Bible gusty of Norwalk and its

NINETEENTH ANNUAL maronr.
One by one we have counted the hurrying
days of another year, and to-night we are
met tocelebratc the nineteenth anniversary
of our organization. The Standing Commit-
tee avail themselves of this opportunity to
recount God’s goodness, and to acquaint the
members of the Society and the friends of
the Bible with our past work, present condi-
tion and future prospects.
The year just passed. has been much like
the years proceeding it. No special aggres-
sive work has been attempted. We are not
permitted even to speak of results on the
work proposed in our last annual report, for
the reason that the work itself has not been
accomplished. We spoke in our last report
of a circular letter which your standing com-
mittee intended to have written, printed and
sent to the twenty or more evangelical
churches within the limits of our territory,
asking them to co-operate with us in our
work, by their contributions, and by appoint-
ing brethren to represent them in the stand-
ing committee. We also had under consider-
ation a plan for holding quarterly public
Bible meetings in our own and adjoining
towns,to acquaint the people more thoroughly
with our work, hoping to inspire a deeper
love for the Bible, and a stronger desire for
its distribution among those who are withou
it. Neither of these propositions, we regret
to say, have been carried into effect, owing
partially to the fact that our regular quarterly
meeting in August, at which arrangements
for their prosecution would probably have
been made, failed, and no business was
transacted. The matter of co—operation with
the Connecticut Bible Society, which we
reported last year as having been under con-
sideration by your Committee, but was
waived for the time b0lng,hila been thorough.
ly deliberated upon recently, and your Com-
mittee have unanimously voted to recommend
to the Society a transfer of our relations as
an auxilliary from the American Bible Society
to the Connecticut Bible Society. If the
Society shall pass the resolution which will
be submitted, to you for action, at a later
stage of this meeting, it is more than probable
that within six months time a thorough
canvass of this town and those adjoining that
have not been canvassed, will be made.
Darien, New Canaan, Stamford and Green—
wich have recently had such a canvass, and
attended with excellent results. This malt...-
will be more fully explained when the resolu-
tion is submitted. Your Committee have
appointed one of its number to prepare for
printing, without delay, the circular letter
above referred to, so that we hope to welcome
at our first meeting in May, representatives
from a much larger number of churches than
ever before. Arrangements have already
been concluded for a public Bible meeting to
be held in the Congregational Church,Wi1ton,
the second Sabbath in July, and another. at
Darien in October, so that while your Com-
mittee may not be permitted to point with
any great degree of pride or self-gratulation
to the work of the past two or three years,
we do feel inspired to hope that at our next
anniversary, by the blessing of God to be able
to report a deeper interest in this glorious
cause in all the Protestant churches within
our territory, and every family visited and
supplied with the word of God.
The work of the National and State Socie-
ties, and their relations to each other and to
us, will be explained by speakers who will
address you this evening.
The financial condition of the Society will
appear in the reports of the Treasurer and
Depositary. A. to the Book itself, which is
destined. by the blessing of God to exercise
'auch an evangelization of the world permit
us to ask your attention to a few extracts
from the pen of Rev. 7 Dr. Schafi‘, who is
widely known as a close student of the Book,
of which he writes as follows:
Viewed merely as a human or literary pro-
duction, the Bible is a marvelous book, and-
without a rival. It embraces works of about
:t'orty authors, representing the extremes of
society, from the throne of the king to the
boat of the fisherman; it was written during
a long period of sixteen centuries, on the
banks of the Nile, in the desert of Arabia,
in the land of promise, in Asia. Minor, in
classical Greece, and iii imperial Rome; it
commences with the creation, and ends with
the final glorification, after describing all the
intervening stages in the relation of God and
the spiritual development of man; it uses
all forms of literary composition; it rises to
the highest heights, and descends to the low-
est depths of humanity; it measures all
states and conditions of life; it is acquainted
with every grief and every woe; it touches
every chord of sym athy; it contains the
spiritual biography 0 every human heart; it
is suited to every class of society, and can be
read with the same interest and profit by the
king and the beggar, by the philosopher and
the child; it is as universal as the race, and
reaches beyond the limits of time into the
boundless regions of eternity.
The Bible is the first and last book of re-
ligion. It enriches the memory; it elevates
the reason; it enlivens the imagination; it
directs the judgment ; it moves the affections;
it controls the passions; it quickeiis the con-
science; it strengthens the will; it kindles
the sacred flame of faith, hope, and charity;
it purifies,ennobles, sauctifies the whole man,
and brings him into. living union with God.
