TAN MACLAREN's" LECTURE.
Attended Yesterday Afternoon by a
 Large Audience.

Attended Yesterday Afternoon by
 Large Audience.
 During his lecture yesterday after noon on Church Machinery before the Yale Divinity school, the Rev. John Watson took occasioan to say among other things, that pastors should all ways have in mind the existence of the sentimental in the human being. Be sure, said the reverend lecturer, that no man in your congregation is devoid of sentiment. Further, bear in mind that your hard-headed man in pew 25 is the most sentimental one in the congre- gation. All the sentiment that is in man comes out on Sunday
 You see the prosperous business man, who has long since moved up town, go- ing on Sunday going down to the little church in some quiet corner and you wonder. If you inquired for reason, it would be given in about these words: Twenty-Five years ago l came to this city friendless and alone I wandered into that church, and at it's threshhold a kindly gentleman greeted me and made me feel at home, took me to a comfortable pew, and when the service was over, bade me come again"
 Gentlemen, when you have become pastors of uptown suburban churches, do not dare take such a man from his pastor He needs him.
 On the subject of Congregations" Dr. Watson said that there were in every. church "Nomads." They cannot stay in one church more than three years. At first, under new pastor, these men cannot stay away from the ser vices. Why, they can hardly stay out of the mothers meeting. This ardor soon begins to diminish till finally the wife come and says, T am very sorry, but my husband finds that MT. - uptown administers to his spiritual life, and derives such comfort from his preaching that I am compelled, for his sake, to go with him to Mir. -'s church.
 'The Sunday School'' was touched upon at length by the speaker, who said that efficiency should be the one thing thought of when a teacher was wanted in the Sunday school.
 The day has passed, Dr. Watson thought, for inefficient young men and young women to be sent to the mission halls.' These men and women should have the best instructors that can be secured. Anne and Maria and James and John should not be sent to them

 He said that every large Congrega- tional church should have some outisde work, but it should be under the su- pervision of the very best informed member of the society. Guilds should be founded for every member of the congregation, from the child to the men of mature years. A Bible guild should be established, and men and women of mature years should have access to Bi- ble criticisms. The pastor should pre- side, but he should be there to direct, not to find fault The members should work out their questions in their own way
