OF 80 the applause was loud and prolonged Dr.
MoGiTert was compelled TO come forward and bow
his Acknowledgements He said that the warmth OF
the greeting especially appreciated in view OF

This greeting of yours TO DR. McGfert is worthy
OF this seminary. not only as a mark OF the love

frequent applause. In part he said:
To all other difficulties of modern preaching must
be added the problems growing out Of transitional
era in philosophy and theology. Doubtless all
growth and progress are accompanied by pains and
throbs, but this is pre-emnently true with reA2ect
In our university circles the battle for the new
will win in districts. but whether the vic
tory comes soon or comes late, we must hope much
from the gradual progress OF brotherly love- and
believe that the great heresy is hatred and strife,
and that the true orthodoxy is the orthodoxy of
heart and of life.
The task OF restatcment is rendered more difficult
by reason Of the fact that every church contains
two classes-the conservative and the radical. All

that involves heat and controversy and eloquent
debate. with charge and countercharge. must be
carried through in like every congre-

The old forms, the old methods are passing away,
and God is making all things new. But for
confidence that God regns that he has time
