the latter has beeu done let the following figures

IL has been, and will be the endeavor of tho
Faculty to inculcate the Christian Religion, as
held in all tiIEes by sound Presbyterians the sole
headship Of Jesus Christ over his Church, the
exclusively spiritual nature of her fuaetions. the
entire Independence and separation of Church and
State, and the sacred Importance of holding the
Church and all her teachings apart from and
above every secular and political cOneernment.
1t is manifest hence, that the advantages of this
school Of sacred learning can be consistently en-
braeed by all true Christians, irrespective of di-
versties Of opinion touching secular affairs. But
il is required by candOr that those who reject and
oppose with heat the above holy principles, to
which we are eOnscientiOusly devoted, be not en-
couraged 10 resort to this place, where they will
find neither sympathy nor support in their OppO-
