efficiency in business; but facts proved this TO
be an entirely erroneous view. His experience
of thirty wears showed exactly the opposite state
of facts to exist with regard TO sixty of his col
leqe mates. Besides making all you can out of
men in themselves, there is no better way to
have them prosper in the world than to culture
hem literally. man is educated partly by
ghat he receives ipSo fdct0; partly by what he
taught by his teacher; partly by what he learns
rom books, and still more than all these by the
snseen and impalpable influences about him;
boys character is formed by the IN
fuences brought to bear on him, far more
,ban bv anv direct instruction. The
most successful school instruction is that which
gives q stimulating influence, and makes the
students take the greatest interest in their
studies. Besides, there is no place where adyen-
titious circumstances have so little weight; for
here the son of a statesman and the son OF a
washerwoman may sit side by side and the
one to be most respected is he who has the
greater innate nobleness of soul. In just such a
society there is the most lively and desirable re-
ligious influence. The history of our religious
youth. nay the history of our ministry and
churches all testify to the glad fact that in such
halls of learning revivals of religion abound
The influence of such an institution is thus
its rays of light may fall.

After the spirited singing of 'My Country, It's
of Thee, the box was deposited behind the in
scription stone by II. j. Milford, Esq
The inscription stone occupies the place of the
cornerstone, but is not located at the corner of
the building. 1t was placed on the front of the
structure, Immediately above the second-story
double window. 1t is of the best American
marble, measuring 25X5, and contains the simple
announcement
''SOUTH JERSEY INSTITUTE
1869
In placing the stone, Mr. Milford spoke a;
foliows:-
SIN the name and behalf of the West New
Jersey Baptist Association, | deposit this boy
with its contents in this place, and trust tina
this building may be enclosed finished, anC
filled with our sons and daughters, some O.
whom now see around me, and may the Divine
blessing attend the efforts made use of for the
finishing of the building and the education Of
the youth who may at any time be gathered
within its walls"
Rev. W. Wilder, Bridgeton followed in prayer
and the benediction was delivered by Rev. L. VI
Barker, Cedaryille.
The attention of all the guests was then spe-
cialy called and promptly given to a discussion
of bounteous collation. Hospitality provided by
the ladies of Bridgeton. The long tables were
most bountifully covered with tempting dishes
of meats, pastries fruits, ETC., and the quantity
OF the viands was only equalled by the unanimity
with which everybody, by word of mouth rs
well as other workings of jaws testified to the
excellent skill of the accomplished housewives.
This pleasant interregnum was followed by
felicitous speech by Rev. P s. Henson, d. D.
of Philadelphia, brimming over with rare gooG
fellowship and abounding in a well-concertet
series of remarks upon the prime necessity O.
religious training in all systems of education.
Altogether, the exercises were well arranged
and spirited, and the addresses worthy of
more extended notice than present time aut
space allow The institute will be completed il
another year, an excellent system of preparatory
education will be arranged, and, under its pre-
sent efficient managers, it will be of great valu,
not only to Bridgeton, but to the whole of Soutl
Jersey. LAIRD.
