rEAcbERs' TRAINING CLASS
.Fredericksbure. Va. Jan. q.


fredericksburg, Va. Jan. 2S.
To The Free Lance:
The great Bishop Of Durham, Brooke
foss Westcott, tells us that 'in theo.
logy and philosophy we insensibly leave
the position of cur fathers, and rarely
examine the origin and primary import
OF the doctrines which we have inheri-
ted or abjored. Words and formulas
survive as silent witnesses or accusers,
but we do not interrogate or heed
them"
Prompted by this thought, we would
suggest that in our historical study of
the Bible, before the study of individ.
ual characters making the component
whole, the Bible should be read through
from cover TO cover as one book.
In this way, not only would we fa-
miliarize ourselves with the beginnings
of things, ''the beginnings Of. things
are always the most difficult and the
most interesting" but We would see
the gradual unfolding or development
Of mantle evolution of man in my
sense of the word-not as the scientist
sees it. Mans creation and primitive
state, his awakening 20 agriculture, to
trade, to the dominance OF right over
might, to citizenship, to science, ia
higher forms of civilization in art and
literature. The coming Of the gospel,
the bloody establishment of the father
hood of God and the brotherhood OF
man. The errors of the the church,
every age bringing us in religious
thought some problem to be worked out,
the feeling after the clearer light, the
re-establishment Of the eternal truth of
the law of the spiritual over the law Of
the material world The bud and tender
growth Of human sympathy in the es-
tablishiEg of philanthropic Institutions
for suffering humanity and the general
uplift of the fellow-being.
1--WE might then compare the natural
view of our destiny in Plato and Ars-
totle with its fulhllment in the gospel.
We might be taught by them to
value the privileges of divine law,
and definite covenant, when they tell
US, in the language of doubt and de-
pendence, that there is something in
tiniteiy greater for which our mind still
longs at the moment of its noblest tri-
umphs; that the wants which modern
scepticism would deny are real and en-
during; that the doctrines which natur-
al religion has assumed are not the
proper heritage of thought; that the
browning mystery of the Incarnation is
an idea as true to reason as il is wei
come to the heart.
