It in in this viow that tho writor fluda hia sufticiout occasion for the following appeal : Will you not, for this once, put seide all pride of hospitality, all weak subservionce to custom, and consider fairly whether it is not better, kinder,—a more consclence-approyablo act,— to refrain from placing ou the sideboard, tho refreshinent table, or anywhero In sight, any al- coholio bovorage, than ta contribute in any «to- gree to the ovily that have tnoir origin iu Now- vear's Day judulgouces? Aro not tho following roagona for so doing unanawerablo? First—It is certain that many youths will taste wine or liquor for tho Arut time on Now-Yoar's Day. I¢ ia probablo that somu of those will uo- quire a fonduoss for strong drink,—will in time become habitual tipplers,—and itis moro than pousible that some will sink to the wrotcl sd con- dition of confirmed inebriatea, Is it not plain that whoover shall bave offered such thoir {irut Ginss will have proved tue most effuctive agent toward thoir subsequent degradation? Tor, without the fret lanes certmioly no human be- ing can become a drunkard. decond—It in aluo certain that many who drink will become drunk for the ilrat time on Now Yoar's Day. Will uot responsibility for the dis- ftace attachlog to such reatin womo dogres npun all who have tempted them, oither by direct ins ducement or by suggested invitation to drink ? Third-—Aud it is most probable, if not cor= taiu, that many who have already drauk to auch excess as to alarm then, aud who aro now strive ing to reform, will be overcome by the tempta- tions of the ays end will sink again, perhaps irretrievably, And again tho question Are not tho tempters partly responsible? Can it be doubted that if theso last wero to visit house efter house snd find no spirits offerod them they would be atrengthened in their good reso- Jutions? Ney, moro: is it not probable thats tingle instance of the absence of liquor, whero at might bave been expected, would bayo such wholesome, atreugtboning effect ? It is not necessary to multiply reasons. Tho threo that bave been offered ara smongat the weakest that might bo prosented, but they are ofa practical nature, and so commond them- i golves alike to those oprosel to, and to those in favor of, * total abatinener," Tn conclusion, just ona more query.

Thoy bad met thera in the ceuton- nial yoar, to unito in looxing over the pnat history of the Sominsry, and to look forword to tho future, We lived in an age of won- decs. ‘his city was s wonder, ood was chorishod by the poopie of tho entire country. Aiong tha institutions of tho city none was more chorished than tho Baptist Theological Sominary, Jlonor to the brave men who found- od it, Honor to the poopla who lad contributed to ity succoss during all the provious yoars, ‘Tho work of the Sominary had been woll-kuown toallpresont, Ithad atrugglied along and ace cumulated a property valued at $276,000. From tronty atudonss, eight years ago, it badadvancod to soventy, During tho yoar and no half tbat the spoaker had beon a mombor uf tho Board, they bad often been ombar- rassod to know how to get along under sorious iinancial dilliculties.

In tho opinion of tho Board tho Baptiats of tho Northwest would rally around the Somipary this yoar aud raisothe amount required, In tlie Rreat Work the Baptists of Chicago must take tho lead a4 thoy havo taken it in the past. They had done nobly heretofore, and thoy would no doubt sustain thoir reputation for Itborality that thoy bad go worthily acquired. THY REV, DD, NOUTIRUT, Prosidont of tha Sominary, noxt addrcssod the mescmblage, He bogan by saying that the ap- ponl made by the precoding spaakor was, to hie talnd, of the right kind.

It was specially necoasary toyoung men who wero about to prosch tho Gospel, Tho Theological Sominary was tho placo where they could bert fit themsolves for tho work to which thoy wore callod, and it was tho daty of all Obristian men to sustain such an institution. In rogard to the pautha would say that the Sominary waa organized eight voara ago with three Profossora sad twenty stadents, with a fow thousanddollara endowimont, and no buitd- inga, Ite biatory bad been marked by progrees in avery direction, Tho Fasulty had beon in- croasod from threo to six, the students to sov- enty, and library had boon added. ‘Chore wero now accommodations in the building for ovor sixty etadenty aud the families of sevoral of tho Profeavors, ‘Iho Semiuary had s regular course of study of turee yours. “There was also a two- year course for those who were unable to go through: the entire curriculum. There was, bo- sides, @ Beandiuavian course, where young mon of that nationality could receive instruc- tion. Iho Seminary bad made progress in many other yroapects, It had a better class of students, and the Faculty waa doing more methodical work. ‘The dnanclal burdens ufthe Sominary bad been borne by about tex men, than whom no better Board of Mansgera over oxisted. During the pnat ton yeara thoy iad bad more than a hundred meotings,—one a mouth, It was tne that other men came in and relieved the prosent ‘T'rnatoes, ‘I'no justitution did not belong to Chicago alone, Ii belonged to Olio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, and the en- tire Weat. It waw time that youog meu camo in and took the placo of the men who had care ried ou the Seminary, aud brought in new energy into every departwent. He believed that tho work of tho Seminary was of supreme impor- tance, aud that tho ‘I'rusteea wore not asking too wuch in the appeal that was now made. ‘TUB REY, W.
