advantages of this institution in any stage of literary advancement, free of
all charge for instruction.

For those who have completed a College Course, or such literary studies
as may enable them, witli advantage, to devote their entire time to prepara-

j tion for the Ministry, a more tliorough course of Theological instruction is

I arranged. This is the same as that usually pursued in Theological Semi-
naries, occupying three years, and embracing, in addition to the Theological

I studies, for such as are also receiving literary instruction, specified above.

In Sacred Literature and Exegesis, Hebrew, and a more critical examina-

i tion of all the books of the Old and New Testaments.

I In Systematic Theology, a more extensive course of study, (witli the pre-
paration of Essays,) on the principal topics of Natural Religion, doctrines
of Revelation, and Constitution, Ordinances and Discipline of the Christian

i Ciiurch.

I In Church History, a critical examination of the history of tiio more iin-

I portant Heresies and Errors, the preservation of the true Christian faith and

I practice.

I In Sacred Rhetoric, more time and attention will also bo bestowed on the
