MODERN" SKEPTICISM. “The fool hath said in his heart there is no Gcd.” This strong expression of the Psalmist of Israel would imply that atheism struck its roots into Jewish soil, as it has at subsequent periods in Christian. It is indeed a fungous growth in any clime and in all seasons. The' primsry effort'of corrupt man has ever been to ignore' the existence of a God, to rule out his throne, and enter a demurrer against his pro vidence. Beason has been . settled on the pedestaj of human pride, and men have offered sacrifice to it. Natnre has been apostrophized as the chosen deity, and bards have sung her praises as though she were a sentient being and not the mere spring which is set in motion by'the Almighty. In the climax of its mad ness our race has summoned to its aid what it is pleased to denominate “'the higher law,” a species of manufactured jargon whose only meaning, if it be susceptible of interpretation, is that passion and emotion are the only true leaders of. our nature, and that instinct is the guiding pillar while we travel through the wil derness of time, blow, whatever be the creed, it is only a modification of the skepticism pre valent in the time of David. “The foal hath said in his heart there is no God.” Powerful but deserved epithet. Be the mental acquire ments of the unbeliever what they may; though he measure the stars with the golden wand of Copernicus, or botanize like Linnaeus, or sing seraphically Kke Handel, he is a 1001. He has to acquire the first rudiments of wisdom. Yes, the man who can analyze his own frame and study its functional arrangement, and yet not recognize Jehovah’s handiwork—the man who can feel the operations of conscience anti depose the vicegerbnt of God as an intruder-4- the man who represses his longings for the pure and the infinite and t.he undying as vaga ries which should be dissipated by the absorb ing pursuits or the tinsel glare of pleasure, who seals his heart hermetically lest one holy spiration should give the lie to his formula of arkness—such a man has made the final re unciation of right reason. He has cast away the bower-anchor of a sound judgment. He has set sail upon a northern Ocean where the chilling breath of the iceberg will benumb his eartand all its energies for goodness, and where the barriers of snow must shut him in at last from the greenness and beauty of the sun lit plain. He has truly committed himself to a moral arctic expedition whence his return to the flowers of hope is almost a stem, a blank impossibility. And as the philanthropic ad venturer has gone out from his own warm clime to bring home some missing navigator in those fearful seas,so Christian hearts should endeavor T?-i r f C^''tn a warmer an d sunnier region of Bible faith those who have been so utterly misguided as to leave a quiet haven for a hemisphere of moral death, whose leaden hori zon is unrelieved by one ray of joyousness and peace. For be ye certain that the heart of the skeptic is a desolated and a desolating heart. Jt is utterly devoid of hope. The man whom earth will laud and magnify as the strong minded philosophei, sits and shudders at his hearth m anticipation of a doom whose shadow is doubly fearful because it is so vague and' undefined. The belief in God is part of the moral furniture of his bosom, and he has en deavored forcibly to remove that gorgeous furniture, and the hollow aisles of his heart echo dolefully as some castle untenanted and forlorn. Oh, the hollow aisles of the heart, more chilling in their reverberations than those of the vast cathedral. The Bible is a spectre to him, even while he wishes to cdnvince him self of its fabulous origin, and like another Rhaaamanthus, it raises its fiery lash above Snaked heart when he fondly tries to think it but a shadow—the mere gossamer of moon shine which his powerful hand can brush aside as the merest ethereal web; and often at the sight of the child,- most touching of all sights wfihin the circle of human incident, ho wilf in wardly long for the possession of a trust "ril uess so filial, a hope so pure, a belief so gOn uine.
