Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collectanea Graeca Et Latina: Selections From The Greek And Latin Fathers; With Notes, Biographical And Illustrative One thing has impressed the editor as he has been con versing with those minds of the ancient times. If in some respects our Theology and Biblical Literature have gained, in systematic preciseness, by the larger means and materials for critical study available in more recent times, it is impos sible to despise the immense learning evinced by these great men and scarcely possible to overlook tho evidence of the Divine agency in raising them up to the great work for which they proved themselves so competent, of defending Christianity in the ages of its imminent peril. And the vanity of the men who would summari dismiss those early leaders of the Church, and Christian heroes and martyrs, because of some errors in interpretation or doctrine, might be instructed by studying the example of their earnest and devoted application to the work of their day in building up the citadel of the faith. As to many of them, we have seen in the spirit of ardent Christian love burning in their breasts, much to rebuke the coldness, the selfishness, the littleness, of an age so defective, after all, in proportion to its advantages and privileges, in the primitive holiness.
