment iue military force. Wlieu you vi.ii:
a European town yon will observe there is
a common center, and ever)- highway and
avenue approaches to that center. The pur
pose is readily diseoveivl. In case of resist
ance, or an outbreak of the popular will the
central authorities, supported by theaccum
unimerits of war, can at once suppress any
opposition. Not so with Ameri.au towns
they are laid out with reference to tiie con
venience of the people and the beauty of the
lamL-t ss.-. Our reliance for the government
of the )eopie is not upon the military power !
alone. F'or ages their towns, taught by ex- j
perierice, have been la:d out with the view of j
instantly using the military power to secure I
peace and order in their communities. Dig
up their soil and von will come upon mili
tary works, and the i!eej.ryou dig ihe more
diversified is their character. While this is
true my friends in Euroi. and the contrast '
is striking and telling between Ameritan
communities and theirs, yet the achieve-
ments of American soldiers are not to be dis- ,
regarded. Xo bloody page stains his career
with battles fought for conquest alone. Xo
mere individual ambition has led bim to
civil war.
Ilistory ever repeats itself. The ar.ejint
Egyptians bad among their deitiesoue w hicli
was called the God Osiris. One of their sa
cred books represented him as judging the
son! after drat h had separated it from the
body. The soul is represented as wandering
about the earth for a while doing good, and
finally returned in m-nhlicd form to the
hotly in which it was formerly contained.
That soul that could defend itself befuru him
by saying : " I have never been idle. I have
never betrayed a trust, I have given f.nl to
the hungry, I have given drink tothethirsty.
I hae given clothes to the naked, and better
than all I have bis;n true to my country,"
was taken into high favor ; b ;t the soul that
could make no such defense returned to lift
in the shape of a groveling pig or some other
unclean quadruped. History then. I say,
forever rejieats itself, and organized society
subsequently has utilized this valuable fea
ture of humanity and forever admires patri
otic servi.vs and heroic saeriuces. and the
government of the people will do well to be
instructed by the wise philosophy that comes
from the peculiarities of our natare. Among
the fastnesses of Ihe Tyrol the name uf An
drew Hofer is dearer than all l.-c, while
among the crags and islands of Scotland thr
swurd of Wallace forever gleams in the sun
light and the name of Bruce is an ever pres
ent reality. Westminster Ab!cy for ii-n-turi"S
has cijntaintil the remains of the U.il
dead who have commended themselves, to
the admiration of the world by their achieve
ments in science, in philosophy, in politics
and in oratory. And it ion to us, also,
my friends, as an insiruc'ive le-son fr-.m the
Grecian jieople, when the republic there was
in full prosperity, that they assemhUd occa
sionally to do honor to those who had made
patriotic sacrifices for their country. After
the battle of Marathon the people from ail
parts of the republic assembled ii;i the
field made glorious by the hen, ic sacrifices of
the soldiers who bad saved tiie learning and
refinement of Athens from the bands of the
Persian spoiler, and those that died tifsm
that field were buried upon the spot tiiat
their courage and gallantry bad made forever
famous, and in beautiful story is it toid that
ten pillars were erected, ujsiti the monu
mental temple in which were gathered the
arms of the dead and iioti these monuments
were iuseribed, tor the venerat-on of the peo
ple the names of those who died to save their
country and its learning and refinement
from the destroying baud uf the .-.oiler, and
it conies lo us, my friends, in this iate day.
with tin! sauctiou of well authenticated tra
dition, that it was part of the education of
the Grecian children after the battle of Tuer
niopyhe to daily read the names of the im
mortal 3-t) w ho died defending that moun
tain pass, and we as citiz-ns of the great re
public do well to bed the phiioso'-hy and
instruction that wines to us through these
long agi-s.
In a Hpular government like this, where
every man has a right to practice his voca
tion, has a right to ind'.ilg-- bis anihit: n and
where there will lie necessary jo-tlini sud
rivalrii-s arise, it is wise ! have some com
mon platform where on all ran statidandad
mire their count-y and sv.-tein of govern
ment. My friends, such occasions as Ibis
are useful and instructive. They must not
be sneered at because these assemblages are
the result of the teachings of the Republican
system of government.
