Excerpt from The Mercersburg Review, 1857, Vol. 9: Edited for the Alumni Association of Franklin and Marhsall College This assembly may be regarded as the practical fruit of that vigorous evangelical theology which, for the last twen ty or thirty years, has risen in successful opposition against the most learned and dangerous forms of infidelity. The leaders of that theology, as Tholuck, Nitzsch, Muller, Hengstenberg, Domer, Ullmann, Hofi'mann, Ebrard, Lange, etc., are also amongst the principal founders and support ers of the Kirchentag. But the war, Victoriously waged in the field of science and literature, must now be carried into the congregations and the practical life of the people. This work must be continued and completed by the rising generation of ministers trained by orthodox and pious pro fessors, by the various Church-governments, and by free associations, of which the one under consideration is by far the largest and most influential.
