BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE.

By C. W. S.

This name has now come to have a double significance, relating first to our school, and secondly to the College paper so long looked for. The first number is about ready for the press and will be issued in a day or two. It is designed to circulate this sheet among those who are interested in our school, and this class should include every family of Seventh-day Adventists in the United States. The price of the paper for a year is ten cents, a sum less than the actual cost; but, should our people subscribe liberally, and the paper have the desired effect, the expense will ultimately work its way back.

We invite our brethren everywhere to interest themselves in behalf of our noble school. We want five thousand subscribers for the College paper. It is a sheet devoted to the interest of the College, and is of the same size as the INSTRUCTOR. On its first page will be found a large cut of the College and the grounds in front. Interesting articles from Eld. White, Prof. S. Brownsberger, Prof. G. H. Bell, and others, fill its pages, giving interesting information concerning the resources and standing of the school, the facilities for good board at low rates, directions to students preparing to come to school, and treating upon modes of teaching and general topics.

Brethren, could the history of this institution, from its rise until now, be pictured before your mind, you could not fail to see the hand of God in it. He has opened the way, and led out; shall we follow? He has favored us till we now have a school where every student is under the watchful eye of interested persons who will spare no pains to shield them from the evil of bad associations which so often prove fatal to their improvement and morals. Through His providence, we have teachers who are godly men and well qualified to fill the teacher’s desk.

Our school presents the best of opportunities for studying the languages. It is provided with able teachers of Greek and Latin, a teacher of the Hebrew, who reads it (his native tongue) as readily as you read English, and native teachers of the Danish, Swedish, and French tongues. At our Christmas-eve meeting, the thirteenth chapter of first Corinthians was read in ten different languages by ten different young men.

May the Lord bless our school; and to this end may he bless our College paper, THE BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE. Now do you wish to aid in this matter? Send in just as many names as you can get at ten cents each. We want 5,000 subscribers among our own people or any that are interested. C. W. S.
