Dr. James Freeman Clark gave one of his characteristic addresses last evening before the Divinity students. His subject was: "The Evotution of the Christian Minister." He chose this subject, he said, wishing to be in fashion. The old word was "development." Both words mean growth. He then gave a very interesting and practical discussion, illustrated largely from his own experience, of the growth of the minister in the performance of his clerical duties.
Dr. Clark graduated at this school in 1832, and in the next year went to Kentucky, more than a week's journey from Boston. In this almost frontier state he spent seven years, very profitably, he said, since they taught him humanity.
