TUB SNEERS OF INOEItSOLL.
A Powerful Argument In Behsll of the Oee-
p.l at the Old and N.TUmiil
casta It Net An Argramsnt The
ftlj sterlet of Life and Death.
Extract Irem North American Kevlew for
aluy.
The reply that of Mr. Ingeraell abounds
In undemenatrated prepositions. They sp
pear, however, te be delivered without any
sense of a neeesslty that eltber experience
or reasoning are required In order te Rive
them title of acceptance. Thus, for ex
ample, the system or Mr. Darwin te hurled
against Christianity as a dart whleb oannet
but be fatal.
' His discoveries, carried te their legiti
mate conclusion, deitrey the oreeds and
sacred scriptures of mankind."
This wide sweeping preposition la Im
posed upon us with no exposition of the
hew or tbe why ; and the whole contro centro contre
vetsyof belief one might suppose la te be
determined, as If from St Petersburg, by
series of ukases. It Is only advanced,
indeed, te decor Ate the Introduction of Dar
win's name In anr pert of tbe preposition,
which 1 certainly should support and net
corneal, that error and honesty are compat
ible. On what ground, than, and for what rea
en, la tbe system et Darwin fatal te scrip
tures and te creeds T I de net enter Inte
the quoallen wbetber It has pasted from the
stage of working hypothesis Inte that of
demonstration, but I assume, for the pur
pose of the argument, all that In this re re
spect the reply can dealt.
Xt Is net possible te discover, from the
random language of tbe reply, whether tbe
scheme of Darwin Is te sweep away all
theism or is te be content with extinguish
ing revealed religion. 11 the latter lc meant,
1 should reply that tbe moral history of
rasa, In Its principal stream, bat been dis
tinctly an evolution from the first until
new, and that tbe succinct though grand
aoeount or the Creation In Genesis is singu
larly accordant with tbe ssme idea, but Is
wider than Darwinism, since It Includes in
tbe grand progression the Inanimate world
as well as the history of organisms. But as
this could net be shown without much de
tail the reply reduces me te the necessity
et following Its own unsatisfactory example
In tbe bald form of an assertion, that there
Is no oelorable ground for assuming evolu
tion and revelation te be at variance with
one another.
If, however, the meaning be that theism
is swept away by Darwinism, I observe
that, as before, we bnveenlyan unreasoned
dogma or dlelum te deal with, and, dealing
pei force with tbe unknown, we are tn dan
ger et striking at a will of the wisp, Still, I
venture en remarking that the doctrine et
evolution lias acquired both pratse and dls-
firalta which it does net deserve, It is
auded In tbe skeptleal uamp because It Is
supposed te get rid of the allecking Idea of
what are termed sudden sets et creation ;
and It Is as unjustly dispraised en tbe oppos
ing Bide, because it Is thought te bridge
ever the gap between man and the Inferior
animals, and te give cinpbaMa te tbe rela
tionship between tbein. Hut leug before
the day of either Mr. Darwin or his grand
father, Dr. Erasmus Darwin, this relation
ship hart been slated, perhaps even mere
emphstleslly by one whom, were tc net
that I have small title te deal In uudemon uudemen
atrated assertion, I should venture te call
the most cautious, tbe most robust and the
most comprehensive et our philosophers.
One striking elTdct et tbe Darwinian
theory of descent Ik, se far as I understand,
te reduce tbe breath of all Intermediate
distinctions in the scale et animated Ilia.
It does net bring all creatures into a single
lineage, but all d 1 vendues are te be traced
baak, at some point In tbe scale and by
stages indefinitely minute, te a common
ancestry. All la done by step", netblng ey
strides, leaps, or bounds; all from proto
plasm up te Shakespeare, and, again, and
trem primal night and obses up te proto
plasm. I de net ask, and am Incompetent
te judge, whether this Is among the things
proved, but I take it se for the sake et ar
gument ; and I ask, first, why and where
by does this doctrine eliminate tbe Idea of
creation 7 Dees tlie new philosophy teaeb
that If tbe passage trem pure repthe te pure
bird la achieved by a spring (he te speak)
ever a chasm, tbls imrles and requires
creation ; but It teat reptlle passes
into blid, and rudiment Inte finish
el bird, by a tLeusind slight and
but Just discernible modifications, each
one of tbeae is se small that they are net
entitled te a name se lefty, may be set
down te any cau90 or no cause, as we please.
