To those who are directing aud to some
degree responsible for the success Of any
Christian enterprise, IL isa source of anx-
ious solicitude, and indeed sometimes of
modification and pain, TO have to urge
with persistence Christians whose inter-
ests and duties are identical with their
own TO recognize and discharge their OBJ
legations rs parties 10 a pledge. II has Of
ten been mentioned rs source of con-
graduation and gratitude that our mis-
sionary women generally have only to
know the requirements of our work TO
prompt them to cheerfully and literally
assist in meeting them, especially when
the needs are obvious and immediate, as
they are in our Hazel Green Dormitory.
Before the beginning of the September
term we must provide comfortable and
cheap boarding accommodations for the
pupils who come In from the surround
ing counties to attend our @. w. b. NJ.
school. Under the painstaking and sue
cessful management Of Prof. w. III. Cord
and wife, the institution is growing into
the proportions (about 100 pupils) and
efficiency which we have desired, and
certainly we can not afford to have its
progress hampered by lack Of energy on
our part. The help Of any Christian or
philan thropist, who has IL in his or her
heart TO contribute TO the immediate
home work of permanently improving
the condition Of our own mountain peo-
pie, would be gratefully received and
applied in enlarging the facilities Of the
Hazel Green school.
