DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BETIILEIIENI.—The
well-known Lnekenbach Mills at Bethlehem were
destroyed by fire last Wednesday night._ The fire
was first noticed about 11 o'clock, when the flames
spread so rapidly that the whole of the building
was soon entirely enveloped by them, defying
every effort and exertion of the firemen—who were
promptly on the spot—to subdue them. They,
however, succeeded in saving the adjoining dwel
lings, while the mill with its contents was almost
wholly consumed by the conflagration. The stor
age In the mill consisted of grain to the amount of
nearly 4,000 bushels, and about 1000 sacks of flour.
The flour was to be shipped the following day.
The cause of the fire is attributed to the heat of a
flue, which was supposed to have communicated
with a pile of feed. The loss Is estimated at about
$30,000. There was an insuntncti on the property
and stock of $9,000. '
The mill was an old, but very substantial stmts.-
tore, and in a historical view, was one of the most
memorable landmarks that any modern Betide
hcznite or any of the rising generation could gaze
at to remind him of the early history of our coun
try. Let the reader transport himself in imagina
tion to the time in the history of our country when
Washington had his mission to the French forts,
when George II was King of England, and when
Ohio and Indiana were still claimed by the French,
no Revolutionary War yet thought of, and then
you are at a period when this mill had already
been grinding the products of the early settlers for
two years. September 2d, 1761 , 8 ground its first
grist, aid on the 27th ofJanuary;69, it ground
its last. Thus another relic that (bought back to
us theinfancy of our country's hory—a monu

cestral famo—is among the things that were, but
what time and changes has it outlived.

