The growth dur- ing the crusading period was a mili- tary one and the powerful agent. Prof. Hulbert traced the spread of the territory of the church down to 1¢ present era and his paper was ina sense brief chronicle ofthe expansion of te geography. ‘The next paper was entitled “The tists of the Sixteenth Century,” by Dr. H. 8. Bur- of Portland, Me., who said that the origin of the movement of the Anabaptiste dated back to 1520, which time it began in Switzerland. It was a child of the reformation, and first. at- tracted attention when the reform movement in Switzerland sprang into existence. CHURCH BISTORY IX THE COLLEGES.
