A NOBLE LIFE CLOSED.

ENOUGH PLEDGES ON HAND.

Yesterday President r. T. Vann stated
that he had received in good pledges
$4,000. the amount needed to pay off the
debt due by the Baptist Female UNI
yersity DR.. Vann has been quietly at
work for some weeks to raise the neces-
sary amount and is naturally greatly
gratifed that the long and hard hill has
been climbed When the last dollar Is
paid in. a thanksgiving celebration is to
be held.
The success of the Baptist Female Uni
yersity has been wonderful From the
day it opened its doors its patronage has
been equal to the accommodations. and
last year Dr.. Vann had to notify 2rospec-
tive patrons that no more students could
be admitted. No very large gifts have
enabled the trustees of this institution to
win immediate success. The real reason
that this university did not have a wait
ing period is that it had been put upon
the heart of the denomination to build
il, and contributions toward the fund had
been made, in most churches. from the
smallest sums to an hundred dollars n
all sections of the State. 1t is natural for
one to be interested in any enterprise II
which he has invested money. More IN
dividual contributions have been made 20
the construction OF the Baptist Female
University than to any other educational
institution in the State. and that very
fact is responsible for the general interest
in its success and in its great prosperity.
1t is easier for the authorities to erect the
necessary buildings if the money comes in
large sums from rich men. but it gives a
strength and power when many muckles''
come from many sources. The masses do
not give unless they are genuinely inter-
ested. The fact that they gave their
mites to buildings shows deep interest,
and it guarantees that they will send
their children and advise others to pat-
ronize the school. Cooperative effort
built the Baptist Female University and
it is the active cooperation of the church
that has crowded its halls with ambitious
young women. OF course its president and
trustees have had to practise economy
and to go slow, but they have laid the
foundations all the deeper in the hearts of
the denomination.

There is another element in South
ern life that these men knew admira-
bly, how to use-the country clergy.
The Methodist preachers are the pre-
servers of every old idea. Timid to
the point of cowardice, they can be
driven to any cruel action if they are
made to think that the pillars of
society are about to be pulled down.
The above was written from Durham to
the Boston Transcript by an adherent or
paid servant Of Kilgo and Bassett.

have no influence on them. They are
