President of Bates College Addresses Hartford Theological

 That the tendency is to lay more stress upon methods and machinery than upon the message; that the modern preacher is losing the note of authority and that the preachers are too often mere entertainers, are the result of multifarious activities of the modern church which make adequate preparation for the pulpit almost an impossibility," he declared,
 Saying that one cannot expect to have ignorance in the preacher and intelligence in the congregation, President Gray went on. flor years we have been ordaining at least five men either without any theologi- cal education or else perverted education where we have ordained one who has been trained in college or seminary, or both"

 Then the famous Henry Stevens diary came in for it's share when a handwriting expert declared that on some days entries had been made at three different times. with three diff ferent pencils, showing that entries might have been made to conform with the circumstances"
 With such striking evidence as this regain hope that something may yet come of this trial. Some thing may happen yet that will cause Mrs. Hall to change her ex- precision.
 Senator Simpson was very mild hammered with her during the lat ter part of her cross ss-examination. but he got in some telling blows, although her memory was very bad on several important points. Again he asked her why she wouldn't see me when I came to her house after the murders. She said she wrote me note expressing sympathy. I remember that note. It said that God would take care of me" Yes, but this Christian woman who had. been my Sunday school teacher wouldn't put herself out to see me even for moment. She put all the responsibility on God. That may be ail right, but think human beings should act in a human way.
