Extracts Frem The Alumni Address of Rev. Dr. Cee. B.Rnssel, D.V., c-reMdentef Palatinate College, at F. & fll. Commencement. I dare net deny any fact in science coming te me well authenticated. Once established it challenges my most implicit confidence. In se far as science. leads in this clear light, I am bound te fellow, aud te fellow fieely ; but no further, at my peril. Whenever scientists, reasoning from a known fact, or a class of well known facts, undertake te speculate en the un known and thereby iuferentialiy construct theories, systems and 'olegies, I am still left free te accept these or reject them. Ne mere inductive argument in science can claim te be absolutely true. Scientific truth must be verified by actual test. Until that condition is at hand I am neither unscientific nor irrational, if I sec fit te held opiuiens differing from the material istic philosopher. Fer a true instauce : The astrouemers years age, by investigation finding certain unknown disturbing influences affecting their planetary calculations, prophesied the existence of some ether heavenly- body hitherto nndiscevcrcd. Seemingly well settled laws indicated the same : but this alone was net positive proof that there were actually such a planetary body. But, when the heavens were mere thoroughly ex plored with a view te the discovery of the disturbing cause, and thereupon a newly found planet is revealed te science then the argument becomes conclusive. Inductive inferences, therefore, in re gard te ether phenomena in nature ; as about the atmosphere, and water, and heat, aud physical existence en the plan ets, or fixed stars, we may receive as pos sible and cven credible hypotheses. But if I see fit te reject all such speculations about their clouds and canals until they are demonstrated truths, lam net uuphil uuphil uuphil osephical. Because I can conceive that the laws relating te what we call atmos phere, water and heat, as existing for our world, may net be infinitely universal, I de science no wrong. Existences may held under vastly different analogies and rela tions in ether beings than roan, and in ether worlds than ours. Aud what is net knowable, I de net think it philosophical te pursue. All these teachings about the fixed stars, as ether suns similar te ours, being themselves sun centics of ether planetary systems ; and then all these rcvelviug around a common central sun, in like manner as our planetary system moves around our sun centre ; and then, an in definite number of snch central suns, with their groups of ether buds revolving around some great grandfather sun, which is a still mere remote centre of these central suns ; and all this forming only the out skirts of the solar creations running en ad libitum, is possibly scientific if true. But I claim that my high regard for sci ence docs net require rac te travel beyond the astronomic realms of the record. The inductive argument of scientists is very geed, as far as it is known te be true. The analytic method is less liable te lead astray than the synthetic in the service of induction. It is far easier te tear a rose te pieces, than for man by a new creation of his own te construct a mero glorious flower. Empyrical examination does net always give us the whole truth. In chem ical analysis, science can often lead us safely till there is an explosion. If that docs net conclude the argument we are net bound te fellow further. Much has been made about the solid facts of geology and the records of the rocks. Here iciencc may be said te ceme down te hard facts atlcast,aftcr we leave the melted mass and get into the cooled ciust of the earth. It is, indeed, some thing grand te grasp the conception of the geologic ages. If the world, especially the earth's crust as far down as it has been explored, were always under the con ditions similar te the nature of what we new knew of certain influences, acting by means of air, water forces, frost, heat and general chemical laws ; it may be very philosophical te conclude, that it required such ages, extending into many thousands aud even millions of years te bring about the formations of the strata as they new exist. According te the inductive reason ing of geologists, that is a very beautiful theory running its system through the in definite, if net illimitable ages of forma tion. Ncbuhe first became solids ; and some solids were tlicn melted by igneous action aud afterwards cooled into uustral ilicd rocks; ether solids took the stratified form, inclosing vegetable and animal re mains in fessilcd condition te register the age, the signatmc of the periods in which this occurred. Geology, as far as its facts aie authenti cated, docs net contradict the truths of divine revelation as te the creation of the world. Neither does this make it neces sary for us te invade the mysterious se crets of the Creater's wisdom, nor limit his almighty power. It must be regarded therefore as a stretch of scientific prerog ative te bind the Almighty te these geo logical theories. Te harness the creative will te the car of scientists' imaginative