Did you ever see a sickly baby with dimples ? or a heal thy one without them ? A thin baby is always deli cate. Nobody worries about a plump one. If you can get your baby plump, he is almost sure to be well. If you can get him well, he is almost sure to be plump. The way to do both—there isJyut one way —is by care ful living.

Sister Nanie Seagraves born June 14th, 1814, died October 30th 1891, aged seventy-seven years. In early life she joined the Bap tist church at Sandy Creek, Morgan county, Ga. She united with the church at Antioch Fayette county, Ga., by letter, June 7th 1845 and remained a member of that church till her death. Sister Seagraves was a devout Christian, devoted to her church and her example was such as to win most of her children to Christ before her death.

The church tender to her children, relatives and friends their warmest sympathies and earnest prayers. “When the spark of life is waning.

Dr. Lansing Burrows.—The Standard of Chicago, pays him this merited compliment: The indebted ness of American Baptists, North and South, to Dr. Lansing Burrows, for his service in preparing the Bap tist Year-Book, should be emphatic ally recognized. His distinguished ability in other directions should not hide the fact that he is, by all odds, the ablest statistician in the denomi nation, while the careful attention and the phenomenal industry be stowed by him upon the Year-Book as a whole, entitle him to a rising vote of thanks continental in extent The Pope’s Finances.—lt is said that Pope Pius IX left to his succes sor $9,000,000.

He does not trust his pos sessions to other hands, but keeps his private safe in his own apartments and carries the key of it himself. S. URIC ACID. WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT FORMS. A Clear Description of This Most Sub tle Enemy of Modern American Life ••What a Prominent Professor Says. A well-known professor connected with a leading medical college, in conversation, recently made the fol lowing wonderful assertions? “There is probably nothing which has ever been known in the history of the world that has caused more real misery to men and women than that simple and yet dangerous ele ment called uric acid. This danger ous substance gets into the blood of men and women, and even children, oven before they suspect it, and the havoc that it works is simply appall ing. It causes rheumatism, neural gia, gout and pneumonia. It is the causo of most colds and the actual source of nearly every case of grip. You ask how this dangerous acid gets into the blood? Very easily. The principal duty of the kidneys and bladder are to expel uric acid from the system. They fail to work very frequently, and, instead of being driven from the system, the poison ous uric acid goes into the blood. When once in the blood it ferments, it poisons, it causes unnumbered dis eases and too often occasions death. “It must be plain, even to a novice, that the only way in which to keep this acid out of the blood is to keep the kidneys and the bladder in a strong, a healthy and a vigorous con dition. This is the whole problem in a nutshell, and the man or woman who does this is invariably free from uric acid and the infinite troubles which it causes. I have never known of but one thing that will in every case drive uric acid from the system, and that is Warner’s Safe Cure. It has been found by the medical pro fession to be possessed of properties unknown to any discovery of ancient or modern times. I have known of women who have been weak, sallow, run down, of men who have been de bilitated and wholly unnerved, who are to-day pictures of health and strength, and they know as well as I do that the result is due to but one thing—the great cure of which I have spoken.” The great truths above stated are as certain as existence, and they re veal the real cause of most physical misery of the present day, and they clearly reveal the way of escaping from such misery. N o man or wo man at the present day should be the victim of uric acid poison. That it is very prevalent is most true, but to penhit it to get into the system, or having gotten there to remain, is simply folly. SOUTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. BY WM. 11. WHITSITT. Who that passed through them can ever forget the horrors of the sad yeilrs of reconstruction ? In some respects they were almost as trying as the years of civil strife. Values shrunk up prosperity withered from the land. Privation and discourage ment reigned in every quarter. The fortunes of the Theological Seminary were involved along with the rest. The number of students was increased from year to year, and yet the institution led a languishing existence. Its finances were under strain, and- there were constant pre monitions of disaster. prospect began to brighten a little, however, at the close of the reconstruction pe riod in the spring of 1877. With the autumn of that year came the re moval to Kentucky. The beneficial results of that change, however, did not immediate ly appear. In the closing months of 1879 it began to be seen that the dis aster was imminent. The situation was hardly ever so critical as at the moment when Governor Brown in tervened in February 1880 with his donation of fifty thousand dollars. The condition imposed by him was that two hundred thousand dollars shoukTbe procured within a period of two years. The issue was still uncertain; but he had turned the scale in favor of success. The con dition was duly fulfilled, and on the opening day of the session in Sep tember 1882 it first became possible publicly to announce that the amount was made up and that the existence of the Seminary was assured. The changes that have been ac complished in these ten years have been marvelous in many directions. Not even the most sanguine could have predicted that these results would have fallen out within so brief a space of time. We cannot suffi ciently rejoice in the merciful provi dence by which Dr. Boyce was spared until the year 1887. To all human appearance it seems evident that if he had been called away six years earlier the institution would have gone to pieces. , While we cringe and shudder to recall the dangers through which it has passed and the narrow escapes it has made, it is still comforting to reflect that the enterprise was con stantly under the care of a higher wisdom than our own. That there should be such a school somewhere in the Southern country was an ab solute necessity: it belonged to the march of events; it was a foregone conclusion the moment the Southern Baptist Convention was organized at Augusta. If those who had its in terests in charge did not bring it to completion it was perfectly evident that other hands would build the ed ifice. The time was ripe: the path of duty was plain before us. But surely there was no lack of tribula tions in the path of duty. The friends who stood by our school through all those days of darkness are our pride and treasure. Many of them have passed away: but their names and sacrifices and consolations still survive. They are set down upon many pages of our account books, and hidden in our hearts. The Lord has shown his fa vor more signally in no other direc tion than in the friends he has be stowed. We strive to be grateful for every one and for the help they’ rendered. May the blessing of God rest upon each one, and render fruit ful the sacrifices they have made on our behalf. May He also grant us many more who shall stand in the place of those w r ho have been called away, and push forward the work. During the past session death has once more entered the faculty and the best beloved of its members has been carried to the grave. It is thirty three years since the Seminary first opened its door, and only a single one of the original teaching force is left behind. Men and breth ren, the time is short: the night cometh when no man can work. The attendance this year has been much larger than ever before. In no previous year was it possible to ma triculate more than 166 students: This year 236 names were inscribed. The dormitory building was tilled to its utmost capacity for a portion of the time.. The Library Building, the gift of Mrs. J. Lawrence Smith, was completed a year ago, and is an ornament to the grounds and to the city. Workmen are now laying the foundation of Norton Hall, a splen did structure facing on the Broad way front, which will be occupied about the close of the year. The mercies of the Lord are more than we can number. Wc would not forget that these great mercies impose additional re sponsibilities, and fervently to en treat the blessing of the Lord upon our labors. It is God who giveth the increase. Will not every friend of our institution and every friend of the interests of piety often pray for the Seminary, its teachers and stu dents.

