Yesterday Afternoons Address.
 In Marquand chapel at 8 o'clock yes terday afternoon President Tucker of Dartmouth college delivered second interesting and instructive lecture. He was greeted by an audience which com pletely filled the chapel In beginning he gave a summary of the lecture de- liVered on Thursday. His topic of yes- terday was How Far Can We Expect to Educate the Preacher" He said in part:
 The preacher is by some classed with the poet and orator, but this is the per- sonal element of genius. This must be unhindered. If considerable number of those entering the ministry were genuises the means of education would be strained. Education should apply to all We must draw upon the evident services of intellect and simply for the best interest of society. Half of the men of genius are born of lowly paren- tage. The school should develop there. The incentive to enter the ministry has changed. In early New England times the ministry was more than profess sicn, it pertaiaed largely to an aris- tocratic class. Education set forward the ministry. To-day we have the di- rect appeal of the ministry to the in- dividual man Some turn from other professions under pure conviction. The recruits of the ministry must come from the exceptional men who are call ed of God
 Education can do three things for the preacher CD Develop and furnish the man provided he has patience. Society wants the sincere man. The dis covery of oneself is best effected by modern education. The schools do not keep the student too long in prepara- ton. Business demands more time for advancement. Why should the man en- tering upon profession demand less time. What the young man gives in preparation is returned in a longer life work. @ It gives him contact with the minds of his time The modern mind is utilitarian. The preacher should know and understand the work ing of this type of mind. His state ments will be truer and more exact. Facilities should be offered the student for the ministry for gaining a knowl- edge of the technicalities, especially in Greek.
 (3). Clear access to truth. Truth cam not be had for the asking. Life is be- coming complicated. Truth is received from each new age. It is the search for the truth that characterizes the age. o Scholarship does not produce doubt, but helps men to act more in telligently. There are but two posi- tions for the church to take: CD fall back on antiquity and go to Rome or CD encourage the best scholarship for the entertainment of the truth.
 The advantage of an educated minis try is that they can give light and guide men straight The task is a great one. The new light in which the Bible is placed the theory of evolu- mand careful study.
 There are various ways in which it can be expressed: First, it colors the thoughts; second, in method and imi- tation. The influences of association arc many. The fundamental idea of the school is the group. Great influ ences have arisen out of groups. It is the center of impulse and energy. This is the idea of the social settlement. Man needs companionship.
 There are three great moral move inents which influence and characterize the American church of the age. (a) Modern missions; (b) anti-slavery con- flicts; Co social reform, now on us and associated with a distinct race.
 How far can we educate the preach CT? We can guarantee to anyone man the education of a minister. but in the general results some great preachers will arise finished for his task, full of the power of preaching.
