VVe receive stu dents at any time. If Mr. Andrew Cornegie would give The Free will Bap tist theological Seminary at .Ayden N. C. a hundred thou sand dollars for eudowinenf and library, it would do nucb more good than mosi of his gifts are likely to d(» vhere he has placed them.

A’letter from Miss' Sm ie Dowtv informs us t lat sht and her sister Hattie, are >otb having good schools and greatly desire to return to ihe Seminary as soon as they close. VVe hope they will be sure to come and bring a good detachment of thiir scholars with them. VVe are both surpri-ed and gratified that we have been able to send out so many good teach ers in the short time our Sem inary has been in existence. Our friends everywhere ought to call the attention of men of means to the impor tance of our Seminary, itf- great need of endowment, more complete equipment and the sacrifices we are making to sustain it, in hopes that in this way we will find the man or men, woman or women, whom the Lord calls to meet the loud call for endowment and other needs of thelnsti tion.

COMMUNICATION. Dear Baptist: Please allow me space in your paper tosay afew word.s Irom the f(.>llowing Scripture which we find recorded in Rom. 1:16: “For I am not ashamed of the gt-spel o! Christ, for it is the power ol God unto salvation to cverv one that belicveth; to the Jew first also to the Greek." From this scripture we de rive some vi-ry important chf'ughts. vV'e find thatKlng NelmchaJnezzar set up a g 1- .den image ami hec iramau lc that all should fall dt>wn and worship the iraag - he ha. made, and he made a lecre that every one that ' -rshiii ped not that iumsje should bi cast into the tirey fan.a^e Lr all this terrib‘e inrcat there were some th it W'lnli not worship tliat image lb tried to scare the n and lUriki them worship the ima.ue, ba I hen these st-rva'its oi G'nl the Hebrew children woubi stand and confe-s to the king ilmtthet were not ashamed ..1 toe G-isp^I, nor wire they ftlraid that their God would oef !•' my F*t e- 0 '.won t ’a t b gloi ious £ those vvIk lave eoi.fessed. him bei'oi-' men on tJio mo-niiig of tli rc^l!^reclioll,tbl‘^ heshall hca his Lor i say, “come ye bl.ss ed of my Father, inherit th kingdom pr-'pared lor i ou froti. the foundation (;f the woild.
