Prayer for Colleges.
By order of the Society for Missionary En
quiry of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary at Greenville, S. C., I have com
piled, from the most recent sources, the fol
lowing report of the religious condition of
our Colleges for young men. Circulars were
sent to 3:SO of these institutions, but only 08
responded. These, however, may be con
sidered as at least giving the average. They
report : 520 instructors, of whom 498 are
professors of religion ; 9,270 students, of
whom 4,075 are professors of religion, 1,133
are pursuing a literary course with the min
istry in view, 704 are regular students of
theology, and 88 intend to be Foreign mis
sionaries. During the past, year, they have
held 204 prayer meetings, have been blessed
with 24 revivals, which resulted in 728 con
versions.
We are safe in concluding, that full half
of the students in the United States are pro
fessed Christians, and that an incalculable
influence for good is exerted by them upon
the remainder ; and, too, there surely 100
young ministers preparing for the work in
foreign lands, besides about 8,000, who ex
pect to labor at home Moreover, it is evi
dent that nearly all of the instructors
Christian men. Let us hope that the Fourth
Thursday in this month will be generally
observed as a day of prayer for Colleges, and
that these facts will encourage Christian stu
dents in their pious labors, and Christian
people everywhere in their prayers.

“Nearer My God to Thee.' 1
Dr. Cuyler says of Sarah Flower, the wri
ter of this soul-touching hymn: “She was
worthy of the name. For “Sarah” signifies
a princess, and sweeter fragrance has rarely
exhaled from any flower iu the garden of
the Lo.d. This gifted girl married Mr. Wil
liam B. Adams, an English civil engineer of
superior abilities. She was of frail consti
tution, and amid many bodily sufferings she
kept her pen at work upon various poetical
productions. At what time she caught the
inspiration to compose that one immortal
hymn which is now sung around the globe, j
we have never learned. Probably it was
some season of peculiar trial when the
bruised spirit emitted the odors of a child
like submission to a chastening Father, ft,
must have oozed from a bleeding heart.
Her hymn first appeared in a volume of sa
cred lyrics, published by a Mr. Fox, in Fug
land, about the year 1841. The authoress
did not live to catch the echoes of the fame
it was to bring, for she died in 1849, at the
age of forty-four. She was buried near H ar
low in Essex, and for several years her name
was known to but few beyond the circle of
loving friends who read it on her monument .
Presently the hymn 1 >egan to work its way
into various collections of songs for worship.
It crossed to America. It. was heard with
delight iu our prayer meetings. It was mar
ried to the noble tune “Bethany.” and every
body caught the glorious strain. I n noon
day gatherings for prayer it soon became so
familiar that if any one “struck up” the
hymn the whole audience joined iu.”
Tin: “Patching a*v> Darning Exhibi
tion.”- As stated in tlie first announcement,
this enterprise had two ends in view —first,
to call attention in a marked manner to the
iinportaneeof having girls and ladies, young
and old, learn to darn neatly; and second, to
secure the contribution of winter garments
lor the destitute in New York. Premiums
were offered by Messrs. Orange Judd & Cos..
Publishers of the American Arjricu/tnrist and
Hearth and Hume, for the best specimen of
patched garments, of darned garments, and
of darned socks or stockings. Under each
class the premiums were sls, $lO, $5,
and $1 50. These were ottered to girls of
any age up to 1(> years. A second set of the
premiums was offered to ladies of any age
over lt> yearn. In order to get the garments
for the winter season, less than two weeks
were allowed for the specimens to come in,
yet- in this brief time the various garments
contributed amounted to a total of 1,309
pieces— a large number of them of consid
erable value, and they will supply hundreds
of the destitute with just what is most
needed for the inclement winter season.
Among them were 278 pairs of pantaloons,
(1(12 for men, and lit! for boys;) 1111 coats,
i49 for men and 70 boys’ coats or jackets:)
52 vests, 28 sacks, 31 dresses, 18 skirts, 47
shirts and chemises, 29 pairs of drawers, 312
pairs of socks and stockings, etc., etc.,
nearly all of woolen fabric. Several inter
esting specimens were reeived, such as a
long pair of stockings, with one hundred
holes darned; a very good cloak made of
lour pairs of pants; one vest and two coat
linings, containing sixty-eight different
pieces, so patched (or stitched) together as
to appear like whole cloth; and many gar
ments so neatly patched and darned that no
little search is required to find where the
repairing is done. Some came from old
ladies from eighty to ninety years, and oth
ers from girls from eight to ten. The con
tributors number four hundred and fifty
three, from twenty-nine different States and
Territories, namely: Maine, 2; New Hamp
shire 3; Vermont, 4; Massachusetts, 24;
Rhode Island, 8; Connecticut, 29; New

