This is the plan OF the National Corn
Exposition management, to have a
great school for prize winners in the
county contests OF the boys corn clubs

DIRT BROKEN ON
Y. N. c. A. BUILDING
Impressive Ceremonies at A. & NJ.
College Upon the Inauguration of
This Important Work.
n

There was a large crowd~St the ex-
ercises incident to the breaking Of
ground for the proposed Y. NJ. c. A.
building at A. & NJ. College this after
noon, and under fine conditions and
amid a spirit of enthusiasm that per-
vades the entire corps of cadets and
the members of the official family Of
the college and the members of the
alumni association, the work was COM
menced.
This Y NJ. c. A. building is to be
eretced by voluntary contributions. AL
ready some funds have been contrib
uted by many individuals and the
money thus raised is being used to
start the work. The plan is to start
the foundations now and continue the
work as long as funds are available.
Then to stop until more contributions
come in, and again proceed. 1t is not
known just how long it will be before
the building is completed under this
plan, but the idea is that as work
progresses there will be more incen-
tive to friends of the institution to
give. 1t is expected that the work will
proceed far enough by commencement
to have the laying of the cornerstone
at that time. The members Of the
sophomore class of the college are to
contribute the cornerstone.
The exercises this afternoon com
menced with dress parade by the cadet
corps. Then all assembled at the
building site and there was an open
ing prayer by Rev. Isaac Alexander,
chaplain of the college. Col. r. T.
Miner made an address outlining the
work of the Y. NJ. C. A. and especially
its work at the college. He was fol-
lowed by Col. E. B. Cushing of Hous-
ton, who spoke on "a. & VI. Team
Work" L. A. Coulter, state secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. c. A., spoke on "The
Value of Y. NJ. c. A. Building" and
was followed by F. d. Steger on
Efficient Service" Then the formal
breaking of dirt took place, many
officers of the college, members of the
alumni association and the presidents
of the various classes OF the college
each throwing a shovel full OF dirt.
The construction of this building is
under the direction of a committee,
of which E. B. Cushing of Houston is
chairman, representing the alumni as
sociation. The alumni members are
head and front of the movement and
are working to complete the funds
necessary for the construction.
One of the visitors to the college at
the time of this exercise was Col,
Henry Exall of Dallas, president OF
the Texas Industrial Congress.

GREAT TABERNACLE
REVIVAL BEGUN
Rev. Ham Spoke to Large Crowds at
the Three Services Held
Yesterday.

The revival conducted by Evangelist
Ham of Kentucky, under the auspices
of the First Baptist church, was begun
at the II o'clock service yesterday.
A large tent has been erected for
the meeting on the public plaza near
the H. & T. c. passenger station. It
has capacity for more than thou
sand people, is we'll seated, well light
ed, and is an ideal place for revival,
the only drawbacks being the noise
from trains and the interurban cars.
Rev. Ham conducts the music him.
self and has a remarkably sweet voice.
He is assisted by large choir made
up of the best voices from the differ
ent church choirs of the city, and Mrs.
Ham presides at the piano. The music
is strong feature of the meeting.
The evangelist spoke three times
yesterday-at the morning and even
ing services and to a mems meeting
in the afternoon. Large congregations
were present at each service, and es-
pecially at night, when the great tab
ernacle was filed almost to its utmost
capacity.
Rev. Ham is a plain speaker, yet
forceful, and holds the earnest atten-
tion of his hearers. He is in dead
earnest himself, and his earnestness is
impaired to those who hear him. His
talk at the morning service and the
sermon at night were directed chiefly
to the church members, telling them
plainly of their duty in the premises
and what was absolutely necessary be-
fore there could be great revival in
Bryan. He gave them to understand
that they had to get right them
selves first.
A good-sized congregation was pres
ent at the 10 O'Clock service this
morning and the meeting is starting
of under most favorable auspices.
Services daily at 10 a. m. and 1880
p. m.
