Logan. The younger scholars, under
radical influences. have turned away
from theology. so that It is now very
difficult in America to find men quail
fed to become professors Of theology.
The Presbyterian OF Philadelphia says
that this opinion is held by other OBJ

illogical seminaries very few students
are making a speciality Of systematic
theology. The times do not favor 1t
nor give much heed to its fine dehni-

priced nor understood. Loose thinking
Is dominant. All sorts Of opinions
prevail In and out Of the church. The
reading Of the day can hardly be called

Its profound remedy for this Is more

had once been proposed by man who
said that. while report made their
guest a doctor. 1t was sinister fact
that no living patient Of his had ever
been seen. Apparently realizing that
even in England there was some doubt
as to his medical abilities. Sir Conan
said that at least his medical expert
ence had been extremely varied and
that few doctors had seen as many
sides of the profession as himself. He
had he explained. served as surgeon
on a whaling ship. had been In South
Africa as an army doctor and In Eng
land itself had practiced both In the
country and in the London slums. He
had even arrived at the dignity OF an
Office in a London street much favored
by doctors, where he had waited for
patronage as an ophthalmic surgeon.
That the waiting was for the most part
vain and therefore a dreary business
seems to have turned him definitely to
