The organization known as the Clerical AssO-
ciaton consisting OF Presbyterian clergymen who have
been accustomed for several years past to meet onco
week to discuss the merits of sermons preached on the
Sabbath preceding met yesterday at the Union Iheo-
logical Seminary The question, what is the homl-
lcca training in theological SemlnaT1esf was con
sidered The Rev Ar Stevens of Providence ater re-
mardng that that department which was the most lul
nortant in the Seminares last attended TO- ad t
the system of preaching sermons was most Ogect0h-
able: that at Princeton the student was not IN
structed how he should preach at al, only
condemned if it happened to be badly DONE An lmpres-
sion was thus made upon the unhappy victlm that he
could never afterWard wholly recover from lie Thought
better plan would be 10 have different clergy yinen-Dr
Hall Mr. Dcecher, Or. Cuyer, for instance to address
fine students on topics previously arranged, ana ais
tribute salary equally among hem students
might with profit, be made 10 serve preliminary wear
