New York: Harper & Brothers. 1869. JOURNAL OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCO- The spirit of harmony which breathed over all the proceedings of our last General Convention was in marvelous contrast with external storms and unfriendly expectations. Its wisdom will be impressed on our entire future. The course of certain Bishops in regard to the change of the title to the Canon guarding our pulpits, and in reference to an alternative form in the Baptismal Office, evinces, that now as ever the Episcopate is the conserver of our unity. We are persuaded that no Bishop can be a disorganizer, and we have certain proof in this Journal of our Convention that the American Church, while venerating the past, sympathizes with the present, and will triumph in the future. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the Secretary who has so laboriously and faithfully prepared this great work. TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE PRISON ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK, and accompanying Documents, for 1868. Albany: The "Argus" Company, Printers. 1869. One would hardly expect to find in a book with this title so much pathos, romance, and true, vital, instructive philanthropy as appears on its pages. Christian gentlemen banded together to aid society to protect itself against the criminal and the criminal to protect himself against society, and in correspondence with men of high Christian breeding and manifold prison labors across seas, have not only elevated our prison system, but they have given us, in this Report, rare insight into the needs, nature, and dangers of the prisoner class. We have lately studied in a New York State prison the same problem, and we do not hesitate to say that there is no field where Christian philanthropy is more needed, or where it could crown itself with more rewards, than among the prisons. It is impossible in a notice like this to criticise fairly their management; but if reformation be the aim of punishment, it may be safely said that our prison system is rolling a stone up hill which nearly always rolls back upon itself. To send out a prisoner after his term, without money and without friends, among his old associates, with nobody to care for him, is to bribe him to come back very soon to his cell. It is enough to break a Christian man's heart to see these homeless, friendless, honorless unfortunates go out into the world again. It is a high crime against these sinners, yet dearly beloved of Jesus Christ, to let them thus depart. It is the claim and the cry of nine discharged convicts out of every ten, "Give me work, and a fair chance to be a man again," and Christendom, except a few philanthropists, make no move to help him. If this country wishes to pay for criminals, let it neglect them. It is cheaper to heal a man than to feed him. Let him go sick for a life-time, and his moral ailment will cost taxes more than any Christian community can afford to pay. We leave this subject, which does and will stare the Christian community full in the face, with the simple remark, that if any man, rich or poor, wants his soul touched into zeal and affection toward the unfortunate, and better still, wants to know a way in which he may imitate Jesus Christ, let him read and ponder this same Report.
