T is a beautiful trait of human nature which prompts the establishment of enduring memorials to perpetuate the names of the deceased. Life, at best, is short, and fails to satisfy an indestructible craving for continued existence, which is characteristic of the race. Life is a great boon, and we do not willingly surrender it ; when forced to succumb to the inevitable destroyer, we fondly hope that our memory will not die with us, but that our names shall live on. We love to build monuments that shall keep alive in the memory of succeeding generations the character and deeds of those we love and venerateshafts of granite, columns of marble, costly tombs, carved statues, portraits on canvas, memorial volumes, all the resources of sculpture, painting, architecture and literature, are drawn upon to keep fresh the memory of the dead. What better memorial can we erect in memory of lost ones whom we love, than a Christian school? Nothing is more enduring than such an institution. When once well established, it outlasts dynasties, survives revolutions, and, during successive generations, century after century, it abides like the eternal sunshine, giving light and warmth, life and beauty. To link one's name with such an institution is one of the surest ways to perpetuate it. In what way can we more completely honor the name of one who lived a noble life, than by erecting a memorial in the shape of a public hall, a library building, a chapel; the creation of a professorship, or the complete. endowment of an institution? In what other way can money be made to yield greater returns for humanity than when it is used in connection with a Christian institution of learning for the preparation of young men and young women for life's privileges and duties? Such schools convert money into manhood; they transmute gold and silver into character; they awaken slumbering talent, evoke genius, call into activity unexpected powers for good, stimulate missionary endeavor, send out men and women as messengers of love, purity and happiness. They are agents of reform; they are citadels of righteousness; they are nurseries of piety; they are a standing menace to evil; they are perpetual reminders of religion; they are God's instruments for the amelioration of mankind, and for the establishment of His kingdom on the earth. 7.
