The Uiblo and Missionary institute, which has been Inc ited in Atlanta, Ga., for tho past two and a half years, has been moved to Columbia and will be open in the building of the "Oliver Gospel tabernacle." Tho purpose of the institute is tho training and pre paration of young mon and women of every denomination for any kind of Christian work, olther in the homo or or foreign field. The institute is under no no special church or society, and de pendent alone upon God, as he moves the hearts of His people in all branches of tho church, for Its support. We rest by faith In God for His providence. He has promised to supply the needs of those who trust Him, according to His riches In glory by Christ Jesu3. "The institute is intended for thoic who havo given themselves to God for His service and are wil'iog to be wit nesses or mossongors whenever Ho calls or soods them, and to this end aro ready to work and trust and endure hardship in His naino and for His glory. If I hey have means they are expected to ontrlbute to their sup poTf;, If they havo nothing they aro just as welcome, and wo look to them In faith to God for all that we need. Our prayer and faith is that God will guide as to thoso who arj to come and provide for them and all tho work of the institute. "In addition to thoso from a dis tance who live in the Institute build ing, tho Bible classes and lectures will be all open to the public and free of all charge and any who desire to attend or study the Bible will bo cordially welcomed.

The other paints are moro or less shjjrt in one*way or another; don'c go so far and costs more than Devo*. Dovoo costs least of all; you don't mind Its lasting longer', do you?
