“Little,” the young physician, brave soldier, and devoted husband of another dear friend, reminds me of the sweet promise that the darkness shall some time be made light. So each of the hundred rooms has some history, many doubtless very precious to the donors, while unknown to us. I must write of one more name, “Clarke,” which always deeply moves me. In 1862, our lamented E. P. Smith, whose earthly life went out in the Dark Continent, was laboring with his efficient and devoted wife in the hospitals of Nashville, Tenn., under the Christian Commission. Their first-born and only son, Clarke, sickened and died. Instead of leaving their post, heartbroken, they remained at the side of those wounded and dying soldiers, enclosed the precious dust in its little casket, and sent it to their dear Northern home. In 1870, without any personal appeal, but in response to a letter in the MISSIONARY, soliciting aid in furnishing rooms, came a precious note, calling down upon us and our work benedictions, of which so many have felt the inspiration, and closing with, “Please find enclosed $40 for a room in Atlanta University; please name it Clarke. Yours, for the Master, E. P. SMITH.” * * * * * This summer, through the generosity of R. R. Graves, a large wing, which has been so much needed, is being added to the girls’ building. $25 will buy a neat, plain set of furniture for each of the rooms. I am sure there are some friends who will be glad to know of this further opportunity of sending $25 and some dear name. Yours very truly, MRS. T. N. CHASE. * * * * * AFRICAN NOTES. —_Lovedale_: THE MISSIONARY, a few months since, gave facts to substantiate the assertion that the Free Church’s Industrial and Mission School at Lovedale was one of the busiest in the world. A magnificent pile of new buildings, which will cost £10,000, will soon meet the demand for enlargement which has been most urgent. The old school buildings will still be used, and these, with the new, the girl’s boarding-house, and the shops required for the various trades, will form a collegiate establishment of which Scotland may well be proud.
