rage, Rev. E. G. CUMMINGS, Rev. J. A.
Bellows, Rev. W. H. Haskell, Rev. j.
B. Shepherd, Rev. D. K. Crosby, Rev.
]. y. Perkins. The discussion for the
day was introduced by Or. Burrags in
most scholarly and exhaustive paper
upon the subject, The Anabaptisti
Of the. Sixteenth Century" Probably
few men in the country have devoted
more serious study to this most interest
ing movement following in the wake o1
the Reformation" The subj ect was
treated in more sympathetic way thar
is familiar to, the world in the usual
church histories. The Anabaptists are
generally treated as a sect of religious
fanatics. as in great part they were. But
to judge the movement by the excuses
of thought and immortality that seized
upon many of them were to misjudge
the movement itself.
DR.. Burrags gave thorough review Of
the literature OF the subject, traced the
growth from Switzerland and over Eu
rope, examined their doctrines, spoke 81
the hyinnology of the prosecutions that
they suffered and the bearing of Their
teachers upon the thought of the present.

the discussion was serious and helpful
