A FINE ADDREss.-The Rev Edward G
Ray, ID ID, secretary Of the PRESBYTERIAN
board OF aid for colleges and academies,
delivered an address last Monday at the
Presbyterian church on Christian educa-
tion. or thinking, that made q strong
impression on the good sized audience
fortunate in being present to hear him,
As a mere literary effort it was a treat
not often enjoyed in Albany. It was
better still, an eloquent and powerful
presentation CT thinking as maker OF
character. A short newspaper report
cannot do justice to the clearness OF the
views, backed by splendid illustrations,
OF the speaker on the snbiect. 1t was a
live, mastery effort, with enough spice
TO make the feast complete one. Those
who heard ii will certainly have n
greater ambition for right thinking for
themselves, and as well to do all in their
power to help build up educational insti-
tutions for the young OF the rising gener-
alton, around which there will be the
best influences, and whose field for
superior instructions may be gradually
increased. DIR Ray left on the 10 20
train for San Francisco, intending on his
way to stop of for day at Grants Pass.