THE LEHIGH COUNTS BIBLE SOCIETY.-At
the meeting of the Lehigh County Bible Society,
held in the German Reformed Church, in Allen
town, on Sunday, January 10th, the following ad
dress was delivered by Rev. J. W. Wood, Pastor
of the let Presbyterian Church, on the manage
ment and relations of the Pennsylvania Bible So
ciety and the American Bible Society :
The object of a Bible Society Is very plain and
simple. It Is to circulate the holy Bible without note
or comment. Wherever on earth there Is a human
being without a Bible, such a society offers to fur
nish that person with a t•opy of the word of God
by •sale or by gift.
In 59 years the American Bible Society have
received nearly twelve millions of dollars (11,892,-
149.56), and has Issued In the same time 23,855,120
volumes . About four hundred thousand Bibles
and Testaments arc Issued every year In this
country by private publishers, and there are im
ported Into this country from England annually as
many copies as are published by the American
Society and private ,publishers together. The
Pennsylvania, Society has distributed 2,211,436
I copies of the scriptures, that Is, about one-tenth of
the issues of the parent Society. • These are largo
figures, and It may seem to some persons that the
work ought to be about completed. But a little
consideration will show that such Is not the fact.
Bibles wear out by use—some are lost ; every wed
ding calls for a new Bible—sometimes every men=
ber of a family wishes a copy ; Sunday-schools,
hotels, asylums, prisons, ships, &c., must be sup
plied; largo numbers of immigrants arrive with
out a copy of the word of God ; frontier settlers
very often carry with them the axe and the plough,
but not the Bible ; an immense field and a very
needy one now ails for the Bible in those parts of
our country where Slavery , existed. It would be
a crime against God and man if we withheld any
longer the Word of Life from the colored people.
Besides, experience has shown that where a terri
tory is %applied every five years, about ono family
in six is found to be destitute—and, added to all
this, the 'nations that have a corrupted Christianity,
the followers of Mahommed, and the pagans, all
now need and call for the word of God. No, the
work is not done—it is only fairly begun, and at
the present rate of supply, it would not be finished
in a thousand years. We must enlarge rather
than diminish our efforts.
It has been the constant aim of the American
Bible Society to secure systent in all departments of
their labor, and to do this by dividing and spread
ing, among the people in all our country, the re
sponsibility, the labor, and the credit of the good
work. The policy of that Society is the opposite of
centralization. Its excellent plan of having auxili
aries everywhere does not centralize money and
power In Its own hands, but it scatters the money,
the 'power, the work, and the praise among the
friends of the cause. That plan is to have each
auxiliary attend to the whole work in its ownneld
—to collect the money in whatever way it thinks
best, and to spend that money on its own field—
the whole of it, if necessary—and If there is a sur
plus, to send that to the pareut society. If all the
friends of the enterprise were organized into aux
iliaries, as the parent society wishes them to be,
and would faithfully and thoroughly do their own
work on their own field, then all the destitute
would be supplied by their own neighbors, and the
national Society would become only a publishing
Mae for this country, and a disbursing agent for
foreign lands. As things now are, the Society
receives and applies a great deal of money simply
because the people of many localities will not apply
their own money, nor do what is properly their
own work.
The surplus 'paid to the parent Society by Its
auxiliaries is only about one-eighth of its receipts
—last year In was $112,520.48, while the total re
ceipts were $804,314.84, and the year 'before the
last the proportion was the same. The donations
last year, outside of the auxiliaries, amounted to
$135,633.86, and the year before, to $167,518.04.
This shows two things : First, that there is a great_
amount of work which the people will not perform,
and that the parent Society must do it, or it would
be left undone • and secondly, that the largest
amount of Boat o put directly into the hands
of the American Socie • by the donors themselves,
which seems to argue that the majority of donors
prefer to trust the ministration of the Society
rather than t apply their own funds by some other
agency. The donations of the Pennsylvania Bible
Society to the AMerlean Society for the tirsklifty
years of the latter are given at $49,113.17, which
is less than a thousand dollars a year, on an aver
age, from the great Keystone State ! The remit
tances for Bibles in the same time front this State
were $467,663.75. This last item is a purely busi
ness transaction, In whirl, value received in money
is returned in books at cost, or less, to the decided
advantage of the purchaser.
The donations made to the parent Society from
all sources are about one-third of its annual re
ceipts,and less than half of this third is from the
surplus funds of auxiliaries. These auxiliaries,
moreover, obtain books front the parent Society at
five per cent. below the cost or catalogue price,
and sometimes at a still further deduction ; so that
Bibles may be sold at one price everywhere:and
also, by the Constitution of the parent Society, the
officers of alt its auxiliaries hare the rigid to Inert with
the Board of Managers in New York on the first
Thursday of each month, to speak and to rote on any
garetion before the board. •
These remarks are intended -to show, and do
show, that the American Bible Society neither
claims nor exercises any superiority or lordship
over its auxiliaries or their funds, but fully consid
ers its auxiliaries as parts of itself engaged in the
one great, good work, while "it is God that work
eth all in all."
There arc six State Societies in vigorous and
successful operation, to which the whole work in
their respective fields is given up: viz, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
and Louisiana. The monies collected in these
States (and whenever a like relation exists, as
between a County Society and its branches) have
two chances of being used up, before the parent
Society can expect anything from that field. The
collections taken in Lehigh county are used in this
countyl if this Society think best to do so—then, if
there is a surplus, it Is sent to the Pennsylvania
Society, and it is used anywhere in this State as
that Society judges to be wise—and vies:, if there
is a surplus left again, it Is sent to the parent So
ciety in New York. Surely the auxiliaries ought
not to complain.
The reports of the American Ilible Society show
that the gratuitous grants about equal the Dona
tions. As the Bibles that are sold are sold at cost
there is of course no money made or lost by the
operation. But the printing presses wear out, type
and type-plates become useless, and other expenses
arc necessarily incurred In tho working of the es
tablishment. These outlays nmot bo mot, and
they must be met by the gifts of the friends of the
Bible cause. It is, therefore, impossible for the
Society to give away the whole amount of its dona
tions, if it continue Its operations. The repair, or
the enlargement of its manufacturing facilities,
must be paid for by the voluntary benevolence of
its friends, and sometimes men of large hearts and
large views have made donations for specific ob
jects, that the donations from auxiliaries might
not be used. This was . prominently the case in
regard to the erection of the Bible House in Phila
delphia and New York. The Bible House in New
York covers three.ptarters of an acre, and is six
