President Taylor said he favored the
roposed plan for number of reasons
l.. 1t commits the denomination to a
GREAT undertaking and thereby it appeals
/ 10 denominational pride
q Though it is difficult. it is feasible.
, Once when the denomination was young
! il raised $4,000 in one day, and in 1853
it raised $4,000 for one institution
8. 1t will give us an opportunity to
awaken and arouse our people with the
story of the wonderful things God has
Gone for us as denomination. We take
! too much for granted with our young peo-
pie They should be instructed in our
/ history as a church and the work that
it is doing.
| A. The plan is business-iike 1t calls
FOR cash, not notes; it suggests, not COM
r,aads.
5. 1t is equitable. dividing out the bur
Gen and making the wisest possible dis
/ tribution of the money raised.
g. 1t is an educational necessity, for
we are in the midst Of the creates edu-
cational movement the world has ever
brown.
T. There is hopesu'uess in it--the pow
CT to kindle enthusiasm. l believe that
even tonight it is possible for us to
awaken here such fire as will sweep
over the State.

BAPTIST UNIVERSITY.

The report was adopted without 0is-
senting vote.
Rev. w G. Tyree of Durham. then
read the report of the trustees of the
Baptist Female University, setting forth
how the institution had opened it's doors
with the largest attendance ever known
for new school in North Carolina, how
the number had grown until new build
ings had to be bought and finally young
women had to be turned away.
1.-THE great patronage shows the need
for this institution and the interest of
the people in it, l believe some heroic
effort should now be made to remove the
heavy debt on it,
On this report President Vann spoke
for nearly two hours, but nobody grew
tired. 1t was a great speech, strong and
logical; now and then there were flashes
of wit that convulsed the audience with
laughter and occasionally there were
passages of true eloGuence, that moved
and swayed those who listened as only
the true orator can sway them.
He told of the birth of the school, it's
early struggles and its work since it en-
tered upon its career and then he APP
pealed for that help which is it's due
and which it must have if it would fill
worthily the field that is before it.
I'VE have a good location, excellent
buildings, fine faculty, faithful board
of trustees and a splendid patronage.
Then we have fine lot of girls and a
lot of fine girls.
Il said we had a fine faculty-Im not
a member of the faculty yet, but l hope
to be sometime. We are just going along
doing the best we can. I'm often re-
minded of the rhyme:
The lightning bug is brilliant,
But he hasn't any mind;
He blunders through existence
With his headlight on behind
Z. but we are going to try to put our
headlight on the front soon and our green
lights on behind to keep other people
from running over US
Mr.. Vann said he had in the institu-
tion some ninety girls who are working
their way through school, in one way
