CATALOGUES ON APPLICATION

Lincoln University.

Lincoln University P. O., Chester Co., Penna.

Lincoln University is a college and theological school for young colored men. In 1897 the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church adopted the following resolution: "Resolved, That the General Assembly hereby expresses its deep interest in Lincoln University, and especially in its theological department, and commends this school of learning to the churches for the liberal support of its whole work, and for the separate endowment of its theological department." The collegiate studies extending through four years include a thorough course in the English language, in history, in sociology and political economy, in mathematics, in science, in Latin, in Greek, in ethics, in philosophy and in the English Bible.

The theological studies, which are post-graduate in character, extend through three years, and include a theological course in the English Bible, in church history, in sacred rhetoric, in New Testament Greek, in Hebrew, in systematic theology, in pastoral theology, in Biblical archaeology, and in ecclesiastical Latin.

Lincoln Unversity is by its charter and by the approval of the Presbyterian Church, a school of higher and especially of religious education for the negro. Its courses of study are higher than the high and normal school courses of the States, and higher than the manual education of the industrial schools. It aims to reach the height of the lofty themes of revealed religion, by all the steps of preliminary study, that are auxiliary to it, and lead up to it. The Presbyterian Church has taken its stand towards the Negro on an educational policy which recognizes him as a man made in the image of God, and therefore having a dignity which it is a sin to despise; as a fellow-man redeemed by the precious blood of the Son of God, and therefore having a value which silver and gold cannot measure and as an heir with others of eternal glory and therefore entitled to all the spiritual and providential means of grace. Lincoln University is an agent of the Church to put the Negro into possession of his inheritance. Christian benevolence towards a God-made-a Christ-redeemed -a Spirit-renewed man dares not stop at the limit of industrial benefits, because it must seek his salvation in the highest.

The Church must do for the Negro according to all that God has done for him. God does not count his glory dishonored in the Negro. Christ does not regard his blood wasted in the Negro's redemption. The Holy Spirit does not withhold His highest gifts from the Negro believer. Lincoln University advertises its success. We have not taught in vain. We certify

our Christian brethren that the Negro possesses every talent in which the Anglo-Saxon glories. He is straitened in his human opportunities, but not in his God given nature. He that helps the Negro to become a Christian helps Christ to reap the reward of his sufferings. He has paid a great price for the Negro. He multiplies them that his glory may be enhanced in their salvation. If the reader will be a helper to that end we invite him to co-operate with us, and with other like agencies of the church, in hastening the thorough Christian education of pious colored youth in order to the evangelization of the race.

Already we have advanced and accepted seventy-five students for the next theological year. We need imperatively ten additional annual scholarships, in aid of their support. We are making a strenuous effort to build a boarding hall for the accommodation of 250 students. Who will ask us, how much we need for that purpose?

Recently, a friend proposed to be two of ten to found a block of ten permanent scholarships, and has given us till January, 1904, to find the other helpers. Five in all, up to this date, have united in that effort. Who will join them?

Our catalogue will present to your notice a large schedule of our wants. Send for one.

A letter addressed to the Rev. Dr. W. P. White, 1328 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa., or to Rev. Dr. Robert F. Sample, 158 Waverly Place, New York city, or to Prof. D. A. McWilliams, Lincoln University, Pa., would bring an answer to any question which you may decide to propose.

Do you know that there are about 8,500,000 negroes in the Southern States? And that 2,500,000 of them have made great advancement in religion, in education and in all accessible industries? And that about 6,000,000 have, for thirty-eight years, in these respects, been left to themselves? White missionaries have ceased to labor among them. Can we blame them for supplying themselves with a ministry out of such materials as they have?

The Lincoln Presbyterial method of dealing with the Negro problem permits any man or woman of good will to take a hand in settling it in a Christian way. All are welcome at any time to visit Lincoln University. We invite your inspection of our work and your fellowship in its enlargement.

Isaac N. Rendall,

President.
