What He Thinks About Bingham
School at Mebase.

Bingham School, Mebane, N. C.
My Dear President Gray: While we
are pleased with all the honors Joseph
won at school, we are pleased beet of all.
with the moral and religious training of
our boy?no swearing, no swaggering,
uo vulgar stories, no swell headed pomposity?Just
a nice, clean, vigorous boy
of eighteen, who weighs about 180 lbs.,
ready for the cornfield or college.
After spending many years In teaching,
I believe It Is easier to cultivate
?ood habits than to remove bad ones;
better to send a boy to a school where
Pacultv snend mom Mm? in f-ror-nina
a ycung man to do right, than In trying
to nrevent him from doing wrongT that
It is cheaper and better to prevent crime
than to cure criminals; that it is always
better to send a young man, or
boy, to school where he Is likely to be
to the Christian, life, when he is In
the formative period?for these reasonB,
I selected the Bingham School at Me'?pne.
N. C., for my only son. He spent
four years there, graduated at the
school laBi month with good health, unsullied
morals, and the highest regard
for his teachers. No wonder the outlook
for years to come Is bo good.
Very truly,
DANIEL ALBRIGHT LONG, D. D.

Dr. A. J. Morrison, the oompllsr and
editor of this collection, has told the
story of the development of the struggling
Academy of 1776 Into the vigorous
and useful collage of 1876 by a judicious
selection of excerpts from the minutes
of the Board of Trustees. Now and
again foot-notes have been added, giving
reference to authorities, Illuminating
explanation, or brief biography of
some worthy of the past. The body of
the book 1b followed by an appendix of
fifteen pages containing the names and
brief records of the Trustees of 17761876;
thds is followed by a topical index.
the whole being a volume of 186
pages. The value of the volume Is
much enhanced by thirty cuts of portraits

elusions. The recital must impress all
with the fact that the founders of this
college were men of honest purpose and
sound common sense who fully appreciated
the advantages of a liberal education
and were determined that their Bona
should enjoy these privileges, accomplishing
this by patient effort and ilberal
donations. The most catholic spirit
animated these founders and they stated
elearly to the world, "Though the
strictest regard shall be paid to the
morals of the youth * yet all of
every denomination shall be at liberty
to attend the mode of public worship
that either custom or conscience makes
the most convenient to them." TheBe
men are not only generous and broadminded,
they were progressive. A minute
(p. 23), of Sept. 7. 1785, shows that
educationally they were far ahead of
their time. It reads, "Resolved that
when any of the students of this college
shall appear to be as well acquainted
with the French language as with
Greek such students * * shall be
admitted to a degree without being acquainted
with Greek." From time to
time reference Is made to instruction In
Modern Languages?a course not common
in colleges of the day.
The members of the Board were men
of education and of influence la Southride
Virginia; of the 156 enumerated at
least 100 were college bred, representing
Southern institutions of learning,
anJt also Princton, Yale, Union, Dart
uiVUMlf U^UCl OUU| ZUUUCI Ol| CLV>>
The people from whom the college
drew its patronage were gentlefolk of
culture and refinement. Perhaps the
two most widely known of the early
trustees were Patrick Henry (17761799)
and President James Madison
(1776-1820), yet these two are but types,
not at all unique or unusual. These
trustees saw to it that capable Instructors
were employed?men like Samuel
Stanhope Smith, John Blair Smith,
James Marsh, and J. W. Draper, of
these, the last made his first experiments
in photography in the Physical
Laboratory of this Virginia college.
Another fart mnria nrnmJnont Hv
transcript of the record is that the
mantel of the fathers has fallen upon
the children unto the third and fourth
generation. Grandsons of former trustees
are bow members of the Board and
descendeants of th students enrolled
when the college was young have always
formd a good percentage of the
martlculates of later years. Furthermore
the good people of Prince Edward
county are today contributing to the endowment
of the college as their grander
res did of yore and as their fathers
did in their day. So does history repeat
itself.
Altogether, this book cannot fall to be
of interest to the student of social and
educational oondltlons in Virginia from
colonial times to the e's of material development
in the New South.
MORE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