The question is often n-ked what made
this war, what made ir, this serit.us interne
cine strife? I will not take the lime now to
speak of the details of history, its passion
and prejudici-s. Do you know what made
the war? I think i do not know myself, it
was so causeless; it was tie nsnlt of so
mnch misapprehension. I recall listening to
a statement from au honored citizen of your
town, Judge Black, w!nse conversation was
always entertaining to me no matter how
much we might differ in our political opin
ions. After the clo-e of the Buchanan ad
ministration and the iuaiiv'iiration of Mr.
Lincoln, be started back to Wa-hington, g.
ing through Harper's Ferry. At the lime
Virginia had organized some troops, but had
not formally attached itself to the Montgom
ery government. The train was stopped at
Harper's Ferry by some of these tnsips and
the Judge being recognised as a public man,
tiiey hel l him and refused to permit hiru to
proceed to Washington until they rei-eived
word from the government at Richmond to
leave him pass. While waiting there listen
ing to the conversation of the men, he said
he was (-articularl)' impressed with one big
sergeant who said ''some fellow asked me
what this war was going to lie aW.it. I
could not answer him but fold him some
body said it was a war 10 secure nur rights in
the South. Xow I don't know whether we
have any rights or not, but if we l ave I'll
be d d if I don't want them." Xow my
friends, the mass of ihe people were as igno
rant as to the causes that led to the war as
thai sergeant coming from the mountains of
Virginia, whoso frankly confessed his igno
rance. You have no doubt all heard of the
misapprehension of the jieople of the South
as lo the character of the Xorthem people,
and I need not repeat their boast that one
writhern man was eqnal to five northern
men. but I will relates little incident which
I don't think will be oat of place and which
will illustrate the education of the southern
gentleman by the northern blue coats, it
comes from the lips of oeTii jt Banks, and
was related lo me by General il. C. Butler, of
South Carolina, oo an occasion where we
soldiers were exchanging stories together. A
fire-earing braggart, so the story goes, was al
ways declaring his readiness to eat up the
Xurth. The time finally came for turn to
show his sin.-only am! enlist. He did so.
saying: "Of course, I am going up to eat
up some of those Yankees five of them are
ray share." He went u? and triey got into
an engagement, I Aa nut remember where it
was some point in Virginia. He was in a
while. In a pretty bot place, and came back.
"Why. Captain, how is it, how i it ; you
said when you went np there you wanted o
eat the Yankees ; how does it come that you
are coming out?" "I was there." he replied
"and I did eat a little, but 1 don't want to be
a glutton ali at once." The brethren of the
South were instrairtud, and amply instructed
that the boys who come from the mountain
towns of Pennsylvania, as well as from else
where in the Xorth, were ihe equals of any
man that was born in a southern c'.ime.
Xo ceremony i vain, no time is misspent
ehich gives right direction to human dary
or proper inspiration :.r individual pride,
and here to-day we have a ceremsry of iLat
character. We are here to-day for what pur
pose? To perpetuate the names of those
who died that this great country, this grind
government of the people should not perish
from the face of tiie earzb. A tew words of
veneration, possibly, would besutucient for
me to perform the duty you have assigned
for in-.. but we must not forget the young
generation these young ladies with their
cheerful presence and their useful kitluenoe
these Niysand young men who did not live
when the noise and confusion of war was in
the land, must realize that the responsib.'ify
will siion rest upon th-m to take the places
of those who hare g me before theru. ami
they nittsi be tangli that the sa-rl :i x-s that
were made by these names were un fa! and
valuable for the purpose of perpetuating e ar
government.
My friends, when the wirof the rehelhon
began there was no nation m ire uuwarlie
than ours. For lifty years there had been
no battle fought within our borders. That
generation was ignorant of war and its ap
pointment... Military cinploynioni h:ui
fallen into disrespect if not into disuse bure.
All that generation knew of war w.,s to ftv
the oorn-stalk militia come into the commu
nity occasionally, and by their .eeuliar -iriil
excite the amusement and o-.v.Lnonally the
derision of the spectators. Why, a great
majority of our ieoplc. did not know the
names even of our military anVlivislons. nn.l

