AMI in the galleries and yet many had 10
turn away for want of accommodation.
Beautiful flowers decorated the churcl
and their sweet fragrance filed the air.
The pupils of Harwood Seminary occu
pied front seats on the right and the pu
pills of the Male Academy on the left. The
faculty of the two schools were seated on
the front seat, while the trustees were on
the right
A choir OF young ladies of the Seminary,

several selections The song of Miss
Anna Hair was specially pleasing and
sweet.

turned my feet unto thy testimonies. T"
The sermon was practical and logical i'm
pressive and pointed. The lesson deduced
was the proper training OF the young mind,
at that formative period when they are
susceptible to bad and good influences.
Thought develops the mind, moulds the
character, gives dignity and tone, or debas-
es and makes disreputable, from which
flows happiness or wretchedness. What
ever the mind feeds on that it assimilates.

and told them they must not come in, tina
he didn't want them in there. At this they
jumped on him and commenced cuttinl