It can not only enlighten,reform and improve,
but regenerate and create anew, and produce
effects which lie far beyond the power of
human genius. It has light for the blind,
strength for the weak, food for the hungry,
drink for the thirsty; it has a counsel in pre-
cept or example for every relation in life, a
comfort for every sorrow, a helm for every
Wound. ‘
Of all the books in the world, the Bible is
the only one of which we never tire, but
which we admire and love more and more in
proportion as we use it. Like the diamond,
it casts its lustre in every direction; like a
torch, the more it is shaken the more it is
shines; like a healing herb, the harder it is
pressed the sweeteris its fragrance.

The coming man in France_will not smoke.
The consumption of tobacco in that country
is not increasing, and M. Leroy Beaulicu is
confident that the sons are smoking less than
the fathers used to do twenty years ago.
It is stated that a well-known English
sporting nobleman last year paid a bill of
$1,000 for medical attendance upon his pack
of bounds. The Albany Evening Journal
says he must have thrown considerable physic
30 tiltfddgl.
Inlplt‘e of previous reports to the contrary,
the bell-punch is considered successful in
'Vi‘filnll. After deducting all rebates, the
to gain for one year over over the old law
is $110,000, and the Auditor believes that the.
new law can be so modified as to be “a most
99119131 agency for raising revenue.
The Tramp Law.
A very mistaken and “fOJIish attempt is
made by some persons offldefi'cient intelli-
gence to excite prejudice against, the new
tramp act upon the ground that it is a perse-
cution of the poor. The probability is that
those who raise this ob'ection have not read
the law 01' else are unable to understand
plain English. The law was designed to re-
press an intolerable nuisance and for nothing
else. It was not designed to do any injury to
any honest poor man honestly seeking work,
and there is no danger that any attempt will
be made in Connecticut to so construe any of
its provisions. The men who make use of
such can't know better. No one over bcaid
of a mechanic or laboring man in this State
being arrested or Oppresscd merely because
he was going from one place to another seek-
ing work. Such things do not happen, and
are not likely to happen under the new law.
But every man of ordinary intelligence who
knows that for several years past during the.
mild weather this State has been infested by
a i'uscally gang of foreign tramps. in most
cases the off—scouring of foreign penitentia-
rics, not seeking work (far from it), but
simply determined to live off from the coun-
try without labor. There can be no mistak—
ing the class for whom the law was intended:
They are a class who refuse work when it
is ofIcrcd, and will also refuse cheap food
insisting upon having the best the farm
house affords. They are the wretches who
never fail to insult women when they find
them alone, and who if refused good food
and lodgings will take their revenge by set-
ting firc to barns and houses. There is
hardly a country town in this State, along
the old turnpike from New York to Boston
but is kept in a state of terror during the
summer months of every year, and of late
these depredations have extended into other
parts of the State. They are the sort of
brutes whom Hartford has fed and lodged by
the thousands for years, until an hour’s hon-
est work was demnnded in return. Now
they prefer to sleep in barns and unoccupied
buildings in the outskirts, but still manage
to make a good living from the mistaken
charity of those who are either afraid to re—
fuse, or who have not yet learned that indis—
criminate alms—giving is the foster-mother of
paupcrism. Everybody who has had any or-
pericnce of country life, especially along the
main lines of travel, knows that the evils
have not been exaggerated. The poor people
in the thinly settled districts have felt that
they are at the mercy of a thieving gang of
miscreants,who only needed opportunity and
a feeling of safety from punishment to con.-
mit the most outrageous crimes, and whose
begging demands must be met under penalty
of suffering some cowardly revenge.
The evil in this State has been aggravated
by the repressive measures adopted by neigh-
boring States until sclf-protection demanded
that such a law should be passed here as
would prevent this State from being any
longer considered the tramps’ paradise. The
measure adopted by the last legislature was
the same which has resulted in freeing the
state of New Hampshire of the class known
as criminal and worthless tramps. If earn—
estly enforced it will have the same effect in
this State, and it will not injure a single
honest man in search of work.
For partisan purposes efforts may be made
(one was made last week by Congressman
Gillette of Iowa) to persuade lionat work-
ingmcn that the law is designed, or may le
construed, to their injury, but there is no
danger of their success, for such representa-
tions are false, and it is an insult to honest
workingmcu to put them in the same catego-
ry with men whose crimes have made the
pleasant country by-Ways of this State unsafe
for women and children without escort. The
public sentiment which called for the enact-
ment of the law will sustain its enforcement
and can be trusted to correct false impres-
sions as to its meaning. and the sickly senti-
mentality which seeks to throw a halo of
glory around the spawn of the European
jails.--Hartford Commit.

LOVE.
Love is the theme of saints above;
Love is the theme of saints below;
Love isof God, for God is love;
With love let every bosom glow.
