The following pages are, with little alteration, a reprint of an Essay published in the second volume of the Canada Presbyterian Church Pulpit. The Essay is expository more than controversial in form but it deals with topics on which a good deal has recently been writ ten, and on which much diversity of opinion clearly exists. The de fence of the distinctive doctrines of the Westminster Confession, or what is known as the Calvinistic or Reformed Theology, is not here proposed: the vindication of Calvinism is a thing entirely distinct from the vindication of the importance of Doctrinal Standards.
The writer of the essay entertains sentiments of respect and affec tion for those branches of the Church of Christ which deem it incon sistent with due regard for the supremacy of the Scriptures to recog nise any authoritative character in compositions purely human and he knows that their aim is not different from that which he also would wish to pursue - even to contend earnestly for the faith once (once for all) delivered to the saints. But with those persons who look upon the doctrines of religion as merely a department of philosophy, in which almost nothing is so determined that it may not require essen tial revision, he differs so seriously in first principles, that it were vain to expect their acceptance of the main positions here sought to be established. By such persons the Reformation is regarded as a bless ing, so far as it was a successful revolt of the human mind against ecclesiastical tyranny, but scarcely at all as the restoration of a Scrip tural faith; and whenever the Protestant Churches would deal with any doctrine as ascertained truth, they are reproached with forgetful ness of the very principles by which they exist. But there is here a radical misconception, surely, of the character and office of the Chris tian Church. The Church has the Truth, as a deposit, committed to her 3 and she, under great responsibilities, is appointed to keep as well as to propagate it. If Protestantism were the denial of this position.
