of style, that awakens the careless and worldly; that convinces of sin and condemnation; that quickens into new life the spiritually dead; and makes Christians prayerful, zealous, and ready to every good word and work? Who that has had experience does not know that it is Bible truth which gives relief to the burdened conscience of the sinner? Who, that has often visited the sick and dying, has not observed that what has particularly arrested attention, and given them light and comfort, are texts of Scripture? To please, amuse, and attract an audience is one thing, but to awaken stupid consciences, to excite the inquiry, what must I do to be saved, and to convert from the practice of sin to the practice of holiness, is quite another. - In the language of the writer already quoted, "The Bible is the mediatorial instrument which the mediatorial Son of God uses in subduing the sons of men into submission to his own divine authority. This book is the very scepter of his power. This book does all the good that is done." We conclude, then, that he will do most good to the church of Christ and the souls of men, who makes the most use of the Bible, - who understands and feels in his own soul the preciousness and importance of its truth and labors to make others understand and feel their power. There is much scepticism respecting divine revelation in people of all classes. How shall this be eradicated ? What remedy should be employed? If we would dispel darkness, we must let in light. If we would exterminate error, we must employ truth, vealed truth. The Bible must speak. The Bible must refute. The infallible teachings which God has given must be explained and inculcated, so that all shall feel that it is he who speaks and not man. re CONGREGATIONAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES IN 1865-6. COMPILED BY REV. A. H. QUINT. WE resume the record, made in our early volumes, of the Professors and Students in the Theological Schools connected with our denomination, believing it will be of value to the churches. The following lists are compiled from the printed catalogues and information in manuscript. All honorary titles being omitted, it is safe to address each Professor as D.D. A dash in the column "graduated" signifies that the person is not a graduate of a college. The following abbreviations of names of colleges are used. It would be very convenient for all the seminaries to adopt the same abbreviations. The list we have adopted is prepared after looking over the whole field; and a number of changes have been necessary to secure uniformity. Will not the seminaries adopt this list? Bel.C.

An application secured, doubtless through some want of clearness on our part, only the list for the year 1864-5, instead of that for 1865-6. That list gave the names of eight students. This school has been removed from Toronto to Montreal. An act of incorporation having been procured, was adopted August 25, 1864. The college became affiliated, also, with McGill University, upon a basis mutually agreed upon, and Dr. Lillie was appointed a Fellow of the University. "The full course of study extends over five sessions [eight months of the year, each], and is divided into a Literary Course of two Sessions, and a Theological Course of three Sessions." The following is the basis of affiliation, as agreed upon by the Corporation of the University and the Board: I. Students of the said Congregational College, whether matriculated, partial, or occasional students, shall be subject to the Laws and Regulations of the Faculty of Arts, in the same manner as other students. II. The Faculty shall make formal reports to the governing body of the said Congregational College, of: —(1.) The conduct and attendance of its students in the Classes of the Faculty; (2.) Their standing in the several Examinations; and (3.) Said reports shall be furnished after the Christmas and Sessional Examinations, severally, if called for. III. Matriculated students shall be allowed no exemptions in the Course for the Degree of |
