A Letter From the Peabody Normol
School.


NASHVILLE, TENN. Jan 20. '96.
Dear Beacon;
Thinking that you and some of your
renders might be interested in snor'
description of the Peabody Norma
College, | shall attempt to tell 20,
some of III, most important things
concerning It.
There nre over five hundred sinddDti
IN the college proper, and in the Mod
81 sclinnl' and "Montgomcry BET
School. the preparatory departments
| of the Normal College, there are oyci
four hundred students, which makes
u total Of about n thousand students In
actual attendance. Every state in the
South aud ,omc of the Central states
are represented in the Normal College
Mississippi, until few years ago. had
IA very small delegation, but nav she
is one of the leading states. Her d,l
cgation numbers thirty this year.
Daring The Christmas holidays, stare
patriotism runs TO q considerable
height, and there are state receptions
nearly every night. These receptions
arc beneficial, think, MS they draw
the students from each state together
and thus all the students become thor
oughly acquainted.
Next TO, or perhaps ahead of state
pride come social spirit, There are
three literary societies for young men
and three for young ladies', and u new
student is made to believe that each Of
the societies is The society. The So
ciety spirit is not so high in the young
Indies societies as in the young gen
tlamen's.
There is less class distinction here
than any college in the United States.
A beardless freshman often may be
seen seeking company with an ancient
eruJite senior l suppose this congo
NAL feeling is because nearly all Of the
students have been or are going TO be
teachers and there is always an affinity
between members of tho same profess
sion.
A great many of the students arc
sclf-mmdc. They have by earnest eli

Der of s,udents in the college proper.
there are not oyer fifty who are not
members OF some church. There is a

mine the Church, but he produced
proof of the fulfillment of the opoca-
lypse. And the profits of his history
are being used for the spread of the
Gospel. The first meeting for the ref
ormation of the Auxiliary Bible So
ciety of Edinburgh was held in the
room in which Hume died. Joseph was
sold into bondage, but it was the means
of his exaltation to be Prime Minis
ter of Egypt. Paul was cast into the
Philippian Jail, but it led to the found
| ing of the first Christian Church in
Europe. He was carried to Rome as a
prisoner, but it enabled him to preach
the Gospel in the worlds metropolis.
The persecution of the Puritans in Eu-
rope led to the colonization of the New
World. Bunyon was cast into Bed

ed. 1t may be delayed by the mac
tivity of His people, or accelerated by
their conservation, but it cannot be
thwarted. The waters of a stream may
be damned up, but the accommodating
mass will sweep away the dam. Public
sentiment may be INSTRUCTED for a |

people will, in the end, sweep away |

The bison and the Indian disputed |
the right of the iron horse to ascend
the slopes of the Rockies, but it went
through from "the Father of Waters

the puny arm of man attempt to stay
the waves of the ocean or to hold back
the fires of volcano, or stop the de-
scending avalanche, as to head off the
will of God, or the omnipotence of
public sentiment.
Results can be left with God. He
will take care of His own. His cause
is safe. Truth will triumph. Right
and peace will win. The
Church is secure. The gates of hell
will not prevail against it.

JAPANESE TEA.

Japanese ladies, of course, make tea
to perfection; somehow the cup that
cheers but does not inebriate seems to
be always associated with the dainty
little women who fit about like so many
gorgeous humming birds in beautiful
Japan, seeming determined not to be
outdone by the glorious scenery in the
midst of which they live and die.
The approved Japanese style of tea
making is as follows: From a kettle
of boiling water they pour into an
earthern or china teapot enough to heat
the pot thoroughly; then they empty
out the water and put in the tea, let
it stand five minutes and serve. The
teapot must not touch the stove.
A little tea coy of Japanese is clap
ped over the teapot the moment the
water is poured on, and delicious cup
of tea is thus secured without having
extracted the injurious ingredient
