Tlllett, of Nashville, gave another of Ills popular vesper lectures to the ministers. His subject was “The Contribution of Meth- iodlsm to tho Theology of the Chrls- * tian World.” Under six heads ho dl- rvlded his theme, and made the prosy > subject of theology bristle with absorb- | ing interest. Dr. Tlllett spoke of how ‘ Methodist theology had wrought mighty ! changes in tho doctrines of the Chrls- ftian world that were believed before •the advent of Methodism: 1. As to the doctrine of God and His * attributes. 2. As to doctrine of man. 3. As to Jesus Christ and His atone ment. 4. As to the work of the Holy Spirit. 5. As to the doctrine of the church. fi. As to the future life. At the conclusion of his lecture he was requested to embody the thoughts of this lecture In a booklet to be dis tributed among the masses of the church. These Intricate subjects were made most lucid to the average mind by the clear and forcible style of Dr. Tlllett, a leader among Methodist the ologians. Missionary Anniversary.

Reynolds, one of. the vet erans, In making a speech said of all the diseases he had ever been heir to and afflicted with, he had never yet caught the malady called "Evolution.” There seems to be very little sympathy for evolution, re-statement of doctrine, and other theological ills, on the part of the great body of the conference. One is struck with the great loyalty of these men of God to the old Bible and the divine inspiration of the Scrip tures. Rev. J. D.
