YALE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.

Fields Of Labor. The term at the Theological seminary Is nearly at It's close, the students are busy with their final examinations and with their preparations for the summer work. Most of the seniors and middlers will be engaged in some form of church work and many of the juniors. The commencement sermon will be preached this next Sunday evening when 1t is expected that the Center church will be packed to hear the Rev. Dr. Aoxom of Boston. He will have an eloquent ad- dress to deliver to the senior class. Tho seniors will occupy seats in the body of the house and the whole seminary will march to the church in double file. Wednesday, May 14, is commencement day, when exer- cises will be held In Battell chapel and ad- dresses will be delivered by Messrs. Baird, Beard, Bigelow, Chapin, Chapman, Davies, Hooker, E. T. Root, T. H. Root. E. K. Smiley, E. L. Smith and W. A. Trow. :.
 The usual reception given by the ladies of the faculty will be held in the lecture room and library on that afternoon at o'clock. The graduates of the class of '86 are intend. ing to hold reunion and class supper on Tuesday evening in the Lowell Mason music room In West Divinity hall, and each class in the seminary will probably hold "spreads" on the same evening.
 There are at present forty-one men In the graduating class. Most of them have settled plans. All who care to have places to go to, but all are not yet determined which of two or three choices they will accept.
 Of the graduate or fourth year class Rev. Henry Davies has already settled in Gresns Farms, Conn. William Grif6ths will spend the summer in Auroraville, Wis, and will return to the seminary in the fall. Ar. A: W. Hitchcock has been planning year or study in Germany. MT. L. K. Long Is al, ready and has been for over year pastor of the Taylor church in this city.
 Of the senior class twelve or fourteen men are expecting to return next year for fourth year. Some of these men will be engaged in missionary and pastoral work dur ina the summer. A band of six members of the graduating class will go to the state of Washington for permanent set clement. The local reporter for the New York Tribune makes that paper utter queer announcement to the effect that these six men will be located in towns within a ra- dius of twenty miles, and goes on to say that they have planned to "form O kind of circuit, each preacher visiting and preaching and featuring in each town in regular sue cession. Each of the young men will be regularly installed pastor of par- ticular church, but 1t is proposed to give the people oi the six congregations the benefit, if such it be, of a change of intellectual food" The strangest part of this is that the Christian Union should give oredencs enough to such report as to allow it to appear in its columns. No such plan would be thought of by members of the present graduating class.
 The following are the places to which the graduates will betake themselves sooner or later: E. B. Baeby will go to his home in Tappahanock, Va, and will engage in state missionary work in Virginia, Lucius O.
