KING COLLEGE.
An important event in the history of
King College has just transpired, viz.:
the * laying of the corner stone of the
"Caldwell-Tadlock Memorial Hall," on
the 5th of August. This is the forty-second
anniversary of the opening day of
the first session of the institution as the
Bristol High School, and the fortieth anniversary
of its opening as a chartered
college. Under the beautiful trees on
the campus the friends gathered to participate
in the exercises of this auspicious
occasion. Addresses appropriate to
the occasion, recalling much of the history
of the college and the self-denying
labors of the Rev. Geo. A. Caldwell and
Rev. J. D. Tadlock in the days of its beginnings,
were made by Drs. C. C. Carson
and S. R. Preston. Others participating
were Dr. Wallace, President Smith
and John H. Caldwell the president of
the Board of Curators. Rev r-oi#!
well's widow and Dr. Tadlock's daughter,
Mrs. Wallace, deposited valuable historic
articles in the corner-stone.
This is the first building erected since
1893. It is the beginning of greater things
along this line for the old college that
has done so much for the church and the
nation?a college whose foundations were
laid in prayer and which was dedicated
to the glory of God by the fathers whose
names are on the old and the new buildings.
Nobly and heroically did they do
their work to meet the needs of church
and state in those dark davs following
the Civil War. By the liberality of Rev.
James King' who in the year 1867 gave
property worth then about $15,000, the
college became a possibility, and by the
arduous labors of the Rev. Geo. A. Cald
well and the Rev. J. D. Tadlock it was
projected on its high mission. Sixty-nine
preachers out of its one hundred and
thirty-three graduates, are belting the
globe with their influence for Jesus
Christ, while many of the other sixtyfour
have been ornaments to the other
orofessions and various pursuits of life,
?three of them at one time members of
Congress. Who can estimate the eternal
fruitaee from the inhnw ?L

founded King College? The redeemed
in glory will sing everlasting hallelujahs
because of its birth and its mission. But
its work is not yet done. It rises from
the conflicts and adversities of its past
history where splendid victories have
been achieved stronger than ever and
facing a brighter future.
Seventy-seven students were enrolled
last session after the college had been
closed for a year, and next year there
will be a hundred or more. A faculty of
noble instructors will greet them, with
such men as President B. R. Smith and
Revs. Dr. Wallace and Asa Watkins
among them, and what mav nnt

Oh you men who have money In your
possession, as Qod's stewards, why not

j ed for its God-given work? Your material
enterprises will perish, the biggest
of them; but this work in mind and
j heart has the sweep of eternity before It.
