A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY. From the Southern Presbyterian. _ No doubt many of the readers of the Southern Presbyterian have often heard of the Ferguson-Williams College for colored girls at Abbeville, S.C. For many years Rev. E. W. Williams and his wife labored in Abbeville under the direction of the Freedmen’s Board of the Northern Presbyterian Church. They enjoyed the confidence of the Board and were used as examples of what a colored man and his wife could do for their people in the South. God blessed their work and they built up a church of 150 members and a large school, known then as Ferguson Acad- emy. About two ago Mr. Will- iams wrote an article in his paper call- -; Fe : A pot * shove them off to linger and languish ing attention to rumors affecting the good standing of one of the Board’s schools for girls. A severe controversy sprang up over the matter. The result of itall was that Williams bought prop- erty and built another school. Fora year he and his wife have alone been conducting a successful school in their new and excellent building. Last win- ter application was made to our Exec- utive Committee of Colored Evangeli- zation to purchase this property and take charge of the school. But there were matters involved that made it seem best to refer the matter to the General Assembly at Dalas. The As- sembly referred the matter back to our committee with power to act. The committee after most careful consider- ation has adopted the following: ‘‘Re- solved that the committee approves of the purchase of the Williams school property upon favorable terms, pro- vided the Church in South Carolina or elsewhere will undertake the payment of the debt and the expense of carrying on the school without infringing on the income of the committee for its regu- lar work. Resolved, that the secre- tary, Rev. J. Lowrie Wilson, D. D., and Rev. J. Watkins, D. D., appointa committee to canvass the Church and ascertain its mind.”’ With the substan- tial approval of the Assembly and with express approval of the Executive Com- mittee of Colored Evangelization, this most important matter is referred to God’s people for their help. AN INTERESTING OCCASION. I was invited recently to go to Abbe- ville to make the commencement ad- dress at the closing of the session of the Ferguson-Williams College. I was present at the e es with other white friends of the enterprise day and night for four days. I heard _recita- tions, songs, instrumental music, era- tions, es: . I saw gymnastic exer- cises of various sorts, and most gladly testify to the high character of the per- formances. I did not see a single girl hesitate about anything. ything showed patient and careful training. I enjoyed the unique distinction of mak- ing a commencement address to a very large audience at eleven o’clock at night, and they didn’t go to sleep either! The impression made on my mind was that in this school real, sub- stantial good was being done by colored people for colored_ people under the sympathetic eye of their own white neighbors. It seemed a weil nigh ideal arrangement. A BIT OF HISTORY. Rey. E. W. Williams is a naéive of Maryland, and was carried, I believe, by a Union soldier at the close of the war to Maine, where he was prepared for college. Afterwards he went to Howard College in Washington City. Leaving there he came South. His wife was born in Washington, where she attended Howard also. She was a teacher in the Washington Public Schools, which are among the best in the country. She has had a thorough training as a teacher. They are one in the opinion that the kind of education needed by the colored girls of the South to-day is that which, while it gives them a thorough intellectual training, will fit them to be industrious and useful citi- zens, able and willing to labor skilfully with their brains or their hands for an honorable living. Tt They are _particu- larly careful for the spiritual interests of the girls. I preached in the school for five days last spring and witnessed a dozen very intelligent confessions of faith amongst the girls of the college. Il have carefully examined this school in and out. My deliberate conviction is that its plans and methods are help- ful and sound to an unusually high de- gree. If we were to start from the bot- tom we could not produce such teach- ers and managers and so suitable a building in twelve or fifteen years. WHAT ABBEVILLE SAYS. There is but one opinion in Abbeville amongst the white citizens, as far as 1 could hear, about Rey. and Mrs. E.W. Williams and their work in that region, and that is a feeling and expression of great confidence. The session of the Abbeville church, embracing some of the best and wisest men in South Caro- lina, has ordered the preparation of a testimonial of their high regard for the workers and their work. WHAT ABBEVILLE DID. sion gave me permission to maakoa statement from the pulpit and take a subscription for this work. W ith- out extra effort and with a simpie state- ment, the congregation subscribed $125 towards the purchase of the property. A board of trust of some 4 es oe nen of the town was appointe ak charge of the fund. Mr. J. Allen Smith, president of the National Bank of Abbe- ville, is the treasurer of this fund, which cannot. be used for any other purposes i i | i WHAT NOW? Our committee will appoint one of the best men we can find to take charge of a canvass of the churches of South Car- olina as far as the way may be opened to raise the sum of $2,000, the amount actually needed now for the pressing needs of this enterprise. It will all be spent in South Carolina, and every cent will go toward the actual purchase of { the property unencumbered. Much | more than this will be needed ulti-| mately ; but this sum will give us title. COME Now! Itis time foraction! We have talked enough. Show the colored people that in proposing for them an Independent African Church we do not propose to without appliances with which to do their work. Who will be the first man to send $500? Send it quick to Mr. Smith! Some more after awhile. Faithfully yours in Christ, A. L. PHiuirs, Sec. _ TUSKE £ NORMAL. AND _IN- DUSTRIAL INSTITUTE. TUSKEEGEE, ALA., July 30, 1895. Our night school closed July 26. It opens again the 10th of September. Mr. Wm. E. Benson, a graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C., has been employed by this school as a photographer.
