reaching, and permanent
1t is perfectly manifest to all mpeent observers

to come mp for and thorough settlement in the
light of this final development

cultes should examine tho solution this work affords
Those who have doubts, but who wish to study
the history Of opinions in the past and to keep pace

grevously II they neglect to make themselves ia
miar with this book. 1t contains the seeds Of the
thinkings and debatngs of the next hundred years.
The reception Of this work by the Theological
press Of the country, has been significant Equally
declining to accept his conclusion, they do IL on OPP
poste and contradictory grounds. One half Of the
Theological press endorses the major premise Of the
Argument and denics the minor. The other half en-.
dorses tho minor, and denies tho major. And they
probably both right in their positive element and
wrong in their negative, the work has received Vr-
tua Endorsement Of the most powerful kind.
