Still less is the church called popularly by his name the monument of Irving.His contributions to theology, full of splendour of imagination, affluent discursive thought, grand moral ideas,and exquisite devotional feeling,as they are,will probably have but a slight permanent hold on the literature of theological science.What remains of him,and will remain, is the memory of the noble testimony he bore to the eternal righteousness and veracity; to the reality of the unseen kingdom,of which our Lord is King; to the divinely human character of Jesus Christ,and the living union betweenthe Master who suffered and overcame,andthe members of His body,the Church; the memory of that unwearying ministry, full of all apostolic labour, care, and love, which stirred the sluggish hearts of the churches,&fired them with emulous zeal;of that antique,romantic personality ,so idiosyncratic,so loveable,so unworldly, with its tender smile,its tones of thunder, `its large heart with its large bounty,where wretchedness found solacement,&they that were wandering in darkness the light ofa home.'"(280) Fair tan cloth sides, lacks most of leather backstrip.
