COLLEGE ITEMS.

PRESENTATION.

Eld. J. Byington, a venerable minister well known in our denomination, recently presented to the College $100. Eld. Byington has now reached the extreme age of eighty-seven years. In donating what he has to the College he furnishes a touching illustration of that tender regard for the young which is so often felt by those advanced in years. It reminds one of the saying of the beloved John, who was well stricken in years when he wrote: “I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong.” 1 John 2:14.

PREACHING SERVICES.

Eld. Geo. I. Butler has on two occasions favored the students with stirring discourses of great practical value. His efforts were highly appreciated.

GAS.

The College is lighted now by gas from the city gas works. The light thus provided is abundant, and furnishes a striking contrast in this particular to the light furnished last year by the naphtha gas.

LETTERS.

Persons addressing students by letter should write to them in care of the College. Some commence the superscription with the name of the College. This produces confusion. The following address will furnish a proper model:—
J. H. Garland, College, Battle Creek, Mich.

ENVELOPES.

The College book-stand has just procured a fine lot of white, amber, and cream colored envelopes, which it offers at the following rates to those who would like to assist in advertising the College without any extra expense to themselves: 2 packages, post-paid to any address, for 25 cents. On the left-hand end of the envelopes is a neat cut of the College, etc., as represented below.
“Not How Much, but How Well.”
“Not How Much, but How Well.”
It will be observed that in the imprint on the envelopes now offered, provision has been made for the insertion in writing of the name and address of the sender of the letter. This is a marked improvement on the envelopes offered last year, inasmuch as it secures the return to the writer of letters which fail to reach the hands of those to whom they are addressed. Some of the white envelopes are five, and some four, inches long. The amber and cream are all five inches long.

LECTURES.

As stated in last week’s REVIEW, it is proposed to commence a series of lectures on the evening of Feb. 24, covering the points of faith peculiar to our people. These lectures will be delivered in the Tabernacle for the double purpose of giving the citizens of Battle Creek an opportunity to become acquainted with the reasons of our faith, and to give those of our students who design to enter the ministry the privilege of studying the methods of those who have had a large experience in the matter of presenting the truth to the people. As it is expected that the attendance from the outside will be quite large, it is believed that the lectures will partake so largely of the nature of actual work in the field, that they will offer to candidates for the ministry even greater advantages than could be obtained in connection with ordinary tent work.

TEACHERS.

As Prof. W. B. Gregory’s health is such that he has found it necessary to spend a short time in rest and recreation, Prof. G. H. Bell has been employed to take charge of his classes during his absence.
