Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review: October, 1877 Nature of which our conceptions or our language is adequate. The Divine is infinite, and therefore our finite thought cannot contain it, nor human language render it. But a crystal or a pea is infinite, as well as the universe, and the tiniest and com monest things of daily life, no less than its most stupendous facts, are to us in a sense insoluble.' Whatever imperfection, therefore, attaches to Christian dogmatism in this respect, be longs equally to every generalization of science, because to our knowledge of the objects on which that generalization is found But scientists and philosophers do not, on the ground of the imperfection referred to, imitate the folly of Principal Tulloch in relation to dogma. They draw conclusions; they construct systems they correlate all knowledges within man's reach. One of the most notable characteristics of the present age is the eager craving for exacter methods of thought. Is-it not strange, therefore, that in regard to the most important of all subjects the phiiosophic discipline and methods so greatly desired in other departments of knowledge should be contemptuously set at nought? Why should the process of systematizing, so invariably followed by the human mind in dealing with every complex subject, become unlawful and un warrantable as soon as it is applied to revealed religion? We forget, however, that Dr. Tulloch actually pleads for haze in theology. The religious thought, he says, is always and necessarily indefinite. Haze (ii you choose to use the ex pression) is of its very nature. But would not this make the imperfection greater? If the thought is cloudy and the lan guage vague, can we have any religious ideas at all? It does not help us to come nearer correct views, as a writer observes, to blur over all the lines and forms. There may be risk of error in theological system, but is'our position in any degree improved by breaking away from s.s' There are no books so full of errors as those 161n and desultory works written by men who profess to set all systems at defiance, while they have this special mischief attaching to them, that the errors in question are less easily detected and exposed on account of the vague and indefinite mode of their presen tation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, 1876, Vol. 5 Among the treasures preserved in the Library of Lane Semi nary, is the original draft of what is widely known as the AU burn declaration. More than thirty years after its prepa ration, just when the separated Presbyterian Churches were happily uniting, this interesting historical document was pre sented to the Institution by its author, the venerable baxter dickinson, D.D. It was also accompanied by valuable memo randa with respect to its authorship, and to the' circumstances which occasioned its preparation. Its contents have at various times been made public through the press, and have recently been incorporated under another name in the Presbyterian Digest. Its doctrinal quality and its important historical rela tions to the Presbyterian Church, both as separate and as united, are such as justify its further introduction to public notice in the columns of our denominational review; What will be at tempted in the present article, is a narrative of the origin of this declaration, an analysis of its contents, and a brief discussion of its doctrinal significance and value, as one among 'the inter esting memorials of our beloved Zion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review: April, 1876 Now, in regard to the second table, or the man-ward part, of the decalogue, there can be no question that it underlies and ought to control all human legislation in the various stations and relations to which it refers, insomuch that: I. Lawgivers may never rightfully enjoin or positively sanction any violation of them; 2. In all practicable ways consistent with their proper functions and prerogatives, they must enforce and promote their observance by visiting suitable penalties upon the transgressors of them. Indeed, the larger part of all civil statutes aim at the direct or indirect application and enforcement of them. And as to the common, in distinction from the statute law, it is but the unfolding and application of the principles of eternal jus tice, as embodied in the decalogue, to the progressive and ever varying conditions of mankind in civil society.

The doctrine that souls, at death, are thrown back into a dream-sleep or state of personal unconsciousness from which they are awakened only by the trump of the Archangel at the last day, when Death is swallowed up in Victory. This comes from interpreting flveeyan, in the passage, as Bellar mine, the' Romists, and Lutherans do, as meaning the human spirit of Christ, or his rational soul, the alleged quickening of which, it is argued, implies its previous dormancy or existence in an unconscious state. But the state of Christ's human soul, after death, determines the state of the souls of all his people, with this difference, that whereas his soul was awakened to consciousness very soon after his death, ours are under bonds to sleep on until the trumpet shall sound.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review: April, 1872 Soon discovered the rare mental gifts of her son Henry, who was the youngest of her four children, and applied herself to foster his talents. She stimulated his intense desire for know ledge, instructed him in the elements of secular learning, and explained to him the principles of those great scriptural doc trines which in after years he defended with such eloquence and success. Dr. Cooke often referred to the benefits which he derived from his early religious training I received my first instructions in theology, he said, on one occasion, at my mother's side. The Shorter Catechism was her text - book; the Confession of Faith was her Christian Institutes, the Bible was her final and sole standard of appeal could not yet see the grounds or reasons for all she taught me to beheve I had not opportunity, perhaps I had not then ability, to in vestigate thoroughly the foundations of our faith. I was con sequently not fully established. But I resolved, one day or other, to study out for myself, and, if possible, completely to master the evidences and proofs of Calvinistic theology, with a view to. Make it, if approved, the basis of my Christian char acter and acts through life. Of Henry Cooke's schools, school-masters, and school-boy days, some interesting accounts have been preserved. His first teacher was a Mr. Joseph Pollock, a man of limited edu cation and boundless conceit; but on the 'whole an excellent teacher, as teachers were in those days. To his credit, be it told, he recognized the ability of his pupil. Young Cooke soon attracted his attention. He was then an emaciated, deli cate looking boy, with sharp features, jet black hair, and pierc ing grey eyes. His movements were quick; his voice clear and ringing; his speech easy and fluent. The ordinary tasks of the school gave him little trouble he learned them as if by instinct. Pollock was fond of him. Pointing to young Cooke, he said one day, with an-air of dignity, to an intimate friend, ' I tell you, sir, that that lad, if spared, will rival, if not excel myself.