conceptions is a stupendous presumption ! Dogmatic assertions as te the work of creation, are often made, declaring that the order was actually just thus aud se ; aud therefore that the Bible account can not be true. Because, what is found in the rocks indicates such possibilities as may seem te be in conflict with divine reve lation, cannot by that fact claim our un doubting assent, en pain of condemnation, as being unscientific. If intelligent men prefer te believe that the process of the crcative work of Ged was in fact some thing cosmically different from what geol ogists assert must have been the only pos sible way for the world te have been cre ated, they may net be charged with being in hostile relation te science. Admitting a distinct act of creation for each indefi nite geologic age, there is no mere science, and surely no greater grasp of faith, in believing that Ged made the world sub stantially as we find it, its strata and its living orders, without the geologic neces sity of countless ages intervening between his several creative acts. Science can never admit anything out- side et tne known laws new operative in nature. According te this, the wisest men of science wili tell you : It is net pos sible that the sun ever apparently steed still in the heavens for about the period of a whole day, se that it went net down while Jeshua was moving en the works of the five kings of the Ameritcs, near Gibeon. By a parity of scientific reason reasen ing, it is just as plain that Adam and Eve, or some ether first pair, each had a natural father and mother ; while the same wis dom is. quite sure that these ancestry of our first parents developed themselves from some ether animal order, which was itself the result of untold ages traveling up from the primitive protoplasm. They are se sure of this, that they held it te be unscientific te even question their theory. According te the same wisdom, it is super stitieus te believe in a distinct creation by the ''Almighty maker of heaven and earth." Even some Christiau philosophers, who claim te be scientists first, aud then secen darily Christians, seek te reconcile the de ductions of science with the idea of a dis tinct act of the divine creative power. In order te this, they of course allow that this world and all its erders of beings had a beginning ; that this was of divine origin ; but that the processes by which all things came te be what we new find them, were of indefinite duration ; and that the geologic ages have had their his tory of successive formations, showing that it is philosophically impossible te have been otherwise. If new it requires years for one grain of wheat, according te known laws of growth and increase, te multiply te a sufficiency for feeding a vast multitude : thcrefore it is superstitious te held that the same end can be reached by the divine crcative word in the instant of necessity. Se teaches science. Dogmatism is roundly denounced by scientists. Bat dogmatism in liberal philosophy is most intolerant. Finding, for instance, that the sediment of annual deposit at the mouth of of a river averages say half au inch in thickness for several years of observation, science declares as a deduction, that a body found at a given depth in such locality, has Iain there for se many thousands of years. It is there fere held te be unscientific te suggest, that possibly seme single years by special circumstances of flood, tide or ether pecu liar conditions may have deposited ten feet of sediment aud thereby shortened the process of filling up te a given depth, many thousands of years. Or, if a tree grows by annular deposits of weedy fibre, it is euly necessary te count the nnjs te I tell its age ; but when a man knows that in twenty-five years in the warm south west trees planted by man's own hand are known te have increased these weedy layers te mero than two hundred, the fact is. against science. Ne indeed ! If Ged did create the world, as may be hypotho hypetho hypothe tically admitted, says scientific induction, then He must have required se mauy millions of years te be able te bring about the results. Se many myriads were neces sarily required before stratification became legible ; and then se many mero at least from Ihe devenian, through, say, the car boniferous, aud onward te the period of the mammals. Seme explain that the Almighty Creater did net want te limit Himself and se had te allow for the long, long period of years. While it may be regarded, therefore, a:; quite scientific te degmatize as te the ne cessity for the intervention of ages of untold duration that were the least possi ble for nature te create and fashion itself, it docs net fellow that it required the same for the Lord te accomplish His creative work. It may be qnite as reverent, te say the least, te allow that by an act of the omnipotent crcative energy, the coal scains, the slates, the limestone formations or the metallic rocks could have been made just as we find them, without the neces sary lapse et ages. Se the present existence of historic man may scientifically rcquire