A correspondent writing from Halt Lake j
City says that Brigham Young is no longer
the power that he once wa*. During the
year there are great changes, socially and
financially, and the people are beginning to
think for themselves. There are now being
held in the city regular services in the Epis
copal church, the Methodist church, as well
as occasional assemblies of other denomina
tions. Under the influence thus exerted
upon the Mormons, many of the saints have
been induced to abjure Mormonism. and
have been brought back to their former
faith.
i\lr. Gladstone and the Temporal Pov,
kr. —lt seems that a strong petition has
been presented to Mr. Gladstone, asking
that the English government may exert
some diplomatic influence in securing the
tempoarl sovereignty of the Pope. A por
tion of Mr. Gladstone’s reply to the memo
rialists is worthy of remark. It is as follows:
Her Majesty’s government consider all
that relates to the adequate support of the
dignity of the Pope, and to his personal
freedom and independence in the discharge
of his spiritual functions, to be legitimate
matter for their notice.
A contemporary animadverting upon his
reply, very justly says:
He may think it wise to keep on good
terms with the Romanists of Ireland, but
he ought not to forget that Great Britain
has no more reason for upholding the digni
ty of the Pope than it has for restoring the
exiled Queen of Hpain or Napoleon to their
thrones. Italy has decided that Victor
Emanuel shall be her temporal ruler, and
that ends the matter so facets England is
concerned.
A Whole Town Converted. —An extra
ordinary work of grace, says the Congrega
tionalist, is in progress in Bristol, N. H.,
which began on the first of January, when
fourteen young ladies were received into the
Congregational church. First Christians be
gan to pray and labor; then the young be
came interested, then older people, till all
classes were reached. The pastor writes:
“Every merchant, every doctor, the lawyer,
the hotel-keeper, every rumseller, every
drunkard but two, every business man in
the place but two, are rejoicing in Christ.
Whole families again and again were seen
coming together to ask for prayers.” At
present npwards of four hundred are indulg
ing hope. Three-fourths of the inhabitants
of Bristol of responsible age are seeking or
have found Jesus. H. F. Durant, Esq., la
bored there a little over two weeks. The
work is still progressing. The inquiry now
is, not who will come, but who has not
come.
i The Three Fountains.— The Baltimore
Sun, in a report ol the lecture by Archbish
op Spaulding, at the Maryland institute, on
' “Borne and the Conncil,” states that the
Archbishop, in giving an account of some of
the localities about Borne, said : “Where
idolatry caused St. Paul to be beheaded,
there could now be seen three streams of
living water, located at the very spots where
his head made the three bounds after being
cut from his body. ” The Archbishop was
altogether too modest in his account of this
j miracle. We have been on the spot, and,
| according to the priestly attendants, the
| water of the fountain where the head first
struck is very warm ; where it made the next
bound the water is not so warm ; and where
it struck last the water is cold, so rapidly
did the head of Paul cool off. Such was its
impression upon the temperature of the
eai'th that its warmth is still imparted to the
water unto this day, some 1,800 years later.
The only defective link in this chain miracle
is the first. There is no evidence that this
was the spot where Paul was beheaded, or
that any such effect followed at the time.—

The Jews.— According to a recent esti
mate made in England, the number of Jews
in the world at the present time is eight mil

five-aDd-a-lialf millions, of which nearly
three millions are in Bussia and Poland ; in
Austria, more than one million ; in Germa

Annual Exhibit of thk N. Y. Book Con
cern.—The report of the Book Committee
shows a gross profit for the Concern at New
York of 875,382.23. The net increase to the
capital, after deducting amounts paid out
on General Conference appropriations, is
849,021.17. The net capital of the Western
Concern is 813,275.01 less than last year, the
profits having been counterbalanced by the
expenses and losses attending the removal of
the property, while 813,180.50 were paid out
for the support of the bishops.
A Man Drowned in Baptism. —The story
of the drowning of Dr. Pownall, of Sanday
Hill, Ky., in the act of baptism, turns out
to be an infamous falsehood—we will not
siy hoax. It is contradicted by Bev. Isaac
•Errett, editor of the Christian Standard,
Cincinnati, Ohio, on the authority of Kev.
H. B. Taynard, who baptized Dr. Pownall.
The story, however, lias got into circulation,
and will probably form a stereotyped item,

