The glory of humanity that rose there in a sinless Adam went down behind the dense foliage of the tree of knowledge; set .in gloom as n'sinful Adam - -trenched in the shadow_ to hide from the eyes of auoffende'a God.

All men carry in their hearts a vague sense of primal perfection in conjunc tion with a clear sense of present dis order. Of the first—of the _sense of primal perfection—we find a remark able witness in•- • the, languages , of Greece and Rome in the use of words signifying " order " and ". elegance " to designate the present material world—a world of sash manifest dis order and unloveliness that the sharp, practical eye of the poet Lucretius could find in it no evidence of a de si7nin7 mind, no trace of final causes anywhere existing, but only proofs.of the gigtuitie conixditiciits and cata clysms of a blind - Chance: And yet to the more spiritual vision of Py thagoras sash glorious gleams and correlated picture's of grace and beau ty- broke through its . present disor ders that he called it "Cosmos `While to some Routaii of tenderly poetic soul it appeared as ,"anunclus,' ""ekganlia."' Aiiiivrialo men in all ages have held theOpinerrof a Para dise lost, at the 'same time they have held the hope and confidence that it would some day be regained. If there bloomed nu Paradise iu the present, at least, there had been „one in the past and there *Waited anoth 6. in .the future. Solue`where .it yet must bloom or was bloinning; if not in their own land or about their own doors; yet in the distance—iu the. happy Iran—among the remote Hy perboreans--in the-far land . of . the blameless : Ethlopiani. does the expectation of a more glo rious time in. the future stand forth with strength and vividness in the. religion of the ancient Persiami: .

Let its. look , for a moment this morning at the condition of its me ridian-fulness and eompleteness I This condition is "Christian Cul ture "—the truths, inethfids, institu-. tioes and habitudes of - the Christian religion-1 I. cannot pause.to. point, • out, bow this culture relates-to the lower vile- - ments of man's nature—to his—physi cal and intellectuld wears antgiterd ties.This is an interesting igudy, and • one_for which Much light Might be gathered from contemporaneous European . events; time will permit me only to show. the effect of this cul ture upon the higher moral •natire. 'this is the final, ultimate element, lying back of the others and effectn sting them by its energy and. BUM:m ing them with its light. .A men Might reach a high pitch of physical or In tel:emus) development, and yet be only a splendid animal or .a refined demon; on the other hand the Cra tere of the moral nature 'secures by' necessity the elevation and • refine ment of both body and soul. &id culture necessitates body-culture. If the soul be a temple of the Holy Ghost it throws the halo of its purity and the majesty of its dignity over the entire material organism. As to the intellect it is undeniable that the soundest minds are those whose in stincts are moral, and whose process es and judgments are controlled by =moral laws and based* on moral grounds. The highest genius is a genius of conscience. The noblest minds of all ages are those which have been inspired and swayed by the powers of the world to come. Now if thishe• true, it is self-evi dent that, man can never reach his highest glory until this element of his nature is disciplined and develop ed in all its powers and aspects; tin til his spiritual nature assumes its primal place as tho director of his whole being. It-is right hero that all other schemes of Education have failed; this is , the. - rock - upon which they have all split. Consider ono or two prominent examples: Forty cen turies ago, before Home or Athens or even Troy was founded, the patri arch AlAnham went down 'from the land of Canaan into the valley of the Nile, and found it inhabited by a mighty people. In respect of their, knowledge of the nseful arts and the principles of agriculture they were completely civilized—far in advance in many ways of any science and art this , boasted age is possessed of. Their -laws were wisely framed—their institutions reasonably free—their style of living elegant. All this we know from the records of t-ciipture and from the inscriptions and deco rations which remain upon their tombs and temples until this day. Here beside the Nile, now almost de serted, was the utmost.splexidor of combined material and intellectual culture the world has ever seen. ' Every school-boy knows what follow ed. The civilization of Egyptripen ed into monstrous corruption—her tremendous strength by degrees was impaired, and wasted--her institu tions of science and elegant learning went to utter ruin; until at last the swords of the Caliph, the Mameluke and the Turk severed the sceptre of the Pharaohs and. the sands of the Libyan desert rolled over and buried the splendid temples of vis and Osi ris. Take a more modern illustra thin: Within the present century ....there has sprung up yi India tvsplen did empire, opulent in all the tree 'sures of tropical nature and.of orien tal art. - The founders of this empire resolved at the be?inein7 to ' secure . its.development by meansef the ap pliances of science and civilization alone AU means of strictly Chris tian, culture were carefully ,- uncom promisingly ezelfided. . So rigorons;. ly was theresolution carried out that it _le upon record that ' , within fi fty yeara a converted Sepoi of the Brah min caste wee expelled' the British army for the crime Of having em braced Christianity. You know the ac ( 1 1 , 131 . It was Written thirteen years ago in fire and blood. It is a most significant fact that just where this godless material prosperity*Sort sitemssfully secured,. there the or ror fth oe rebellion - were mos ap plifling;7-and that among the most diabolical-leaders in these strocithis, were the- cultivated heathen''whom the governinea had sought to pre serve from the , contvi e n of.

