ARTICLE XI.

THE ROUND TABLE.

OUR NEXT VOLUME. New England Theology has never been of a single exclusive type. In its discussions it has oscillated between the two extremes of thought. It has fairly represented the different tendencies of different minds, the different experience of different hearts. Probably, there is no single Congregational church within our limits that does not include representatives of both schools of theology. This is as it should be. No one man, no one style of man, no one style of thinking, no one style of experience is sufficient for the rounding out of the whole truth. No one man is princely enough in mind, is sanctified and illuminated enough in spirit, to claim that the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, is with himself. Such empire of thought it is not safe for any man to possess. If given to him he would abuse it.

It

Discerning, as we thought we did, a tendency in some New Eng-, land Theologians of the present day to depart widely from the standards of the Scriptures and the fathers, to wrest the language and the views of the fathers from their legitimate direction, and to assume to interpret them with authority, six years ago the Boston Review was established for the purpose of creating and giving expression to a reactionary movement in the theological world. was started without funds, and for several years, conducted not only without remunerative returns, but at a dead loss to its proprietors. It has made its way to a respectable position in the literary and theological world, and a constantly improving financial basis. It has secured patrons and contributors from among some of the most substantial thinkers among the older ministers and laymen in New England, and other portions of the country, as well as from some of the most energetic and promising of those just coming upon the stage of action and influence, and has been permitted to see that reactionary and conservative movement well established and going forward. Its principles and policy are now well understood. It will still hold to them. Its conductors still invite the co-operation of those who have proved themselves tried friends in the past. They invite independent thinkers to make it the channel of communicating to the world their best thoughts on all literary, religious, and theological subjects; to suggest to its conductors errors that are making silent and insidious progress around hem, that the antidote may be provided; to assist in giving it a

wider circulation; in a word, to make it all that the Christian portion of our denomination would have it become.

We mean to add to the ability, variety, life and scope of its columns, during the year to come; to seek more firmly to seat the Review in the affections of its readers; to stimulate their minds to thought, to elevate their piety, and to make them more practical, as well as more intelligent Christian men and women. On the principles of Congregationalisın, on the best methods of increasing the power of the truth, and of reaching the masses non-attendant upon public worship, and making more efficient those departments of Christian labor already occupied and worked, we mean that the Review shall take a leading position. We wish, therefore, to call the attention, not merely of young ministers, but also of the young men and women of our church to our work, feeling confident that if God bless our labors, we shall not be disappointed, and shall not disappoint our readers. It may not be unappropriate to announce that we have in contemplation arrangements, which will be made public in due time, for enlarging and giving new efficiency to the editorial corps.

EXTRACTS FROM BUCKTHORNE'S NOTE BOOK. CHAP. DCCLXIX. CONCORDIA, Oct. 16, 1845. There was a heavy frost last night, and my summer squashes have stopped growing.

Oct. 19. Walked in the woods to-day, and saw a squirrel. Nov. 3. John Smith and Sally Brown came to see me to-day. Dec. 20. Have much neglected my Note Book of late. I must be more faithful in recording all important items.

Jan. 1, 1846. This is a prominent day in the year, for it is the first one. The old year closed yesterday. Tempus fugit.

Jan. 18. The trees are nearly all bare, except the beautiful evergreens, and the loose leaves are covered up by the snow.

Feb. 13. Rode in a sleigh to-day with Mr. Brown, the brother of Sally, mentioned under date of Nov. 3, in my Note Book. We saw two snow-birds. They were picking up grass seed, the dear things!

April 1. The Brahmins from Boston dined with us to day. We had for dinner stuffed gosling, veal, and small potatoes from my own garden. After dinner I read to them extracts from my Note Book, for the Brahmins are a literary family, and they said it was a feast. They wish me to publish when I have written the first thousand chapters. I delight to study nature, and hear the innocent crickets, and record my observations.
