The TheoloRiau.

Professor Scott of the Congregational
Theological seminary, Chicago. said re-
Gently: "One result of religious uncer-
tainty Is the disappearance OF the theo.
logan. The younger scholars. under
radical influences. have turned AWAY
from theology, so that Ii is now very
difhcult In America to find men Quail
ned to become professors of theology"
Inc presbyterian OF Philadelphia saws
that this opinion is held by other oh
servers. and continues that lin our the.
illogical seminaries very few students
are making speciality OF systematic
theology. The times do not favor n
nor give much heed to its fine defini-
lions or distinctions. Doctrine is not
priced nor understood. Loose thinking
IL dominant. All sorts of opinions
prevail in and out of the church. Tho
reading or the day can hardly be called
theoiogic. even I'm ministerial circles -

The Best Sermon.

DR.. Truman j. Backus. president of
Packer institute, Brooklyn. recently
said in public address that the best
sermon he had ever heard was preach
ed to him by an old colored man, the
former body servant OF Governor Bull
OF South Carolina.
DIR. Backus was n visitor 10 Charles
ton, and during n drive about the city
with the Confederate soldier who fired
the first shot ut Fort Sumter he met
this aged negro. The Confederate
asked him how he was getting on.
"Massa," said the old man. I'm lust
making the best out OF the worst"
A famous English bishop once said
that the best sermon on Christianity
he had ever heard was contained in a
short sentence. Some one asked an old
lady what she understood by "the love
of God"
THE love OF God" she said "is the
art OF loving those whom we don't
like"
An English writer Of an early day,
commenting on dead divine whose
powerful sermons had helped men TO
holy living and dying, said eplgram-
matically:
His death was his last sermon"
