The plan of the Seminary is peculiar. In
struction is, provided adapted to the various
classes Of the Baptist Ministry. While those
who have enjoyed superior. advantages of lit
erary culture need a complete Girriculum Of
Theological Study, it is important to afford
facilities to those of our brethren whose cir
cumstances have not permitted, and viii not
now allow, their entrance on full Literary
Course. Accordingly, those who wish to purL
sue full Theological Course, 1including the
Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, and the best
Latin writers on Theology, have tbs oppor-
tunity of doing so, the, range Of Study being.
as extensive as any other Institution in the
country. Those, on the other hand, who de-
, sire the most thorough preparation they are
able to gain without knowledge ofthe learn--
ed Languages, can study the Scriptures in
the English version, (as the other Students
do also, and pursue complete Theological
Course in all the topics whichdo not require
Greek, Hebrew or Latin. Each Student se-
lects such subjects as, he prefers and each
subject except the Greek and Hebrew, is
completed in one Session. The'whole range
of Theological Study is divided into eight
distinct Schools, as follows:
l. Biblical Introduction. . 1c5..s., =.
H. Old Testament Interpretation, (English
and Hebreu)
III NcV Testament Interpretation, (Engltsh

Thus Student, if successful may complete
in one year, the Studies of the Schools which
he has selected, according to his preparation
or preference, and can afterwards decide
whether he will continue another year, and
what other subjects he will study. The
complete Course Of the Institution will ordi-
narily require three or four years, according
to the Students ability, thoreughness Of pre-
paration, and diligence. :,
There are no charges for Tuition, nor Fees,
of any kind. Text Books are loaned TO Stu
dents who cannot supply themselves, though
it is much better to own them, if practicable.
Building has been secured, in which the
Students reside and board in common. paying
the actual cost of their supplies. Last year
this was about nine dollars month, besides
fuel, lights and washing 1t is thought that
for the ensuing Session 500 will cover the
entire expense, exclusive of clothing and trav-
elling expenses.
If brethren desirous of attending are una
BILE to provide the whole of the necessary
amount, they are invited to communicate with I
amy member of the Faculty, informing him
how much they can provide themselves, or
secure from their immediate friends, andhew
much assistance they will need. Some breth-
rem have kindly offered to assist in this mat, {,
