AMHERST, MASS, June 24.-President Gates
Of Amherst College in his inaugural address to-
day said: 1.-The pressing want of our time is
manly men, of liberal culture and sound head
and heart, in every walk OF life. The influence
of such men ameliorates all the relations of
life and lends to it richness and tone.
Christian manhood is greater thing than
any profession. We do not need greater
number of doctors or lawyers or merchants.
We do need greater number of literally edu-
Gated men, who value Christian education
above dollars and cents. What else can dispel
the awful cloud Of ignorance and vice that
blackens our census map of the south and
storms at all our ports of immigration?
IF the dangers which threaten us from these
sources are to be averted We must look not to
home missionaries alone, not to clergymen
only, not to the efforts Of politicians or states
men, but to the increase of the number and the
influence of those literally educated Christian
mon whose standard of judgment and action,
in every vocation. shall raise the tone of pub
lie opinion and purify the public morals