J. G. Gibson, Cor. Sec. HOPE, A BLESSED BALM. BY WILLIE D. UPSHAW,— (lnvalid) (written as he dictated, by his sister.) There is a word I can't explain, It thrills me o’er and o’er. And were it not for its effect My bliss would be no more. Its inspiration long I’ve felt; Os it I’ve often thought; Its prospects I have oft divulged, And thisfewoet word is Hope. Its very sound seems to impart Its meaning—oh, how great I Yet to explain would useless be, Could we not of it partake, How dull would be this life of ours when adverse clouds do come. To know r that they would last always— No sunshine ever dawn! How sore when tossed on life’s rough sea By billows fierce and wild, To have no hope for a better time, A season calm and mild 1 How hard when weary hearts and hands roil with a task undone, To know always one harder far Awaits to be begun ! But how sweet to feel, when we almost faint, And the way seems dark and long, That by and by we’ll reach the end And join in the gladsome song ! To hope is natural to human kind; It begins in childhood years, And leads us, captives, towards some goal. Through mirth and gloom and tears. It is a sweet and blessed balm That makes life’s burdens light, And sheds about our faltering steps, Beams that disperse the night. But best of all, is the Christian’s hope, For its possessor—not ashamed— Crasses are easy for Christ’s sake. That a crown in Heaven be gained. It gives a sweet, a trusting peace Which passeth understanding: Bids tears to dry, sad hearts look up Our, life, our all,commanding. When fade this world’s delusive hopes, And fallen lie earth’s castles down, Bethlehem’s star grows brighter still; And points us to the waiting crown. Oft do I lie near to despair As I think of now', “to-day,” And to persist in such it seems, would wear my life away. But ever as these adverse clouds Around mo gather dark. There conies from this “Star of Hope,” A shining, cheering spark! It liffts me from the sinking sand On the Rock of of Ages plants where waves may buffet and storms de scend. Yet ownward I will advance ! And ’twill e’er be so—oh, blessed thought! Till time is with mo no more— Then light my path across death’s stream To a blissful Evermore.” Hope.an, Hope! to thee I’ll cling, Tho’ thy star bedim or bright; If built oh Faith 'twill ever last And lead me “Home” to Light!
