Christian from principle, and not from impulse
or enthusiasm. Duty was his watchward, and
wherever it called him, there he sought to stand.

were hung upon the cross, and =" the life which
he lived in the flesh, he lived by the faith OF the
Son of God"

the most earnest determination evinced to do
every thing possible to place the institution on
a solid basis. The Faculty are winning golden

themselves to the work of re.establishing the

much larger number of students is expected

and if now ready, should come on without de-
