for what shall be done. There is no propriety in
sending missionaries to Cuba and China and
neglecting the heather at our doors.
Let me say that after all we have done, after our
Northern brethren have done, the practical
point remains each pastor, each church must do
its duty to the negroes in their midst. We ought
to welcome them to our churches. Our Christian
women, God bless them, they are doing noble
work. Let them go and teach in their Sunday
schools. Let the white brethren who have
nothing to do on Sunday teach in the negro
Sunday-school. The immortal man whose
name was not born to die, Stone
wall jackson, founded coiored
Sunday school at Lexington, Va.
After the bloody battle at Ok Hill, the second
day of Manassas when all were waiting for news
OF the battle, y letter came from Gen. Jackson.
The crowd at the postofhce gathered to hear the
news. The letter said:

THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
The special hour for considering the claims OF
the Southern Baptist Theological seminary
having arrived, DR.. j. A. Broadus was
given the floor. He presented its treasurer
Rev. DIR. Franklin Howard Kerfoot of Ken
lucky, who spoke, saying; At the last meeting
of the Southern Baptist convention, in Mem
phis, the treasurer made statement that, be-
rides the property, building, etc, they had
nearly $500, 900 endowment invested in interest
bearing securities. We asked then that the en-
dowment be completed; that the main building
be erected on the Broadway front. The income
il not sufficient to meet the expenses OF the
seminary. Two gentlemen in New York
give 5000 each year. This prevents the
seminary getting in debt for current expenses.
We also stated at Memphis that money was
needed for all the seminary work, Brother
Joshua lowering started the fund with 5000!
When we returned to Louisville Mr.. Geo. W.
Norton, who had given SeO,J0O, stated that he
and his sister-in-law would give $50, 900 for the
main building If the denomination would raise
Si00. O0e endowment. Mr.. Norton died and left
In his will $1,000 for this 500 900 fund. Mr.. Wig
gin Of New Jersey gave $500. We have now
about ss5, 600 of this needed additional endow-
ment gathered since our last meeting.
T. lowering g. Co. have agreed to give 5000
more II the remaining amount IS raised. An
other family has agreed to give S!0,OOO, we
have secured $50, 0O0. Also Brother j. NJ. Avery
Of Clinton, Mo-. has pledged $1,000, so we count
on over $50, 900 OF the 500, 600 raised Now,
brethren the $50. coo for building is on hand in
Louisville, waiting our demand any day we have
the 500 900 additional endowment. The gap be-
tween us to-day and the work Of the seminary's

The Beauty Of Age.

Some of the homeliest of girls
are the handsomest of women. This
is not SO improbable when we con
slider what makes up the charm Of
advanced age. 1t certainly does
not depend on the mellow softness
of May, but the rich ripeness OF
October. 1t is precisely the differ.
ence between an apple blossom and
an apple. But for all of that, old
age must be physically wholesome
to be beautiful. 1t must not have
about it any atmosphere of decay.
[ know some old folk who would
be truly very fine to look at but for
a lack of personal care. Now a boy
or girl is grand to the eye also
only when when we'll dressed and
brushed and bathed. This they
know, and are sure, if they seek to
please, or take much care of their
persons. But the very least neg
lect of themselves makes old people
dowdyish and repulsive. There
must be constant compensation for
the waste of the years. What ma
ture takes away in one direction,
she will make up in another, if fol-
lowed. Now, say what you will,
false teeth and false hair are not in
themselves repulsive, any more
than a silk dress or a wooden cloak
is repulsive. We do not grow hair
and teeth as the animals do, and
must make up for it in the way of
clothing. Our hair on the head is
liable to be temporary, and our teeth
are growing less in number, and
not only less formidable, but less
enduring. We are no less lovely
for hairless bodies, and if our heads
get bald it is not at all a hopeless
case. | know some women who are
truly beautiful, but they have not
natural hair on their heads, nor are
their teeth of their own growing.
But little neglect, a frowsy wig, a
badly dressed old woman, or old
man, lose all attractiveness and re-
pei US. You see, my description
leaves the door open for any one to
even grow handsome as they grow
old. Here is a young friend Of mine
with prognathous teeth, inherited
from somewhere afar back. They
are stout and clean, but they are
too aggressive. He is excessively
sensitive about them, for if they
were out the fellow would be good
deal more than pleasant looking. l
