% It will be pleasant to the friends and
patrons of Statesville Female College to
learn that a gift of $3,000 has beeu made
to that institution. This money will be
used in meeting outstanding obligations
Incurred in building Shearer Music Hall.
The gift was secured by the efforts of Drs.
Shearer and Richards. J. A. Scott.
CHAMBERLAIN-HUNT ACADEMY.
Chamberlain-Hunt Academy of Port
Gibson, Miss., which is ^he Synodical
School for boys of that Synod, has recently
received an offer of $10,000 to be
added to the endowment fund of the institution,
from a generous friend in New
York, on condition that the Synod raise in
six months $13,000 to pay off some debts
of the school. At the recent meeting of
the Synod at Grenada, $2,000 was raised
in subscriptions, mostly from the ministers
an dthe few elders present. Rev. M.
E. Melvin was elected financial agent, with
Jiuairucnons to taKe toe neid at once to
raise the above amount. He has succeeded
well so far and hopes not only
to have the above debt raised soon, but
Ian endowment fund raised that will equal
the bonded debt of the school, $25,000.
This bonded debt is cared fpr by the
present endowment of $24,732, and hence
there is no income to the school from its
endowment. The offer of $10,000 will
constitute a part of this, leaving $15,000
to raise aside from the $13,000. This is
a big undertaking. But the PresbyterIan
church has in this institution a plant
worth $85,000, to which they have never
contributed anything. This amount is
asked to let it live and become a factor
ip the church for providing young men
for the ministry. There are now more
juuug men at uiarKsvme rrom tms institution
than from any other represented
there. Besides this there are mofe candidates
for the ministry at Cfarksvllle
than from any other school.
The school is educating seven young
men by giving them work. Others are
seeking to get in. The whole management
has been changed, until the school
" represents now everything that the
church could want. All members of the
faculty are Christian men of character,
and all are Presbyterians and all are
men of experience. In the judgment of
the leading men of the Synod of Mississippi
there is no place at present where
men of means and big hearts cau make
a better investment for permanent good
than at this institution, which now has as
its definite aim, the turning of young men
into the ministry of the church. We want
five men who will invest $1,000 each, five
who will invest $500 each, and ten who
will invest $250 each. This will give the
school an endowment of $50,000, with
what it has, and free it from debt. Some
of these we have found. Who will consider
the proposition? In smaller
amounts we will raise the balance with
ease. The school now has the best prospect
that it has ever had. This is a time
for sacrifice on the part of Presoyterlan
people. * M. E. Melvln.
