His "Editorial Points of View," which ap-
peared in every issue for some years, proved to be es-
pecially stimulating and interesting and were the chief
attraction for most of the readers of the Review. They
could always be counted on to pay their respects to the
liberal theology of the day—and to good account. When
in 1897, the Church's mind reverted to the birth of
Melanchthon four hundred years ago, one was not sur-
prised to be treated with a symposium on Melanchthon
and the Church Fathers. When Hastings Bible Dic-
tionary appeared in 1901, it was to be expected that Dr.
Schmauk should expose its rationalism and condemn
the choice of scholars of the liberal school by its editors,
to deal with vital subjects, while they excluded writers
of conservative tendencies. All through the following
years, the reader was sure to have surprises sprung
upon him by the introduction of some new feature. In
the January issue of 1902, for instance, there appeared
a most interesting Editorial Survey of the Year 1901.
Similar surveys appeared for the next three years,
and much regret was expressed when the editor failed

to continue to interpret leading events in like fashion
in the years that followed.
When in 1903 he was elected President of the General
Council, as Dr. Jacobs correctly says, We can trace a
difference between the policy pursued when the respon-
sibility for his utterances was limited chiefly by his in-
dividual obligations and that which guided him from
1903. He writes from that time more with the con-
sciousness and authority of official position, and that
the Journal which he edits is regarded as an organ of
the body over which he presides.
A third important place he was asked to fill at the
meeting of the Council in 1895 was that of membership
in the Church Book Committee, which later also made
him a member of the Joint Committee which produced
the Common Service Book and Hymnal. In this
sphere, he proved to be deeply interested and active.
He kept in touch with the progress of the work down
to its minutest details, though the burden of the work
was placed upon other shoulders.
