MOOdy'S Seminary.

Mr.. Moody, the great revivalist
preacher, whose home is in Now Eng
land. is laying the foundation of
school for poor girls. He has found
that in Vermont, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts there are many daugh-
tiers OF farmers, girls of great worth,
who are very anxio IL to have good
education but who have not the means
to procure 1t at the larger serminaries
or female colleges where the expenses
are high. He proposes to found school
of aigh order at which these daugh-
ters of poor farmers can be educated
at very small expense.
Making u particular effort to reach
out il helping hand to these classes OF
poor, who may furn;.l many able
scholars, MIR. Moody's hopes for sue
cess from the beginning seem wei
grounded. Last winter tie school
was in operation under the charge If

small compared with what j: promises
for the coming year. la Il cifcu! + there

Moody says:
1t is the object of those interested
in the establishment OF this seminary
to ail4rd opportunity for those girls
whose means will not permit them to
attend the schools now in progress.
Ii this object can be- gained in purely
Christion home, and thoroughly
practical education be given, and If
