1*110F. WOOMtOW'8 HERESY.
From the tit. J.ouis Presbyterian.
"Neither cnn they prove the - things
whererif they uow accuse me. Hut. tins I
confcKs unto tbod, thnt after tlie way which
they call heresy, so worship I tlic 0ml of my
fathers, believing all things which are written
in the law anil in the prophets : ami have
hope toward (?od, which they themselves also
allow, that there shall be a resurrection of
the dead, both of the just and unjust. And
herein do I excrciso myself, to have always a
conscience void of offence toward Cud, and
toward men." ^ ' 1 '
The writer's opinion of Dr. Woodrow's
"Evolution" has been given. It
is the privilege usually accorded to every
one whose opinions are challenged.
Hint he be allowed to dejiiic his position,
hut in Dr. Woodrow's cast; his
Critics, refusing to allow him the privilege
of defining his position, arc con-1
tinually him a position of'
Ihoir own devising. Why this peculiarity
? Is it bepaQse ProtY^soiY.jy^M"* ;
row, in his own-cliwen position, ipantii'r- .
lively soon to be unassailable ? First
lie is assailed 011 (lie ground tliat I10 is
unscicntijlc, then ho is almost charged
with being an utter it/nontuiwft. then,
Ihnt he is a heretic ; and if any reasons
:iro given for eithor of these criticisms,
Ihey are either drawn from an almost
unpardonable misconception of tlie
teachings of his Address, or merely
based upon the ground that I)r. Woodrow's
views 011 Scientific matters are not
those entertained by his critic, which is
:>f course a mere begging of the question.
In our humble judgment, so lonj
is l)r. Woodrow is allowed the benefit
?f being judged, not for what he has not
said, but for what he has said explicitly
;>r implicitly, so long will he bo able
both on Scientific and 011 Biblical
jrounds to sustain himself successfully
igaiusl the charge of heresy.
What IV > "Vol.1 1
aither hurtful ov clangorous in Professor
Woodrow to maintain ami tench before
bis classes, and hpforo the world, that
this same law applies to the Bible in re
lation to this Natural Science question
of Evolution ? If the Church has en;
ilorsed Professor Woodrow in the application
of this law to the jliblu ant) Science
for the past twenty-five yenrs, how
ertn she consistently now reject this law,
und envt him out as a liGretic, or reject
his teachings as of heretical tundency,
because, forsooth,, he proposes to do in
th^Tilfurc, what ho has done, with her
Approbation, in the past, viz, : teach that '
between thtv Hible and Science there is
no contradiction ?
Still it may bo*said (Ats been said,)
granting that Professor \Voodrow is no
heretic, and grunting that heresy is not
logically implioatud in his teachings.
tliqy will, novertlrpless j?*oduce heresy
in the minds of his students. Tty their
fruits yo shall know them. Nearly a
quarter of a century ago, Professor W.
began his work upon the rising ministry

... .... ii nmjr u? limu uini n
wholo gen oration, of ministers lias grown (
up under his fostering influence,'men of
every grade of intellect, cast of mind,
mid constitutional temperament. Can
you put your finger to-day upon a solitary
one of I'rof. Woodrow's students
who has turned hsido to tho ^crooked
ways of the ticretic, or especially on?
V r '

ourt as an oHoir<:6.- or admitted as a
'
mattor of accusation, which cannot he
proved to bo such from Sciipturc, as in'.ernretcd
in .these standards." linlos
?T} Discipline, chapter iii. Heresy .
therefore must be the denial of some
loctrine formulated in our Confession,
>r the affirmation of some doctrine contradictory
of those formulated there.
Applying this test to Dr. Woodrow's
news, 1 ask mykelf?What'doctrine of
ths Confession (.or of the Bible) does
Prof. Woodrow deny or what doctrine
loes tbc address contradict? Is it
that (iod is Creator of all things?Adam ^
ncluded ? that lie created Adam of the
the "dust of the ground that lie differentiated
him from all other animals
by tho gift of an immortal spirit? that
lie constituted him the federal head and '
representative of his race ? that Adam
s the lirst father of the human race? ,
that the IJible is the very inspired word ^
af (iod absolutely true in every.respget ? (
that it is the only and the infallible rule (
>f faith and practice ? So far from de- (
lying or contradicting these points, he
s known explicitly to assert, maintain,
ind defend them.
i
But it may bo said, that granting he
liniself is not a "heretic," yet his sci- ;
intiUe views as nut forih in !ii? Aililn>u?

