Excerpt from The Presbyterian Review: April, 1880 In computing dates, under this system of rules or any other, we need carefully to guard against certain very com mon vicious processes. For example, it is an incorrect mode of reaching results, to take the numbers given in any Biblical list of monarchs, and simply add them together. This mode of operation takes no account of the broken years at the changes of reigns. It takes no account of possible interregna. It takes no account of instances in which two kings reign together as associates, so that the years assigned to one overlap those assigned to another. Moreover, since some of these items can only be obtained by comparing the dates themselves, we cannot use the items to correct any results we may have obtained by adding the dates. Still further, since any conclusions thus reached are positive mistakes, and not mere inaccuracies, we are precluded from correcting them by making averages, or computing mean results. All processes of this kind are utterly and hopelessly vicious. If such processes have some times reached correct results, it has been by accident.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian Review: October, 1880 I am one who believes that, at present, there is no evidence whatever for saying that mankind sprang originally from any more than a single pair; I must say, that I cannot see any good ground whatever, or even any tenable sort of evidence, for be lieving that there is more than one species of man.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian Review: April, 1881 There are others who maintain that the Scriptures have been certainly inspired so far forth as to constitute them in all their parts, and, as a whole, an infallible and divinely author itative rule of faith and practice, and yet hold that, while the thoughts of the sacred writers concerning doctrine and duty were inspired and errorless, their language was of purely human suggestion, and more or less accurate. The question as to whether the elements of Scripture relating to the course of nature and to the events of history are without error, will be considered below; it is sufficient to say under the present head, that it is self - evident that, just as far as the thoughts of Scripture, relating to any element or topic whatsoever, are inspired, the words in which those thoughts are expressed must be inspired also. 'every element of Scripture, whether doctrine or history, of which God has guaranteed the infalli bility, must be infallible in its verbal expression. No matter how in other respects generated, the Scriptures are a'product of human thought, and every process of human thought in volves language. The slightest consideration will show that words are as essential to intellectual processes as they are to mutual intercourse. Thoughts are wedded to words as necessarily as soul to body. Without it the mysteries un veiled before the eyes of the seer would be confused shadows with it they are made clear lessons for human life.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian Review: July, 1880 Yet this is precisely what the Bible professes to do: it is, in a word, the Book of the Future of Humanity. With refer ence to the past, it may be described as the condensed and the sublime biography of mankind, even from the beginning of time: a complete record of the origin, experiences, devel opments, and career of the human race. With reference to the present, it is the one authoritative law and guide for all men, furnishing the regulative principles which should control all human activities, and breathing forth a sp1rit which - were it everywhere admitted - would transform man into an angel, and change our world into a paradise of holiness and of bliss. Yet this Book concerns itself no less closely or solemnly with the things which shall be hereafter. A singular ele ment of prophecy flows like a silver stream throughout its vast expanse: now disclosing simply the future destinies ofan individ ual, acity oranation: nowbringinginto view the onv'vardproces sion of great principles or tendencies or dispensations: now re vealing in awful form and coloring even the end of earthly things, the scenes and issues of the final consummation. In this re spect, as well as in so many others, the Bible is a book without an equal or a parallel. Neither the ancient dream of an At lantis, nor the ideal Republic of Plato, nor the Utopia of Thomas More, nor any other fancy or anticipation in litera ture, can be compared for a moment'in clearness, in breadth, in splendor, with its predictions concerning the future of man and of the world. Whether truthfully or falsely, it undertakes to tell us not merely whither our humanity is to move during the successive generations and ages before it on earth, but also what are to be the laws and inspirations which shall con trol that broad development, and the grand result in which our race will reach its most consummate flowerf The whole course of mankind is herein most clearly described the end and fruition of that course are most elaborately re vealed.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly Review, 1853, Vol. 1 It has been a habit of our ecclesiastical Opponents, to profess a good degree of confidence in our brethren, who happened to be their neighbours. Sometimes these commendations, if there were any hope of proselyting, have reached even flattery; but they have been balanced by a wise shake of the head, and a lamentation over some distant portion of our church, where heresy or disorder was represented as rampant. You are a ve good Calvinistic Presbyterian, but away of in some part of ew York, Ohio, Tennessee, or somewhere else, your bre thren are terrible heretics. These wailings over unsoundness in some terra incognita of our body, have had also a faint echo, from a few aged and easily alarmed theologians of New Engand.

Silence and speech at the same time, and in regard to the same subject, cannot both be right. That is no pendulum which swings only on one side. Surely there must be some fixed principle pertaining to the subject which ought to be ascertained, otherwise the Christian pulpit is destitute Of all dignity, exposed by turns to attery or contempt.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, 1890, Vol. 1 Secondly, by the permissive decree, the preterition Of some sinners and thereby their foreordination to everlasting death is shown to be rational as well as Scriptural, because God, while decreeing the destiny Of the non-elect, is not the author Of his sin or Of his perdi tion. Preterition is a branch Of the permissive decree, and stands or falls with it. Whoever would strike the doctrine of preterition from the Standards, to be consistent must strike out the general doctrine that sin is decreed. If God could permissively decree the fall Of Adam and his posterity without being the cause and author of it, He can also permissively decree the eternal death Of an indi vidual sinner without being the cause and author of it. In preteri tion, God repeats, in respect to an individual, the act which He per formed in respect to the race. He permitted the whole human species to fall in Adam in such a manner that they were responsi ble and guilty for the fall, and He permits an individual Of the species to remain a sinner and to be lost by sin, in such a manner that the sinner is responsible and guilty for this. The Westminster Standards, in common with the Calvinistic creeds generally, begin with affirming the universal sovereignty of God over His entire universe; over heaven, earth and hell; and comprehend all beings and all events under His dominion. Nothing comes to pass contrary to His decree. Nothing happens by chance. Even moral evil, which He abhors and forbids, occurs by the de terminate counsel and foreknowledge of God and yet occurs through the agency of the unforced and self-determining will Of man as the efficient.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, 1872, Vol. 1 The Christian Apologist as such does not assume or attempt to put Christianity in possession of its own, but taking his stand before the tribunal Of every man's rational and moral nature, endeavors there to clear and establish the title Of Christianity to its own. Whether that title Should be admit ted he seeks in every lawful way to make evident whether it shall be conceded he leaves to depend on the success of a higher pleading - that Of Christ himself and the Holy Ghost.
