GERMAN THEOLOGICAL FANCIES Several years ago Canon H ague said, ‘The most powerful exponents of the higher critical theories have been Ger mans, and it is notorious to what length the German fancy can go in the direction of the subjective and of the conjectural. F o r. hypothesis-weaving and speculation, the German theologi cal professor is unsurpassed. It is notorious th a t some of the most learned German th ink ers are men who lack in a singular degree the faculty of com mon sense and knowledge of human natu re. Like many physical scientists, they are so preoccupied w ith a theory th a t th e ir conclusions seem, to the aver age mind curiously warped. A learned man; in a le tte r to Descartes once made the observation, “When men sitting in th e ir closet, and consulting only th eir books, attem p t disquisitions into the Bible, they may indeed tell how they would have made the book if God had given them th a t commission, bu t w ith out an understanding tru ly divine, they can never form such an idea to them selves as the Deity had in creating it.” Matthew Arnold' says, “ If you sh u t a num ber of men up to make study and learning th e business of th e ir lives, how many of them , from w an t of some discipline or other, seem to lose all balance of judgm ent, all common sense.”
There will be no disappointm ents to those whose wills are buried in th e will of Christ.
