It deals with thesupernatural. It surpasses all other studies, as theBible excels all other books, as religion transcends thesecular concerns of man. Its aim is to ascertain, sys-temize and declare those moral and spiritual truthsrevealed in the works and words of God. It possessesa scope, content and influence, as vast and solemn asthe field of sacred inquiry. Theological studies determine the educational character of any age. A truetheology is the basis of human progress. Its topicsare sublime, its problems vastly deep, its challenge tothe thoughtful mind gravely significant, while thepurposes of such holy research are manifold, and theblessing transcendently great.To teach the theological student what to believe, isundoubtedly one of the functions of a theologicalseminary. For the most part, these schools of theological instruction are denominational, founded forthe express purpose of giving valid reasons for the denominational hope, and justification for denominational existence. Whatever else they may, or may notdo, they are bound to instruct the student in thetruths and views peculiar to the denominations whichthey represent. Largely, for this purpose, have menand women given their money to found these institutions, in order that the doctrines and customs whichdifferentiate them from other religious bodies, maybe defended and promulgated. Furthermore, thesepatrons have a right to insist, that the instructionimparted in these seminaries shall be in perfect accordwith the faith of that denomination which they represent. Less than this, would be a wanton violation ofa most sacred trust.But this is secondary to the supreme purpose oftheological instruction, which is an educated andefficient ministry. A trained ministry means vastlymore than clear conceptions of denominational peculiarities, however venerable, important and biblicalthey may be. It involves the discipline and development of the total powers of mind and heart — the unfolding of every faculty, by which we apprehend, appreciate, appropriate and adorn the truth of God. Toteach t]ie student how to think, logically, profoundly,clearly, conscientiously, comprehensively, and intensely, is the primary aim of seminary instruction.To know what to believe, is important, but to knowhow to think is indispensable to an efficient and growing ministry.The reasons for placing the emphasis on how tothink are numerous and conclusive. Among the340 UNIVERSITY BEGGEDmany considerations which justify this view of theological training may be noted :First: The nature and value of theological studies.They give nerve to the intellect and life to the heart.They invigorate and develop the intellectual powers,by giving the widest scope for their exercise and stimulating them to the loftiest degree. The power of purethought, is education. Theological studies are bestadapted to educate a rational mind. Education is adynamic, whose chief value consists, not so much, inthe information imparted as in the energy awakened.Such studies satisfy a deep yearning of our rationalnature. A well-disciplined mind, demands that itsknowledge shall be systematized, that facts and truthsbe put into right relation to each other. This legitimate and impressive requirement is necessary tomental repose and the settlement of the soul in indisputable truth. They cultivate independence of mind,which, while it duly regards the judgment and opinions of others, seeks, on all questions, reasons sufficient to justify his conclusions to his own mind.They urge him to examine the very foundations of hisfaith; they impel him, by study and reflection, toreach the profoundest conceptions possible, of all doctrine and duty. Truth is a unit ; all truths are related ;they belong to a system they stand together and support each other. The object of theological trainingis to help the student to see the doctrines of Christianfaith and duty in their absolute truth, in order thatall doubt and contradiction, and internal, incoherenceof Christian thinking may vanish away. (Libelee.)Second: The rational basis of Christianity furnishesanother proof that the chief end of theological instruction is to teach men to think. Ideal Christianfaith rests on a reasoned basis. It is probably true :True theology is not only a system but a science. Itis high time that Christianity became an applied science. It challenges the most intrepid thought. Itlives upon investigation ; it thrives upon painstakingresearch ; it demands vigor and venture of thought.The Bible is the supreme science, and the final philosophy of life. Its spirit is not that of intellectualcowardice, but of a sound mind. An open-eyed theology must have a philosophical basis. The demandsof right reason must be met. The gospel must bemade credible to an enlightened understanding. Theremust be intelligent confidence in the extraordinaryclaims