unite any two terms of this in the same thought there is his whole difficulty all discussion concerning the nature of the son we suggest that the two terms and spirit are not only capable of union but that the term father covers the whole ground of both practically and of what consequence is it then how a of is if its terms are the religious mind is not compelled to find its satisfaction in the of mr no x mr and hu any more than in that speculation the which is the supposed ground and explanation of the other mr holds the idea but objects to any attempt to and explain it next to believing a thing which cannot be proved is that more unfortunate ten to believe a thing because it cannot be proved when we speak of proving a thing we do not mean that logical processes can every object worthy of our faith the whole man must advance to the proof of a spiritual problem and he must test it by his of thought and feeling then faith in a thing becomes a rational of reason but it must not contradict scientific laws it may pass beyond them and out of their province but still it cannot be at with them if it them no individual sentiment can make it worthy of belief mr is at with scientific laws inasmuch as it the two modes or phases father and spirit therefore it is an and not a legitimate object of belief this leads us to say a word or two concerning that which mr with aversion how could he do otherwise with his individuality will he he he must reject it until a fresh shake of the throws his powers and sentiments into another combination but in the meantime it may be possible to convince all those who with mr that none of those christian graces which are claimed as results of a scheme with or without a a too sweeping is involved in the statement that under the scheme of virtue will be the virtue of and the mind s soaring will be that of contemplation not of prayer we can imagine that to have been with the of a volume or two of essays and poems hanging about the writer s sense if a man is by nature his prayer will be whether he be a or an or a moderate what an there is to fix such characteristics as appear objectionable to any one or are not in ha with one upon this or that creed but if a man be a he win display the virtue of and all the articles cannot make him more and dependent when mr proceeds to add that in the school of all virtue will be practised under a sense of de and his and that prayer itself w gradually cease since it is the natural fruit only of a faith which us by a living tie god � we are on the point of growing indignant and filling the rest of this review with notes of amazement whom did mr have in his eye to withal a whole we hasten to a devout mind of a consideration which must be to it no living tie with god why is very little else the merciful suggesting presence of god in the intellect and soul of his children is the central thought from which the whole action and of the proceeds the consciousness of that great fact has slowly made him what he is and affection thought and will are meekly to faith in that glorious presence � no not to the but to the presence can virtues grow stern and can prayer cease in the heart of any child who lives and thinks walks the streets and his business with an absorbing sense of the and the minute of the infinite father pray god that mr may become acquainted with the heart of some another is contained in the following paragraph it may be said that this school make much on the contrary of inspiration but they make too much of it k all is inspired nothing is inspired and that presence of g k is nothing to me which i share with the he has here a rare with a scientific is it really in the of god that a devout cannot be there is much among the of the east there has been some in germany a few men both there and in this country may have been betrayed from the very excess of a united to a poetic temperament without analysis into the of this doctrine but even to them the presence of god is something more personal practical and than it is to a given a and indeed gk d presence will not be very and impressive given a holy soul and the doctrine is robbed of its horrors but we venture to affirm that a legitimate in alliance with keen eyed and science is fast what little exists upon the subject of the of god k mr would successfully oppose the oriental of he must become a and believe in inspiration mr or and mb march we are therefore in full harmony both by theory and temperament with that fine passage on the page of his lecture where mr speaks of the fellowship of the holy spirit the depths of and the added grace or power which secret prayer gives to the justice and discretion of the it is a fine strain and the direction of mr influence and again what wisdom there is though accidentally overlooked here and there by the in this passage i have i trust learned the wisdom of being slow in my experience has taught me that in this too discretion is the better part of and that it is more as well as modest to explain what we deem to be the truth than to display
