OLD FAITHS IN New LIGHT By Norman
Smyth, author of The Religious Feeling"
PIP 800 New York Charles Scribner's Sons
743-745, Broadway 1879
We have gone over this book twice and this
was owing, firstly to the fact that it requires
considerable thinking to take it in, and, second
", to the fact that it is deficient in perspicuity
The writer is so anxious to avoid giving offence
to the advanced thought" of the day that he
often says what he has to say in such cautious
and suppressed way that it is difficult to get the
exact thought And there is a want of clearness
in linking together the successive steps of the
argument which is not followed without close
attention. The author sets out by giving in a
general adhesion to the doctrine of evolution in
nature, with the important qualification, how
ever, that at certain stages of the process there
were probably divine interpretations, as, in the
original creation of matter, the introduction of
life into the world and the introduction of mans
rational nature This much being conceded to
the scientists, he then propounds and proceeds to
establish his main thesis, the fact of another evo-
lutionary process in the history of the world
a supernatural evolution. This he applies to
the gradual development Of religious truth under
the Old Testament economy, and to its culmina-
ton in Jesus Christ There are two kinds Of
force, two lines Of law, two orders of develop
ment two processes of eyolution,-body and
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1879-12-10

mind, nature and spirit earth and heaven. -
The volume is the work of devout and rever-
ent spirit, and however exception may be taken
by some to the authors concessions to physical
evolution, no intelligent Christian can fail to
find much to admire and approve in the book
The chapters devoted to the discussion of the life
and teachings of Christ, and his influence on the
world, constitute, apart from the general scope
and object Of the work, an exceedingly valuable
contribution to our theological literature. In
fact we have not seen this subject more profound
ly treated anywhere. The author, in brief com
pass produces portrait that carries with it an
irresistible conviction of the supernatural char
acter Of the figure delineated. He finds in the
life Of Christ the greatest of his miracles. He
shows that according to the laws of heredity no
such being could have appeared on the scene in
Jud@a, nor in the Gentle world of that period
that he was, in fact, the product, according to
natural generation, of neither Gentle nor the
Jewish civilization, but appears at once upon
the scene in striking contrast to the Greek or
Roman philosopher on the one hand and to the
strictly Jewish figure of John the Baptist on the
other. His plan of life, it is remarked, "in-
volved his death"-and in the farewell scene
with his disciples, where usually all masks would
be thrown off, " he made himself the passover Of
his people Jour italics) both the mediator and the
mediation Of the sin OF the world" His coming
was new influx of power into the world, and
it was his wonderful work to create in the Ro-
man Empire, where all was moribund, new
faith, a new hope, a new Joy. "While men
marvelled at him. and most strange things were
happening in Jerusalem, this Man possessed him
self in perfect faith, in calm, serene self-knowl-
edge even from boyhood living his wonderful
life as naturally, as spontaneously as simply, as
child in his Fathers house. . His doctrine
is never a question and weary doubt; it is an
uninterrupted affirmation. 1t is not the
Of education or habit, or ignorance it
is not the dogmatism of the scribe" HE never
seems to have mistaken his power; to have at
tempted more than he could perform; or to have
been astonished at his own success when all
men marvelled at him"-and then remark his
"selt-restraint che never performs miracle
for mere effect."
The Incarnation of this divine being when
Love had finished its perfect work, is the culmi-
nation Of the supernatural evolution. It was
the necessary outcome according to the system
of Gods universe.
We have attempted to give some idea of the
book; it is abundantly worth reading; and will
furnish food for reflection. We consider it one
of the most thoughtful and instructive volumes
that we have seen for some time; we regard it
as specially successful in its treatment of the evil
Dental value of Christ's life.

School work, at a recent meeting in New
York, said that if children could not at
tend the Sunday School and the Church
services, the former, and not the latter
should be omitted He was Of opinion
" that the services in the sanctuary, even
when the child could not fully compre-

have a more important and permanent
influence than the teaching Of the Sun