manifold develop ments through geologic ages, before he could be set free, by seme happy fortuity as the survival of the fittest in this histo ric period. The old time faith and solid common sense might seem te be unpuilo unpuile unpuilo sephical when it claims that Ged made man ou a definite day of creation, framing him then a material body and breathing into his nostrils the breath of life thus man become at ence under Ged's hands a living soul. The facts of science knew nothing of this work, and thcrefore in is thought te be unscientific net te held the divine Creater te a slower work of many ages, in the necessity of developing man from a protoplasm through the animal life of nature traced back te seme remote point or particle or molecule of common dirt. Biology is a prolific source of specula tive study. Led only by its own dim light, the materialistic philosopher has been challenging seme of nature's hidden mys teries. But crcative wisdom cannot thus be forced into open gaze by irreverent if notprefano exposure. Neither the tclc tclc tclc scope can draw into man's field of vision all the mysteries of creation ; nor cm the microscepo open up the minute folds of covering, which envelop some of the most sacred, and therefore the most secret op erations of nature. All beginnings of life are hidden away beyond the ken of in quisitivc man. Because man resolves for the sake of mere rational curiosity te leek into the arcana of the reeessas of life's veiled chambers, that he may knew its fontal peweis, the angel haviug a flaming sword is set te guard with special care and protect the springing birth of vitality from being dragged forth te public view. Even vegetable life, in its germinal func tions, is shrouded in impenetrable dark ness. By instinct, tee, birds hide their nests ; aud some animals secrete their yeuug for a season. The mero sacred fountain of human life is impenetrably hedged about, se that prying biologists are left at last te a vague cucss, only as te whether its protoplasm is material devel epment, or a result of spontaneous gencr-J atien el life-power from what just before was net life. The holy of holies is net in tended for man's profanation. Four thousand years age the Lord an swered Jeb out of the whirlwind and said : " Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge '.' Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Who laid the measure thereof, declare if thou knewest ? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened ? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof ; when the morning stars sang together aud all the sons of Ged shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doers, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb ? When I made the cloud the garment thereof and thick darkness a swaddling baud for it, aud btakc up for it my de creed place, and set bars and doers, and said : ' Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further ; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed ?' Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days : aud caused the day spring te knew his place ? I last thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? Where is the way where light dwclleth ? and as for darkness where is the place thereof that thou sheuldest take it te the bound thereof? Hast thou entered into the treasures et the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail ? By what way is the light parted ? Hath the rain a father ? or who hath be gotten the drops of dew?" He that reprevcth Ged, let him answer it! What is true is net new, and what is new is net true. We still have some old things worthy of respeet. Araeug- these venerable elders are the dead languages albeit some would only keep liiem as they keep fossil specimens, en the sbxj:s. The old methods and the old teacuRgs claim our filial regard. The old philosophies are net these that are least vigorous, both as te metaphysical grasp and meial vcrte bral strength. If there were heroes before Agememnen, it is quite possible that there was rather respectable wisdom be- fore these last days of mental demoraliza tion. The old faith at least remains, though the ether foundations be shaken. Conservative common sense may have its place and vocation in the thought and 1 science of the most advanced kind. It has ks work te de in modifying, regulating, clarifying, chrystalizing and strengthen ing the thought and science of te-day. A man is net a feel if he uses his common sense in support of faith, when assaulted by the pretentiens of scientific specula tions. Old style common sense is a geed balance te what has net been well tested. Intuitive judgments, common sense and rational thought must try the speculative inductions and claim our credence. Mean while, we stand by revealed truth and ad mit the facts of scieuce as furnishing a geed basis for the highest conceptions of puiiosepny. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom ; and te knew Jesus Christ in the power of His resurrection is mero than all ether science ; for te this must all science come.
