The letter which Philip had received, and which his wife now read, was as follows: REV.

PHILIP STRONG, Pastor Calvary Church, Milton: DEAR SIR AND BROTHER:--The Seminary at Fairview has long been contemplating the addition to its professorship of a chair of Sociology.
The lack of funds and the absolute necessity of sufficient endowment for such a chair have made it impossible hitherto for the trustees to make any definite move in this direction.

A recent legacy, of which you have doubtless heard, has made the founding of this new professorship possible.

And now the trustees by unanimous vote, have united upon you as the man best fitted to fill this chair of Sociology.

We have heard of your work in Milton and know of it personally.