aud gentlemen, do you recall the i:i ; i le:i;
that occurred on your streets in iS il. when
the first call to arms came from the reis..--ui.d
head of the nation, Aoraham I. ecoln.
Confusion followed conster-ia'ioii, my
friends, in your streets. The oid and the
young vied with each other; the matron and
t;ie maiden ; the mother with her first bor.i

our country is stronger and better than ever
it was before.
Ix-t me sy right here that I lieiieve it I.
the duty of every young m-in re, int'.,rni him
self in regard to the history of bis country.
A short time ago I was attending the evaot
iuation of a young man who prop'.sed i i
take up the profe-sion of law. v hieh I tiling
is one of the greatest profession in s.n .iety.
Well, lie was a graduate, of one of our eo'
leges, yet, singular to -;:y, he did nut know
tiie name of a general or prominent m!I r
of Penn-ylvauia who had iartieipate-l in the
battle of Gettysburg, and he did not knov
the state that was proud of the citiz-ti-hip
of the genera! who eoniman led niton that
occasion. I was surprised simply lx-cau-e
his attention had not been called to i:.
While in the four yeara of anxious war tini .-.
listen hoys anil girls, ",7-0,17 men wr-e en

000 of these may have been re-enlis'iue;i;s.
leaving yet more than -j.ik!,ooii men out of a
population of about 27.').oio. T lil'ti.s
of the men able to do military duty v-re i:i

Out cf 341.tiM milliters graves m ir -than
lon.oon of them are marked "unknown."
Xot many .months ag I visited Salisbury, a
hated spot in many re-pects. I went there
to see the V. S. Cemetery at that point. As
1 went through the long avenue of the
lead, I di-covered 12. UV. gra.es and I f- it
sa.i as I turned to the riht and ointrd to
ehe left ami nift '" I'nknoa n," "I'l.tiiimti,"
"! nkiioivn." Of these graves. l.I'! are
niatki d 'Tnknown." I have often thought,
my friends, that the mm who went into
that prison shonl i hive ini tateil the exu.i
ple of the her.x-s who. when th.y were or
dered to make the second charge in istil at
the battle of Colt! Harbor, wrote the r names
upsMi a piece of paper and pinned it ui-iti
their backs, so that when the charge was
over and their dead isvlies found, their
friends could revognizii Ihe.r renuins. I
have beet: anxious also to know just how
many of these men are surviving. l'po:i in
vustigatioa I 'mind that there are now sur
viving of you old veterans 1 ill mm. In 1- ')
it is estimated tin re will tie l.jnn."1'! stirviv

the total male population. In ltHl. hiking
!o t a' the middle -rixi of the war, and the
close of the war as lstio, the year of lull
will be as far ahead as it is back to the ch -se
of the war there will lie according to fair
computation 7 i2.0" veterans surviving, one
out of a thousand of the topuiation thn.
Can you tell the average ae of the men
who went into the war in 111 ? 1 tisik oc
iiision to make a calculation of tic's with the
a-sistanceof the centra! military authorities
a-a matter of instruction. The average age
of enii-tnieiit was 2iiarsand. of course,
ihere were many under that age. Take .1.)
years hence and the boy of '01 who enlisted
at 1 years of age will then lieso years of a.-e,
he wiil then he tottering and feeble, lint
some were as young as 14, lo and Hi years.
Who was the youngest enli-ted man has
never lieeu settled, but I will say for the in
formation of every one in the audience that
many of the most faithful soldiers 1 ever
saw in the field were boys who went in at
10 and lti years of age.
Judge White then read some extracts from
the Richmond .cuhvr of July 'till in regard
to the action of our government in discon
tinuing the exchange of prisoners of war, in
which they claimed Ihnt ihe reason Ihe. Fe.
cral government adopted this course was be
muse they could a ea-i!y get as nisny mer
cenaries as they needed from foreign countries
and did nol care how many of their soldiers
died in southern prisons. This, of course,
the Judge refuted, and paid an eloquent
tribute to the quality and ehara- ter of Ihe
northern soldier.
1 congratulate yon, however, th-t tin e
has moderated the asperities of this deadly
strife, between union and disnnioii. lietween
liberty and siavery, yet, the char line of
ditb miee between the cause for whieli the
soldier in blue fomdit and for which Ihe
soldier in gray fought slionld be kept in
view. The history of the pa-t teaches us
that no sacrifices are too gnat ti :cve our
country, and I hc;te tiiat the inspiration ami
iurluer.ee of example, will grow wider and
wider as time transpires. Our court ami
authorities, notwithstanding, this great con
flict decided that no man could lie trie.! and
executed for treason. We must not complain
of tli is. M;rry and patience ha character
ized this government more than any other
government under the shining sun. and we
have a moat beautiful example and authori
ty for such procedure. There is a very pref'y
allegory that i read once, which represents
a conference between Truth, Jostice and
Mercv. Jeiiovah calls them into council to
nittsult what He shoui l d il'i mail af t r !
his fall. Says Truth, "Trust l.iiu not, or he j
will violate Thy precepts." Sv Justice. !
"Trust him n.rf. or he will viola'eThy sain t- j
nary.' Says Merry, coming 1b with ui j
lifted eyes. '"Trust man, I will be with bim
through all Lis mistakes, and ail hii wander
ings." So mv friends this government has
accepted these- jcopie and to-day they enjoy
alt the bleoiugs uf iiting unUec the t!ig f-tr
which those men died vrhi- names are in
scribed upon yonder monument, and to this
and future generations, it preaches the duty
of protecting die grand government for
which so many sacrifices were made. Let
us hope that this trust is not in vain, au J
that it will fulfil its destiny."
