THE MINISTERS' REUNION, PAPENS READ YESTERDAY, The quiet suburb of Evanston ia still restgned to the irreaistible sway of tha almest innumera- bis hout of Methodist clergy, sttracted bithet for the consideration of, aud search after, tha hidden mysteries of truth, as fuvolvod in tho Divine thoories and queatious of theology ; never beforo have ity InlLabitants witnessed the proaence of 80 wany eminont men, or listened to tho dispen- sation of wo mauy of the results of intellectual rexosrch, althongh this is by no meana the first campaign of a similar charscter which thoy havo experionced and aurvived.

After the usual prayera aud singing, the Rav, b, A, W, Jowett, U, 1., of Aurors, was in- troduced, and deliverod an sddress on “TUE HECRETS OF THZ WORKSHOP." He addressed himself chiolly to those propar- ing for the ministry, aud epoke to them from tho standpoint of twenty years' oxpericnce.

Bome other fnaucial busiuers of minor im- portance was then transacted, after which the ministers dircctod their attention to a consider- aton of “ TNE DOCTRINE OP THE WILL," 88 presonted io au ablo address by Dr. Rav- mond, who began by stating that he had noth- iug new to eay oo this hacknosad subject, but Lid remarks would pertain to ths common thoughts eutortaiord. oxpressed in common llugn:j;l!. Mind, he conmidered, was one and indivialble. All mental atates helonged to this ono immutablo entity ; and of the throe powers of mind, tho one by which we acted was the will. It was the eoul's sctivity, that codow. ment by which man was the conzciond anthor of sy act. The frecdom of the will way tho free- dom of the man. e passed Ly tho athelatic viows of Will, and sasortod Lhat what iv, 18 becauso it could not ba otherwiss. The uviver sal convictions were that man was created with & moral free will Tbis freedom was not to do as wo willed, but to will 88 wo pleased. Necossitarians aflirmed that froe- dom 18 fresdom to the act. But tho Doctor aflirmod tho power o and from the ac pluri- otent, not uaipotent power, a» allirmed by Noceseitarianiam. The distinction between se- loction and clection was involved in the preced- ing statements,—Necessitananism maintaining solection—Freedomism I maintaining election. ‘The Doctor upaeld tho latier doctrine, 1t being morslly unjust to hold & mau responsiblo for acte ~over which he haa no election. The next tact sustainiog Frecdowinm is that Necersitarian- ism is Fatalism,—that God is tho only moral ngent in the universe. Miod was the first cause, and in reply to the quos- tion, *Why does it volitionats?" ~ the ooawer was that mind itseM was the first and adequate causo. The leceasitarisn doce trine failed to account for the primary cause, and thercin Freedomism nssumed tho sdvautage. The doctrine of sclf-detormination, as advanced by Preavdent Edwards, waa logically brought to tho reductio ad absurdum, tho infinite sorien betng inadequate. Volition was direcied an the strangest motive, which motive could only be detormined by the above fact. Tue fact that man could choose where thers was au equilibriuin of motive was conclusive pronf of the ductrine advancod. and tho other fact that nuoh yolitiona continually occurred was oqually deirimental to tlo adverse doctrines.