stories high. Its cost was about $300,000, and
was paid by special gifts front liberal men, so that
not a cent was expended in its erection that had
been given for the circulation of the Scriptures.
The parent Society, by recent additions to its
printing machinery, naking nineteen large Attains'
presses now at work, Is able to furnish 12 copies of
the Bible beery minute, or 720 every hour, or about
two and a-half million a year. About four hundred
persons are employed in the building every day,
and are paid for their work ; about 200 are females.
Of course, a large amount of money is expended In
salaries and wages.
It is just here that lealousie;3 — and suspicions
sometimes arise, and remarks arc thrown out
which arc adapted to prejudice the public against
the State and national institutions. It can be said
In reply that the Society in Philadelphia and New
York court investigation into all their ways and
works. Besides, the character of the thirty-six
laymen who constitute the Board of Managers of
the parent Society, and Of the officers of the auxii
lades who have it right to sit and vote with them,
and the character of the twenty-four gentlemen in
the Board of the Pentisyivania Society (fifteen
laymen and nine clergymen) representing seven
religious denominations, are a guarantee against
any unwise or extravagant use of funds committed
to their charge.
Some statements in the Treasurer's report of the
American Bible Society might; without explana
tion, lead to the thought that the salaries of the
chief executive officers were extravagantly large
One item runs thus: " Services of secretaries, gen
eral agent and assistant treasurer, $25,000."
(Repcirt, 1868.) Do five men receive that amount
The whole force of men in the Bible House is di
vided into two departments, the executive and the
manufacturing. The first Is thsifof the soureta ries,
treasurer, and agent, and in this are fifteen men.
The amount referred to, we suppose, Is pall to
those fifteen, making the average to each $1,666.00.
lint this is paid by the rent of moms in the Bible
House, which last year amounted to $27,000. The
donations of auxiliaries are not used to pay those
executive officers. The Managers work gratui
tously and contribute largely. They are all lay
men, of several denominations, of high standing,
and of eminent proft;ssional and financial ability,
and they are Christians who love Jesus and the
souls of men. These brethren guard with consci
entious and laborious care the money entrusted to
them. After the experience of half a century, and
the handling of many millions of dollars, it may
be emphatically asserted that in no organization
on earth Is money so safe, and so likely to be hon
estly used, as in the hands of those Boards, or
Committees who manage the benevolent enterprises
of our times. Among these, the Managers of our
Slate and national 'Bible Societies are not excelled
by any in the purity of their motives, and the wis
dom of their plans.
Our Pennsylvanht Society employs two General
Agents, the Rev. Irvin 11. Torrence in the eastern,
and the Rev. W. W. Fells in the western part of
the State, and those occasionally employ assistants.
Mr. J. P. Rhoads has charge of the Depository at
the corner of Seventh and Walnut streets, Phila
delphia. The individual salaries of these brethren
are given in an aggregate of $8,266.07, which in
cludes " freight, awning, insurance, post office and
revenue stamps, gas, fuel,traveling and incidental
expenses." By these details we may reasonably
suppose that their salaries are not too high, yet it
would give greater satisfaction If the Pennsylvania
and American Bible Societies would publish a more
detailed account of their respective treasuries
touching the salaries of officers and agents. The
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions at Boston commands unquestioned confl-
Seam, and gives complete satisfaction, by publish
ing the name and salary of every officer and agent
in Its connection.
The American Society last year employed forty
two agents, three of whom are in foreign countries.
An item in the Treasurer's hult report reads thus :
"Collecting and distributing agents and their trav
eling expenses, $114,383.22," and this refers exclu
sively to agents in this country: If 39 Is the whole
number who receive this $84,383.21, inclusive of
traveling expenses, it is clear that their individual
salary must be less than $2,000, and it Is equally
clear that such an aecrage Is nbt extravagant In
these days of bight prices. The "distributing"
.agents are probably not included in the thirty-nine,
but are employed temporarily, and on a limited
field, by the General Agent, to distribute Bibles to
the destitute. This would again make the average
salary of bath of the thirty-nine still less—but I
cannot avoid the conviction that the American
Bible Society ought to make its Treasurer's report
more definite by names and details.
These agents are an indispensible necessity,
Several counties in this Stath have no county or
ganizations—ln some twenty-five counties the
Societies am Inactive and Irregular, or If they act
at all It is inefficiently and on a narrow field. There
are about one hundred auxiliaries in this State and
nearly half of them make no systematic and con
tinuous efforts. In large portions of the Stale, the
work would not be done at all without the services
of an agent. Their office is no sinecure, and its
Income makes no one rich. The agent who Is fit
for his work is fit also to fill responsible and well
paid positions in other spheres. lie appreciates
the comforts of borne and the sweetness of family
tics, but leaves them for the life of a pilgrim and
the work of a servant. Ills mission is mainly to
those who neglect their duty, or are careless in
performing it—to the prejudiced, the Gault-finding
and the stingy, to those who have no Bible find often
I / no Sabbath or sanctuary. Next to the auxiliaries,
the faithful agent is the most efficient arm of the
Bible Society. In the vast field of the South, now
calling fbr help, and, in the widely scattered popu
lation west of the Mississippi, his labors cannot
be dispensed with. The selection of the right kind
of men, the supervision and compensation of their
labors we can safely trust to the Managers of the
State and national Societies.
One topic more. The Bible Society aims to
publish mainly the cheaper kinds of Bibles, so as
to supply the largest possible number of people
with the Word of Salvation, and sells them at cost
for the same reason. But it never sells below cost
to any parties except to auxiliaries. It Belts to no
one who wishes to sell again fora profit. Ninety-six
of every hundred Bibles issued by the Society are
of the cheaper binding, that all may be aisle to
procure a copy. But the friends of the Society
desire n. few copies in more expensive bindings and
form, because of the correctness of the text, the
beauty.of the typography, and they are willing to
pay for them.
In conclusion. The great enterprise of furnish
ing "the Words of Eternal Life" to every soul is
wisely organized, and honestly administered, In
the national, State, and locust Societies. The lead
ing managers are men of unimpeachable integrity,
full of Christ-like love and zeal, and are prepared
to multiply and circulate copies of the Will of God
ns far as the Christian community will give them
the means of doing so. They are willing and de
sirous to rectify every real defect in administration,
and to co-operate:ln themost efficient methods with
all who love the Savior of lost men, to bring about
the time when all shall know Illm and be saved by
Ills grace. Very solemn responsibility is upon us.
Let its do our duty in giving our money,.sending
up our prayers and earnestly working until we are
called to enter into the joy of our Lord.

