The hearts of our young men are beating responsively to these statements. A few are boldly expressing their feel ings. We have come to a new era in the history of thee logical Opinion. Germany is supplying us with a New Ref ormation. We are free from the bonds which have con tracted the minds and Oppressed the hearts of our fathers. We feel as if a new country were opened to us. A long vista is before us. The Old is passing away like the night; a morning full Of promise is dawning. We are about to pass out of the wilderness into Canaan, with its trees and ?owers, its hills and streams. We have a smaller Bible, and a more generous method of interpreting it; a large portion is found to be poetry. We have a freer gospel to listen to, a more liberal gospel to preach. We have a beau sabreur, a dashing hussar, to lead us on.
