STUART, CHARLES MACAULAY: Methodist Episcopalian; b. at Glasgow, Scotland, Aug. 20, 1853. After cqmpleting his high-school studies in his native city, he left Scotland for the United States, and was educated at Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo, Mich. (A.B., 1880), and at the Garrett Biblical Institute, Chicago. Entering the ministry of his denomination, he remained in its pastorate until 1885, when he was associate editor of the Michigan Christian Advocate for a year. From 1886 to 1896 he occupied a similar position on the Northwestern Christian Advocate, and since 1896 has been i professor of sacred rhetoric in the Garrett Biblical Institute. Besides editing the Methodist Hymnal (New York, 1905), and The Books and their Message (1910), he has written Descriptive Text of Photogravures of the Holy Land (New York, 1890); Life and Selected Writings of Francis Dana Hemenway (in collaboration with C. F. Bradley and A. W. Patten; 1890); Gospel Singers and their Songs (in collaboration with F. D. Hemenway; 1891); Vision of Christ in the Poets (1896); and Story of the Masterpieces (1897).

STUART, CLARENCE ESME: Plymouth Brother; b. at Tempsford Hall, Sandy (8 m. e. of Bedford), England, 1828; d. at Reading 1903. He was grandson of William Stuart, Archbishop of Armagh; went from Eton to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took his master's degree, after obtaining a Tyrwhitt university scholarship in Hebrew. About the year 1860 he entered the ranks of the Brethren at Reading, where he continued to reside until his death. He wrote on the sacrifices, the Church of God, textual criticism of the New Testament (he was of the Tregelles school), and criti-

cized William Robertson Smith's Lectures on the Old Testament in the Jewish Church. In 1885 he put forth a pamphlet on Christian Standing and Condition, which aroused acrimonious discussion culminating in a division of the Brethren, not yet healed (see PLYMOUTH BRETHREN). This was fol lowed by a series of papers on propitiation, in which Stuart insisted on the detailed fulfilment of the pres entation of the Savior's blood, immediately after death, in the heavenly. sanctuary; this doctrine also was obnoxious to old associates. 'There followed expositions of the Gospels and Acts, of the epistles to the Romans and the Hebrews, and of the Psalter. A pamphlet entitled The Critics: shall we follow them f did battle for traditional views of the Old Testament. Stuart adhered closely to belief in ver bal inspiration. With independent judgment he held firmly the general body of doctrine, prophetic as well as ecclesiastical, characteristic of the Breth ren. E. E. WHITFIELD.

STUART, MOSES: American Hebraist; b. in Wilton, Conn., Mar. 26, 1780; d. at Andover, Mass., Jan. 4, 1852. He was graduated from Yale College with the highest honor (1799); taught school at North Fairfield and Danbury, Conn.; studied law and was admitted to the bar 1802, and the same year was called as tutor to Yale; pursued the study of theology with President Dwight, and was ordained pastor of the First Congregational Church, New Haven, Conn., 1806, showing remarkable talent as preacher and pastor; became professor of sacred literature in Andover Theological Seminary in 181, retaining his place there until his retirement in 1848. His first literary work was a Hebrew grammar, which was circulated among the students iri manuscript because it was not possible to print Hebrew in this country at that time; when it was finally printed (1813), he was compelled himself to set up part of the type for lack of compositors equipped for the task; later editions long remained the textbooks for American students. To Americans he brought the knowledge of what was being done for Biblical scholarship in Germany, and thus founded in America the scientific study of Biblical archeology and linguistics. For his services in this department he has been called "the father of American Biblical literature"; in the course of his labors he trained more than 1,500 ministers, 70 professors or
