Seminary in the North-West, as has been done in every-other grand division of the Church, .seems most; manifest from many oonsideratMe, amongst AY4ieh,Plo4o following There are here , ten, Synods not embraced in the field of any otbeeSconinary t covering tbe'territory O lt and ; enelhiq'Stites of vigorous, growth, and x.tending - from, the; Scioto river to the Missouri, and , from .Ev ansville to St. , Pauli , These ;Synods contain; forty , fonr Presbyteries, eight hundred and fifteen chirobes, fiie hundlecT:an4Afettyicine ministers, tbon'santi,..egmmonleants, and ninety-font oendidateelori the, Ministry,il The relative , strength , of , the eteveralfSemvil nary fields, as the boundaries of each have' been settled by Synodical action, or common` consent, is shown by the annexed tabular statement from Mintfett of Asiembly for 1858. This statement shows; First—That no Seminary: field 'equals As NortkWeitern in image ! of pandiditOfi;:o*. opt Ole Prineeton that the, tiorthMestern has fifty-four per oent.,,more candidates than are on. the field of Danvillei and fifty-four per cent. more than the Columbia and the Union combined.

North-Western. field -la 'Doh materially-sur-• passed, 'esitept by the Princeton; While it' has nearly twice as many,as either the Dan., vide, the Ooltunbia; or.the;Union, including. in these their ooloredgmembers.. "kfvd—That •we hive about nine• per cent. more churches than any other ,Senti l , nary field; fifty .per cent. more than either' the Allegheny or the Danville, and twenty per cent. more than both the Columbia and the Union. Of course the North-Western ehurobee have far lessivelith, though gen. orallyigiving more prOliilee of growth thatf those:m the other dietrinte,;. Fourth That , as,to milliliters, this field id s ereeeded only by the Princeton, while we have sizty-two per cent., more than the field of either AlleghiniY, or Denville, an d•twenty.' five per cent. more than Om of Union and : , Columbhicombined. This comparative; iew demonstrates that the:North-West is lagging far behind other sections, in the duty of ed , ucatibg a ministry for %he Church That the time "tbii,fficiant:*a united effort •has come, is shown also by the, fact that other Seminaries are full. , No one could desire more students at one school then are at Princeton, (one' hundred' and-eighty one ;) and before our Seminary can he fairly under, way, Allegheny, having , now one hundrediand. twenty-five, will be sufficiently crowded. 'Dr. Archibald Alexanderthiinght one hundred students enough for one Sew , ' boy. Dr. R. J. Breekinridge has main= tained that, no more „than sixty should be„ collected a 1 one Institution. • The revival` blessing 'brlBsB, also calls the Church / with adoring' gratitude and selfsaerifleing' zeal, ,to .enter- ripo'n'ilis 'work. Think for a .moment;.' of her tons that h ave t been gathered into the fold, and how many of tbem,inay set their Ana. toward the '6l iri*: try, and it may be, are even now waiting 'to enter this Seminary. Our Board of Educa tion report an increase , of fifty:per cent. over last year, in the number ,ef, new candidates under their care. Shaft the litorthArestern Chun*. longer remain, iaactive,,,reaponding not to these distinct calls' upon ,her, in this behalf? Shall her own ,young men, - thus made willing to devote them jives to the ministry, if the. Church Will afford fecilitio for their education, find no place of inatrue tion within reasonable distance of home and' friends? If there was room at Princeton': and Allegheny, the 'distance from Illinois' or Indiana is a hinditiance. Businessmen may speak lightly of a trip to the East. But to' students of little mekli,l;‘ and perhaps with aged parents, or it may be, a Widowed mother, to care for, the journey, and eight months' absence each year'at that distance, is a great discouragement. The influence of this Seminary in our midst' would be good, also, as•an,incentive, directing; the-minds of , young men h) this subject.-< bletypillpits . 1; .; . ' k ~,,,, ~ I !". ef ' . O-I.
