[The Advance]

There never has been a time when more was said about science in religion than now. And yet there never has been a time when there was so much in the sphere of religion which was so unscientific as at present. Nothing could be more unscientific than for professors in theological seminaries to be trying to teach young men religious truth and doctrine when they do not know what they believe themselves; but not a few of them are making the attempt. Nothing could be more unscientific in its line than for the seminaries to be training men to preach and at the same time filling their minds with doubts as to whether they have anything to preach, and yet they are doing it. Nothing could be more unscientific than for preachers to go on preaching when they do not know what they believe, and yet there are those who are doing it.
