THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.
By P. T. Magan
At the Missouri camp-meeting God moved upon hearts to help our schools out of their present distressed financial condition. One brother, who was attending the meeting from the neighboring State of Kansas, surrendered a five-hundred-dollar note, which he held against Union College. We felt thankful for this kind gift. Over three hundred dollars was subscribed for the material fund. The exact number of copies of “Parables of Jesus, or Christ’s Object Lessons,” subscribed for, I did not learn before leaving the grounds. It was not as large, however, as we had hoped for. Nevertheless, this whole matter is in the hand of the Mighty One, who alone can bring about the payment of these debts. We were deeply thankful to see some of the youth, who in days past have been taught in our schools, make liberal contributions to free these institutions from debt.
