The DISPLACEMENT of Theology comes
from Magazine writer's who really feel very
little interest in the matter, and who find it
an easy way to dispose of large subject
which they have not considered and do not
propose to consider; and from a non-robuss
class of Christian thinkers, who are governed
rather by sentiment than by logic. There
is often malice in the superciliouS illusions
to doqmas, which betrsys dislike of all re-
Igious feeling whatever. 1t will generally
be found that those who speak with the great
est condemnation of creeds and dogmas
would administer religion in its most diluted
form. Of course all this is fortified by Civ,
ing to this way of looking at things some
plausible name representing what is admitted
on al hands to be principle or a sentiment
that nOae will gainsay. The word selected
to convey this idea in the present instance
is b" Charity" and it is meant by this
that very decided views and opinions in
vOlve the absence of charity, and char
acterise only narrOw-minded and unhb-
eralised theological BourbOnS. But The.
ology is a science just as much as PsychOl-
ogy, and we cannot in either get rid of the
truth, or get at the truth, by refusing to
think or trying to make up some eclectic
scheme that will offend nobody. The object
Of TheOlogyis to get at the Truth as revealed
IN the Holy Scriptures; to do this implies
sOrk-of the head and the sOul,-and it is
,nly a lazy indiferentiam which snsers at
hose things which it does not comprehend in
