biiould be urged to live righteously, putting
aside all selfish and partisan iniiuences,
they should act nobly and
Loldly lor the best interests of the

And to this end the whole "7,000"
luithful ones should continue instant in
grayer. There are many times more
true Christians in our land than the
7,000" in Elijah's time. If every one
Miould in humility and faith pray for
tue out-pouring of the Holy Spirit in
converting power, what a great revival
would spread all over .the country and
sinners would come to the Saviour by
thousands and be saved. There is no
other agency to be compared with
prayer in its efficacy in bringing about
desired results, provided of course, they
are in accordance with God's will.
That prayer may be effectual the requirements
are faith and love, earnestness
and sincerity and "Abiding in
Christ." John 15-7.

name.
"Hitherto ye have asked nothing In
my name, ask and ye shall receive."
The promise: "Whatsoever ye shall
ask the Father in my name. He will
give it you." The resultant blessing?
"That your joy may be full."
There are little bands of "two or
three" with JesuB in the midst pleading
for this blessing.
There are larger prayer circles crying
out for the showers of blessing,
there are devoted pastors agonizing In
prayer for the conversion of the world.
Some see signs of an awakening among
Christians and see the ripening harvest,
and the scarcity of laborers to
gather it, and why is the blessing withheld?

CHAMBERLAI>'-HUA'T ACADEMY.
Through the kindness of Dr. M. E.
Melvin, the principal, it was my good
fortune to. visit the above named seat
of learning and culture. On Sunday
morning, May 19, the baccalaureate sermon
was preached and in the evening
the address was made to the Y. M. C. A.,
both services being held in the Presbyterian
church at Port Gibson. The
graduating class numbers
young men, many of whom expect to
enter college next fall. The attendance
during this session reached the large
number of 168, and more than twentylive
could not be received because of
no room for them. As a body, there
was never any better assembled together
at Chamberlain-Hunt Academy. The
control has been easy, for obedience
was prompt and willing. The cases requiring
discipline were very few. The
writer had some surprises in connection
with his visit. The topography of
the situation was entirely different from
expectations. Instead of lowlands, the
academy is on hills several hundred feet
above sea level, and this Is the condition
for miles. The freedom from malaria
is manifest. Good health is sure
and inevtable.
When Dr. Melvin took charge four
years past, Chamberlain-Hunt Academy
had reached a low stage. From less
than, fifty students in the first session,
it has grown to the figures above mentioned.
What has brought about this
marvelous increase?'Perhaps the change
in methods of Instruction. Formerly,
it was a preparatory for classical colleges.
Now it offers choice of four
courses?the old classical, the agricultural,
the scientific and the commercial.
It has been said that only five persons
of every ten thousand In the State take
a high school education, and only three
a college education Many boys do not
seek any school after the academy.
Hence the necessity for flexibility in
the studies, especially to enable more
of the boys to be prepared for a life
work which is not based on a classical
course. It remains for such as wish it.
(1) The commercial course offer typewriting,
stenography and bookkeeping
?all in regular course and no extra
charge for the same. (2) The scientific
?a well equipped laiboratory furnishes
a better field for experimental research
than some small colleges. (3) The industrial?A
Miller school man teaches
wood work and some iron craft. Tables,
desks, chiffoniers and other furniture
have been made for the actual use
of the academy. The laundry, the electric
light plant, etc., afford mechanical
training for some who wish such study.
(4) Agricultural?on a farm of two
hundred acres, most of which is still in
grass, several find congenial work.
Fine Berkshire hogs are raised In such
numbers that they prove a source of
profit. A dairy herd of Jersey cattle
is being ibuilt up as the naoney'is available
and young cattle grow. Truck
gardening thrives, not merely feeding
the boys but selling some. Last season,
there wera sold over a hundred thou4L

sand sweet potato slips which was onehalf
of the demand. The fanning is
along the very best lines as taught by
a graduate of Clemson College, an expert
in agriculture. Enrolled among
the students was Stephen J. Henry, who
won the corn club prize in Louisiana
tor the year 1910 with a record of 148
bushels to the acre at a cost of thirteen
and a half cents a bushel.
In the various departmeu*, thirty
boys are doing some form of practical
work by which they pay a part or all
of their expenses at school. Is not that
a great help to needy ones? Somebody
ought to give the academy $500 to. build
a new barn. They need a mower to
cut hay. Somebody send It
The equipment in buildings for recitation.

However there is room for (1) a house
in which the Y. M. C. A. can meet, tha
library placed and the literary societies
hold their exercises. (2) A small hospital
for possible emergencies. The religious
life is strong and healthy. There
is a four years' course in the Bible.
The Y. M. C. A has a good number of
members and the interest is manifest,
which I say from personal knowledge.
Several candidates for the ministry are
at Chamberlain-Hunt Academy.
The policy of preparing boyB for a
life work without going to college has
met with success. May Dr. Melvin have
many years to spend in this good work.
It is proper to say that Mrs. Melvin
has a personal oversight over the boarding
department, not only giving out the
meals, but she and Dr. Melvin eat at
the same table in the dining room, and
eat what they have served to the boys.

This the management
is now doing. It is owned and controlled
by the Presbyteries of Central
.Mississippi and 'Meridian. Its rapid
development justifies the faith with
which those Presbyteries founded it.
Special interest attaches to this catalogue
from the fact that it reports the
institution's first year. The college occupies
a commanding site just outside
the city limits of Jackson, Miss., and
for situation, healthfulness, attractiveness,
and accessibility has advantages
surpassed by none.
LANTERNS IN CHINA.
There has long existed among the
Chinese a passion for fireworks and
lanterns. Travelers have called China
the land of lanterns, and the term is
apposite. In every city, at every port
and on every river and canal as soon
as night comes on lanterns make their
appearance. They are hung at the
door of every dwelling; they swing as
pendants from the angles of pagodas;
they form the fiery crown of every shop
front; ?hey cluster round the houses of
the rich and light up the hovels of the
poor; they are borne with the carriages
of travelers, and they swing from the
yards and the masts of vessels.

My son, Bascom, attended the Bingham
School (near Mebane, N. C.), last

we will send him back 'there this fall.
He succeeded splendidly with all of
his studies and his health was greatly
improved in. that very healthy climate.
He did as much work in one year at
Bineham as in two years at home, and
improved greatly in penmanship and
music. Respectfully,
