The Congregational Council.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18-The National Council of
the Congregational Church heard the report, at
this mornings session, of the committee on
theological seminaries. The report urged the
necessity of the churches taking greater inter
est in the work of preparing students for the
ministry The missionary field, in particular,
called for more men. The semnaries could
easily care for twice as many students as those
at present attending the schools.
The reports of the professors of the colleges
we're then called for. Prof. Egbert Smith, of
the AIdover Theological Seminary, the we'll
known exponent of the probation-after death
theory, was the first one called upon, and his
appearance created interest. He spoke of the
work in the various departments of the school,
and the great progress which had been shown
during the past three years. Smyth finished
this part of his address, and was about to branch
off upon the subject which has occasioned so
much discussion, when the moderator, ap-
preaching him, said that the five minutes al
lowed each speaker had now expired.
Rev Graham E. Taylor of Hartford Semi
nary, followed Professor Smyth with cheering
report of the institution which ne represented.
Professor Fisher, of Yale Theological Semi
nary. came next, and told the old, and oft
repeated story of the growth aud progress of
that institution In regard to the recent con item
tons and controversies which have risen in
Massachusetts he said: 1--WE have taken no
part in them. not from any lack of interest, but
mainly because. old Lady Yale belonged to
another parish Yale College has been nearly
two centuries in existence as a theological semi
nary and feel sure that all good men will unite
in the earnest wish taat the college, in the future
as in the past, will be the fount of learning to
all the churches" Applause.
Professor Wright, of Oberlin, and Curtis, of
Chicago, followed. both with cheering reports
from their respective constituencies The latter
dwelr upon the great demands upon the funds of
of the seminary, and the necessities of public
support Several others made similar reports
before the midday adjournment.
