The formal reasonings of the theologian are no doubt of value, but they throw little light upon the essentials of Christianity except as they deal with data which have been supplied by Christian experience.

Owing to your Highness' position, however, he has attended here, hoping for your gracious consent without having made any formal application." "I must think!" the Prince answered. "Tell me, Soto. You are sure that the English doctor has had no opportunity of communicating with any one?" "He has had no opportunity," was the firm reply. "If your Highness says the word, he shall pass."

The Changes. When they were fairly embarked on the Thames, the earl took from his pocket the Supplication, and, pointing out to George Heriot the royal warrant indorsed thereon, asked him, if it were in due and regular form? "It is strictly correct and formal," he said, looking to the Earl of Huntinglen; "and I sincerely rejoice at it."
