They Say : "God Goes at People Heartforemost. ”
LORIDA is to have a miniature “North
field” of her own —and size and sco>pe
will come with the years.
' Those justly famous Bible Women,
Misses Emma and Tina Tucker, asso
ciated with Rev. B. F. Haynes, of Ken
tucky, have established at Enterprise,
Fla., on beautiful Lake Monroe, (oppo
site Sanford) a new institution, Living-
F
stone College, in which they intend to largely dupli
cate the spiritual and educational work of Moody’s
Northfield.
Enterprise is in Volusia county, 191 miles from
Jacksonville, on the Sanford Branch of tjie East
Coast railroad. The boats of the Clyde St. Johns
River Line also stop there. En
terprise has a history.
Amid Indian Mounds.
In days gone by this was the
place of rendezvous for hunters,
campers and fishermen. The old
part of the “Brock House” was
built fifty-five years ago and has
probably entertained more prom
inent men than any other hotel
in Florida. Grant, Sherman and
many foreigners of note have
honored Enterprise by a visit.
The hotel, fish and game books,
dating back many years, contain
records of fish caught and game
brought in by those who found
the vicinity of Enterprise partic
ularly enticing.
Botanists and entomologists
have found this section the rich
est in returns of any of the
Southern States, and the Smith
sonian at Washington is said to
have more specimens from En
terprise than from any other lo
cality in Florida.
Indian shell mounds are in the neighborhood, and
near by is a pool of water some 300 feet in circum
ference, and of the most beautiful green shade, which
seems to be fed by immense springs that send up
many hundreds of gallons of water a minute.
Epworth Inn, open December to May, a select ho
tel charmingly situated on Lake Monroe in the very
heart of a large orange grove, furnished by the fam
ous Brock House Benson spring water and surround
ed by excellent hunting and fishing, affords first
class hotel accommodations to those who are look
ing for a refreshing health resort amid the elixir of
the best intellectual and spiritual atmosphere.

A delightful Winter Assembly will be held every

THE MAIN BUILDING OF LIVINGSTONE COLLEGE.
ATLANTA. GA., JULY 14. 1910.
is expected that this mid-winter Assembly will at
tract people far and wide.
The Name and The President.
President B. F. Haynes, of Livingstone College, was
a member of the Tennessee Conference for over a
quarter of a century; at one time editor of the Ten
nessee Methodist, (changed to Zion’s Outlook) and
later President of Martin Female College at Pualski,
Tenn., and Asbury College in Kentucky.
Speaking of the name of Livingtsone College he
says:
“In choosing a name, we not only do honor to a
great world benefactor, David Livingstone, but
emphasize the really heroic in human character.
In no man of modern times are the constituent
elements of true Christian heroism more con
spicuously marked than in the life and labors •
of the great missionary and explorer, Living
stone. These distinguishing elements are de
votion, courage, altruism, and perseverance.
With what sublime devotion did he consecrate
his eminent gifts to the one great aim of h’’s
life! With what royal courage he pursued his
great purpose! How beautifully unselfish was
his life and with what sublime persistency he
prosecuted his labors, crowning his remarkable
career with, death on his knees in the lonely
jungles amid the peoples and in the country to
which he had consecrated his life!”
In speaking of the birth and purpose of Living
stone College President Haynes utters such whole
some words about Christian education that we give
their tonic to our readers:
Why Livingstone College?
Livingstone College stands pre-eminently for
one thing in education —putting the heart first in
college training. We believe in educating first the
heart, then the head. Last., and decidedly least,
comes bodily training. This last we seek more
by manual work than by mere athletics.
It is strange and tragic, this widespread error
that makes education a matter of mental train
ing merely, leaving out of the account the far
more important realm —the heart. We maintain
that the surest and most effective route to the
head is byway of the heart. Get the student
saved and you will fire his ambition to be the
the educational work is untrue to the home in not
seeking character-making from the heart out
ward as a primary and pre-eminent need of
young life. Intellectual should be secondary or
subordinate to heart culture.
It is not meant that an inferior quality of lit
erary work will be done in Livingstone College.
The literary work will be equal to the very best.
We do intend, however, to strive ceaselessly and
conscientiously to lead students to seek first the
Kingdom of God in rich, royal, stalwart, Chris
tian character, and then the roundest, complet
est ,and soundest scholarship possible. God
goes at people heartforemost. The true home
does the same. So should the teacher.
This school will be undenominational. But
consecrated intellect and Christian character will
be the chief purpose and meaning of a Living
stone diploma.

very best and all that is
possible to become in life.
There will be then a ready
and easy acceptance of ev
ery means possible for

Personal salvation arouses
and invokes a conscience,
brings young life in touch
with God, elevates' and
broadens the vision, refines
and ennobles the ambition,
and makes education mean
ten thousand times more to
the young. To stress mere
intellectual culture in school
life to the neglect of per
sonal salvation, subtly and
inevitably tends to abnor
mal development—to cold,
frigid culture, and to the
atrophy and practical pa
ralysis of the nobler and
profounder capabilities and
powers of the soul. Just