Is it true that Evolution is a Scientific (
juestion like. Geography, Astronomy,
ind|Hjeolo?y ? is it true that the Iiible
loes not tench Natural . cience a I (ill on '
iiiy point ? is it true, that so far, in reference
to questions of asserted conllict.
:hc result has been, by general consent,
that, while the liible does not hannoni/.e 1

things so? then how can it be 1

confidently appeal to these J'nctn in

we need in our Seminary just such n
as Dr. Wqodrow, abl'j in- 'Science
loss able in Biblical exegesis, thoroi
ly posted in everything portainin
the studies of hia department*
It seems clear, therefore, that

t of one great and distinct "department'' of
he study in a Theological Seminary. It is
nity indispensable ; its teachings cannot be
the relegated to the professors in other de,
or partments. There is, therefore, for the
that continuation of the "I'erkin's I'rofessormve
ship"' an unavoidable necessity.
ents There seems to be a misapprehension
can in the minds of some as to the extent
thejtjp which Professor Wood row docx teach
f.ra- -Natural Science in the Seminary, and in
y of the minds of others as to the extent to
resy which he should tench it. Now the
iich- word "connection'' in the tille of his
chair, accurately marks out both the
Sci- "extent" and the "limit" of his duties,
el if Generally his chair is apologetic; spent
ge citically it is apologetic of the Bible ; and
irt n that in a single "connection," viz.: that
s of of alleged Scicnlijic assaults. Ilis
sit}- teachings of Science then, must extend
is a to the fulT scope of this connection, anil
lied where this connection ceases, i. v. where
that there is no allegation of an offensive atay
? titude on the part of Natural Science,
>up- hero he must find his limit. Ho is set
suit for the defence of the Ilible against sooiir
called attacks from Science. His eye
> do mn.st therefore range over the whole
of field of. science ; wherever he hears the
the sound of the enemy's guns, there he
infi- must go, and there prepare his defences.
All. however, must he subordinate to
the the prime object?the defence of the
may Ilible. Hence he must inquire in the
livid first place, Is Science at -war with the
irth, llible ? In the second place, if there is
ittle war between these two?Where is the
his enemy located ?
cap- Dr. Woodrow's principles lead him to
?oril answer the first question by saying:
stall' There is not now, never has been, and
his never can be any real war between the
out Bible ami Science, /. <?., between the
, friic interpretation of God's thoughts
?mi- :is recorded in Nature, and the (rati invith
terprclafatiuH of liod's thoughts as reroin
corded in the Bible. Ilenee from this
?ges point of view, I'rof. \V. does not need to
aijd study the second question. If there be
bot- no warfare between Nature and the Bible,
Sci- then the attempt to lor ate. the eneftiy (?)
take is a waste of time. Hut then there is
,ait- an alleged warfare : hence the duties of
>arn his chair require him to recognize this
k of fact, and hence to discover the location
ned of the alleged enemy.
ogv In the prosecution of this inquiry, his
mis, principles lead him to suspect some error
ies?> of interpretation as the casus belli,
rely j Kither nature has been Misinterpreted
for- by her students or the Bible has been
ref- Misinterpreted by hers, or perhaps each
t of book has been erroneously expounded ;
.ve, for while both Nature and the Bible are
tint- /^fallible records, the interpreters of
cen both are fallible men. Perhaps, too,
part one or ihe other party may have inva[>ro
<leil (ho territory of the other. Dr. \V.,
cvi- then, must seek first to know the true
are text of the Bible, nnd then the true ined
? terpretatiOn of the text; - secondly to
the know the facts of Science, and then the
od ? true interpretation of those facts; carhus
rying on Biblical interpretation by the
the acknowledged laws governing that deters
partment, also carrying on interoreta
ioiiK t'on of the facts of Science by tho acqIu
Unowledged laws governing that departrec
uient. In the third place he must dethe
'.ermine the domain of these two Seien>ady
cos, in order to determine, in respect to
>wl- this alleged warfare which?Bible stuw
it dent or Scientific student?is to be ropter
garded as a trespasser upon the domain
of the other. .What is the domain of

