Sage. bear witness to the importance of
specialized learning as over against prac-
tiCc.
ut Is strange that thi.. important truth
has been so neglected among us in the
sphere of theology There have been few
notable and no princely gifts on behalf of
the higher theological learning; and fewer
than elsewhere in our Church. Nor Is
there one among all our semlnares that
attempts deliberately and on any ade-
quate scale TO produce -.chers and
scholars.
LESSON IN CATHOLIC CHURCH
I'VE ought to take n lesson from the
Church of Rome no less than from the
Church of England. 1t is probably true
that the average Roman priest Is even less
of scholar and thinker than the average
priest with us; but he does not need to
be other and more than he Is, BY n
practical training greatly more protracted
and moro detailed than anything we can
boast, he is schooed and drilled to the
highest efficiency as n captain in the
ranks. The field officers in that religious
body, the men who are to be its specialists
as preachers, as organizers and as edu-
Gators, are prepared In very different
schools, and are trained by a singularIy
laborious, wise and eXacting course for
the posts of leadership for which their
native gifts fit them. In all this we are
centuries behind the Church of Rome
And II there Is anything in the cry that
alarms us now and again, that the
Church of Rome is threatening to capture
the first place in influence in our land,
1t is chiefly due to the admirable skill
and wisdom which she shows in picking
and preparing men for leadership in her
ministry. Without being alarmists, we
might we'll borrow leaf from this book.
"The present seems singularly apt
moment to launch such an undertaking
as ours. For the world situation demands
1t quite as much as the local situation.
The few scholars whom we could boast
of in our ministry have, in the past, for
the most part. sought their higher learn
ing abroad-in England or in Germany.
And the great war Is bringing about a
marked change In this respect, by which
theology will be greatly affected. There
is no question that German scholarship
has been easily predominant In the
learned circles of America for many

years. II Will be less 90 IN the future
Rightly or wrongly, ell things made IN
Germany will be subjected to q more
exacting scrutiny. The latest word of
the professor at Leipzig or Berlin will
carry less weight. II is n curious fact
that America has produced few, II any,
theological thinkers or scholars of In
ternatlonal eminence. Present conditions
will surely be a stimulus to American
independence In learning of every sort,
and not least in theology.
1T seems clear, too. that the productive
ness OF England and France and Germany
in higher learning will he gravely affected
by the war. The best of their youth
