Prof. Trowbridge in a brief ad dress introduced Mr. Taylor as founder, along with his Vv’ife, of the school, which has since grovrn into the Brevard Institute. Mr. Taylor arose and bowled to the audience, which greeted him wit h great ap- ])hiuse, but he declined to speak. Dr. Adkins was then introduced and gave some account of the found ing of the school. He was presid ing elder in this district at the time, and he expressed himself as rejoicing that it had fallen to his lot to have a hand in the shai)ing of the school’s beginnings. He re ferred to the restricted quarters of the school in those early days of its history thirteen years ago ; told of the struggles and diinculties, and dwelt upon the faith and devotion of the lirst two teachers, to wdiom had been granted the vision of the possibilities of such a v.’ork in this county. lie traced the history of the school from its small beginning in a nine-room house to the era of the “Red House,” and finally to the direction of the present build ing. After Dr. Adkins’ adeiress Miss Law sang beautifully the liymn, “Come, Holy Spirit,” to the air of “Meditation.” Mr. Turner vv'as the next speaker. He sx)oke chiefly to the young, showing them the importance of high aims and per sonal character, and v.hat could be accomplished by a devotion of life to the best ends. His reini'^rks w’ere full of sound wisdom and strong feeling, and were delivered with earnestness and eloquence. The exercises were closed with a song by the school and prayer by Dr. Adkins.
