The piece shifts to George III, detailing a long arc of insanity from first signs in 1765 through repeated attacks, medical care, and eventual tranquil decline at Kew and Windsor, with episodes of mercy, religion, and loyalty shaping a haunted late reign.
The article surveys religious and educational topics including a Thompsonville pastor requesting a 5 percent salary reduction, New Mexico public school figures with religious control and language usage, Amherst College students and faith, and the Woman’s Auxiliary missions fundraising. It also notes a proposed Methodist Protestant General Convention in Baltimore in 1877 and Perkins Institute efforts to train the blind in piano tuning, with mixed views on the viability of blind musicians.
