hard times come on us. The burdel
rests especially on this end of tn
State. The upper end of the Stat
will help, hut they want to see tn
people here work and assure the sue
cess ofthe school. Let it be known
that the Baptists are united in thi
one thing. He felt great interest il
having a successor for the Alleghen,
school in this end of the State.
Rev. w. e. Powell. There ar,
none who can appreciate the want o
school as much as those who enjoy
ed the advantages of the Allegheny
school. He urged the persisten
keeping Of this matter before the peo
pie, and urge it again and again.
This school would operate as an at
traction to all parts of the State,
The idea of success ought to be KEEP
steadily in view. The amount asked
for is less than Two dollars for each
Baptist in the State it can and must
be ri.ed.
Rev. T. Allen, said he did not be
lieve there was a better State than thi:
in which to grow men and women
They have number of West Vir
ginians in Ohio and he pitied thi:
State because good men were leaving.
The best men will be educated, and
is they can't be at home, they will
20 abroad. Bro, Nixon from West
Virginia went to school in Ohio and
got anchored. Many of the best
men in Ohio went from West Vir'
ginia. -
People from other States are com.
ing here to deyelope our resources,
and now is the time to stir up this ed
ucation matter; suppose you have
died at Allegheny, its no reason the
Coalmouth school shall die. Urged
the united and continual action OF
the preachers, members and ministers
Do this as the other States are doing,
and God will bless you.
DR.. Dickinson said the Allegheny
College was not a failure; that he
was constantly meeting men who
were educated at Allegheny and
there were hundreds who were made
men by that College, and the invest
ment was good one.
Virginia is making an effort to
raise one dollar from every member
in the State for Richmond College,
which will make S75, 200. Every
man who is loyal TO the church, is to
pay dollar, and those who have left
it will be charged two.
If no money is raised, the excite
ment will do the church good; the
people will think and talk over Bap-
tist principles, and every man will
stand up straighter, and he is afraid
the people will be too combative.
The old preachers have done very
well, but their time is almost over /;
the people are coming tramp, tramp,
tramp, and the old preachers will
have 10 step back.
Bro. VI. Bibb, says the Baptists of
West Virginia must be better orgaui-
zed than they have ever been before !;
it is hard to get contribution for
Missions but harder to getIt for edu-
cation. Proposed to give one broth
er good salary to attend to this
matter. Thinks Ohio owes this
State Il great deal Of money. w.
K. Williams, thinks he can raise one
dollar from most of his members and
more from others, averaging two
from each. But urges the Importance
Of perseverance.
Bro. Farrow, said that to aver
age two dollars apiece, that
every man should be urged to give
all they were able SO as to make it
average. The upper part Of the
state feels as much interest in the
school as this. The Greenbrier
country and the Kanawha Valley are
one. Let the people OF the Kanawha
Valley and the Greenbrier Valley
give their money and then ask others
and they will get it. Young men
are continually leaving this country
because they cannot get an education.
The Colleges that have died were not
failures. Many good men started
out from them
Rev. Il. Pack said he had been
discouraged because the people had
not been sufficiently united in the
effort. lie recommended one mar
being put in charge Of the work, tC
keep it before the people.
Rev. b. Cade, said he rose to as
sert his continued devotion to I'll,
Coalmouth school. lie is convinced
it will not succeed until the whole
Baptist family in the State be enga
ged lie thinks the time is propitioui
for the movement, and he urges thai
the matter be pressed forward lie
proposes that sub committee be ap
pointed, and all means be used t'
bring it to the notice of every mem
Der in the State. There are mer
who have stood by Coalmouth anc
who will stand by it till the end.
