Hts PrOgress-The Forms Which 1t

Hts PrOgress-The Forms Which 1t
 Has Takena Etc.-LYman Beecher
 Course.
 Rev. Henry Clay Trumbul1, in the second of the Lyman Beecher lectures yesterday af- ternoon, took up ''The Seventeen Centuries in the Varying Progress of the Sunday School" As long as the Christian church had it's center of life in Jewish circles it's course of instruction was Jewish. But when it gained a foothold among the Gentiles it varied in adapting itself to the new needs. The schools which it established vera the connecting links between itself and the world. The speaker quoted from Clement, OriRen and Augustine in reference to the method of conducting these schools. Just in proportion as these church Bible schools have been given the place which Christ gave them has the church made progress, and in proportion as it has failed to do this has the church failed to retain and continue the life of its members. These schools were the means by which the Roman Catholic church arrested the triumphant march of the Refor- nation, and the cause of decline in the Prot estant churches lies in the perversion of means employed for their prosecution. Dr.. Irumbun then gave sketch of the develop ment of the Sunday school in England and the United States; the secularization in the one and the sermonizing in New England which largely has taken the place of the cate ehetieal instruction.
 Next Thursday being the day of prayer for colleges the next lecture in this co urse will be given on Thursday, Feb. 2.
