 Last evening in the Center church on
 the green Rev. Dr. s. Parkes Cadman of
 the Central Congregational church of
 Brooklyn, N. Y.. addressed the mem
 bers of the Yale divinity school, the
 who are interested in the work of the
 theological department of Yale. The
 meeting was one in the course of ses-
 sions arranged for the appropriate cell
 ebration of the anniversary of the Yale
 divinity school and was one of the most
 interesting and impressive yet held. l The students formed at the divinity school and marched to the church,
 President Hadley and Dr. Cadman, to- gether with the members of the faculty heading the column.
 Dr. Cadman took for his subject "The Experience and Personality of the Preacher in the Christian Church. The remarks of the speaker were more di- rectly addressed to the members of the divinity school. The conditions of an- cent times were compared with those of the present, and Dr. Cadman went on to show how much greater were the advantages of the clergyman of to-day, and then claimed that with the greater advantages comes the greater responsi- bility. The men were advised concern ing the puzzling questions that arise. They were told to go ahead without fear or favor, and despite all opposition, the fact remains that Christ is recognized | as fact in history, Let us face the fu- | ture," said the clergyman, with view ] of optimism and you who have fifty | years of work ahead of you need never | fear the results"
 In their equipment Dr. Cadman said | that the personal requisites necessary are the ethical element of teaching, and by this he meant the teaching of the | | such works as those of Browning, Ten | nyson, and Wordsworth; an appropriate | spirit which is found in personal | consciousness of the love and trust of | God; a recognition of the fact that | nearly all of a preachers congregation | consists of theologians but these theo- | logians need not be necessarily relig- ious and display of the greatest ener- gy in the choice and delivery of words that those words are more than the words of the minister.
 President Hadley spoke at the meet ing only in very brief introduction of the speaker of the evening.
 The other services yesterday consist | ed of special mayer meeting at 9.15j a. m., led by Dean Sanders in the divin- lty school chapel, and largely attend ed communion service conducted by Professors Brastow and Porter. This latter meeting was held at p. m.
