Battles of the War.

By Editor

THE bloody events of the past four years, are thus summed up among the "Intelligence Items," in the American Messenger for September:

"During the war for the suppression of the rebellion, 252 battles were fought, 17 of which were naval achievements. There were 89 in Virginia, 37 in Tennessee, 25 in Missouri, 12 in Georgia, 10 in South Carolina, 11 in North Carolina, 7 in Alabama, 5 in Florida, 14 in Kentucky, 1 in the Indian Territory, 1 in New Mexico, and 1 in Pennsylvania, the only one in a Northern State."

WE notice in a late issue of the Advent Herald in the notice of their Conference to be held Oct. 12, among the questions for consideration is the following:

"Are our churches and brethren meeting the requirements of the New Testament, on the subject of Systematic Benevolence."
