 ADDRESS BY J. A. HAMILTON. Rev. John A. Hamilton, D. D., of Bos-
 ton, Secretary of the Congregational
 Education Society. Read a Historical
 
 The Congregational Education socie- ty, like the American Board, traces its origin largely to young men. On the 18th day of June, 1915, eight young men. whose names have not been preserved, met in Boston and signed the following agreement:
 We, the undersigned, do agree to meet on Monday evening next, July 5 to take into consideration the eXpedi- ency of forming ourselves into an asso- citation to educate pious young men for the ministry.'' Other meetings ensued
 During the last week of July 1915, q few individuals in Boston, impressed with the belief that the religious well fare of the country demanded a great increase in the number of ministers and missionaries, invited several clergymen from neighboring towns to meet them for consultation.
 Their deliberations resulted in a vote that it was expedient that a society be formed for the purpose of aiding young men having talents and piety, but no money, to acquire an education pre- paratory to preaching the gospel. A 1 committee of six clergymen and four | laymen was appointed to frame con- stitution to be reported at a future meeting." According to adjournment, | the next meeting was held in Boston, l the 18th of the August following, and was attended by about fifty gentlemen l A constitution was reported, discussed, and adopted, and the meeting was ad- | journed to October 26, at Park street church, as a clause in the provisional | constitution would imply, when a ser- mon was delivered by the Rev. Elipha- ] let Pearson, D. D., and collection talk | en-,
 | For reasons not reported it was voted to postpone the formal establishment of the society to the 7th of December, when it was formally organized as ! ''The American Society for Educating i Pious Youth for the Gospel Ministry, D and the following gentlemen were elec- 1 ted officers:
 His Honor William Phillips, Esq, | president.
 Samuel Salisbury. Esq, first vice ! president.
 William Bartlett, Esq, second vice president.
 Hon. William Reed, Esq, third vice i president.
