OXONIENSIS is much displeased with us for having italicized the last words in the sentence page 871:-"As to Dr. Temple, strong are my feelings of gratitude to him as a master." We felt it due to ourselves and our readers to suggest this qualification in an anonymous communication, and we make no apology. It is our custom to make all anonymous contributors speak in harmony with the principles of our magazine. Indeed the cases are very few, in which the writers themselves, when they confidentially favour us with their names, do not request us as a favour to alter or amend according to our own judgment. Has "Oxoniensis" forgotten his own courteous letter to the Editor on these points?
MR. CARR'S reply to G. S., on verbal inspiration, is received; but we consider the discussion closed, each side having stated their views with admirable clearness. And during the last two years, we have scarcely published a number without something on the subject of inspiration.
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER would know why the children of excellent parents sometimes become as eminent in sin or in error as their parents were in holiness; and he points especially to one well-known instance. This is not a question for public discussion. Nor can we see that it is capable of any satisfactory answer. The imperfections of a good and wise parent will not account for it; for every parent is imperfect. The surprise which such a contrast creates is a proof that it is most unfrequent. In general, the promise of God standeth sure, and the seed of the righteous is blessed; the rest we must leave. Let pious parents never cease to pray, and if possible to believe; and after a long winter of sins, the child who has given the deepest anxiety may become their joy and crown of rejoicing.
