Revivals of Religion","The text examines the meaning of “revival” as resuscitation or resurrection from the dead, applying the term primarily to the visible church rather than the world. It contrasts revivals with the common idea of an “awakening” among the unregenerate, then traces recurring periods when God’s work seems to cease and later returns through movements symbolized by dry bones and a renewed multitude for the Lord. It also critiques evolutionary philosophy on moral and religious grounds, citing theological judgment and scientific testimony.","THE  \nNO.3.—JANUARY,1888.  \n# I.REVIVALS OF RELIGION.\n\nThe word Revival implies the previous existence of life;moreproperly,it means resuscitation or resurrection from the dead.Butaccording to usage,and with reference to the secondary meaningsof the word life,it means calling into active exercise a life whichhas become torpid or has been slumbering.Hence,it has specialapplication to the church,not to the world outside.In Acts  \n2:41ff.we have an account of a revival in the proper sense oftheword;for all the statements there concern the members of thevisible church of God.What is commonly called a revival—ageneral religious movement among the unregenerate—was calledby our fathers an“awakening.”There is a sense in which suchan awakening may be called a revival,to-wit:a revival of God'swork,(Hab.3:2)—that work of salvation,of callingin His elect—which He has been doing from the beginning.This work seemsat times,and in some places,almost to cease;the Lord seems toabandon His church and give it up to the power of Satan,as in thedays of Elijah,at the crucifixion of Jesus,and in the“Dark Ages.”Then comes a time of reviving,a great movement among the drybones,and a great multitude stand up for the Lord.(Josh.24—1 Sam.12.—Judg.2.—1 Chron.29.—Hezekiah,Josiah,theMaccabees,Pentecost,the Wilderness,the Brethren of theCommon Lot,the Reformation,the Kirk of Shotts,Northampton,  \n(399)  \nand creator.His higher sentiments and aspirations,his self-denyingphilanthropy,his enthusiasm for the good and true,all the strugglesand sufferings of heroes and martyrs,not to speak of that self-sacrificewhich is the foundation of Christianity,are in the view of the evolu-tionist mere loss and waste,failure in the struggle of life.What doeshe give us in exchange?An endless pedigree of bestial ancestors,with-out one gleam of high or holy tradition to enliven the procession;andfor the future,the prospect that the poor mass of protoplasm whichconstitutes the sum of our being,and which is the sole gain of anindefi-nite struggle in the past,must soon be resolved again into inferior ani-mals or dead matter.That men of thought and culture should advocatesuch a philosophy,argues either a strange mental hallucination,or thatthe higher spiritual nature has been wholly quenched within them.It is one of the saddest of many sad spectacles that our age presents,\"p.396.  \nSuch is the conclusion to which one of the leading scientists—alayman,not a divine—of our day has come.The judgment of one ofour ablest theologians,lately passed away,the lamented A.A.Hodge,is in accord with that of Sir.J.W.Dawson.“You cannot,there-fore”—writes he,\"take this speculative evolution as a fact;the testi-mony of science thus far,with regard to the facts,is against it.It is avain,vapid,pretentious philosophy of evolution,which has no scientificbasis,and is absolutely devoid of any scientific authority.You mustoppose this,first,in the interest of the colvictions of your own reasonand of the fundamental principles of human thought and intuitions;secondly,in the interest of natural religion;thirdly,in the interest ofrevealed religion.”(Popular Lectures on Theologieal Themes,p.175.)  \nIn his preface to this ninth edition of his book,the author tells us:\"Several corrections and additions,rendered necessary by the progressof discovery,have been introduced into the text,and notes have beenadded with reference to other new points.The general statements andconchusions remain,however,substantially the same as in 1873;theauthor having seen no valid reason to depart from any of them;whilewith respect to some,additional evidence in their favor has beenfurnished by the facts and discoveries developed in recent years.”Forthe reader who desires a popular treatise on Geology,fully abreast withthe science of the day,I know of no book better than“The story of theEarth and Man.\"GEo.D.ARMSTRONG,  \n# ScHURMAN's\"ETHICAL IMPORT OF DARWINISM.\n\nTHE ETHICAL IMPORT OF DARWINISM.By Jaeob Gould Schurnan,Sage Professor of Ph","cbCaihOEOjvFDHpM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihOEOjvFDHpM","pdf",456335,1,5,"English","en",105,"# I.
