ITS ENDOWMENT
Increased by 100000 at Bap-
fist Convention.

with the return or l)f. IL. L.
Mullins, president of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, to
Louisville from the Southern Bap-
fist Convention at Hot Springs, it
was learned that the endowment
fund of the seminary had been in
creased from 100000 to $780,
600. The endowment fund was
made 100000 several years ago,
and last year it was increased to
81 900, 900, an increase of $500, 900.
1t was the belief of the board of
trustees of the institution that this
<amount should be increased an
other 100000 in order to carry
on the work of the seminary,
which will include the enlargement
of the school, the adding of other
departments, the securing of sew
eral thousand more books for the
library and the building of a
chapel to be used on special occa-
sions when meetings of Baptists
of the South are held in Louis
vile. The proposed chapel will
be erected at Fifth street and
and Broaday, on the site adjoining
Norton Hall, and which was pur-
chased by the board of trustees of
the seminary several years ago.
CONVENTION VOTES UNANIMOUSLY.
The decision to ask for the adj
ditional endowment of 5000, 900 to
bring the amount to be raised by
the Southern Baptist Association
up to 100000 was reached at
meeting of the board of trustees
of the institution held Thurs
day morning at Hot Springs, just
before the first session of the con-
vention. When the matter was
>paced before the convention as a
whole it carried by practically a
unanimous vote. 1t was decided
that Kentucky should raise $751;
600 of the amount and Georgia a
like sum, and the remainder was
divided between thirteen other
States which are members of the
association.
When the matter was brought
before the convention as whole
just before the final adjournment
speeches in favor of the extra en-
dowment were made by DR.. Null
Inns and six others, all of whom
are residents of the South and who
are anxious to see the seminary
made the greatest institution of
its kind in the world in fact as we'll
as in name. While it is not the
purpose of DR.. Mullins to raise
the entire amount by May, 1909,
when the. next annual Southern
Baptist Convention will be held in
Louisville, it is his belief that a
large portion of the additional en-
dowment will have been raised by
that time, and that favorable re-
port can be made by the board of
trustees to the convention.
During the convention in Louis
vile next gear the seminary will
celebrate it's fiftieth anniversary
and golden jubilee, and already
plans have been started by DR..
Mullins and other members of the
faculty to have gathering of the
alumni. A banquet will be given
to the graduates of the seminary,
numbering between 1900 and
5000, or to as many of them as
can arrange to be present at that
time.

At Pittsburg, May 20, the Car

nounced thirty more awards,
money and medals, for bravery in

ton.

their home. The younger child
was secured in a baby's chair,
with the other shut in the kitchen

market. The house caught fire
and Paul, Is years of age, broke
into the kitchen and carried out
the two children, badly burned.
He suffered some burns himself.
The hero commission reports that
Paul is anxious to take a course in
business school and that he shall
have $4,000 with which to do this
because of his bravery in life saw

of Leon, KY, is given a bronze

Il. Clemens, a tot of 2 years, at
Perry Station, Carter county, KY,
September 30, 1906. Clevenger
