The second lecture will be given this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the chapel. All friends of the seminary are welcome The reg ular annual meeting of the alumni of the Divinity school was held immediate ly after the lecture. The subject dis cussed was whether the sense of sin is declining and what the minister should do in the case" Four addresses were delivered, the first by Rev. pr. I. w. Sheath of Fair Haven. He dis cussed the question of fact, whether the sense of sin was declining, and he said [ it was and gave some reasons, among which he said that in much of the philosophy of to-day there is a denial of free will and moral responsibility. Rev. G. R. Montgomery of Bridgeport was the second speaker. He thought that men were seeing as much of sin as ever, but they did not realize the guilt as deeply as formerly and gave various reasons for his position. He referred to a class of literature that gilds sin over and excuses it, and thought also that there was a decline of revival movements.
 The third speaker, Rev. H. E. Pea body of Hartford, formerly of the Church of the Redeemer, this city. He said he thought the greatest need of the church was a deeper sense of sin and need of salvation.
 Rev. H. c. Meserve of Danbury was 1 the fourth speaker. He spoke on what the minister is to do about the situation not so much to win from sin as to win I to goodness, which is the most effective thing.
 A general discussion followed by Rev. Mr. Riddle, Rev. Frank R. Luckey and the Rev. Charles Allen Dinsmore. 1 The annual election of officers of the Connecticut Alumni association of the Divinity school was then held and re- suited as follows: President, Rev. J. H.
