Line 1              Having become acquainted with the design & char-

Line 2              acter of the Lane Theological Seminary, we cheerfully

Line 3              recommend it to the benevolent as needing &

Line 4              deserving their liberal patronage.  Its plan em-

Line 5              braces a course of study similar to that of our

Line 6              best Theological Seminaries; its system of manual

Line 7              labor is well fitted for a new country & its loca-

Line 8              tion in the heart of the west will afford peculiar fa-

Line 9              cilities of usefulness throughout the whole extent of

Line 10            the great Western Valley. We therefore regard its object

Line 11            as one of common interest to all who feel the im-

Line 12            portance of systematic efforts to furnish the

Line 13            means of a thorough education for the Christian

Line 14            ministry in the Western States.