of Christianity. Its credentials are exceptionaland unimpeachable. We must confirm to our ownreason and conscience the supernatural criteria of ourfaith. Now, Christianity is severely faithful to thestrictly self-evident truths of reason and conscience.It puts puzzling problems before us to rouse our sluggish thought. It courts investigation and cultivates interrogation. God educates the church by theSocratic method — He forces us to face facts andquestions. But inquiry ^is always better than indifference. Christianity does not ask, neither is it honoredby a credulous acceptance, of its august claims. Itdeals with" Truths that wakeTo perish never."Its supreme truths are unique and not communicated elsewhere to man. Its columnar truths form apavilion of glory in which God dwells. It corrects,conserves and completes all truths wherever found.It will yet conquer all error and master every half-truth. Our great need is not ritualism, worship, earnestness or fervor, but high thinking, and the intelligent application of these colossal Christian truths tothe crying needs of modern life in order to secure theregeneration of the race. The sources of divineknowledge stand open night and day. They are neverclosed. But the imperious demand is for a trainedministry, strong and heroic in thought, who will givepurpose, direction, and enthusiasm to thinking amongthe* people, that by a glad self -constraint they mayenter the beautiful temple of saving truth.A third fact which emphasizes this view of thesupreme function of seminary instruction, is found inthe relation of ^creeds to Christian truth. The Bibleis God's message to man. The creed is man's understanding and interpretation of the Bible : a humanstatement subject to improvement and modificationwith increasing knowledge. The authority of theBible is absolute and divine ; the authority of thecreed is ecclesiastical and relative. The creed of yesterday needs reconstruction in the clearer light oftoday. To grow always means to outgrow. Christiantruth is perfect and complete ; the creed is partialand incomplete. Creeds are simply segments andfragments of moral and spiritual truth. The relationof Christianity to creed is that of the whole to thepart. It is the glory of Christian theology that it hasno finality. No man, no sect, no age has compassedthe mind of the Master, in whom are hidden all thetreasures of wisdom and knowledge. Vast domainsof truth remain untouched and unexplored. A littleof the human intellect is like a lucifer match in adark room, and a great deal of it is not more than agas jet in a universe. In theology, as in philosophy,the best knowledge is often very faulty. Many of themodern creeds, like Hamlet are simply :" Sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought.'*It is worse than useless to attempt to suckle mankind on wornout creeds. The creeds of the greatUNIVERSITY REGGRD 341church councils have been often full of blazing mistakes and colossal blunders. Their decrees have frequently been repugnant to reason, violently antagonistic to the instincts of the heart and utterly inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus. Over and over againthe church as the teacher of Christian truth has beenwrong. The persistent effort of the creed-maker tocompress the revelation of God on the back of anenvelope, as it ought to be, has been a dismal failure.Christianity is not a creed but a life embodyinggrowth, spontaneity, order and sweet reasonableness.New doctrines, new duties, new motives and new hopesenrich the life of the honest truth seeker." Our little systems have their day,They have their day and cease to be,They are but broken lights of Thee,And Thou, O God, art more than they."The character of God is an endless study. Ourknowledge of Christian truth is progressive. Allcreeds and conceptions are to be tested by the infallible word of God, Every sect and denomination has itscreeds. They all profess allegiance to, and consistencywith, the Bible. The fact that they differ, are antagonistic to, and irreconcilable not only with each otherbut with the Bible itself, enhances the value of clearand progressive thought in the interpretation of theWord of God. If all creeds and confessions are to beharmonized on the basis of an open Bible and loyaltyto the Christ, and the unity of Christendom secured,we must have a ministry so thoroughly disciplined tohigh thinking, and so loyal to all truth, that it will saywith Samuel Longfellow :" Anew, O God, we pledge ourselves to Thee,To follow where Thy truth shall lead :Afloat upon its boundless sea,Who sails with God, is safe indeed."When all ministers distinguish between dogma andtruth, and conscientiously seek a theology as broad asGod's truth and love, and as narrow as divine justice,then we shall behold the divine harmony of all discordant and human