had small part in the establishment
of Mississippi Woman's College, and,
an exalted privilege to have been re-
quested to speak a word at its formal
opening.
The time was propitious for starting
such institution. There was no de-
mand for a sectarian school devoted
to general education, but there was
and is an ever increasing demand
for the denominational college, such
as this one, owned and directed by
the State Baptist convention.
Man is a triune being, with body,
mind, soul, and proper education in

the most important of the three. The
UNCONVENTIONAL college is the best, il

power of woman's refining and re-

of the first Importance that she be

THE oVERWORkED MAN.

"He died of overwork," they said.
And really thought the words were
true;
For he had toiled with hand and head
Much more, perhaps, than most
men do
But overwork was not the cause;
For all his toll he'd still be here
If he had needed natures laws
So simple sane and wise and clear.
He overate, he overdrank,
Which undermined his native vim;
He overdrew upon the bank
? OF health the Lord had given him.
All day in office he sat;
He scarcely ever walked bit,
And SO grew fabby, soft and fat
But never blamed himself for it,
And thus when years had taken toll
Of strength he'd done his best tc
drain,
The body yielded up the soul
And people talked of business
strain"
Each year sees thousands pass away
Because the rules of health they
shirk;
And then we wipe our eyes and say
"Ah, me, they died of overwork!
