The G. F. College Entertainment.

On the evening of the 10Th ult., the
girls of G.. F. College gave an enter
tainment and oyster supper to the pub
lie, the proceeds of which was designed
for the purchase of desks for the new
chapel. The affair was conducted,
from its inception to its finale, by the
girls. On entering the chapel we
found it we'll filled with friends, whose
bright faces indicated anticipation of
"much" pleasure, and as the evening
progressed that expectation was more
than met. At the appointed hour
Prof. F. called for order, and the even
ing's entertainment was opened with
an appropriate prayer by DR.. Stain
back, after which the crowd was enter.
tanned, for perhaps ali hour, with a
concert of music and recitation, the
young ladies taking part displaying
good taste and skill in the execution of
their various parts. At the close of
the concert, Prof. Finney introduced"
the desk" to the crowd, which was
greeted with loud applause, the Profess
sor being Disconnected thereby. The
crowd was then thrown upon their own
resources for amusement; and we were
glad to see that they, with the help of
the girls, found those resources abun-
dant for the emergency. The art
Room" afforded much amusement and
instruction, the many pictures" with
which it was filed displaying in their
conception and execution genuine tal>
ent." In due time supper, the event of
the evening, was announced, and a
rush was made for the dining-room,
where oysters in variety of styles,
and other "good things" were served
by the pretty and efficient walters.
Here the hum of conversation, the
sound of merry laughter. the innocent
jest, the pretty costumes and the rattle
of the dishes constituted a scene well
calculated to inspire the looker-on with
a sense of pleasure in the occasional
(eternaD "fitness of things" Supper
over, the elmer man" well filled, every
body was in humor to be well pleased
with everybody else, though from the
indications we observed in "passing
round" some few were more pleased
with sumo few others. The crowd did
not dispense till a late hour, well
pleased with themselves and the girls.
The "sum of the whole matter" is, the
effort was quite success, and the girls
deserved the full measure Of their
success.

Week of Prayer.

The folloSing is the program for
this important service as suggested by

Eph. vi. 10, y.
Monday, Jan. 5.-PraiSe and
Thanksgiving. For the long suffering,
love, and faithfulness of God; for his
many answers to prayer graciOusly
vouchsafed during the past year; the
gifts of his fatherly goodness aud mer-
cy; the general preservation of peace );
for the opening ofall countries to the
gospel, and for the power of the Holy
Spirit in its publication.
Tuesday, Jan. 6.--Humiliation and
Confession On account of national
sins and the increase of lawlessness !;
the non>recognition of Gods Judge,
ments in public calamities unfaithful>
ness to God and His truth ; for personal
transgressiOns the growth of infdelity
and superstition; dissertation of the
Lords day; with prayer that the Holy
Spirit may convince of sin and lead
men to repentance.
Wednesday, Jan. Prayer for the
Church of Christ. That all believers
may be filled with the Holy Spirit /;
that the unity of the Church of Christ
may be manifested and brotherly love
increase that the churches may more
deeply realize their responsibility in
regard to increased evangelistlc work
among the masses; and that the Lords
coming may be more earnestly looked
for. That all pastors, evangelists,

fervent in spirit, diligent in their min.
istry, and faithful in preaching Jesu;
Christ and him crucifed; for Sunday
