In his opening address the President Mid tbe Church was the best medium for guiding opinion on all burning que»tiom.- Referring to flecularistic opinions, lie said he considered the time had arrived -when scientific criticism of the Bible should be replied to by clerics of rarious denominations, and no longer be treated with apathy and indifference. la another direction there was great scope for uieful work, and he urged Christians to endeavor to bring about a more equal distribution of wealth. In England there were thousands of artizans sinking to the lowest degradation, frhilßt others were enjoying most extravagant prosperity. Mr Balfour, the Irish Secretary, m the course of the day's proceedings, read a remarkable paper defending Christianity against Positivism.
