Dudleian Lecture.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Dudleian Lecture for the current year will be given in the Fogg Lecture Room on April 9, at 8 p. m., by the Rev. Professor Arthur C. McGiffert, D.D., of the Union Theological Seminary, New York. It will be open to the public.

The subject this year is the last of the series of four subjects prescribed by the founder, Judge Paul Dudley, in 1750, namely:

"The fourth and last Lecture I would have for the maintaining, explaining, and proving the validity of the ordination of ministers or Pastors of the churches, and so their administration of the sacraments or ordinances of religion as the same hath been practiced in New England, from the first beginning of it, and so continued at this day. Not that I would any ways invalidate Episcopal Ordination as it is commonly called and practised in the Church of England; but I do esteem the method of ordination as practised in Scotland, at Geneva, and among the Dissenters in England, and in the churches in this Country, to be very safe, scriptural and valid; and that the great Head of the church, by his blessed spirit, hath owned, sanctified, and blessed them accordingly and will continue so to do to the end of the world, Amen."
