OU R wdl-known Baptist brother. Gov. Joseph E . Brown, of G e o r ; ^ has paid me, in cash

a t d to bonds worth over par, $50,000 for the en-dowment of a professorahip in the Soathern Bu>tist Theological S ^ i n a r y .

The conditions connected with it are such as the

Board will certainly accept By them the interest alone to to be used and ttie ftrindpal kept totact The fond is not to be a i>art ^ but in addition to the five hundred thousand dollars endowment we are now raiang.

In the event that the Seminary shall become extinct, the fund shall revert to hto heirs. The gift to made, however, with the tiiat tlxe doiominatien wiU sustain tlie Seminaiy Ity annual coatrilmtians, and by a laiM co^pte-tlon of the endowment I f thiQ ahall not be done. Gov. Brown has the peiBoaalijgfat to demand the return of the land to h im within twelve moet l* , Thes t e t ^ en t of these ilacts wiU show with how much hope, yetwith how much fear and ttan-l ^ ng , I now contemplate our proqtects.

1 am encouraged to make four requests: upon the manner in which they are met and how much depends.

1. Are there not otliers who wil l Oov. Brawn'a example, and endow profiBeaomhl^T We need at least the encouragement of three others—we ought to have four. Are there not those who cannot do tbto who wil l give laiger sums toward such an endowm«t t? Say five ten thousand, or even tbeendowmentoof asd iod , which the Board has fixed at $30,000. A i l such donations are to be sacredly kept totact as to prto-dpa l , the income alone trom tliem l>eing used.

2. As to contributing to the above result, wil l not all of those who have given bubscripticms or Ixmdsj pay them, or aa much as they can of them atonce. I ask this of those whose obligations are past due, as a matter of Justice to us and tofnl-fiUment of their promises, wlienever it to to their power to pay. But, I even a ^ ofot i ien to an-tidpate when they can. I am anxious at once to collect an amount which, when fiinded, will give us an income suffldent to make unnecesaaiy forther appeals for annual support

3. WIU not our churches to general fed en-couraged now to make anlmmedtote odlection to our annual expenses the past year. Thecol-lections thus tar made to answer to an m y i^peato, have been by a w y few churches. W i l l not all the otbets now act, as thqr see how mnch depends upon our annual support The contribntums of the past year have been hardy enough to pay our current expenses, leaving nothing far the profess ore.

It is no man's daty' to deny himsel'every amoaement, every laxnry, every comfort, that he may get rich.

want of a little courage.

It will not do to be perpetually calculating risks and adjusting nice chances; it did very well before tiie fiood, when a man could consult his friends nptm an intended publication for a han> dred and fifty years, and live to see iti success for six or seven centories afterward, bnt at present a man waits aad doubt% and consaita his brother^ and his ancles, aad particular friends, till one day he finds that he is sixty five years of age, that be hsa lost so mach time in consul ing first cousins and particular friends that he has no time to follow their advice. There ia ao Uttietime for over^sqaeamiahness at pres-e t that the opportunity slips sway. The very period of life at which men chooee to venture, if ever, is so confined that it is no bad lule to preach up the neces-sity in such instances, of a litUe violence done to the feelings, and efforts made in defiance of strict and sober calculation.—(Sidney Smith.

Thta is specially true in your CMe* and with that good man of Ui, yoa can aaWy aay " when a few years are come, tbeo IshaUgotheway.whencelshali not return "
