W553k6QQQ6QSiE2UMfMWw5SEk6QQQ6QSiEd3 e 0 i Theolog1cal A is TEACHING THEOLOGY AND RELIGION- E SHALL WE FOLLOW THE MODERN IDEALS? Like most other subjects in the educational world, theology and religion E9 are suffering a change of their content and their meaning. Instead of gaining C5 in value and becoming' more clear to the average mind by this change they Go have suttered until tl1e old time idea of supernatu1'al is about eliminated until P now these terms mean but little except a natural theology and a human re- lig'ion. at lt is time that there should be an awakening' in our schools and the re- lig'ious world before we drift entirely into materialism and lose sight of G-od Q tj and llis truth altogether. Q Anv system of theology or any religion that ignores the supernatural and the divine is but a man-made thing' and has but little effect on the morals or fact ef a personal fyiod, the truth of the deity of Christ and His substitutionary Q saeritiee, and the vitalizing' work ot the lloly Ghost upon the individual heart E3 and lite of men is discarded, theology becomes an inert system of impractieable Q doctrines. ' Hur sehool must never lose sig'ht of the practical life-giving nature of E E . x . culture of men and quickly loses its hold on their minds and life. When the 6 theological truth and ot its actual and effieatious work in the mind and the heart of those who receive it in the nature and the Spirit in which it was given. It is the Spirit of the 'Word, rather than the letter, that gives lite Q qv and this should never be lost sight of in all of our teaching. This gives us a Q! L high standard tor the instruction of our youth, not the one commonly follow- 59 ed, but the real one and the only one of value. rf-.5 Q lllany schools seeing' the distressing' conditions that exist in almost every 9 eirele of lite believe that education, especially along the lines of religion, 5 will solve the problems and bring' us back to former standards of honor. So X L' many great sehools of religion are being' builded up, to which hundreds go to 0, learn how to bring in the golden age . These schools, alas, are Working on J the theory that a human Fhrist formulated a philosophy of living and a code Q of ethics, taug'ht the ln'otherhood of mankind and left us to work out our EQ salvation while in the ehains of depravity and the power of sin. They cause -... the t hristian religion to lose all of the presence and power of God, Christ Q and the Spirit and put it on the same plane of teaching as any other religion. ...- Q Thus the teaching' fails the ve1'y object for which it has been organized. Q Q The following' is so illuminating' that we are glad to quote it from Dr. Q5 - Patton: It is the incarnation that gives organic character to Scripture. It Qt is human g'uilt that eonstitutes the g1'eat presupposition of Revelation. It is S the doctrine of faith as man's repose to the overtures of love that meets the ty exigencies of man 's moral nature and makes the Bible the best and greatest Q message that man has ever had. Why, then. do men tell me that they wish J the Bible taug'ht religiously, but not doctrinallytl Vllhy do educated men who K9 Ca have been taug'ht to distinguish between the letter and the spirit show such proneness to mistake when they touch religious themes? Yet the wor1d.is full of men who speak in this way. These are men who stand in our pulpitis U '- and preach on the patience of Job and the moral courage of Danielg who find E9 material for sentimental sermons on the seasons. and practical sermons on the EQ Q importance of sleep, or the need of restricting emigration, but who are silent respecting the tremendous fact of sin, and the dogmatic significance of atoning blood.
