We call attention also to the supplemental list, which shows the names
and residences grouped together side by side. This grouping itself is
interesting as showing the nationality of our work. May we not hope
that these who have gone out from us shall be spared the anxiety and
sorrow which must come by a contraction of their work unless those
from whom they have gone shall be able to meet its pecuniary
necessities? Will not those to whom these words shall come unite their
prayers and contributions with those of the faithful workers at the
front, that they may be saved from the disaster of retreat from the
work to which they have given their hearts and hands?

MEMORANDUM.--It would be well for those who are interested in the
American Missionary Association work to preserve this February
magazine, because it contains the catalogue of our workers for the
year.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY, THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.

The Junior class is the best qualified that has entered within the
knowledge of the present teachers. The general standard of scholarship
steadily advances. The students are very useful in all kinds of church
and mission work in the city. Rev. C. H. Butler is doing excellent
work in place of his honored father, who was so long connected with
us. Dr. Pitzer, of the Southern Presbyterian Church, who was also long
our faithful co-worker, gave an eloquent address at our last
anniversary, and has just kindly remembered us with a valuable gift to
our library. Rev. Mr. Reoch, the new pastor of the Fifth
Congregational Church, is doing enthusiastic work in Rev. Mr. Jones'
place, and in place of Rev. Mr. Small, Rev. Dr. Little gives our
students the benefit of his rich experience as their instructor in
pastoral theology.

PROF. FRED. W. FOSTER.

We are beginning our year's work with much better promise than in any
previous year. Our enrollment is a fourth greater now than at the
close of October last year, when it was greater than ever before at
that time. Our boarding department is also filling up much faster.
Better than this is the very marked gain in the tone of the school and
in the character of the work done, and the orderliness and
studiousness of the pupils. It is cheering to look through the various
rooms and note the cheerful diligence with which they are at work.
The reverse side of all this is ou
