took but little time and used it well. Prayers
followed, with volunteer singing; other prayers, brief and earnest, and
then a quartet sang a touching evangelical hymn. Seldom have I spoken to
more attentive hearers than were furnished by these fifty young men. It
was an inspiration to look into their faces and to feel that in a few
years they would all be scattered, if they live, to the four quarters of
the world and wielding a large influence among men. I could but hope that
that influence would be for good. Many earnest prayers followed, and when
an opportunity was offered three young men requested prayers. They were
tenderly remembered. It seemed to me that some of these petitions had in
them the fervor of Pentecost. Two young men were received into the
Association, and when the hour was through I felt that we had been sitting
together in heavenly places in Christ.

And now as a Roman could not end his speech without adding _Delenda est
Carthago_, so I cannot close without saying that if this part of the world
needs Christian schools, if Christian education is the hope of these
regions, then Talladega College ought to be enlarged and endowed. Some who
are giving themselves to this most blessed reconstruction wish that they
had money to add also. May those who cannot come themselves send on
supplies.

We are so sure of your sympathy in our spiritual prosperity that I write
you informally in relation to it.

Sunday, February 10, was a peculiarly happy one for us. In the morning we
had studied together how the Saviour had set the little child in the
midst. At the communion service following there was a large group of
candidates for admission to the church, and then again were the children
"in the midst." Eight were our present pupils; another, a last year's
graduate. Still another was a young man who came to renew his allegiance
to the church of Christ. We wished that all interested in their welfare in
years gone by could look upon them. Several of the younger people admitted
became interested under the preaching of Mr. Moore over a year ago, and
have stood to their post manfully ever since. The present severe weather
causes much acute distress. A recent case had its humorous, as well as
pathetic side. In the bitter zero weather of Friday's blizzard a
microscopic male beggar unfolded a doleful tale, as he basked in the
warmth of the kitchen fire. He gave
