The Old Testament Student.

By Editor

THE May number of this journal is on our table. It is always of interest; a really useful publication. The article on "The Scriptural Conception of the Glory of God," by Professor Smith, of Lane Theological Seminary, is of more than ordinary interest. The paper, however, on "The Doctrine of Future Life in the Old Testament," is far below the average of its articles. It gives altogether too much credit to the speculations and traditions of the nations in moulding the beliefs of the writers of the Scriptures, and not enough to divine inspiration. We shall notice this hereafter.