creeds. In answering the Master's prayer, that all disciples maybe one in order thatthe world may know that God sent him, and the apostle's supplication for the unity of the spirit, a truth-seeking and truth-loving ministry has much to do.This leads me to remark, in the fourth place, thatanother justification of this view of theological instruction is found in the mission of the minister, who, likehis Master, is in the world to bear witness to thetruth. Truth is the object of all study and investigation. In the development and defense of truth thereare three stages : discovery, possession, and assimila tion. Now, truth may be professed, but it cannot bepossessed without thought. Thought is the life-bloodof the soul. The Christian ministry furnishes prolificstimulus to intellectual activity. Christianity seeks tore-create man as a thinker. The truest notion of manhood is man-thinking ; not the victim of society orcustom ; not the parrot of other men's thought, butthinking for himself, with all his moral powers, conscience, will, fancy, emotion, hope and experience, thewhole of him, so that clear speech will be the echo ofhis thought and outward deed the visible garment ofhis inner life. No man and no minister can hold hisown when he ceases to think. The minister whoputs his thinking out, like his laundry, to be done forhim, is already dead in mental trespass and intellectualsin, and need not worry about the "ministerial deadline," for he has already passed that milestone whichcommemorates the decay of ministerial power. Everyman's theology is a growth. It must be studied, likeevery other science, with the strenuous application ofevery faculty, and with boundless enthusiasm, in thepursuit of truth. Its priceless treasures must beappropriated by memory, classified by judgment andpondered by clear and earnest thought. Every minister must grapple anew with the great mystery of godliness and make it alive and fruitful for his own intellectual and spiritual benefit. He must establish forhimself the relation between right and reason and aright heart. A life that is true sees the truth withgrowing clearness. Conviction is a matter of judgment as well as emotion. As Professor Caird says :" That which enters the heart must first be discernedby the intelligence to be true." A man must preachthrough the fires of his own feeling, and only in thewhite heat of a glowing passion for an ethical goalhave we the clearest visions of eternal fact. TheChristian minister thinks with both head and heart.Cowardly thinking cheapens life ; but inward courage,heroic daring for religious reality, and the shiningface of truth, ennoble manhood. This is a thinkingage. An unparalleled, intellectual awakening confronts us ; hence the demand for a rational theologyas a basis for the spiritual conversion of the race. Aninterpretation of Christian truth which unites suppleness of mind with persistency of grip, tenacity andpliancy of intellect, with firm adherence to eternaltruth. The modern minister must think if he wouldshare and impart the freedom of the truth." Who learns to thinkExcept by thinking ? What a man,With shaping thoughts and hand, may for himself,No God will for him. Human wit is slow,342 UNIVERSITY RECORDStumbling nine times for one firm footing gained,But still made strong by striving, and sharp-eyedTo find the light thro' darkness and distressBy time and toil and reason's happy guess."(.Browning.)Fifth: That the chief function of the seminary isto teach men how to think becomes still more apparent, when we remember the irrepressible yearning for avital ministry. Every utterance of the ideal ministerwill have the ring of authority and the energy ofmoral impact. He must have an intelligent apprehension and a genuine conviction of what he avows.John Morley declares that " intrinsic conviction is themainstay of human advancement." Christ, the preacher's great exemplar, had not only spiritual but intellectual certitude. Deep conviction is a fount of satisfaction and a well-spring of delight. Emerson says :" The true preacher can always be known by this thathe deals out to the people his life — life passed throughthe fire of thought." Deep feeling and strong thought— "thoughts that breathe and words that burn " makean ideal preacher. Mind is the great factor with theminister. Mentally he is a coworker with God, holding truth in common with him. He seeks to awakenand strengthen in men, thoughts, which must determine their choice and control their lives. Contactwith reality, harmony with ethical verity, whether inthe work of self -discipline, or in that of persuadingothers, are simply other names for cooperation withGod. Antaeus, in his struggles with his enemies,regained his strength every time he touched theground. The preacher obtains his strength from contact with reality, from harmony with ethical