I should have buppoxed It miserably un
philosophical te treat tbe distinction be
tween creative and non-creative function
as a simply quantitative distinction. As
respects the subjective efiect en tbe buman
mind, creation In small, wlien closely re
garded, awakens reason te admiring won
der; net leBs than creation In great ; and as
regards that function itself te me It appear
no less than ridiculous te heli that tbe
broadly outllned and large advances of se
called Mnsalsm are creatiun, but tbe refined
and stealthy onward steps of Darwinism
are only manufacture, and relegate the
question et a cause into obscurity, Insig
nificance or oblivion.
But does net reason really require us te
go farther, te turn tbe tables en tee adver
sary, and te contend that evolution by bow
much It binds mero closely together the
myriad ranks of tbe living, aye, and or all
ether orders, by se mueb tne mere consoli
dates, enlarges and enhances tbe true argu.
ment et deslicn, and the entire tbelstla
position T If orders are net mutually re
lated, It is easier te conceive of tbem as
sent at haphazard Inte tbe world. We may,
indeed, sufficiently draw an argument et
design from each separate structure, but
W bave no further title te build upon the
rinsltten wbleh eaeh of them holds as
towards any ether. But when tbe oonneo eonneo oenneo
tlonbeC'veen these objects has been estab
lished, and e established that tbe points et
transition are Mmest as Indiscernible as
tbe passage from day te night, then, Indeed,
eaeh proceeding stage Is a propheey of tbe
following, and eaeh succeeding one Is a
memorial of tbe past, and tbrougbeut the
Immeasurable series, every single member
of it Is a witness te all tbe rest.
Te tbis very partial treatment 01 h great
subject I mnst at present confine myself;
and I proceed te another et the notions, as
confident as they seem te be crude, which
tbe reply has drawn Inte Its wide casting
net:!
"Why should Ged demand a sacrifice
from man? Why Bbeuld the Infinlte Bsk
anytblng from tbe flniteT Should tbe
sun beg of tbe glow worm, and should
the momentary spark excite the envyef the
source of light?"
Tbls Is one et the cases in which happy
or sbewy illustration Is, in the replyjoelere
me, set te carry with a rush the position
Which argument would have te approach
mere laboriously and mere slowly. Tbe
case of tbe glow worm with tbe sun cannot
but move a reader's pity, It seems se very
iard. But let us suppose for a moment that
thtf glow worm was se constituted, and se
related te tbe sun that an Interaction be
tween t.'ieru was a fundamental condition
of Its healiVi and life ; that tbe glow worm
must, by tbe law of Its nature, like the
moon, reflect upon tbe sun, sccerdlng te Its
atrengtb and measure, tbe light which it
receives, and that only by a process invelv.
Ina that reflection It own store of vitality
could be upheld T It will be said that this
Is a very large petHIe te Impert Inte the
dnv wnrm'a ease. Yes. but It is the very
petltle which la absolutely requisite la
order te make It parallel te the case et tbe
Obristian. The argument whleh the reply
has te destroy is and must be tbe Obristian
argument, and net soma figure of straw,
fabricated at will.
