    Literary Extracts.

    ADVICE TO THEOLOGIANS.

    I cannot conclude without a word to you, our young theologians, amongst whom I have so long lived and laboured. I know your miserable distraction by the conflicts of your teachers. The cruelty with which every variety of skepticism, of diluted and corrupted faith has been thrust upon you, has brought on you intellectual stupefaction, slavish subjection to the authority of infidelity, and eradication of capacity for divine truth. Shake off your indifference, and take courage. Break the bands of blind obedience to those who, out of their own withered souls, can impart to you nothing but the science of doubt and suspicion. Be no longer mere note-takers, but real enquirers; no longer mere dreaming book-worms, but men who wrestle for truth in prayer. Return to the holy Scriptures, that fountain of truth, the waters of which your enemies have taught you to suspect and put from your lips. Drink once more with confidence. And, when you are refreshed, know of what blessings men would have robbed you.-Thierach’s history of the Christian Church.—Preface.
