Educational
PASTORS AND SESSIONS.
The time is drawing very near
when the boys and girls from your con*
gregations will be leaving home for
school or college. Is there not something
you can do to put the pastor of the
church which the boys or girls out of
your congregation will hear preach next
session, in touch with these young folks?
It sometimes strikes such a pastor as
almost incredible that a church will do
nothing to follow up its young people.
After nearly twehty years of pastoral
work of this kind, the writer thinks that
lie is writing the truth when he says that
less than twenty-five parents or pastors
or friends have ever written to him telling
of young people who would be in his congregation
for the year?sometimes for
four of them indeed. Yet he has preached
to nearly two thousand students in
college in these years. It is not so bad
when the school is small or the college
is denominational?but even then the
help is tremendous. But in the non-denominational
institutions the thing is vital,
if young people are to be kept within
the influence of the church. Can not
Knmp nnp In the ennereentinn writp the
college pastor to give, at least, the name
of such a student. If the pastor is too
busy, then, Is there not an elder who will
do this much to help anchor a young
man set adrift in the free and easy life
of a large college or university? The
parent ought to do it, but if it is neglected
by the home people, could not the officers
of the church societies or the Brotherhood
take this up as a part of their
work for the Master? However, it is
done or whoever does it, let it be done
by all means and done quickly.
The undersigned writes in behalf of
all such pastors, but especialy in his own
behalf. The work at Lexington is peculiarly
difficult, and there are more Presbyterian
students in this pastorate than
In nnv nthpr in the Southern church, in
eluding th6se in Washington and Lee University
and those in the Virginia Military
Institute. Last year about six letters
were received. This year every parent
or pastor of student who comes to either,
of these institutions is asked to send me
the name at once. Yours for the sake of
the boys, Alfred T. Graham.

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN
VIRGINIA.
For many years past the income of
Union Seminary in Virginia has been too
small to meet its current expenses, despite
the most rigid economy in the administration
of its affairs. There is a
regularly recurring deficit each year,
that renders it difficult to maintain the
high standard of efficiency for which the
seminary is known throughout the
church.
The Synods of Virginia and North
Carolina have ordered, therefore, that a
collection be taken for the current expenses
of the seminary each year on
the third Sabbath in September, and
every pastor, and church session in these
two Svnnria ia nro-oH *r\ oaa ?
? . ? ? ^ m* wu occ tuai men I c
spective churches are given an opportunity
to contribute to this worthy cause,
either at that time, or at some other,
that may be more convenient.
It is true that collections have been
so multiplied of late as to render it
very difficult to take them all, yet Union
Seminary has been, and is now being, so
signally prosperous in her work, and is
rendering such valuable service to the
entire church, in that it is training nearly
half of all our theological students, that
we can not fail to take the collection,
that has been ordered by the controlling
Synods to meet its urgent needs. If
each of the 939 churches in these two
Synods observes ^his collection, the sum
realized will be a valuable contribution
to the current expenses of the Institution.
Give the people a chance, at least, and
send contributions, large or small, to
Mr. William R. Miller, Treasurer, 118 N.
Third street, Richmond, Va., or to Rev.
R. P. Klrkpatrlck, Union Theological
