FROM OUR EXCHANGES

[The Congregationalist.]

The Churchman, with a candor that is admirable and with wholesale depreciation which we should not have dared to venture on in referring to our Episcopal neighbors, says that the history of the Protestant Episcopal Church (it says American Church) is "a history of dearth in productive and creative scholarship." It concedes that its ministry "gets very little sunshine from the works of its own scholars." It points out that the Protestant Episcopal Church took no part in the revision of the Bible and has consistently refused to authorize its use. It shows that out of twenty-nine American contributors to the Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels, edited by Dr. Hastings, just issued, not one is an Episcopalian. The practical bearings of this, the Churchman says, are that "a truth-bearing church cannot do its work on borrowed learning, nor can a church retain its self-respect in a state of intellectual dependence." Fortunately the Churchman notes a change for the better taking place.
