THE SEMINARY AIMS (1) to develop a vigorous spiritual life as the only sound basis for scholarship and service, (2) to train in scientific methods of exegetical and historical research, (3) to discover the truth of God as revealed in the Scriptures and the leading of his Spirit in history, and to apply that truth in the realms of thought and endeavor, so as to meet the present needs of the world and promote the spread of his Kingdom.

THE CURRICULUM is arranged in accordance with a system of Grouped Electives. It is thereby adjusted to the needs of students wishing either balanced course, or one rather closely specialized. It is also fitted to Un.. versity students prepared to acquire advanced standing.

THE MISSIONS COURSE, on the Lamson Foundation, provides opportunity for thorough Mission study.

THE SCHOOL OF RELIGIOUS PEDAGOGY affiliated with the Seminary supplies an invaluable supplement to the instruction in this department.

GRADUATE STUDY is strongly encouraged. The degrees of S.T.M. and Ph.D. are given under carefully defined conditions. Two fellowships are offered, each for two years of foreign study.

THE APPARATUS includes a rapidly increasing library of about 80,000 volumes (excluding duplicates), museum, reading-room, gymnasium, music room, etc.

TERMS OF ADMISSION. Candidates for admission must be members of some Christian church and graduates of some college. Those who are not college graduates may, after examination, be admitted on probation during the first term. All courses are open to women on the same terms as to men. EXPENSES.No charge is made for tuition, rooms, furniture, and bedding, except a nominal fee of $25 for use of steam and for supervision. Board is provided under the care of the Students' Association, at about $4 per week.

Scholarship aid is provided for those needing it in addition to the grant from the Education Society.

THE

HARTFORD SEMINARY RECORD.

VOLUME XVI., No. 4.- - AUGUST, 1906.

[Entered at the Hartford Post Office as Second Class Matter.]

Published quarterly on the 1st of November, February, May, and August. Subscription price, $1.00 per year, in advance. Single copies, 30 cents. Remit to order of HARTFORD SEMINARY PRESS, Hosmer Hall, Hartford, Conn.

EDITORIAL BOARD:- - Professor Arthur Lincoln Gillett, Professor Waldo Selden Pratt, Professor Charles Snow Thayer. Associate Editor: Charles Kellogg Tracy, Business Manager: - Ernest Albert Yarrow.

With this number the RECORD closes its sixteenth volume. Beginning with the next volume the dates of issue will be changed. Heretofore the magazine has been issued quarterly, beginning with November. Hereafter it will appear in January, April, July, and October. The next number will accordingly be postponed until January 1, 1907. It is believed that this change will meet the approval of subscribers.

It is hoped that beginning with the coming year the Seminary will issue at stated intervals, quarterly or oftener, "Bulletins" which will more adequately do what in the past was attempted by the "Alumni News" and the "Seminary Annals" of the RECORD. These "Bulletins," when issued, will be sent to all RECORD Subscribers who make request for them.

Every science has its unexplored north pole, its dark stellar spaces, and therein lies its invincible charm. The allurement of the unknown and the victory over the unknown are its impulse and its triumph. Such a tract has been, for psychology, the realm of the child's mind. Here too has been a region which theology has felt impelled to explore, or at least to penetrate, by its hypotheses if it would bring into consistency its theory of the true relation between God and man.

vinist, Baptist and Pedobaptist have been constrained to make declaration as to its contents, significance, and potency. Modern students both of psychology and of religion have sought to explore by the methods of the laboratory and the questionnaire the religious experience of childhood and to generalize from the data thus obtained. The spending of forty years in a single pastorate, which has throughout been singularly earnest, sympathetic, and successful in its ministry to the young, is by no means 'the least efficient method of acquiring appreciation of the religious activity of youth. It is therefore with especial pleasure that we are able to present the article on the Religious Experiences of Childhood, by Rev. Joseph H. Twichell of Hartford, the Greatheart among New England ministers, whose supreme privilege it has been to conduct a multitude of children to the gates of the Celestial City. The minister who reads will appreciate that sympathy with childhood, and sympathy with the mind of Christ may be as true guides to truth as the latest theories of psychologic pedagogics.

One of the earliest recollections of the writer's boyhood is the sign of a jeweller's shop constructed in the form of a gigantic watch bearing on its face the legend "time is money." This was the appeal to the inventive genius, the watchword of industrial progress. A later maxim of commercial and political success was money is power." Coniston is a sermon on this text. In his instructive address on "Technical Education in Relation to Educational Development" delivered at the last Commencement of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Mr. Charles G. Washburn, president of the corporation, very appropriately calls back to the adage of the father of modern science that "knowledge is power." In it he shows how intimately the commercial influence of a nation is linked with the intelligence of its workmen. trained in technological and trade schools. The question how to succeed pierces with its interrogation point the ministry as well as other callings. Some today are answering it along the line of Mr. Washburn's address, with its appeal for the technical and trade school. The ministry is by no means dishonored when,