WORKERS.
In The Presbyterian of the South,
under date of June 2<$th, there la an
article headed. "A Word to Ministers of
the Gospel and to Other Christian
worKers." 'rne article tells of an incident
In the life of Dr. W. S. Plumer,
wihlch le well worth remembering, and
the reading of It has prompted me to
tell of an occurrence in the life of one
who was a elose friend of Dr. Plumer.
In the late summer of 1864 the Confederate
Army under General Hood was
battling against the Union forces in the
vicinity of Jonesboro, Ga. In one of
the fights Gray Waddell, the younger son
of Rev. Dr. John N. Waddell, was killed.
Dr. Waddell, who was an enforced refugee.
was notified of the bereavement
end as soon as possible went to the
army e&mp on the sad mission of caring
for the remain* of his son. 'While
(857) W
there, bowed dowa with grief and depressed
by the gloomy surroundings of
the bivouac, he was asked by the soldiers,
many of whom had been pupils
under him, to preach to them oh Sunday
morning.
He consented and a large number of
the boys, who knew and loved him, gathered
to hear him. The service was Indeed
a solemn one, and the gathering
around him of hie former pupils, to express
their sympathy and show their
love, made a scene that words cannot ;
describe.
Several years after the war was over
Dr. Waddell warn living la Mem/phis,
Tenn, asd was Invited by the minister,
who was supplying a church about
fifteen miles from tke city, to assist In - *
Doming a meeting, un Saturday mornlag,
while the people were gathering.
Dr. Waddell waa conversing with the
other minister, and some friends who
were standing In the shade of a tree
near the church, when a blind man led
by a lady called out, "I want to flee
Dr. Waddell." The Doctor approached
and made himself known. The man
said, "My name is Hall; I do wish I
could see you, but I want to tell you the
sermon you preached to us at Jonesboro
brought me to Christ. I want yon to
know it. My eyes were shot out at
Franklin, but I'll see you In heaven?
thank God you came to Jonesboro."
Ib not this, as also that of Dr.
Piumer, an occasional removal of the
veil that covers the working of the Holy
Spirit? Are not these insights given us
that our faith may be made strong to
go forth, as that In the morning we
shall sow the seed, and in the evening
withhold not our hands, leaving the re
suits lu Q-od'e hands.
The sermon is preached, or the persuasive
word is spoken, in trustful
obedience to the Master's will; then forgetting
the things that are behind, it is
ours to press forward to do the service
that is just next at hand. We will see
it all when He removes the veil.
Blessed is that servant whom the Master
shall find watching. 'Tor.
The love of the beautiful is becoming
not only the possession of the rich, but
the desire and possession of the very
poor.?Kl. non. Joan uurnn.
SALLOW FACH8
Often Canned by Tea and Coffee
Drinking.
How many persons realize that tea
and coffee so disturb digestion that they
produce a muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days' trial of Postum has proven
a means, In thousands of eases, of clearing
up a bad complexion.
A WaOhn. young lady tells her experience:
"All of us?father, mother, sister and
brother?had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally we all had
'ch trouble? neore or lew.
"We all were sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagreeable
rRete in the mouth, and all of us simply
so many bundles of nerves.
"We didn't realize that tea and coffee
caused the trouble until one day we ran
out of coffee and went to borrow some
from a neighbor. She gave us some
Postum and told ua to try that.
"Although we started to make It, we
all felt sure we would be sick If we
missed our strong coffee, but we tried
PoBtum and ware surprised to find It
delicious.
"We read the statements on the pkg.,
iore *i*4 In * month and a half you
wouldn't hare known us. We all were
able to digest our food without any
trouble, each one's skin became clear,
tenmiee cleaned elf, and nerves in fine
condition. We never use anything now
but Poetum. There is nothing like it"
