Without entering upon the personal as
pect-of_ this ,subjeo, T, may ,be permitted to
notice one gpund of,. objection prominently
brought to view in late discuseions, to wit—
the supposed influence of this Seminary to
retard and cripple ear 'College- , enterprises.
lii the Banner of April 9th, "Another
Dit4ctor," referring to Carroll, Alexander,
and Marengo Colleges in the far :North
-Wdstildquires, not tli.sse zlinmble
children of the Church '-be "first provided
ln the Expositor of March first, Th.. Rice
had; before written as , follows " The two
Synods of Indiana, are , now Struggling to
put its College upon its feet:; and f if we are
rightly informed respecting ; its condition,
some coneiderable,time and liberal contri
butions will be necessary to relieve it." * *
"The,Synods of Missouri are .not in a bet.

cy,. to aay'rfothing of the young , Institution
at. St. 1.40ui5." * * "Years of persever
ing toil will be necessary to put them [these
Colleges] on a permanent basis:"
These writers do' ot overrate3he'valueof
our Colleges to the Church; and to the
country. The error lies in assuraing ,that a
single,Theological ; Senkinaly placed in the
midst of these eight or ten Synods„ could
not in due time, find -,adequate endowment
and {support without crippling the existing
In'stitutions' of the - Church. The spprehen-
Stott is groundless. In , point "of fact; large
centributors to . one, in very many cases, are
not the . large 'contributors 'to the other.
Diverse considerations Peculiarrtnindividual
cironmstancesti.sometimee . lead to, the one: or
t)Lwp. other. Past experience of the effect of
a .Seminary. upon surrounding Colleges, as
against the argument of, these brethren.
Educational` Itistituthini Of various grades,
act and re ` -cot` favorably upon each other,
from the parochial school to the Theological
Seminary. Eighty sic of the. students now
in 'Allegheny Seminary, reached that place
of higher instruction through Jefferson and
iWsshington Colleges., And we trace
.the various `steps by. which -their hearts were .
-set upon the ministry, . and their youthful
feet guided to the threshhold of the College, •.
we should find that influences from the
Seminary, direct, And indirect ( were most ,
potent in very many eises. Such a School.
of. the Prophets, in any portion of the
Church, is, of itself, a standing call to the
pine and gifted of -dur'youth to enter upon
this work"; .With the influence of its
Professors and its annual .griduating class
-going forth. among:the ehurches, it becomes
a fountain Of blessing, in :which Colleges
and Academies largely, share. And though
for its support, &draft must be made on'the
Church's benevolence,. this is returned in
blessing` upon all her. kindred Institutions,*
as `exhalations from' the iearth'elsurface are
again returnad in the 'morning - dew and
evening shower.
.Happy is it for the °burgh at large, that
more comprehensive views governed in the
times.of our fathers: Thirty five years ago,
Jefferson and - Washington Colleges were
truly "in their, infancy," . ill:4 without en
dowment. "Years of persevering toil,"
seemed "necessary to ped,thein on a per
il:anent basis." And, yet the brave and,
godly men Who guided and blessed the
Church in that, region; pleaded no such ex
cuse when called, at thatperiod, in the lead
ings of Providence, to. found the Seminary
at Allegheny withietwenty Idles of these
Colleges. Their philosophy of educational
institutions as well, as their faith, were of the
right stamp / having received an , early - im
pulse, it may be; from the entaprise and
zeal of thole, noble pioneers of Presbyterian
ism in 'the 'West John lgoMillan and
others.
So, at a'later period• in the Synod of In
diana, we find the founding of Hanover
, College, and the eStablishment of a Theo
logical Seminary by its side, with Dr. Mat
thews for its first Professor, the very Sem
inary by the way, about whose continuance,
on a broader basis, is all this discussion, were
co-eval ,events, both, occurring at the same
session of Synod, in 1829.
Verily the ministers. and elders. of that
period arouudNcw Albany and Allegheny,
were of a different mind from some who
"ONE THING IS NEEDFUL:" "ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THE LORD:" "THIS ONE THING I DO."

write upon this subject in this.our day. Val
ueing their Colleges noiless, they feared. not
that an Institution for ministerial training
would impair their oudoesol, nor did they
wait ■s. Dr, Rice proposes, for the full en
dowment of their- Professorship, and• -a
library worth "fifteen to twenty thousand dol
lars at least."*
The three bunked preachers of the Gos
pel educated by the one Seminary, and the
two hundred .by the , other, before either had
reached the full end9wment prescribed by
Dr. Aloe, and who have gone forth among the
churches of the land, form a succession of
witnesses for the Wiadom and t6recase of
those who bora rule a third 'of a 'oettury
ago.
As respects Hanover College, so far fiord
being' hindered. in its worlr, its best 'dope,
finaneially as otherwise, were during the
highest anodise of New' AlbabY Seininery.

Al3O Neglect. " '
Amongst many omissions, of Aluty one is
prominent—a"failure on the part of many
Christian parents to talk to their children' on
the subject of religion. They mayor mayhave
family worship daily;; may catechise! , their
children weekly, but they neglect tolalk- to
i then' and impart religious instruCtion orally;
this should' certainly` not be left " undone!'
They will not even =pecan, the' language '-of
the Catechisair amiconsequently their.. chil
dren will not attain that knowledge-at an.

I they .would, t were their parents uot to omit
this. Whenyou ask your children, ." , What

whilst neglecting, this important duty ;. ,more- ,

and comfortable.assurance of, your children's
having been brought to a saving, knolFjedge

children on thp subject of religion, in, in

the solemn vows you took,, when you, pre

of Inanylvitnesses, 'that you' would instruct

_Writing from Shanghai, one of the
London miseionarir says
During the past six months, twenty have been
baptized on an intelligent acquaintance with the
truth, and a procession, on their part, to follow
the precepts of our holy religion. Six have been
received into the fellowship of the church, and,
besides these,-several appear to give evidence of
real conversion, who will be admitted in a
few days. Others have left this part of the
country for their own homes, and there are some
of, whose faith and piety we stand in doubt,
whose case is therefore reserved for a future day.
In the neighborhood several stations have been
established, where the Gospel is regularly
preached, and where there are indications of the
Divine.blessing. Atone of the places mentioned
in a formulate; three miles, distant from this,
and named Teen-Ira-salt, seven individuals have
'been baptized, and fire have been received into
the church. There- are also five or six more
there,4 who are judged suitable for admission.
At a town beyond that, Ta-tdang, three individ
uals have been baptized, and appear to act in a
consistent Manner, while sacral others have
been long under instruction, and desire to be also
received into Christian fellowship. The same is
the 'case at two other places, Lin-ha and Pu-
Lung,' where' native 'agents have been laboring
for some time, and' Several have applied for
baptism. '
