During tho long vacation the forcos of enoh ingtitution havo beon busily engaged in sot- tivg things in order. Rooms have beon ropaired aud refarnished, and othorwise mado ready. Each sominary is oxpeoting a largo increnso of studonts. Applications have boon consiantly coming in. THE PRESDYTERIAN SEMINARY s dotormined to ondow & new chalr, to bo onlled Cliristian Apologotica, There.is no such chair at present in any institution fu tho country, 1t is proposcd to mako tho ondowmont 60,000, svhich will placo it on a financial basis equal to tho othor chairs, Tho Rev: R. W. Patterson, D. D., has beon olocted to this Professorship, nnd it ia quite cortain that howill accept, though mothing official is aunounced. - His clurch pro- poso to make him & prosent of $25,000, and to pay him 2,600 aonually nntil the chair is fully eudowed. Ovor $20,000 of the sum to be pro- seuted has been raised, and thoro is no doubt respeeting tho balanco, . City proporty valuod at £25,000 ins been promised for tho ondowment of this cinir already, by a prominent and woalthy citizen, Bo there is scarcely a doubt that tho chair will soon Lo “endowed, and thac Dr. Patterson will nltimately bo n Professor in the institution, Theroe is perhaps no man in the whole country batter quakified to 1l this cheir than Dr. P, No man has dono moro for Proshytorianism -in--Cnicago and the Groat West. His experionce, scholarship, ac- quaintance, practical kuowlodgo, and the fmplicit conlldence bostowed by ths Christian publio in him, all nesure, in his ocoupaucy of this chair, a great acquisition to the sominary. Another movement - latoly made by this inati- tution is tho - raising of ©100,000 on time sub- scriptions for the purposo of bLuilding a chapol, library-room, eto. * Thoso buildings are groatly nooded. Tho plan requires that 350,000 of this fund must bo Becured withln one yoar from May 1, 1873;' otherwise tho subscription * will not hold.” Ahbout 818,000 of this amount is nlroady taken, most of which has been given in notoy wmado payable in fivo aonual installments. O. I McCormick, who favors the plan, has sub- reribed for himsolf and family £5,600.

Tho great storm which tho Profonsor hing stir- xed up, and which is likely to move across the ‘continent, is in those words, which are quoted from thoe sormon : - Inspirotion ia tho dlvine aselstance given to man, suck that ho becamo eunbled to think wika thoughits, and hotter, nnd doviso useful things above tho ordinary thought and utility of the times, , ., Inspiration rould, thorefare, aseumo tho form of & help, ratler 1han of a full vccupation of the human Ime{l’uet and Seolings, and would no mors b a perfect unfolding of Uod's wholu charactor than tho wild Tudlan I8 an ex- pression of God’ perfect ideal of tho creature man, . . .
