A " Member of the New York Bar," a Pres
byterian, it is said, is the author Of a little work
on the two leading theological controversies of
the d a y. In the first part, called Tua 'DIVINE
HUMAN IN THE INCARNATE AND WRITTEN
Wont), he takes ground against the orthodox
view of the plenary inspiration and entire accu
racy of the Word of God. The main line of ar
gument is, that there 'is a human ar.fallible
iu union with a divine and infallible one,
all through the Scriptures. But error, falsehood
and darkness are not human ;,they are inhuman.
In so far as the , Bible is a thoroughly human
book, we have as'much right to infet;its accuracy
RA to infer the accuracy of a truly divine book.
We must prefer Tayler Lewis's fine treatise on
ti e same topic. The second part, containing SomE
Titortaing ON THE ATONEMENT OLDER, THAN
THE ntaiiiis devoted to a review of the " met._
( , mtile theory of. the Atonement, and' of the
theory of an ess'erttial antagonism between the
Divine Attributes" of jtistice and Mercy. The
li , lok is not written in the reverent spirit that we
had expected, and its publication will hardly do
iiiuch to cast light on ktilifutlifi'it discusses.

PHILADELPHIA_, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1869.
One of the " early ripe " of the ministry, Rev.
Henry James of Albany, has had a memorial
erected by loving hands. Two fine and charac
teristic sermons of his are prefaced by a sketch
of his life from the pen of Dr. Sprague, and of
his character from that of Rev. Henry Neill.
He must have been a most desirable friend and
pastor, and we trust that these sermons arya let
tern will widen the circle of those who mourn the
loss sustained by the Church in his death. We
may -Surely say with Howe,—" How grand the
resources of God, when He whb had fashioned
and formed such an iiistftirtient for His service,
could afford so quickly to lay it aside." The first
sermon, and' that frotn whidh the book takes its
nartie--- L. HE ARRIAGE OF - THE KING'S SON—
does not, we think, distinguish clearly between
the Scriptttral doctrine of the , marriage of the
Church to Christ, and the Renalah lieresy of the
espousal of indiVidual' sbula.ito' Christ, h'

him almost the entire :history: hangs. He was
the first and , most prominent :victim ,of, St.. Bar.

laity of the truly religious Hugnenots He was
more fully in correspondence with Calvin than
was any other of the French Thus
he may well occupy: the central position and
give name to such an historical , work. :The
history, is occupied with the period of sixty years,
from:lsl2 to 1572. Romanists, ,extretn'e and
moderate, Protestants and sceptics, have been
consulted as authorities. All ,agree as ,'to the
lofty, character of the Admiral. What should
give greater interest to his name, in this country,
are the early attempts trlire,h - Coligny made to
found Protestant colonies , in-" America. The
story is ably told, the style is vigorous, and "the
work, as, prob kbly the only' original life of" the

—Forty two years ago Christian merchant

were devoted to the evangelization of the
Japanese. True, .:they :had - kheir gates closed,
rudely and fiercely, agaitist the Christian world.;
but the _Lord could open them, whenever the
" set time" should come. The merchant left
Brookline ro
. 1829, and sailed for Europe, whence
he did not permanently rkurn till 1842 . ; but the
ladies' sewing circle, forined in connection with
those monthly concert's, was continued, notwith
standing the persistent policy of isolation adopted
by the Japanese government. This association
kept" alive, during many yeats, the interest
which had arisen so unexpectedly, and mure
than six hundred duliarswere, in the end, paid
into the treasury of the Board. The Christian
merchant who inautrurated that monthly concert
at Brookline, so widely known and SQ highly es

—A fierce persecution has been raging against

twenty or, thirty of these, Protestants were influ
enced by threats and bribes to join in a great
parade of the enemies of their religion. , The
- 7 -
fo lowing singular scene occurred :-tine woman
missed her husband. She had tried to keep
him secreted, knowing that he was very weak;
and when she discovered that they had taken
him, she ran down the hill after him, seized
him and drew him back with her, even though
she received curses, and kicks and blows from
those who tried to prevent her. She shouted
out, at the top of her voice, when she first took
hold of him, addressing him with something like
these words : "Is this what you learn from
the Word of God ? Is this all the good your
religion has done you? Last night you dreamed
that your dead brother came in the form of the
devil, wearing black, and tried to induce you to
go ack to the Greek Church. There is the
devil surely, in his black c'othes (pointing to the
bishops and priests), who has come to take* you
back. May God have mercy on your soul."
And so she ; drew .him back to,the litinge after
her, and the procession went on to, the church
with the unwilling captives. Even after their
deep persecutions', these CtrriStiins persevele in
the; one duty from which they might• well be
excused, that ~of giving. Mr. Samuel Jessup,

