^{page 28 note 2} The Rev. Prof. Dr. C. R. Vaughan says that Dr. Mitchell did not know what he believed, that sometimes his preaching was so Arminian that his New School elders would remonstrate with him; that on such occasions Dr. Mitchell would express his surprise that he had been preaching anything but good Calvinism; would propose to make reparation on the first opportunity, and would on his next appointment retract everything Arminian and preach a very good Calvinistic discourse. The truth is that Dr. Mitchell was a man of feeling and impulse rather than intellect.
