UNION SEMINARY, the Literary Digest of June 14 says, is "regarded as a very hotbed of heresy." We are told further that as the New York Presbytery is largely recruited from its graduating classes, they do not escape the same suspicion. The controversy includes such questions as: "Did Christ have virgin birth? Did He rise from the dead in bodily form? Did Lazarus rise? What part of the Bible is to be believed, and what not?" It is not now under the General Presbytery — it is out; but the New York Presbytery is endeavoring to force it in. But whether the seminary itself shall be taken in bodily or not, or whether the request shall be shelved, as it was at the last meeting of the presbytery at Atlanta, the graduates of Union Theological Seminary are continually presenting their credentials before the body of the presbytery. Recently four graduates were accepted by the New York Presbytery. Some of them could form no definite opinions concerning the virgin birth of Christ, the authenticity of the Pentateuch, the canonical standing of the Gospel according to St. John, and the resurrection. Among these is Tertius Van Dyke, son of the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke. Dr. Van Dyke defends the boys, and tells the assembly if they want a heresy trial, they should try it on a grown man, and not on eager-hearted, sensitive boys. Among other things he said: "Whatever comes of the protest, I wish to take my stand with these young men. They are my brothers in the faith. If they are unfit for the ministry, I am unfit." Dr. Francis C. Montfort, editor of the Cincinnati Herald and Presbyter, denounced "the Baal of Hindu philosophy" as enthroned in Union Seminary, and called on the church to choose between that philosophy and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Literary Digest says that "he is practically the only one we can find to quote on this side." He declared: "The time has come for the church to draw the line. The issue lies between true faith and Hindu philosophy masquerading under the guise of Christianity. Here is a Hindu philosophy in a modern theological school. Shall we allow this to continue?" But it does continue, and it is leavening more and more the entire Christian church. The real issue lies not between two schools of Christian thought, but between Christianity and infidelity.
