Stillman Institute

Notes: Stillman Institute has just enjoyed a week of special services. Rev. J. A. Bryan, of Birmingham, came and spent three days with us, preaching three times each day, and services were conducted hy the faculty and students for the remainder of the week. Bro. Bryan literally “knows nothingsave Jesus Christ and Him crucified,” and his sermons were very helpful to both teachers and students as well as to a large number of visitors. The visible results of the meeting were that two of the students united with the Presbyterian church and one with the Baptist church, while six of the young men who had been halting between two opinions decided to enter the ministry. This gives us a total of twenty-five ministers and candidates, which is perhaps the largest number that has even been at the Institute at any one time, though the total number of students is not so large as last year or the year before. The fact that so many of our students decide for the ministry after entering school emphasizes the importance of keeping up a good Academic department. D. D. Little.
