THE MARCH OF oHR1srIAN1rY.

In the onward march OF Christianity
1t has often been necessary to defend it's
doctrines as we'll as its adherents with
the strong arm OF the military power,
which alone was able to Withstand the
aggressive onslaughts OF its foes.
Mohammedanism was the outgrowth Of
practices that had corrupted to great
extent the primitive church and for
centuries 1t offered an effective bar to
its progress. True Christianity, how
ever, continued to flourish, until to-day
the followers Of the false prophet have
been practically driven from Europe,

RoANoKE's EDUCATIONAL ADvAN-
TAGES

Besides It's advantages as an indus
trial and commercial center, Roanoke
possesses special facilities for educa-
tional advancement, which, when the
age Of the city is considered, is another
evidence Of its remarkable growth and
progress. Hardly decade ago the
public school system here WAS in en-
bryo, with only few private schools
for the instruction of the children. Now
the public schools Of this city will COM,
pare favorsbly with those OF any in the
State, both as TO the course Of ipstruc-
tion and the size and attractiveness of
the buildings. At the high school
especially all the facilities for q good
education are afforded. along with
thorough preparation for collegiate
course.
Allegheny Institute, which WAS then
In its infancy, has grown and thrived
until now in its new and commodious
building, and with lis superior advant.
ages for instruction, it is credit to it's
conductors and the pride OF the people.
Virginia College for Young Ladies,
Enough not exactly within the city
limits, ia to all intents and purposes
Roanoke institution, and one Of which
it's people are especially proud.
Although just entering upon the third
year of its existence, under the Hne
management Of DR.. W. A. Harris and
his efficient co.laborers, It already oc-
cupies place in the front rank OF the
educational establishment of the
country, and we'll deserves the liberal
patronage 1t receives.
The National Business College of
Roanoke Ia also a growing and pros.
porous institution, and under the excel
lent management Of President Eckerle
and his associates offers superior ad-
vaDtages in this line of instruction.
Mrs. Gilmers private school also
deserves special mention for the thor.
oughness of its course and the care and
fidelity OF Its management.
st. Andrews parochial school also
affords excellent facilities for instruc-
ton and is literally patronized. Besides
these 1t must not be forgotten that Hol-
Inns Institute Is only few miles dis
tant and that Roanoke College at Salem
is also within easy reach of the city. 1t
Will thus BIO seen that along with Its
great advantages in many other respects.
Roanoke affords facilities for the &C
quirement OF education in general and
special lines second to no city of Its size
in the country.
