©flTOSjwit&tm THOUGHTS ON THE ATONEMENT. 11. The Westminster Assembly and the “Federal” Scheme. When it is remembered that the first sys tematic exposition of the “Federal Headship theory, was published by Cocceius, in 1648, while the Westminster Assembly met in 1643, an 4 dissolved 1649, it may be thought strange that the doctrinal forms of the Westminster Standards are so thoroughly Cocceian. At all events, the adoption of (what was then) a theologi cal novelty—Coceeianism—is a curious and effec tive illustration of the readiness of the Assembly to throw itself into the prevailing current of the ological opinion. ' Circumstances have so associa ted their names in recent times,'with all that is conservative and cautious, that it is a surprise to fend them embodying in -their work the very la test results of theological speculation,; res,ults : that were denounced as heresy by the orthodox and conservative Calvinists 6f Holland-, Who boasted that they were “ Traditionarians,” —who that “it is for us' to light-our candles at those' great lights Reformers and the Synod off Port,— who announced- “ caught up the last voices and words Fa thers, of whom ,we are now glad to calf ourselves eojjo." . ,;/* ,\Ve might, in passing, refor4o, other poigte ( in .which the; Westminster 4aSemJ>lj n eyinqedj.their independence of theological .; traditipn.

But there are those who, in our pwn day, unite the spirit of Voctius to the letter of Cocceius, who retain,of the, latter only the questionable results of his .Speculations, Wnd surrender the noble .and yyhojepqine method, - which gives him his true.;and highest significance -in the History of Calyinistie (thqology.

In deed we do not see why some chabgeS of this sort might'not be made in the’East, (Such churches of course .consenting), though owing (to the more j intense deßominational feelingj there would be more impediments. In the W.est .where the ministers and members are nearly all young, the memory of the division has been Mmost for gotten. The economy of such.a policy is a great recom mendation to it. To put two;, Presbyterian mis sionaries info the same newly planted town to toil side by side, in 1 feeble churches, for fiye n ten or more years, till they become' s‘elf-supporti'ng, is do waste the funds in the treasury'of the Lord; in the interest of selfish denominationalism.'. 'lt wastes the Church Erection, Fund, Missionary Fund, Publication Ft;nd, and, must precious of all, the self-denial of noble men. One man could take the care of both united better than either of the two could take care of the half. At the sathe time, it would muclTsbonef come to the point of self-support. More than that; by the division, the, Presbyterial element is, crippled in the race with other denominations. ' It is not so much which church is founded first, as which chiireh becomes strong and flourishing first. The first Presbyte rian effort in a growing town should be ih' one church, and no second should be formed till that is large enough to send out a respectable colony and still remain self sustaining or nearly so. For obvious reasons it would' be better if that colony could beof the same order as thetoother chufch. The Churches in the East, who beaf the burden of'those'Homfe Mission have a right that economy be studied in the direction of tfihm;- - ' ' The plan of division of territory would allow in some-cases the respective bodies to occupy new fields, by sending men in squads instead of sin gly. In a region where a dozen in or more of new churches are to be planted in a few years, let not fewer thdn be sent at obellime, and as many more a r s it is practicable. The men will be mneh more ready to go, as for instance if seleeted from one class just graduated and -sent to Nevada or' Idaho.or Nebraska.. They could; help each,other, coul.d meet as neighbors, could contribute to one another’s < mental and -spiritual culture, and ar range foPjithe occupation of new fields.' How much is often lost by the disconragemeht of min isterial where a.luan has no neighbor within 50 or 100 (miles and no means of reaching, them at. that?-- At thcrilast General Afesembly r one rnan spoke of ihiinself as. the i-only minister of our body in Colorado.

"One Cincinnati fashion, observable 1 in Spring Grove, I do not like: the choice of other than white and especially of a variegated reddish brown marble, as the material for monuments. As Hegel points out, the growth of sculpture is marked as much by the choice of nobler materials as by'the increased beauty of form; only the nation -that wrought in Parian marble could pro duce the Phidian Zeus. The people of Cincinnati are not as “religious ly inclined” as those of some less beautiful cities.