FOREIGN ITEMS.
Friday, Feb. IT.—The French news now ab
sorbs all the interest. The French assembly has
met at Bordeaux. The Red Republicans are de.
seated. The Assembly seems divided between a
constitutional monarchy—-the Orleans family to
be restored —and a conservative Republic. It is
believed that the armistice will be prolonged and
grow into a permanent peace.
domestic news.
Much Excitement prevails because, the Ten
nessee which carried out the San Domingo Com
missioners, has not been heard from. It is now
said slic was not sea-worthy, and it is feared that
she has gone to the bottom.
CONGRESS.
House.—A bill to amend the enforcement act
was taken up. A long debate ensued. The
twelfth section was amended to strike out all that
requires the military authorities to obey a call
made by a United States Marshal or his deputy,
and the bill passed by nearly a party vote—l 44 to
C 4. It contains nineteen sections, covering twen
ty-four printed pages, and is principally an amend’
ment of some of the details of the bill of 31st May,
IS7O, on thesamfi subject. It provides for the ap
pointment, by the United States Circuit Judge, of
two supervisors of Election of different politics in
cities and towns having over 30,000 inhabitants,
and prescribes their power and duties. It also au
thorizes the United States Marshal to appoint
Special Deputy Marshals to assist the supervisors
of election, and prescribes their powers and du
ties, and authorizes them to call to their aid the
bystanders or posse comitatus of the district.
It also provides for the appointment in each
Judicial District of a Chief Supervisor of Elec
tions, and prescribes his powers and duties. It
extends the jurisdiction of the U. S. Circuit Court
to all cases in law or in equity arising under the
act. It also provides that hereafter all elections
for Representatives iu Congress, to which election
the whole bill is confined, shall be by ballot,
written or printed, anything in the laws of any
State to the contrary notwithstanding.
Washington, Feb. 15. —The President allowed
the test oath bill to become an act without his
signature. He says: “If thi3 were a bill repealing
the test oatli required of persons appointed or
elected to offices of profit or honor, it would meet
my approval. The effect of the law, however, is
to relieve from taking a prescribed oath all those
persons whom it was intended to exclude from
such offices, and to require it from all others. By
this law the soldier who fought and bled for his
country is to swear to his loyalty, while the Gen
eral who led the hosts to overthrow the Govern
ment is admitted without it. I cannot affix my
name to a law which discriminates against the up
holders of the Government. I believe, however,
that it is not wise to exclude those by an oath of
office who are not excluded by the Constitution,
and who are the choice of loyal voters.”

The following comprise some of the unanswek
able arguments, why every Planter should imme
diately apply for a Policy of Life Insurance:
1. The changes and fluctuations taking place and
liable to occur in commercial affairs.
2. The unreliability of labor.
8. The uncertainty of crops and of prices.
4. The absence of requisite capital to meet the
losses and disappointments which may occur.
5. The certainty of distress which in most cases
must follow the loss the head of ttie family by
death.
6. The certainty 1 provision for these contin
gencies, which a Lil« Insurance Policy affords to
every family, in a good company.
The Cotton States Life Insurance Company is a
good company, therefore a Policy in the Cotton
States Life Insurance Company is a provision which
will guard your loved ones from want, or pecuniary
distress in the event of your misfortune, or your
death.

WIIO SHOULD INSURE.
ALL CLASSES. The rich, because they can
easily afford it, and reverses may come, or they
may have large estates, but no ready money to
clear off encumbrances; and the result of mal-ad
ministration may leave hut little to the family.
THE POOR MAN, because he may never accu
mulate, aud because immorality and crime are
close companions of ignorance, and poverty.
OUR PEOPLE, especially, should insure. The
war has impaired the fortunes of all, and many
have been left penniless. Before the war wo did
not so much need it.. The institution of slavery
made us independent of this provision. If n man
commenced life with a few slaves, he could rea
sonably expect that in a very few years their natu
ral increase would make his family independent,
But this has been swept from us. It lias been
truthfully said, that but few men, after the age of
forty, have laid the foundation of fortunes. How
many there are who, at that age, and beyond,
have had to begin life anew.
There is no other investment which can be
made by small installments; and the very first
payment made secures the policy as much as the
last.
FARMERS especially should Insure, because it
is tlie surest way of providing for a family. If
wealthy, they can easily afford to carry a policy,
which in the event of death would be worth more
in ready money than a farm. If their property is
encumbered a Life Policy is peculiarly desirable;
for how often is a farm lost to heirs, or its vnlue
impaired by an encumbrance which has not been
removed before the death of the owner? How
easily, too, in planting, an acre or two can he cul
tivated without extra expense, and the proceeds
set aside for the premium on a Life Policy.
POPULAR ERRORS IN SELECTING A COM
PANY.
Many persons imagine that the older a company
is, and the larger its capital, the safer it must
necessarily be. This is an error; as the assets of
a company increase so doits liabilities. The true
test of its solvency is the proportion of assets to
liabilities. Many younger companies are relatively
stronger than those of greater age and larger
growth. And in young companies the fives being
freshly selected, there Is manifestly less mortality.
The unprecedented success of this Company is
the best recommendation it can offer, having issued
over
2,100 POLICIES.
Upon the fives of some of the most prominent
men in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and
Florida.
It issues policies upon all the most popular plans
of Insurance; gives its policy holders every ad
vantage they can get in any company North or
South.
It is now successfully at work in Georgia, Ala