Although the reply Is net care'ul te sup
ply us with whys, it does net hesitate te
ask for them ;
i' Why sbenld an Infinitely wise and
- nnwh-lul Ged destroy tbe geed and pre
Larva tbO vile T Why should lie treat all
iik har and in another world make an
feflnlt). dlflereuce T Why should your Ged
allow His werfcblpr8ri Ul" adorers, te be
Seyedby HUnoenlesT Why should
He allow the honest, tha loving, the noble
te perish at tbe stake V
fte upholders et belief or el nveUUen
cannot and de net seek te dray that tha
methods of divine government, as they are
exhibited by experience, present te us
many and varied moral problems, insoluble
by our understanding. Their existence may
net nod should net be dissembled. But
neither should they be exaggerated. New
exaggeration by mere suggestion la tbe fault,
tbe glaring fault, or these queries. One
who had no knowledge et mundane affairs
beyond tbe conception they inslnnate
wenld assume that, as a rule, evil baa tbe
upperhend In the management of the world,
la this the grave philosophical oeaoluslon
of a careful observer, or Is It a or ado, hasty
and esrelese overstatement 7
It la net difflealt te conceive hew, in times
of smdnees and of storm, when tbe Buffering
soul can dlsesrn no light at any point et the
borlsen, place Is found for such en idea of
Ufa. It w, of course, opposed te tbe Apes
tolle dtolsratlen that godllntae bath the
premise et tbe life that new is, but I am
net te expect inch e declaration te be ac
cepted aa current coin, even of the meanest
value, by tbe author of tbe reply. Yet I wilt
offer two observations founded en experi
ence in support et It, one taken from a limi
ted, another from a larger and mere open
sphere. Jehn Wesley in tbe full prime of his
mission warned tbe convert whom be was
making among English laborers or a spirit
ual danger that lay far ahead. It was that,
becoming godly, they wenld become careful,
and, becoming careful, they would be
come wealthy. It was a Just and sober
forecast, and ft represented' with truth tbe
general rule of life, altbeupb It be a rule
perplexed with exceptions. But ir this be
tee narrow a sphere or observation, let us
take a wider one, tbe widest el all. It Is
comprised in the brier statement tbat
Christendom rnlea the world, and rules It,
perhaps It should be added, by the posses
sion or a vast eurplus of material aa well as
moral force. Therefore ihe assertions car
ried by Implication in tbe queries of the
reply, whleb are general, are because
general untrue, although they might have
been true wltbln these prudent limitations
wbleh tbe method of this reply appears es
pecially te eschew.
Taking, then, these challenges as they
ought te bave been given, 1 admit that
great believers, who bave been also great
masters of wisdom and knowledge, are net
able te explain tbe Inequalities of adjust
ment between human beings and tbe con
ditions In wbleh they bave been set down
te work out their destiny. The climax et
these Inequalities la perhaps te be round In
tbe fact tbat, whereas rational belief viewed
at large, rounds tbe providential govern
ment or tbe world upon the hypothesis or
free agency, there are se many cases In
whleh tbe overbearing mastery of circum
stance appears te red uee It te extinction or
paralysis. New in one sense, without
doubt these difficulties ate matter for
our legitimate and necessary cogni
zance. It Is a duty Incumbent upon,
us respectively, acoerdlng te our
means and opportunities, te decide for
eurselve, by the use of the faculty of
reason given us, tbe great questions et
natural and revealed religion. They are te
be decided aoeordlng te tne evldonee; and
If we cannot trim the evidence Inte a con
sistent whole, then according tolhebalanee
of the evidence. We are net entitled,
either for or against belief, te set up In this
province any rule of investigation, except
aueb as common sense teaabes us te use In
tbe ordinary oenduct of lire. As In ordi
nary conduct, se in considering the basis
of belief, we are bound te leek at tbe
evidence as a whole. We bave no right te
demand demonstrative proofs or the re
moval or all conflicting elements, either In
the sphere ei in the ether. What guides
us suifieient In matters of common praetlce
has the very same authority te guide us in
matters of speculation; mere properly, per
haps, te be called the praetlce or the soul.
