ill bring up the total issues of the Society to volunteers, by the second week in June, to 30,000 copies. Many of Ellsworth's Fire Zouaves said, on receiving the Testaments, We will fight for the book, sir; we will defend it, sir. Mr. Smythe also gave an account of his experience as a Bible distributor. He referred to the action of Miss Brown, and said how delightful it was to think that at the moment her father was preparing to meet the enemy at Fort Pickens, she was going about at Fort Hamilton, like an angel of light, offering the gospel to the soldiers. The Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, in commencing his address, related an incident of one of the Massachusetts troops, who, on unbuttoning his coat, drew from one pocket a Bible, and from the other a revolver. The State militant should furnish the revolver, and the church militant should furnish the Bible; that was a union of Church and State which he thought all would agree was legitimate and necessary.

It might have been said that there were other things with which our troops should be supplied rather than Bibles; they needed muskets instead of Bibles. He agreed that muskets were the first thing needed. The Society he represented was not a society for the suppression of muskets or any weapons of war that would make our troops victorious. When liberty was first imperilled in Massachusetts, her men seized the firelock, and did not turn back even for their Bibles. He believed that men who loved their Bibles most, and who wore upon their heart of hearts its most sacred truths the most deeply graven, would be the first to employ those Bibles to press home those bullets which were to be fired in the defence of rights, such as were imperilled to-day.

It was proposed to distribute 7,000 Testaments among the 16 regiments now forming in the city, which will bring up the total issues of the Society to volunteers, by the second week in June, to 30,000 copies.
