Excerpt from Inauguration of the Rev. Benjamin B. Warfield, as Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology Seminary as Princeton, and so tremendous are the interests which swing pivoted on your faithful discharge of its func tions, that the Directors are not at liberty to omit from the ceremony of your induction the Charge that is customary on such occasions. While it will be your office to teach truth, - and truth, too, of infinite importance, - it will not be your duty to teach all truth. For truth is coextensive with reality itself, of which it is always the faithful exponent. God has not called you, nor indeed has He called any man, to be an expositor of all truth. Even in the domain of Theology, the division Of labor which obtains here as it does else where, and which grows more and more minute as the world advances in knowledge, will confine your efforts to a single department, - The Science of Didactic and PO lemic Theology. I say Science; for if facts, and inferences from facts logically drawn and systematically arranged, constitute Science; and if Science rises in dignity with the value and importance of its object-matter, then indeed must Theology, treating as it does of God, of man, and of their involved relations, be not only a Science, but of all Sciences the Queen.
