COOPERATION.
Rev. DR.. c. II. Ryland, chairman. pre-
scented an admirable report on "C0opera-
ton" showing that an increasing number
OF churches are contributing TO all OF the
boards, and a larger number Of church
members are contributing. The report
urges that this committee be charged With
bringing the women's missionary societies
of the State into cooperation with all OF the
boards OF the Association. The report
elected brief hut excellent speeches from
DR.. &. Tyrce, Professor &. l.. Cooke. Rev.
j. B. Turpin. DR.. w. T.. Hatcher, and Or.
II. w. Sydnor. Or. Hatcher was especially
happy. as he generally is, in his admirable
and effective speech.
Pending the discussion the order OF the
day the report OF the Committee on Gen
eral Education--was called for and read by
Professor j. 4. Averett, OF Roanoke Fe-
male College, Of Danville. The report eN-
presses qualification that the hard times
have not as seriously injured the patronage
OF our schools and colleges rs was feared.
The report speaks in warm terms OF Rich
mond College, which has this session III
students, OF whom / is are professors Of re-
ligion.
A GOOD EXHIBIT.

male academies and fourteen female acade-
mics and institutes under Baptist control
in virginia; congTatulates tue Association
on their 6ourishing condition, ard urges
that they shall receive still larger patron
age. The report was NadOpted after admit
rable speeches from Professor II. II. Harris,
DR.. George b. Taylor and Dr.. j. A.
Broadus.
DR.. TAYLOR urged that our Baptist people
should send every year larger number Of
students 10 the University OF Virginia, and
spoke in warm terms oil what that great in
stitution has done for the cause OF educl-
ton in Virginia and the country.
Or. Broadus said that he felt at home
here, as during all OF the years he bad been
absent he had still been living in Virginia.
He spoke touchingly OF the influence OF
such men as Gtssner Harrison and William
Ii. McGufey, and other great professors at
the University OF Virginia, in improssiug
themselves upon the minds and hearts
OF those who had been doing grand
work in the world. lie ridiculed the
idea that men should be kept away
nom college on the idea that they
might become like their professors, and
gave an amusing illustration to show tn 1t
a yourg man had better be like his profess
sor than like somebody else not so worthy.
He spoke eIoquenlly and impressiycly OF
The good material TO be educated in Vir-
GINA, and urged that now that in so many
cases farms and stock are worn out, it
would be wise to improve the fresh blood
and immortal mind that is left in the old
State by giving our young men and young
women the most thorough education. He
would have the youth OF the land agree
to be poor in order to be educated, and
made an eloquent plea for the training Of
teachers. He said that there was, In his
judgment, IS good teaching at the Uni
versiiy Of Virginia or Johns Hopkins UNI
ycrsity as at any Of the German UNIVERSE
ties. He concluded an address OF great
practical wisdom aud power by saying
Sense, where IL is sense. is always helped
by education where it is education"