By Its contempt for authority the reply
seema te cut oil from us alt knowledge
tbat Is net at first hand ; but then
also It seems te assume an original
and first band knowledge or all
possible kinds or things. I will take an
instance, all the easier te deal with because
It Is outside tbe Immediate sphere of con
troversy. In ene of these pleees et flue
writing with which the reply abounds It la
determined ebittr by a back banded stroke
that Sbakeapeare la " by far tbe greatest et
thehuimn race. " 1 dj net fl entitled
te assert that be i net ; but bow vast
Bnd complex a question Is here determined
for us In tbls airy manner 1 Has tbe writer
of tbe reply really weighed tbe force and
measured tbe sweep of his own words 1
It Is my fault or my mlsfortune te re
mark In this reply an inaccuracy of refer
ence which would of Itself Bufilue te render
it remarkable. Christ, we are told, de
nounced the chosen people of Ged ss "a gen
eration et vipers." This phrase is applied
by tbe Baptist te tbe crowd wbe came te
seek baptism from him ; but It 1 only ap
plied by our Lord te scribes or pharlsees,
who are se commonly plaoed by Him in
oentrast with the people. The error la re
peated in the mention et whlted sepul
chers. Take again the version or tbe
story or Ananias and Stppblra, We
are told that tbe apostles conceived
the Idea " et baying all things in common."
In the narrative there la no statement, no
suggestion or tbe kind ; It Is a pure Inter
polation. Motives et a reasonable prudence
are stated as matter or fact te bave influ
enced tbe offending couple another pure
Interpolation. After tbe catastrophe of
Ananias " tbe apostles sent for bis wife "
a third Interpolation. I refer only te these
points as exhibitions of an habltusl and
dangerous Inaccuracy, and without any at
tempt at present te discuss the case, In
wbleh tbe judgments of Qed are exhibited
en their severer side, and In which I can.
net, like tbe reply, undertake summarily
te determine for whatcauses tbe Almighty
should or should net take Ufa or delegate
tbe power te take It.
Again, we bave tbese words given as a
quotation from the Bible :
"They wbe believe and are baptized shall
be saved, and they wbe bellved net Bball be
damned ; and tbese shall go away Inte
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and
nis angeis."
Tbe seoend clause thus reads as If appli
cable te tbe persons mentioned In the first
tbst Is te say, te these who reject the tidings
or the Gospel. But instead or Its being a
continuous passage tbe latter seotlen Is
brought out or another gospel (St. Mat
thew's) and another connection ; and It la
really written, net el these who de net be
Hove, but of these wbe refuse te perform
cilices et charity te their neighbor in bis
need. It would be wrong te eall tbls in
tentional misrepresentation ; but can It be
called lesa than somewhat reckless negli
gence ?
-A llelsctlTe Flue Uanei s a fire.
Tbls morning about 3 o'clock the In
habitants of Gorden vllle were awakened by
an alarm et fire. The blaze was found te
be In Uersbey Jc Brether's store. After an
hour's work tbe flames were extinguished,
A great amount of Beet had collected in the
flue, and had very nearly closed It.
There bad been no fire In tbe beater since
Thursday last, and It is supposed tbat it
was smeuldei tog since then. The pipe of
tbe beater did net fit up Inte the flue, and
when this started It burned en until It bad
burned a girder, of considerable thickness,
eh at tbe end. But little damage was done.
A roan sleeping In an adjoining tenement
discovered It and gave the alarm.

"When Christ, who is evor lire, aball ap

At Millet's Sesp Works.
This morning a terrible scalding seel
dent, In which a young man made a narrow
escape trem losing his lire, occurred at the
Miller sesp works, in the southern part et
the oily. The name or Ihe Injured young
man la Miles Shorts, who ler a number of
years has been employed at the factory.
Between 7 and-8-o'clock he Was standing en
a beard across the top of a large kettle
filled with nlgre, whleh Is oem posed tf
lye and caustic soda, and was sesldtng het.
He wss engsged in removing a covering ter
the kettle, which was above, when suddenly
the beard en whleh he was standing broke,
The kettle was about 15 leet deep, but there
waa only lour rest or the mixture in It
Inte this the young man fell en his lett
side. He caught held et the ateam pipe
and tried te crawl up It, but waa finally
rescued byFrank Sharp and JebnScheuIng,

tar up as the calves, and his lelt band and
forearm were terribly acaldedjCauslng great
pain. Tbe Injuries are very sarleua and
cause a great shook te the system, but the
young msn is net believed te be In a
