uously and consistently maintained
that as the character of the Bible. The

IL said that in setting the canon, the
problem OF the church was to determine
where II was TO be closed, and that. as
a matter of fact, it took a considerable
time to settle the canon so far as cer-
tain books are concerned; but that the
church had done well in the final re-
suit, and the churchman could not take.
and had no need to take, the liberty oil
rejecting a book of the New Testa- !
ment, as Luther did. because it did not
agree with his opinions.
