believed, at least until relatively recent times, namely, "the eternal Son of God who became man, and so was, and continueth to be God, and man, in two distinct natures, and one person, forever" it cannot be that men's attitude toward Him is a matter of indifference. It must be that it is a matter of eternal significance and hence that every theory of thought and life that competes for the allegiance of men, as age succeeds age, into which He does not fit or rather in which He does not occupy a central place is thereby revealed as fatally inadequate if not as wholly false. Wherefore tragically as well as gloriously the prophecy of Simeon finds continued fulfillment:
"Behold this child is set for the falling and rising of many in Israel."
This is the second volume of the writings of Warfield published by the Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company. The first under the title The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible contains his major articles in exposition and defense of the Bible as the written
Word of God and as such the only infallible rule of faith and practice with an important introduction by one of the ablest of living scholars.
That this company expects to republish more of the writings of Warfield (D.V.) is indicated by the fact that it has obtained the publication rights in all of the ten volumes of the collected writings of Warfield published by the Oxford University Press.
