 This noble institution of learning is now, yoa might say, in it's infancy. Yet in its short career it has accom- plished a noble work. It has met with success on every hand, Hen dirk College is gliding out smoothly into the great arena of time as a ves- sel on common tide propelled by the gales according to it's manage ment. and all moves forward by one steady current, strong enough to bear onward whatever does not sink before It. It looks back upon the yerdant shore from which it set sail, only to say: Farewell, 1 have left you forever. 1 must not stand still, but move onward, not simply with time and tide, but the great and grand progress of Christian ciyiiza- tion, and far more to promote the same." 1 look into the dim future. anticipating the greatest success of Hendrix College. Bishop Fitzgerald said: "This is destined to be great college. l believe" said he, "the very spot of ground on which the college is being built, was or dained to have college on it."
 Why do I anticipate such great success for this College? Because, CD it is having the very best success at presents CD it has such a lovely situation and is only seven miles from the geographical center of the State, and fifteen miles from the point where the three patronizing conferences corner, thus being con venient to all parts of the State; (D the good people of Arkansas are taking greater interest in the cduca- tion of their sons; (4) Hendrix Col lege has one of the largest libraries, and the largest Y. NJ. C.. A. in the State; (5) and, to crown it all, has a consecrated Christian faculty.
 clearly conceive that the whole institution is guided by divine hand. do not believe that there is in the South a college that has bet ter Christian influence in it. Would that could put into the minds and hearts of the people of this State the saving influence that is being exert ed in Hendrix College. At this point 1 cannot refrain from using some of the words spoken in |, NJ. C. A. talk made by the Professor of the preparatory department, for which trust he will pardon me. He sad; "I never expect to introduce a bill to Congress; 1 never expect to write textbook, but l expect to give my life to the cause of Christ. My body is on the altar. am wholly consecrated to God. l pray daily for the conversion of every un- converted student in my depart ment.
 Young men are being educated here, in the true sense of the word and sent into the world to fill the re- sponsible positions of church and State. Not only will this country be blessed by their work and inhu- ence, but also the foreign field. About one dozen young men have publicly expressed their desire to cross the wide waters and go into the dark lands of heathendom, to spent their lives in the service oi God, in trying to enlighten the be ! Jr nighted souls.
 The value of such an institution as this can never be estimated by such things as gold or silver, or even by mortal man, The good influence al- ready exerted by this College will re- verberate throughout coming ages. The great good it will accomplish can never be known this side of eternity, but will stand out grandly there. BAsCoM NANCE.