Love to the Spirit Of all grace,
Love to the Scriptures of all truth 1
Love to our whole apostatc race,
Love to the aged, love to the youth.
Love to each other; soul and mind
And heart and hand with full accord,
. In one sweet covenant combined
To live and die unto the Lord.
Christ’s little flock we then shall feed,
The lambs we in our arms shall bear ;
Reclaim the lost, the feeble lead,
And watch o’er all in faith and prayer.

"Wounded in the House of His
Friends.”
Senator Zack Chandler spoke again in the
Senate on Friday, and as is panel with him,
made it very lively for the rebel element in
that body. As will be seen, our Senator
Eaton fired with indignation,called the Mich-
igan statesman to order, and the cruelest cut
Mr. Eaton has yet experienced, was to have
his friend and political ally, acting vice Prea-
ident Thurman, rule against him I Mr. Eaton
is so conscientiously circumspect and sincere-
ly honest in all he does, even to his charts to
shield his confederate fricnds,that Thurman’s
ruling must have been as gall and wormwood
to our Connecticut representative and de-
fender of State rights in the Senate. Indeed,
it was, under all the circumstances, both
heartless and cruel in Thurman to thus sit
down on our Senator. The following is a
report of the conclusion of Mr. Chandler’s
remarks and the interruption of Mr. Eaton:
I lSgiisromr BEPEATING ITSELF.
n 7 when I fir ' '
body with Mr. J eflerksbitioclllafils, Sign? villi:
here forty-four Democrats, twenty Republi-
cans and two Independents. Of these Dem-
ocrats, twenty-eight were from the South
and sixteen from the Northern states. Then
as now, the-Independents in this body upon
every question connected with slavery vote d
with the South. You in caucus then decreed
that Stephen A. Douglas, because he asserted
that he did not care whether slavery was vot-
ed up or voted down,should be degraded from
the_chairmanship of the committee on ferri-
tories, and there were but three Northern
Democrats out of the sixteen who dared re—
Sist caucus dictation, and you degraded him
and put him off from ihat committee. Ah!
sir, then you crowded your men'ofl' the bridge
and they sank to a man in the waters of bo-
1VIOD, to use no more forever.
As I said, history is today repeating itself,
and you are to- day repeating what you did in
in 1857—you are crowding your men of! the
bridge. And the men of to-day, as the men
of 1857, will sink into the waters of oblivion
to rise no more forever. Look at the change
that has taken place since that time. Sir, the
people are more thoroughly aroused to—day
against this doctrine, this heresy of State
rights, than they were from 1857 to 1861.
You proposed to pension Jefferson Davis,and
every single one of yourNorthern allies voted '
to pension him. You eulogized him as a
patriot to be compared side by side with
Washington and all the patriots of the Revo-
lution. and every one of your Northern allies
voted yes. After the close of the rebellion
you claimed that you were poor and suffer-
ing, and we found you poor and suficring;
we found you ragged and poor and we
clothed you; we put upon you the robe of
American citizenship which you had forfeit-
ed, and we killed for you the. fatted calf and
invited you to the feast, supposing that you,
after being clothed, were in your right mind.
And when we invited you to the feast you
said, “We have always owned that calf and
you have no interest in it.". [Laughter]. '
Now you inform us that you are going to
repeal all the Republican measures. What is
the job you have undertaken? You are going
to undo all that the Republican party has
done. Where do you begin? Dolyou begin
at Appomattox or before? It is very impor-
tant to know where youcommence, and then
to know where you propose to stop. You
have undertaken a very large job for a party
of your size and with the people who are to
sit as judges upon your acts. You have
undertaken to unseat a man in this body, but
you will deny that you have undertaken the
job. You have simply undertaken to inves.
tigete the case of a. Senator on this floor that
has been decided by the highest tribunal that
could act on that question. Sir, there are
twelve Senators on that side of the house
that every man on this side believes have
poorer titles to their seats than the honorable
Senator from Louisiana has to his. By fraud
and violence you occupy your seats; now
show us the road how to vacate seats in this
body if you dare!
csLLiiD 'ro ORDER. _
Mr. Eaton, (dem)., of Conn—I call the
Senator to order.
Mr. Chandler—Very well, sir, I will take
your point of order.
Mr. Eaton—My point is that the Senator
from Michigan is entirely out of order when
he says that twelve Senators on this floor
hold their seats by fraud and violence.
Mr. Chandler—I did not say that. I said
they hold their seats by apoorer title.
Mr. Eaton—You said “fraud and violence."
Mr. Chandler—I said we believe it, and so
I do believe and so I have a right to,believe.
Mr. Garland, (dem)., of- Ark., asked that ‘
the exact words be taken down.
