Dear Brother BrODn,-You will be glad to learn
that the subscription of $50 000 supplemental to
the Endowment Fund of Hampden Sidney College,
has at last been completed. 1t was virtually fin.
ished on New Years day by young minister OF
our Church who nobly contributed $500 to the OBJ
ject The few dOllars-less than one hundred
that remained to be be made up have since been
subscribed. The whole sum does not seem large
contribution from the many friends of this veneer
able College, but it has been raised amid peculiar
dficulties,-in time of extreme and ever increas-
ing pecuniary stringency, and we should thank God
for it.
The subscribers to the fund will all be reminded
within few days Of the precise sum promised by
each, and the conditions on which it was pledged.
1t is earnestly hoped that the College will now
enter upon o new era of prosperity, and that the
work of endowment will be carried on with distin-
gushed success by Rev. DR.. D. B. Ewing the en-
ergetc aud excellent financial agent lately appoint
ed by the Trustees of the College,

Hunting for Amos.

The lesson paper is fine thing and useful in its
way. There is but one objection to its use, and
that objection arises from having the Scripture
words of the lesson printed in it. At first thought
this may seem an advantage. But its disadvant
age is that the children form the habit of going
without their Bibles, and depending entirely upon
the lesson paper for all the words of Scripture
which they use. Luck at queer instance of the
way in which this leads to the neglect of the Book
itself. A few weeks ago, when the lesson was 10
the fifth chapter of Amos. well-known Brooklyn
clergyman announced that chapter to be read at
family prayers. 1t is his custom to read, while
each member of his somewhat numerous family
provided with copy of the Scriptures, looks over
the passage The minor prophets are proverbislly
hard to find ; and the children of the dominic, who
are pretty good at finding the ordinary used books
of the Bible, had slow work in turning to Amos
He, seeing their lack oil hardness with Amos, at
once offered cash prize to the first one who
should fad the chapter, but qualified his offer by
saying that it would be good only tor five minutes.
There was lively fumbllng through the pages
Presently one of the children bethougbt herself to
look at the index. This brought about success.
ful result in four minutes and forty seconds from
the time Of the offer Of the prize, and she won the
cash. The others, however, who had not thought
of referring to the index, chimed In with chorus
of, oh that wasn't iair Anybody could have
some families who think they make good use of
the Bible.
Another instance :: The same dominic was once
addressing the Sunday School of $3.50 900
church, an eminently respectable concern which
prided itself largely on its diligent study of the
catechism. Here, if anywhere, he thought, he
ought to fnd thorough acquaintance with the
Scriptures He had occasion to refer to Habakkuk
iii 49, and asked the children to turn to The verse;
the first one fading it to read it aloud. There was
a woDdrous and protrscted fumbling through both
Old Testament and New. The scholars looked as
if they would like the speaker to relieve them by
reading it himself. The teachers sat in solemn
dignity not trying to find it, for reasons best known
to themselves. The dominic let all hands take
their time. After some delay small lad held up
his hand in token of having discovered the place,
and was told to read it. He read Z" counsel thee
to buy of me gold tried in the fire. that thou may
est be rich, etc. An audible smile pervaded the
assembly when it was made manifest that the near
est approach in that whole school to finding Hs
bakkuk, was 70 ind passage in the Book of Re-
velation ! Christian at Work.
