College

! College.
On account of the pews of the leatur,
room of st. Paul's NJ. y church .ot hav
/ ing been PLACED in position since Tia.
Thanksgiving supper, the preacher,
this morning met in one Of the elias,
roons. President Mann detained by
sickness, the chair was filled by Rev
J. l.. Houston, and W. II. England
opened the meeting with devotional
exercises
The ministers being called upon for a
report OF the work in their respective
charges, Rev. +, 4. White reported an
extensive revival At Brandywine
Charge, there having been fourteen
persons forward at the altar last night
and quite large number had been con
verted since the revival commenced.
Rev. c. +. shepperd, reported good
work in progress at Mt. Salem charge;
quite large number were inquiring
the way to be saved, and some had al
ready professed their saving faith in
Christ. A good revival work was re-
ported In Scott church, and In the
Union the revival spirit was reported
to be on the increase.
A good feeling was reported for Ep
worth and Madeley, but no special re.
vival was in progress. Presiding Elder
Quigg gave a good report of revivals at
Cherry Hill, Cecil county, Elk Neck,
Hopewell, Zion and other places In that
part Of tn. district.
The Elder also referred to some fnan-
cial troubles through which the Wes-
leyan Female College was now wading,
bnt which he hoped would not result
in any serious embarrassments. liz
said that the trustees had agreed to ap
ply to both the Philadelphia and vii
'nEgion Conferences for $1,000 each,
and they Intended to lay tn" matter b"
fore each OF the Quarterly Conferences
Of the city. The Quarterly Conference
Of Asburv NJ. L. Church, which met on
saturday evening last, had taken the
matter in hand TO help the college
through and he had no doubt thar
the others in the city would do the
same.
President Williams spoke encourag-
nslv oi the inside workings of .Le col
.ege. He said it was becoming more
like a college should be and at the end
OF the year it would be up to his mos
sangnIne expectations.
Mr.. Houston rather thought that
tn" college did not receive that sup
POI from the wealthy classes To whic
it was entitled.
Elder Quigg thought that consider
lhE the fact that there were two ,0d
hlth schools in the city, one for girl,
AMI III" other for boys, the college vas
remarkably well supported, there being
- high as ninety LAY scholars at times
After some more remarks in reference
o the college, the meeting adjourned.

The appreciation growing from the in

on the part Of the audience, that it
gave vent in round after round of ap-
