 Ordination of MT. Edward D. Kelsey, of
 the Yale Theological School.
 Mr. Edward D. Kelsey, of the senior class in the Divinity school, was ordained as an evangelist in the Church of the Redeemer last evening.
 The services were conducted in the follow ing order:
 After a we'll rendered voluntary by the choir the minutes of the council, which met in the afternoon for the examination of the candidate, were read.
 Rev. Burdett Hart, of the First church, Fair Haven, led the congregation in invoking the divine blessing and read selections from the scriptures. The congregation then joined in singing the hymn beginning
 How beauteous are their feet

 The sermon then followed by Dr. Barbour He took for his text, Phil. 4:13: CT can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me, !" and announced as his subject: "A few of the encouragements which the minister has in entering upon his work"
 The encouragements upon which he dwelt were:
 1. The minister enjoys the presence of Christ in his own soul.
 g. The truths he declares are mainly about Christ and his salvation.
 B. Owing to his connection with Christ he becomes a laborer together with God 2 The sermon was marked throughout by that combination of originality and fervor which so freshens all of Dr. Barbour's preach ing.
 The choir then sang the hymn beginning
 '"The messengers of Christ,
 His sovereign voice obey"
 Rev. John E. Todd made the ordaining prayer, Rev. Elijah c. Baldwin delivered the charge, and Rev. Thomas R. Bacon gave the right hand of fellowship.

That if they can be thoroughly infused with Protestant Christianity they will revolutionize the Turkish people The exercises concluded with the singing of the hymn
 "Ye Christian heralds go proclaim
 Salvation through Immanuel's name" by the congregation, and the pronouncing of | the benediction by Rev. Edward D. Kelsey. MT. Kelsey expects to preach for time at l