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, Vol. 6: April, 1877 From this source is to come the power which will adjust the complications which confront us. From this standpoint, it will be well for us to look out upon the epoch which now Opens, and trace the lines of problem which stretch away from us. Let us first stand for a moment at the college of a century ago, and note the problems which educated minds then had to meet. Look at the intellectual vigor in those educated and educating councils. Genius often takes shape in art and poetry and polite culture, but the loftier forms of intellectual power are those which discern the principles and laws which affect a race, which penetrate centuries of palpitating life, and which sweep out upon the hopeful progress of mankind. The noble literature of our Revolutionary period belonged to that loftier range. The writings, addresses, speeches, and the great resultant papers of that time, contain those bold com pre hensive topics which run, like the established currents of the air, like beams and hues of light, like rocks of geology, above and through and beneath universal society. To these, with the grandest impulse, the eager instincts of the mind then sprang. I. What a marvelous sifting had gone on, for example, for more than a century before even those strong men knew well their rights, and knowing, dared maintain them. The works of' creation are clear after chaos has departed. Along the thin coast of colonies, how much of brooding chaos lay, in respect to the simplest principles of true freedom, from the settlement of Jamestown and Plymouth, until the very hour of seventy six. Vast numbers of the primitive population were in the mist, thick as an ocean fog, Light was created, but day did not dawn till revolution began. Adams put forth his solid strength. Hamilton beamed in firm and lucid exposition. Witherspoon glowed in sermon and in speech. Jefferson ar rayed his keen philosophical analysis. Washington, in his se vere and majestic wisdom, shed light. The whole energy of some of those men. And of others like them, was required to compel the common mind to discern the plain lines along which the security of their own rights lay. Security of personal rig/its was the first problem for the educated mind then. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, Vol. 11: July 1874 Prior to the excavations just referred to, scarcely a single As syrian object was known to be in existence. There was not a museum in Europe that possessed a specimen of Assyrian work manship, or anything whatever representative of a style of civil ization, the last vestige of which was supposed to have perished from the earth. Now every great museum has its Assyrian de partment and the monumental remains of Assyria have be come as familiar as those of any nation of antiquity. The life and manners of its people are exhibited in scenes faithfully por trayed by themselves. The degree of their advancement in the arts, both useful and ornamental, is shown in their structures and in articles of their handiwork. Their very language has been, to some extent, recovered and whole volumes of inscrip tions have been found which have been already, with a good measure of success, deciphered. These are leading the way to a recovery of their science, religion and history from the almost total oblivion which heretofore oppressed them. The historian and the antiquary are eagerly availing themselves of these discoveries and laboring to construct, as far as this may prove possible, a true conception of this ancient empire. And students of the Bible are busy in gathering up that which may tend to its illustration or defence. So that here again Assyria is in a new and unanticipated manner serving with Egypt. These great op pressors, which in their prosperity and power seemed to threaten the continued existence of God's earthly kingdom, are now by their monuments singularly helpful and auxiliary to that king dom. He who used the Assyrian as the rod of his anger, now. Summons him from the dust of centuries as a witness to his truth. In what we here say of the Assyrian monuments we cannot, of Course, attempt to treat of the entire subject of them relation to the Bible. The field is too broad to be explored, even super ficially, in a single article. We must, accordingly, pass by the graphic delineations upon the walls of their palaces, much as they offer that is inviting. We must pass by the religion and mythology of Assyria with the tablet describing the deluge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, 1873, Vol. 2 The present state and wants Of certain schools of philosophy tend in the same direction. It is a curious, though by no means an inexplicable circumstance, that not a few of those trained by the teaching and writings of Hamilton, especially those who have also felt the influence of Mill, are to be found, if we can catch them any where, on the borders of Berkeley's upland Of mist and sunshine. Hamilton himself always spoke of Berkeley in a more appreciative tone than most of his predecessors in the Scottish school had done. His more discerning pupils have felt that their great master has left them in a somewhat unsatisfac tory position a professing realist, he is in fact the great relativ ist, and he ends by declaring that man can know nothing of the nature of things. Those who feel that they have no comfortable standing in such a quivering quagmire, look with a fond eye towards Berkeley, who, in taking away gross matter, leaves them substantial mind. Mansel, so acute and erudite in undermining rationalism, and so feeble in building up realism, ended by com ing very 'close to Berkeley in his view of matter. Though the Scottish professor does not profess to be a believer in Berkeley, it is clear that there is no other philosophy which helps him so effectually in those perplexities he is so skilful in discovering in this mysterious world, in this curious life of ours if it does not support him on terrafirn'za, it at least lifts him above the sinking marshes into a pleasant though somewhat fogg aerial.
