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 and Reformed Review, Vol. 1: July, 1890 In stretching the lines of defense of the spiritualistic principle in psychology, we turn at once to the method of knowledge as a pro cess, and we shall find it valuable for more than defense. For if we discover the independence of the thinking subject as regards the method, we may at once pass to its autonomy as regards the matter of the knowing process. That is, if we find a refutation of mate rialism in the psychology of knowing, we have so much the more ground for its refutation in the metaphysic of knowing, and the two considerations will present a consistent philosophy of knowing. What then is the materialist's doctrine of the method of knowledge? There are four cosmological doctrines of knowledge, arising from four types of world-theory, assuming that the parties to the contro versy are only mind and matter. First, monism of thought; second, dualism 01 thought and matter (or force); third, absolute phenome nalism or agnosticism; and fourth, monism of matter (or force). On the first hypothesis, perception is a purely thought relation, and by definition the materialist cannot accept it. On the second, we have a realistic theory of knowledge in which the thought element rests upon the ultimate presupposition of thought and the materialist is again excluded. Upon the hypothesis of absolute phenomenalism the support is cut equally from both subject and object. If both be phenomenal, there can be no question as to which is real, and the materialist and idealist are both defeated. The fourth supposition, monism of matter or force, is then the materialist's only alternative, and the first problem we propound to him is this: Given matter or force, how do you account for thought? Is mind a function of organized matter? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, Vol. 6: October, 1895With the end of the Thirty Years War the external dangers to the Reformed of Zurich passed away. There was now room for internal development in the Church. The canons Of Dort were never adopted by the Swiss, yet there was no country in Europe outside of Holland, not even France, where they exerted so great a theological influence. This reveals itself and culminates in the Helvetic Consensus, the most scholastic of the Reformed creeds of the continent of Europe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, Vol. 10: October, 1899 In conclusion, on this difficult but important question, on which no fair mind will claim that all the arguments lie on one side, we would say that, if justice is to be done to the whole teaching of Christ, the View which has been advanced must be held in con junction with the maintenance of a love on the part of God which goes out to man as such and which is the source of redemption (john iii. Between those who hold the restricted character of the Fatherhood of God in the sense in which 'christ so often speaks of it, and those who hold the unrestricted or the universal, there need be no difference on this point. As has been already stated in our discussion of this subject, we are not permitted to doubt that the love of God which the Saviour proclaims, even as the love which He Himself exhibits, is a love which in one aspect of it at least goes forth to men as men, is a love which is not called into exercise by any change of character in its object, any goodness found in him, but which is rather the source of all gracious change, the sustaining principle of all highest goodness in man. What we may doubt is, that this is the equivalent of the Fatherly love and the filial standing of which Christ assures those who are members of His kingdom. We are of opinion, for the reasons given, that it is not; that, on the contrary, the Father hood of God which He unfolded is one which obtains strictly within the realm of grace.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, 1894, Vol. 5 I. Calvinism is 'a Specific type among the Protestant Churches and confessions. Frequently this type is designated by the name of Reformed. The words Reformed and Calvinistic, however, though cognate in meaning, are by no means equivalent, the former being more limited and less comprehensive than the latter. Reformed expresses merely a religious and ecclesiastical distinction; it is a purely theological conception. The term Calvinism is of wider application and denotes a specific type in the political, social and civil spheres. It stands for that characteristic view of life and the world as a whole, which was born from the powerful mind Of the French Reformer. Calvinist is the name of a Reformed Christian in so far as he reveals a specific character and a distinct physiognomy, not merely in his church and theology, but also in social and political life, in science and art.

Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, Vol. 6: July, 1895 Approaching now the question of his theology, we may ask the question which it is well to apply to all preachers and all thinkers of all schools, Christ's own question concerning Himself, What think ye of Christ? It is wonderfully true of Bishop Brooks that his whole preaching was a prolonged and glowing tribute of praise, and honor, and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. It is said that he once answered, being asked what sermon he would preach, I only have one sermon. He might have adopted in his own way the exclamation of Count Zinzendorf, I have but one passion; it is He. His whole thinking continually revolves about His Per son, in reverent delight over His humanity and His divinity, glory ing in His life and death, and appealing to all men to believe and obey Him. While we must rejoice in this and in the saving power that therefore followed his ministry, the moment we press further into his doctrine concerning our Lord's Person, the more surprising, and, to our view, the more deplorable, is his evident departure from the theology of the Episcopal Church, as from the view of the im mense majority of Christians in all ages. His doctrine of the Per son of Christ - ever the key to any man's whole idea of the Gos pel - colors, and, as we think, greatly lowers his ideas both of the man Christ Jesus, of God Himself, of humanity, redeemed and un redeemed, altering with it the work of Christ for our salvation. His view of Christ is expressed with great clearness in a sermon with the significant title of, The Eternal Humanity, on the text.
