Religious Telescope on Shenandoah Seminary.65 This institution, situated in the beautiful and
pleasant little village of Dayton, Virginia, closed its fourth annual term, commencing on Sunday
morning, June 12th, and ending on Thursday evening, June 16th, 1881. On Sabbath morning Rev. S. A.
Mowers of Chambersburg, Pa., preached the annual sermon in the U.B. Church, his subject being “The
Bible.” His discourse was full of rich, eloquent, and deep thought, and was received by the pupils and
the large audience present with undivided attention. Bro. Mowers preached again at night to an
appreciative congregation. On Monday evening, Hon. John Paul, congressman-elect of this district,
delivered an able and carefully prepared lecture to the young men of the institution. His theme was
“The Importance of Education,” and his sound advice made a lasting impression upon his hearers, both
old and young. On Wednesday evening the two literary societies—Platonian, composed of young
gentlemen, and the Edwards, composed of young ladies—gave a joint entertainment in the Church, and
gave evidence of much improvement in the particular auxiliary of the seminary. Too much cannot be
bestowed upon the culture of oratory and the preparing of essays by the young. These societies should
be encouraged and fostered. On Thursday evening the patrons and friends of the Seminary were
entertained by the members of the Rhetorical Class, in a programme of varied character, showing that
they were not behind in this important branch of education. The exercises of the evening were
interspersed by music from the Bridgewater Cornet Band. The public examination during the week
were credible alike to teachers and pupils. The principal, Rev. A. P. Funkhouser, has disposed of the
seminary buildings to a joint-stock company, whose aim will be to make the future of the institution
worthy of the continued support of its patrons and friends. Of this change more will be known through
circulars and otherwise, at no distant day. —A.S.M.