So obvious and disgraceful was the failure of this 'atheistical expeiiment, that the Lon don Times • was ; forced - to say that henceforth India must be hold for Christianity and 'Now why the& utter failtireti of mZre Material Mid intelleotrial nation ? The only satisfactory answer is, froie. waneettlie moral influences of Christianity.

Everything charactermtic our modern crviliz' ation--idtthe ideas and principles`-of the broadening mind of our age—are sought to be trampled ander foot of the woman in purple and scarlet. In Central . Eu rope a bold and powerful effort has been put fOrtli.to check the industri al, intellectual_ and religious progrese of a great people, and to fasten upon Europe the effete, insulting 'doctrine l ot Otesarisni. It is a matter ,of de vout thankfulness to-day that God has hold these audacious attempts in derision; that He has Overwheluied the papacy with confusion in the se cret haunts of the Vatican' ; aid has' plucked the temporal crown from her head; while blowing Clcsaiisin to atoms by the Weapons of cultured brains and a self-respectful manhood. It seems as if this year had gone far to settle for all Europe the answer to the question, "What of the night:" The morning cOmeth; yea, it has come in faint dawn,4treais to Ger- - many and Italy, and it will soon burst in glory over the environed Walls of humbled Paris. It bas Come to some peoples, it is coming-, to all in the truth that makes men free—in a free Bible, a° free church, a free manhood, and a free state. , It is sad that in oul: own laud, where Christianity has taken such deep root and borne such glorious fruit, that 'we shouldhe compelled at this day to resiseits overthrow. One would suppose that if there be any fact demonstrated by history and . Worthy efall acceptation, it is • that "happy is that people Whose God is the Lord "; that if our sons are to be as plants grown up in their youth— ,our daughters as corner- stones pol- IshM after the similitude of a pal su.,v7-our garners fall,' affording all manner - Of Store; that if there is' to be no breaking in nor going out and, no complaining in our • streets, we must first as a nation make the law of God our delight and guide, and the glory of God our end and glory. Proclaimed as this truth has been for us during the last decade by the .rhythmic tread of armed men, the thunders of fraternal strife; the groans of thedying and the whiling of the broken-hearted, we would reasonably sappos4that it would need uolarther iteration and sargument. And Yet never in the history, of our country have the assaults of evil against the bulwarks of our nation's strength and glory been more blatant, powerful, persistent (I may say successful), than during the past year. Chris tianity, as a form of religion and as a form of culture, has-been beset on every side. "cannon to right of them, Cannon to loft. f them, Cannon in front of them Volleyed and thundered. Aye, worse than elj e "cannow behind them—treachery within the camp of Christ—foes, malignant and power ful, within the very precincts of the church. • The Bible—the School— the the C urch—the Family; all have been' • ultaneously .assailed.
