In the March number, which is the third, of
the Andover Review Professor Tucker treats
OF "Evangelism;" DR.. Alexander Mckenzie
OF The Holy Lend" Professor Hipcks, of
"The Ministry OF Natural Beauty" and DR..
Stnckenberg. Of Theological Tendencies in
Germany" Added to these are editorial dis
cussions on Divorce, Second and Opinions,
Methods OF Christian Benefcence and Wen
dell Phillips. There is also characteristic es-
say by Professor Smythe, Archaeological notes
by Principal Bancroft, and half dozen book
notices. On the whole this number fully man.
tains the high standard OF the two previous
ones, and the Review thus far justifes the
hopes entertained of it by the friends OF is
projectors, and of New England's progressive
theology. And all theology is progressive, and
must be, ii it lives and moves the world For
what is theology but human thinking applied
to Divine truth, which man must apprehend
more and more clearly as he advances in his
studies of this and other things? Doubtless
there is YET much more light to break out and
shine forth from the Bible the reverent and
critical study OF which was never so general
as to-day. Heretofore men have be9n too
anxions to find texts to I'll and sustain their
pet theories of the Divine government and
procedure. Now there is felt necessity OF
snbjecting our opinions to the teachings OF
Scripture. And this new method must be ad-
hersd to until it yields adequate results.
Professor Tucker in the current number dis
cu6seS WIN MS usual ClearDeSS and CandOr the
defects OF our Evangelistic methods and shows
how they may be greatly improved aud made
more efficient. By Evangelism be means the
aggressive agencies of the Churches. One of
his points is, that too few labarers are employed
by strong city churches whose efficiency would
be greatly increased By having moro than one
man in the pastoral office. He thinks that the
Episcopal church sets good example TO the
other churches in this matter, aud attributes
the rapid growth of that church in the large
cities to this fact But others would attrbute
IL more to the simple and settled creed and
more reverent forms Of WORSHIP common in
that church. These would say that such thee
logical discussions as rife among the Con-
gregationalisis, may be ediiying to a few, bnt
are not conducive 10 the growth of the Church
They keep too many questions OPEN aud agi-
tate too much. This is unfayorable to repose
and stability. Too many people know not
what to believe or what they 40 believe. The
church is, or should be, a teaching BODY to its
members, a school in which they are to learn. q
tield in which they are to work while the day
lasts. To this end, the truths taught should
not be many, doubtful or complicated, but the
substance Of the Faith, only as embodied in the
Apostles Greed. Such theological discussions
as this Review abounds In ara doubtless p,ofit-
able for the clergy, and scholars among the
laity. They have out little interest for the
masses who cannot even understand their
drift.

In the Princeton Review for March Prof.
George P. Fisher, LII. D., argues that the
study Of Greek is Essential to complete a lib
eral culture, but that the essential uslity is
not simply the intellectual discipline to be
gained, bat the whole generic relation of an
tiguity to modern civiliz .tion." He grants
that there should be "a reform in the spirit
and method OF its teaching" ''Our College

Sumner. advocates that while We are not to do
away with the study of the classics, "the uniyer-

lines OF study" Mr. Sumner believes that il
