He said that the movement miscalled the Now Theology" was not the gift of one man, not the brain of one Congregational Minister, but 11 important movement, supported by some of tho most learned men throughout the country.; The movement, if emanating from one individual, would not bear much weight. He was not surprised at. the movement, nor did he upon the whole re- gret it. His reason was that they lived in the 20th Century, and the penalty or privilege for doing so was that they lived in an ge of criticism. 'They could not keep roligicbi outside criticism, and, fur- ther, be nover regretted the inevitable. He did not resent the New Theology," provided it tras true. Theology like other sciences was progressive, and theology was the inte^lecttial clothes in which they clothed their reiigioie belief. If the New Theolo- §y" was true, he would hail it with delight, ut in kis o*n soul he did not believe thit it was. As to their attitude towards this nioveiziert, they should take the trouble to understand it, and until they did under- stand iti thoroughly, they had no right to say much about it. The preacher then pro- ceeded to deal with what the New Theology" impliud. SUCCESSFUL COMPETITIVE MEETING.

He was certain they would deal h^avv-handed with the tlrink trachs. There we-re 200 members in the House of Commons who were total abstainers, v hich meant "a friend in couH." He hoped the Bill would bring back the t.e authority ovor licenses to tho hands of tho Real rragi,-gtrat," rather than the court of Quaitor SJSJIOUS.
