HAMPTON LETTER.
(by Homo Sum)

Prof d. Webster Davis delivered a
scholarly and eloquent address before
the Young Mems Christian Association
of Hampton on last Sunday on the
subject of Faith" The lecture was
divided under the following subheads :
Faith in ourselves.
Faith in oCT Race.
Faith in our Women.
Faith in God.
Among the many good things the
Professor said no words were truer an.l
mean more TO US as race than the
fact that we must have faith in kour
women, as no race can rise higher than
its women. The address was enjoyed
by all present and we hope it will prove
q stimulus to young men, as l am sure
that all who we're fortunate enough TO
hear it feel greatly benefited.
The young men of Hampton need to
bestir themselves to make their Young

Oh, light all ethereal
From the re aims of heaven
Hast thou winged thy course
Bringing life and giaaness
From the everlasting source
OF every blessing we enjoy,
o. ever can enjoy.
We thy blessings welcome
With delight without alloy.
Oh, blessed be thy coming,
For blest thy mission is,
AS the honey guide TO show US
The treasures OF the bees.
But riches for superior doth
Thy rays bring to our view,
For by it we can read who died
For gentle and for jew,
On, holy Sabbath sunlight!
Forever last thy glow,
The heather from their darkness
To the path of heaven show;
Shine on Til with thy glitter
We hail millenlum's morn,
And Christ iih his disciples shall
This earth redeemed adOrn,
With n government celestial,
And subjects pure and mild.
When the lamb and lions whel

In presence of q child:
Then. Oh, sun thy light withhold,
Wrap up and lay away.
For CHRIST the Sun of Righteousness
Shall light that glorious day.
