Donaldson, James. Westminster confession of faith and Thirty-nine articles of the Church of England: the legal, moral, and religious aspects of subscription to them. *$1.20. Longmans.
“By the decision of the House of Lords the vast properties of the Free church of Scotland pass over to the “Wee Frees,” a little company of belated ministers who in 1900 refused to acquiesce in the union of the Free church and the United Presbyterian. The ground of the verdict of the last court of appeal is that the Free church has departed from the literal and rigid terms of the Confession of faith, thereby forfeiting its belongings of whatever sort to the insignificant minority who still accent the Confession in its original bare, bald literalness. This, with its manifold implications is the theme to which the principal of St. Andrews addresses himself.”—Am. J. Theol.
“Principal Donaldson’s volume ought to awaken serious inquiry in the minds of all Christians who are fettered by creed subscriptions, for it all goes to show how unwise it is, and how dishonest and how morally ruinous, to cling to an outworn creed and outwardly to maintain religious tenets which the subscriber knows are no longer tenable.” Eri B. Hulbert.

“This is a deeply interesting book dealing with subjects which are smouldering to-day and may be burning to-morrow. We would offer to the writer of so thought-provoking a book not polemics but thanks.”
