sUPERANNUATED LITERATI.

The death OF Buckner Payne in a Tennessee

guished scholar, Prof. Vaughn, in Cincinnati,
not long SINCE Though not dying in the poor
house, his surroundings were those of neg
lect, poverty and want. Like Payne,
Vaughn had been leading figure in the cir
Giles of literature and learning for many
years. After wearing his life out for the
good of others and going hungry for bread
in his declining years. his name fell
out of the ranks of the busy
world, and he dropped into his final
sleep, unaided and unattended, in his
poverty-stricken tenement But the an
nouncement of his death rekindled the
smouldering memories of his past honorable
life and invaluable services to the city and
community, so that his funeral was one of
ever seen. 1t ought to have been written on
the coffin-plate, why did you not give the
old man some of this attention while he
lived?' but it wasn't. What is true of this
recent case in the Tennessee alms-house, and
the other case of Vaughn, is too largely
true throughout the country. Maybe the

IT is a matter of pleasure, as we'll as relief, to

Ralph Waldo Emerson was not philosopher"
The Gazette says:

intellectual exercise. What does IL all come tot

The kindlest Judgment would perhaps, be that

dealers in verifiable logical propositions"

evidences of it in every branch of research
except theology. They have seen the evo-
luton hypothesis applied to organic life, to
cosmology, to social history. They see the
leaders in all these branches adopting the
ground of new fact and discovery and modi-
flying their opinions with advancing years.
But in theology it is not so, There is little
progress or thought outside of the apostles
creed or the thirty-nine articles, Why should
not fifty years of study, reflection and ex-
perience change the view in theology as we'll
as geology? Sir Charles Lyel adopted the
evolution hypothesis as the best explanation
of the earth's present structure in advanced
life and in the eleventh edition of his Prin-
ciples. Indeed this is the attitude of science,
and fixity of opinion marks the fogy and
fossil rather than the scholar. Why have not
Mr.. Beecher, Mr.. Swing, Mr.. Thorn

the same right of progression in theology
that marks the leaders of other sciences? 1t
is remarkable in connection with these more
or less eminent names that they are men OF
mature life, of high character and standing,
unselfsh, and usually filling the best places
in their denominations, while their detract-
ors are usually narrower theological pro-
fessors, or jealous church associates, who
can only drag themselves into notoriety by
prosecuting the eminent men who should be
their teachers and leaders in all that per-
tains to charity, largeness of mind, and the
true Christian life.
1t is contended that revelation is fixed
quantity in history, rather than fluent and
progressive, like creation itself. History
shows, rather, that revelation is progressive.
There was an Old before New Testament.
The ten commandments preceded the
eleventh. God may not have fully revealed
himself or his entire thought to man. There
are nations yet only on the threshold of
Christian life, Others have passed away and
knew not of it, and yet these also were chill
dren of God. 1t is the arrogance of past the

thought to a few, that has put young
ministers in swaddling clothes and
fixed on them those bonds which must be
worn throughout UNCONVENTIONAL life, or
otherwise lose their associates, and mayhap
their livelihood also. The result is that the
majority of theological seminary graduates
stretch the various vague and elastic creeds
to fit their ripening thought The profession
! is tempted to mental dishonesty, and instead
of ministering spirits unto needy men, they
become expounders of dogmatic theology.
Not until a liberty of Interpretation, of
revelation and theology is allowed common

metaphysics or in the sciences, can the de-
nominations expect intellectual candor in
