E. M. c. Seminary, Bucksport.

The Eastern Maine Conference Seminary
announces the conditional receipt of d gift
of $4,000. This generous sum of money is
to be given the Seminary provided the
friends of the School shall raise an addi-
tional $4,000 The donor desires to remain
unknown for the present. Indications point
to a successful issue to the effort now to be
made to secure the $1,000 This amount
will raise the endowment of the Seminary
to very nearly $4,000, which will place the
institution upon an efficient basis. This
Seminary has had history of which its
friends may well be proud. Its past work
merits still greater success No school
in the State possesses more splendid loca-
ton than does the Seminary at Bucksport.
This conditional offer marks the growing
confidence of the people in the schools fu-
ture. The friends of the Seminary believe
that men and women interested in the edu-
cational work of the Church and State will
recognize this gift as a summons to them to
give this institution the desired amount of
money The prospects for the Seminary
were never better than they are now A
large entering class is expected.
