THE THEOLOGICAL UNION.On Wednesday, October 3, the Baptist Theological Union, a body which, in connection withthe University, directs the work of the DivinitySchool, held its annual meeting in Haskell Oriental Museum. In the absence of Judge C. C.Kohlsaat, president, Mr. Andrew McLeish, vicepresident, occupied the chair. The annual reportof the Board of Trustees was read by Dean Hul-bert.After referring to the lamented death of Wm.B. Bray ton, who had served as a trustee for morethan twenty-four years, it states that since the reorganization of the Divinity School in connectionwith the University of Chicago each year has seenan increase in the number of students. For theyear 1898-9, 336 students were enrolled. Theenrollment the past year has been 390. Theattendance by divisions has been as follows:Graduate Divinity School, 238; English Theological Seminary (Summer Quarter, 1899), 55 >Scandinavian seminaries, 55 ; unclassified, 42. These students came from thirty-five states andeleven foreign countries. The states most largelyrepresented were, Illinois, 87; Iowa 37; Indiana,25; Michigan, 22; Wisconsin, 21; Ohio, 20;Minnesota, 18; Missouri, 16; Pennsylvania, 12;Nebraska, 10 ; New York, 8.The students came from 176 institutions ofhigher learning. The colleges most largely rep*resented being the University of Chicago, HiramCollege, Bucknell University, Vanderbilt University, Bethany College, Denison University, DesMoines College, University of Minnesota, ButlerCollege, Yale University, Colgate University.The religious life of the Divinity School showeda marked advance and improvement. This wasattributed chiefly to the daily prayer service, inwhich pupils and teachers have striven togetherto quicken the spiritual life. The professors havetaken turns in leading, these meetings, and theaim has been to make them practical, edifying,and devotional.The work of the Scandinavian seminaries hasbeen of the most satisfactory character. Theyear's graduating classes have been the largest inthe history of the schools, and yet so rapid is thegrowth of our Baptist cause among these peoplesthat the seminaries very inadequately supply thedemand for trained ministers.The following statistics will exhibit the amountof ministerial work done by Divinity studentsduring the year. Thirty-four churches havebeen served by students as pastors during theentire year or the greater part of it. Sixteen ofthese churches are within the bounds of the Chi-290 UNIVERSITY RECORDcago association. The good work done by theseyoung men is shown by the fact that two fifths ofthe net increase of members in the entire association occurs in these churches. Equally effectiveservice has been accomplished in other churchesin northern Illinois, northern Indiana and southern* Wisconsin!- A most promising new work hasbeen opened at Chicago Heights. Twenty youngmen have been engaged during some .part .of theyear in assisting pastors and conducting the workof missions, while from five to ten have been sentout every Sunday to supply vacant pulpits. Theimperfect account kept of this work records 2729sermons preached, 8692 religious calls made, 179apparent conversions and 132 baptisms.Edward Goodman, the treasurer, read his thirty-seventh annual report, showing current receiptsfor the year ending July 1, 1900, of $14,550.45and expenditures the same amount, includingsmall cash balance. The endowment account,including cash on hand at the beginning of theyear and repayments of loans, showed receipts$61,178.30 and reinvestments of the same amountless cash on hand $4378.30. The total assets ofthe Theological Union are $433^43-92 and totalliabilities $31,640.Professor George W. Northrup, D.D., deliveredthe annual address upon the subject, "The Placeof the Incarnation in the Plan of the Universe."He reviewed with vigor and power the variousviews held by theologians concerning the incarnation, and its significance, and after expositionand criticism of them, presented his own conclusions.. In the election of officers for the ensuing year,Dr. G. W. Northrup was elected President of theUnion. John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Mc-Leish were chosen Vice Presidents, Edward Goodman was made Treasurer, T. W. Goodspeed,Secretary, and S. A.
