DIR. Hocdemaker, OF Amsterdam, says the
National Reformed Church Of Holland is just |
recovering FROM the lony sickness, VI Rational-
ism. Forty years a:.o there wcrc very few who
preached the living Christ Ill His Church. When |
their secession friends lett them, fcrtY years |
ago, talsiug with them whatever there was OF |
life left In the Church thcy had only few stu !
dents in the ministry. Now they have 100 min |
listers preaching the Gospel. They have taken |
prominent positions in all the great cities, AMI |
they preach the living Christ. As for the inau- |
ence OF Ratio.ialisn upon the clergy, they hare |
great reason to bless it. There was 4 disposi
ton to settle down quietly and be content with
Writ; but Rationalisin stirred them up and
pushed thcm forward and made it necessary to
study.