verity,that is from cooperation with God. No man can affordto rest in his thinking until it strikes down to therock of reality. The fierce light of reality beats everywhere. Alas, that so few seem able to endure itsintense heat. The minister, of all men, must feel himself at home, in a world of moral and spiritual realities. Martineau says : " Truth only subsists for him,who has discovered it freshly for himself, and it isrealized only so far as it is apprehended." Every manmay see moral truths and spiritual facts, " if he willbe faithful in the use of the four telescopes of intuition, science, history, and life." By observation,experiment, and verification every minister may maketrue to himself the facts, truths, and laws of God'sworld. It is this religious certainty, which makesministerial responsibility a glorious privilege. Themeasure of peace, the index of power and the sign ofgrowth is what the minister has verified and madetrue to himself. This alone will carry the servantof God with unflinching serenity through all the crises of this life. This is the only anchor whoseflukes will never snap in life's stormiest and most tempestuous sea.This angel of certitude travels over three scientificroads, first, by the plain, hard, macadamized road ofexperiment, observation, and interpretation; second,by the higher level of accurate and painstaking reason, and lastly, by the ancient route of intuition bywhich we see truth as self-evident, necessary, and universal. (Clifford.)Every minister should constantly seek to makeevery inch of ground beneath his feet immovablysecure, and hurry on to lodge himself in the error-proof and solidly built edifice of irrefutable truth.Light-hearted neutrality concerning life's momentousproblems is both disastrous and cowardly. We needto clinch and prove every truth. Certainty concerning moral and spiritual truth, is won by strenuous battle with error and half-truths. It means downrightattack with the foes of faith. The ministry of ourday is suffering seriously with the blight of cowardice,mental dishonesty and guilty silence : it is the slaveof fashion, the victim of unreality, and vastly wantingin that intrepidity /and fine courage which enables oneto " see life steadily and to see it whole." This factexplains why the minds of so many ministers petrifyby middle age, and become incapable of new impressions, and grander conceptions. The constant struggle for religious reality, gives courage, freshness andpower to preaching, transforms argument into appeal,converts a chain of reasoning into chain-lightning,and contributes immeasurably to the solution of theproblem of modern skepticism.The bitter cry of mental unrest and deepening sadness of men, is everywhere heard. Men are treadingthe weary flats of knownothingism, where no sunshineillumines their path, and no tint of beauty gladdenstheir eyes. The atmosphere of the modern world iselectric with doubt, much of which is due to mentalcowardice.' " Self-tormented, beyond reach of doubtBy some cold word that puts all yearning out."The desire to know God has been quenched ; andthe cry of " not proven " is often heard, because menhave lacked the mental and moral courage to facedifficulty and grapple with problems, till truth isfound, and conviction justified. Hold on ! the yearshave much to tell of which the days know nothing."The fierce scorn and bitter gibe of the skeptic,compel us to weigh our phrases, recast our opinions,fling aside our mechanical unrealities, and betake ourselves with cleansed sight and holier resolve to Him,UNIVERSITY RECORD 343who is himself the life of our inmost being, and whois the truth." Men must feel that they stand on firm,unquivering ground. They demand the granite rockof God's eternal truth underneath their feet. Untilhumanity looks into the bold, bright-eyed and hopeful angel of certitude, they will cease not to quiverand to quail. The mind demands mathematicaldemonstration, or its equivalent. Demosthenes usedto say that every speech should begin with an incontrovertible proposition. Christ is the everlasting,Yea. He is the truth, the answer to all doubt, thefoundation of all faith. He has fixed forever thecrowning conceptions of God, truth and duty. Wemust ask and answer all questions in his name.It matters not whether your theology be styled oldor new, agreeable or disagreeable, the supreme question being — Is it real — Is it true ? Is it vital, practical, transforming? Better by far, the most dreadfultruth, than the sweetest lie. A whole world of goldendreams for one hour, or one handful, of genuine reality. We must teach them that it is better to go toheaven through the storms which God shall sendthan glide down to hell in a quiet passage or a deadcalm. We must be able to point them to a true light ;a polar point ; a fixed and shining star ; an immovablefoundation ; a