SPECTRUM ANALYSIS.
[feord: a:resuine'ia tkO nibttne of Roscoe's late work.]
In 1859, two German chermats, Bunsen and
Kirchoff, working .together, dis Covered that each
ehemibal element, , when burning in a flame, emits
alight which,
,when,passed through, a prism, and
forming a spectrnm, has lines or marks peculiar to
itself. These lines reighthe tact), therefore, as 1169
properties of the elements, arid could be . used' to
distinguish and .deteet' them. ' It is only in the
condition of: vapor .that !the elements produce
their peculiar, lines. If platinum wire, a solid,
be heated to whiteness ; and its light, passed
through a prism, it"eaves a coetiLuous spec
trum; bat if' platinurn 'ba` VaPorized by ' the
electric current, ita - 4eCtriirn becomes broken,
and:itere 'is a s:ries of bright lines e . :epaiiited by
varying intervals of . darkness. If zinc be va
porized, it gives beahiiiiil bands of red and blue,
while vapor of sodium givea yellOw lines
situated close. to each other. • A,new and most
delicate mode of nhemical analysi4 was thus
found, and the very first result obtained by it was
the disiovery Of several hitherto ,unknown chemi
cal 'eleine,nts. Prof Bunsen; in 'examining 'The
ash left after the' evaporation of. some mineral
water, discoveted.lines which did not appear' to
belong to any known element. Ile then boi!ed
down 44 tuns of this water, and from the mine
ral` reSidite he extracted, two new metals reaemb
ling potash, one of which he named Rizbidiaria,
because it , gave a dark red line, and the other
emsium; from its producing a bluish-gray line.
The lines produced by the burning vapors of
the ,eleinents• are variously colored; but always,
bright, with dark iuterspaces; but in the spec
trum of the sun arid,stars . this is exactly reversed,
the lines being dark and the spaces bright.
Kirchoff explained this Ina itifully on the prin
ciple. of, absorption, which we, will try to illus
trate. If we go into a glass store with a violin
and preduce.a tone by drawing the bow egress
one' of the strings, certain of the glass vessels
will be set singing; they will Cat& fup and give
out the same musical note which proceeds' from
the violin. But only those vessels will 'do' this
which are capable of vibrating in unison with
the string, or of giving out the same note that
they' receive. In this case the sound of the string
is said to be absorbed • by the' vessels which are
capable of emitting only vibrations. of the same
rate. Supposing now we have a candle flame
containing sodium vapor, which gives the bright
yellow lines in its spectrum. If then we take an
electric light, which is' of course very much
brighter, and containing also sodium vapor, and
let it:shine through the candle-flame, the bright
yellow lines .do not change their position, but
they instantly turn dark." The explanation is
that the candle-fiarne absorbed the same "rays that
it gave out— that is, it stopped the bright sodium
rays of the electric light, and, letting all the others
pass, the contrast becomes so great in. the specti um
that the lines• of absorption appear as clink lines
Now in the sun it is supposed that there are two
sources of light, an external photosphere, and an
inner nucleus of intenser brightness, so that the
intenser light from the inner source undervoes
absorption as it passes through the outer sphere,
and henpe the solar lines appear dark. A beau
tiful verification of, this principle is furnished by
a disCovery of Lockyer and Jansen that front the
very Miter edge of the sun, and consequently
where we -do not get the, rays from ,the nucleus,
the solar spectrum gives bright lines; this outer
sphere is therefore termed the chromosphere.
The constitution of the sun is now held to be
proved by spectrum analysis—that is, we know
to a moral certainty that certain elements exist
ing on the earth exist also here. The spectrum
of iron vapor, for example, gives us sixty or
seventy bright lines. If now we place this be
side the solar spectrum, the bright lines are
found exactly to correspond to a system of dark
lines in number, breadth, position, and interspaces
—a coincidence, that. Sixteen of the elenfients
we know upon earth are thug found to exist in
the sun. The spectra of the "stars have been
studied with great assiduity and Success by Fa
ther Secchi of Rome, Mr. 'lupins of London, and
Mr. Rutherford of this city. About eighty lines
in the speetruin'of the star Aldebaran have been
mapped, and it has been shown tocontain sodium,
magnesium, hydrogen, biatb 7
utli tellurium anti
mony,, and mercury,While Sirius gives indications
of the presence of sodiuiii, iriaaaesium, iron, and
hydrogen. '
But the uses of spectrum analysis are not con
fined to original chemical research ; it has prac
tical aPplications which should not pass un
noticed. In the Beshemee process of converting
cast-iron into steel it is of great value. Cast iron
differs from steel in containing more carbon, and
is Made into steel by barning out; the carbon by
means of a blast of atmospheric air sent through
the,white hot; molten mass: ' Five tuns of cast
iron, by this process, are converted in twenty
minutes into "cast steel. - The success of the
.
operation depends upon the blast being stopped
at the right moment, for' if fliscontinued too
soon
or
mass becomes too viscid to be poured
out, or if continued too icing it crumbles under
the hammier.' By the aid of the spectroscope the
appearance and disavpearance of the lines in the
flame afford an exact index to the progress of the
combustion.,; This instrunient' is also proving a
valuable ally to jiL..tice in its eiidence in criminal
eases: - It detects with unerring certainty even
the one.thousandth part of a grain of the red
coloring' matter of 'a' blood stain.'
—A valuable diScovery was accidentally mule
bisa workman in France, who, some little time
ago, in varnishing various , pieces of metal, scorch
ed himself most dreadfully. In his agony, and
without an, instant's reflection, he thrust his in
jured hand into the pot containing the varnish,
and immediately felt relieved as if by enchant
ment. Ire repeated the operation for a day or
two, and in a Short time WAS
,Tierfectly cured.
The discovery attracted c . ens,lderable attention in
the neighborhood.. He was sent.for to Metz to
cure some Men injured by a powder explosion ;
and, being successful, he was directed to apply his
cure. tri patients in the hospitals of Paris,
where
his treatment for burns was soon, found to be
more efficient than the old method.