ady '',0 application of this test easily setties
the question of domain between
0jQ. the Bible and Science.
The l*11' no' nioroly the established facts
of Science are used. The tentative hy?pe
potheses that are absolutely necossary
,V\ll pushing forward scientific investigajJl)t
tions, are used by somo as alleged
u,iy grounds of ; warfare. Iir. Woodrow

not having) an immortal soul, is not a n
question concerning mutter, but a ques- "

All that your Science entitles you -to* N
say is?//'man has a spirit* it is not h

ferent from matter, and therefore something
entirely outside of tin/ sphere as v
a student of the Natural Sciences.
This it seems to mo is all that Science c
can say ; and with this answer we n
should be satisfied. It is an illustration n

Now if in this matter we are entitled
to demand of the Scientist the recognition
of this law, should we not cheerfully
concede it to him, when he in turn
makes the demand upon us ?
Thus we have Professor Woodrow in
the Seminary carrying in one hand the
torch kindled from the Bible, and in
the other hand the torch kindled from
Natural Science, illustrating and
demonstrating the truth of the Bible,
the facts of Science, and the law which
regulates the "connection*' between
tlie.se two?the law of noncontradiction.

i) the resolutions presented to liim from ig|g
lie National Democratic (Convention,
iatnuel .J. Tilden has written the folowing
letter:
0 it a vstox k, October Oth, 1884.? Mr.
Chairman and Cientleim n of the Ooinnittec;:
I thank you for the kind terms
it which you have communicated the
csolutions concerning; me adopted by
lie late Democratic National Convenion.
I share your conviction that ret)rm
in the administration of the Federral
(ioverninent, which is our great
atioual want and is indeed essential to
he restoration and preservation of the
overnment itself, can only be achievod
hrough the agency of the Democratic
arty and by installing its ropresontaive
in the chief magistracy of the L'nietl
States. The noble historical tradiions
of the Democratic party, the priniples
in which it was educated and to
rliich it has ever been in tho main faith
ul, ils freedom from the corrupt inllunces
which 'grow up in prolonged posession
of power, and the natural elements
which constitute it, all contribute
o qualify it for that mission. The oplosite
characteristics and conditions
vhich attach lo the Republican party
lake it hopeless to expect that that pary
will be able to give butter governnent
than the debasing system of alms's,
which, during its ascendancy, has
nfooted ollicial and political life in
his country. The Democratic parly had

nd Ivobert 15. Livingston of New York,
nd George Wythe and dames Madison
f Virginia. From the election of Thos.
elforson as President in 18(K), for sixty
ears tho Democratic party mainly
lirected our national policy. It
xtended the boundaries of tho
opublic and laid the foundation of all
ur national greatness, while it preserved
he limitations imposed by the Constituion
and maintained a simple and pure
vstem ot domestic administration. C>n
he other haml, the Kupublican party has
Iways been dominated by principles
rhich favor legislation for the benefit of
articular classes at the expense of the
iody of the people. It has become
eeply tainted with abuses which natually
grow up during a long possession of
inchecked power, especially in a period
f civil war and false finances. The pariotic
and virtuous elements in it are now
limbic-to emancipate it from the sway
f the selfish interests which subordiate
public duty to personal greed. The
lost hopeful of the best citizens it eonnins
despair of its amendment except
lirough its temporary expulsion from
ower. It has been boastingly asserted
iy a modern Massachusetts statesman,
truggling to reconcil himself anfl his
allowers to their 1'residential candidate,
hat the Republican party contains a disroportlonato
share of the wealth, culure
and intelligence of tne country,
'lie unprincipled Grafton, when twitted
y James II with his personal want
f conscientiousness, answered: "That
s true, but I belong to a party
hat has a great deal of conscience."
'lie same claim has been made in all
ges and countries by defenders of old .