changeless base ; a triumphant Christianity ; an unconquerable Christ.To teach these truths, facts, and ideas we mustknow them, and we shall never know them in thehighest way until we think them out.From my point of view, these considerations comehome with pertinent and reduplicating power to thestudent for the Baptist ministry : First, because ofthe exceptional value of our peculiar denominationalviews. The doctrines and customs which differentiate us from other religious bodies, are peculiar andunique. They cannot be classified with those whichseparate pedo-baptist denominations from one another. Our differences are better, nobler, truer.Scripturally, ecclesiastically, historically and dogmatically we stand apart from all other religious organizations whether protestant or papal. To vindicate our peculiar and preeminent place, to defendour distinguishing doctrines, to enforce our 'divineduties and to outline our God-given mission not onlyto the wicked but to the Christian world, requires aministry possessed of catholic intelligence, heroiccourage, sublime faith and divine wisdom — elementsof efficiency found only in men trained to think.Second^ because of our relation to many perplexingproblems which demand immediate, rational, andscriptural solution. There are grave questions ofhistory, exposition, ecclesiasticism, education, dogma, and liberty, the full answers to which are in the handsof our own true-honored and God-honored denomination.There are imminent and important battles to befought in this country and throughout the Christianworld, that can only be fought to a finish, by a denomi-tion whose genius is consonant with that of this republic : which has not, and never did have, eitherecclesiastic or historical relation with the Church ofRome, and whose one appeal to mankind is unflinching loyalty to open Bible and unquestioning obedienceto the precept and example of Jesus Christ.Carlyle says : " The devil fears nothing so much as athinking man." By thinking God's thoughts afterhim, by honestly, fearlessly and intelligently interpreting his truth to the hearts of men, the Christianminister is exalted to the throne of supreme dignityknown to the race in time, and will be rewarded withsupernal honor in the world to come. Great passionsalways move in the atmosphere of cost and suffering." Greath truths are dearly bought. The common truth,Such as men give and take from day to day,Comes in the common walks of easy life,Blown by the careless wind across our way.Great truths are dearly won, not found by chance,Not wafted on the breath of summer dream,But grasped in the great struggle of the soul,Hard buffeting with adverse wind and stream.Not in the general mart, 'mid corn and wine,Not in the merchandise of golden gems,Not in the world's gay halls of midnight mirth,Nor amid the blaze of regal diadems,But, in the days of conflict, fear and grief,When the strong hand of God, put forth in might,Ploughs up the subsoil of the stagnant heart,And brings the imprisoned truth seed to the light."Reports from the Botanical Club.Current Literature on Fermentation.Recent researches in chemistry have given muchnew evidence upon the biological significance of theyeasts. It has long been claimed that there is no linebetween the organic and inorganic ferments, thoughthis claim has not been given credence by those biologists with but a fair degree of conversance with thesubject.In 1895 Fischer and Lindler attempted to isolatethe ferment from the yeast cells, but failed. Howeverthey closed their experiments with the conviction thatthe ferment is not necessarily within the yeast cellswhen the alcoholic fermentation occurs.In 1897 Buchner published two papers in which heannounced that he had succeeded in removing a ferment from the yeast cells. By means of this fermenthe afterwards obtained alcoholic fermentation. It344 UNIVERSITY RECORDwas found that this substance removed would fermentall of the substances fermented by living yeast cells.But in this isolated state the substance does not longretain its power as a ferment. It seems that the living cell must be present to replenish constantly theferment substance. Some critics have claimed thatthis ferment obtained by Buchner was the protoplasmexpressed from yeast cells. In order to disprovethese claims Buchner used the ferment in connectionwith various antiseptics such as chloroform and solutions of arsenic. But with the use of these, fermentation took place as before. He concludes then thatthe process of fermentation does not require the presence of living yeast cells, but may be caused by thezymose or enzyme expressed from them. This notionis held by Miguel and others. Future researches onthis question will be watched with interest, since theywill doubtless have a definite bearing upon our presentrigid notions of the boundaries of life.Otis W.
