jonathan Edwards.
Discussion of His Character and Work
Reopened.

For at least a generation the
rame of Jonathan Edwards has
been seldom heard, even in theology
cal arguments. The two hundredth
anniversary Of his birth has occasion
ed a reopening of the discussion Of
his character and work which was
common some fifty years ago. The
spirit of the discussion is, however,
far mellower and less acrimonious
than it was in those days.
The amazing influence Of Edwards
upon the thought of his time was due,
first, TO the character Of the man, and,
second, to the mbending logic of hi
mind, which appealed with peculiar
force to a thoughtful and introspee-
tive people with strong reasoning
powers. The flaw in his theology lay
IN its artifciality. He was strictly
logical, starting from the premise of
total depravity, but his premise was
contrary to nature. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, whose intellect and genial
spirit were alike opposed to the Ed
wards system Of theology, summed
It up most completely in his kindly
allegory Of 1.-The One-Hoss Shay" III
which, it will be remembered. he shot
this pointed shaft at the Edwards
system, then about hundred years
Old:
Little Of all value here
Wakes On the morn Of its hundredth year
without both feeling and looking queer.
In fact, there's nothing that keeps its youth,
So Tar as know. but a tree and Truth.
Edwards was mystic, but a logical
mystic; and clergymen vino followed
hun, possessing his logic without the
intuitive and eliminating spirit
when was his, made of theology q
hard, forbidding science. while those
who inherited the mysticism without
the logic, IN due time became the NOV
ers in a schismahe departure from
the old church, resulting first in Uni.
tarianism and then in Transcenden.
talism. But the conscientiousness of
thought, the intensity of purpose, the
devotion 10 truth as far as IL coulC
be ascertained, was the same in al
these different minds; and il is TN,

has made the name of Edwards on,

New England's Keynote.

The platform seems to be typical OF
the party In the East. Il is direct in all
it says. containing none Of the language
of the politician which is susceptible Of
half a dozen meanings. The principal
planks are as follows:
''On national issues the Rhode Island
Republicans stand on the platform OF
the national Republican party. which Las
fought and won 50 many battles for the
rights OF men. giving emancipation from
slavery IN America, Cuba and the Philip
pines, protecting the labor of the toiler
BY Just laws. securing constitutional
rights 10 the disenfranchlsed. establish
ing a gold standard as the basis OF tho
reward of labor. making wise and peacs-
full arbitration a means OF ending de-
structive labor wars, and adjusting
proper relations between capital and
labor, and restricting immigration to
those nations and people who shall add
to our productive wealth as. well az
national growth.
The party is opposed TO the immense
trusts Of the country, so far as they
Initiate values beyond their normal con-
dition. destroy competition and build up
barons OF wealth on the earnings Of the
common people, and 1t commends he
courage of President Roosevelt and MS
advisers IN bringing the operations OF
great trusts into publicity and their IL
legal proceedings to the bar Of justice"