It was already 8 Melt lei: nest morning when we
started on our wadi:. The sky above us gave faint
indications of rain„and all along the valley small
clouds swept along the slopes,or hung lazily over
the hill-tops, imparting a rather strange aspect
to the landscape.
At noon we halted In the thriving town of St' la-
men, where the peasants were Just holding their
weekly market. 1 was surprised at the 'number
of pretty faces I encountered. The dresses, too,
were unlike those of other %Alleys, showing more
of the modern cut In their garments, while not a
few sported kid gloves and silk aprons.
Stumm is the prinelkal.town in the valley: The
best 5,1 cheese is here made which, with rattle Of
the llnest breeds, forms the chief trade. Soon
after leaving Haanen, It commenced mining, and
for the rest of the day we Jogged on through mud

' The rain increasing, we were compelled to re

cross the Gemini Pass to the Lake of Geneys.
The words of Byron "Beautiful as a drain.," or.
cdrred to me frequently and I was "all anxiety"
to see for myself. Ishall never forget the Monte,
the grandeur, the sublime scene t hat met myeves
as we wound up tne narrow bridal path. The
almost deafening chirp of the grasshoppers, the
humming of the bees, the twitter of the many
little hints, all Mingling with the mellow tink
ling of the cowherds, the lc of the rippling
fountains that gushed down the mountain sides,
and the many variously colored dowers upon
which the insect tribes were feasting; all seem
ingly blended Into one strain of hallowed music,
which sounded like some anal chorus among
the wild crags that lock in this small paradise.
There was something in this scene, so soft, so
sweet, and yet so lonely, that it seemed Indeed
more like a dream that reality.' There was tile
drowsy hum of bees that conscious that summer
is but short, were toiling diligently. The songs
of the birds that must soon forsake this lovely

A sUiTclimb of four hours brought us to the
summit, and the whole Indescribable scene burst
Into view. Beneath us lay the Lake of Geneva,
locked In by snow-crowned mountains on one
side, and soft, green slopes and vineyards on the
other. I cannot describe the scene As I saw it,
nor the two whole hours I spent in reflection and
contemplation on the smotnit. It was beautiful
and grand without parallel.
I have seen lakes closed in on all sides by gi
gantic mountains; lakes whose shores were
tit tabled with habitations, and whose slopes were
the no plus ultra of loveliness; lakes with wild.
romantic beauty, where cascades and cataracts
hung like threads from the sky into them; but
Lake Geneva surpasses them nil. An I ran my
eye over its Waters, and saw the many little skifls
gliding like phantoms over Its bosom, I imagined
I saw it again ruffled under the oars of the Ro
mans, and lived in ages long since post. But a
cloud hung between the scene and my eyes, and
I could not see it right; for I had partedwlth my
g'nltle, and the parting was " fu' tender." Ile had
lightened many a wca y tulle, bad nude so many

hand of Joseph to say farewell, we both looked nt
each other through moist eyes. " Farewell, we

turned on his heel anti was soon out of sight. The
last I saw of him was his '• umbrella" describing
several scald reles in the air, as lie hurried down
the uneven pathway, •
here I was alone again In the world, and betook
myself to whistling for fear of taking to that more
consoling amusement, crying.
llurrying down the mountain side I arrived at
Clare's at four in the afternoon, where, after de
posit log my knapsack in the Inn, I 'droned down
to toe lake. It being hot, and I dusty, I soon
plunged ink) the water and swain out in the lake.
And now I nit me down to finish these lines;
golden gleam.of light falls through my window.
and the deep-dyed waters of the lake break with
lulling nwtudi upon the shore. • Away in the
distance the Jura mountains are capped with
clouds of tinted glory; a few lonely sea gulls win
now lazily over the waters, and the white walls
of Chilton are reflected in the liquid element,
while a few sailing vessels. hover near it, like
glior is of the gaines that once besieged it. Over
on the Savoyard side, the perpentliciarr rocks of
the Dent du Midi, with its everlasting dont; of
snow, has caught up the purple tint oft he sinking
sun, and sends a streak down upon the lake like
a long line, while around me I hear a strange .lan

my eves to annure myself that I am not dreaming,

by greeting you all from the classic and beautiful
