DR.. Graham Taylor of Hartford, who
was July elected to the chair of Christian
sociology in the Chicago theological semi
nary, may stay in Hartford with the Hart
ford theological seminary, after all. The
Courant, speaking of the case, says:
The Chicago theological seminary Is the
largest of the Congregational semin aries OF
the country. Last year it had 1879 MEM
bers. It was established in 1858.
The chair to which DR.. Taylor has been
called is q new one in the seminary. The
fact chat 1t is exactly in the line in which
DR.. Taylor has been gravitating in his
study and work for long time makes the
call q peculiarly tempting one to him.
This study has been added to his depart
ment at the Hartford theological seminary,
but it makes only part of his many
sided work here. In the Chicago seminary
he would be able to devote his entire time

of the city itself would offer an unparal-
leled field for study. A great pressure Is
being brought to bear on DR.. Taylor by
prominent church people in the west and
northwest.
On the other hand, DR.. Taylor finds him
self deeply rooted in Hartford. The semi
nary, the Fourth church and Hartford it.
self hold his interests and affections by the
very strongest ties. Only just such an op
| portunity for work and study in just such
a line would make him think even OF
breaking from them. At present he is en-
| tirely undecided and uncommitted.
Twelve years ago last May DR.: Tsylo,
came to the Fourth church. It then had
| 700 names. Its great growth and its pres
/ ent position have been the result of ag
| gressive intelligent work on all lines of .
broad church life. OF the Congregations
| pastors of Hartford, DR.. Parker ard DR.
| Twichell have alone served longer than DR.
| Taylor.
DR.. Taylor has been connected with th
seminary for four years as professor o
practical theology.
