Excerpt from Thoughts on the Present Position of Protestantism In my wish to make this version of what he said thoroughly intelligible to my own fellow-countrymen, I have, with Professor Harnaclc's full authority and approval, ventured upon a few departures from the exact words of the original. In so doing my sole object has been to give a general application to [expressions which were in the first instance used of Germany alone, and thus to adapt them to the needs of a new audience. That that audience may be a large one is a hope which I entertain, not only out of considerations of personal friend ship for the speaker, but also from the con viction that what he has to say is well worthy of our best attention.
