Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Revlew, Vol. 1: April, 1892 However great the number of those that were carried away with these tendencies on the road to negation, the core of the nation was not swept along but adhered to the Bible and to the Confession. Among the higher classes a revival of faith was produced by the Reveil, which, after the Restoration, had been transplanted, by per sonal intercourse and writings, from Switzerland to our country. The men of the Reveil, however, were far from being children of one spirit. At first this was less apparent. But gradually differ ences of Opinion in regard to the Confession, theology, the Church, the State, the university were brought to light. Out of these differ ences, which were present from the very first, afterwards distinct theological tendencies were born in the sphere of science also.
