THOUGHTS FOR THE LAITY ABOUT THE MACNAUGHT CONTROVERSY. Previous to the days of the great Francis Bacon, men used to carry on their controversies as much as they do now. That master genius perceived that there had always been two orders of intellects —the stable-minded, who had deep insight into the nature of disputes, and based all their reason ing on facts ; and another order, who were always or theorising, and bending lactate suit their theories, else ignoring them altogether, which was by far the most convenient method of gettingrid of a disputant. Bacon also perceived that the men themselves had not noticed that there was a principle involved in the difference between the two orders. He pointed out the principle, and showed that the men who found out the truth, and were able to maintain it against the world, if necessary, were those who searched out the facts and arranged them in proper order, and, after discover ing the laws that regulated the subject under consideration, had, for convenience and perspicuity, • established a theory. This has been acknow ledged ever since, by men of minds and science, to be the only true and reliable method of philo sophising. Although this is the method adopted by scholars, nevertheless we find men ready enough to adopt the exploded one. But the latter are always found amongst the minds less educated, or less naturally endowed; or else amongst those who have some old decaying system to prop up. We now find a controversy going on between two classes of divines, those who maintain that the scriptures are infallible, and those who say that they contain errors, and therefore are not infallible. *The former have had a theory handed down to them, and endeavour to sustain their preposition by appeals to the very document in dispute, which is tantamount to begging the question, or to declaring, before it shall be proved, that the docu ment is what they assert it to be, namely, infallible. Then, wi h this assumed. which they ought to prove, they proceed to establish, by means of their groundless assumption, the very point that should have been originally argued Thus, assumption is 'Substituted for proof, and their words about that very assumption are designated proof itself. In every instance where facts are pointed to as telling against them, like the man who was reminded that facts were dead against his theory, they gravely assert so much the worse for the facts, and there fore refuse to recognise them. The other class of divines in this controversy leave out of sight, for a time, the theory which they have been brought up to believe, and begin to arrange the facts, and then deduce the theory which they maintain, namely, that the Bible, how ever holy, is not without its errors, and they do not shrink from adducing -some of the many proofs they have for affirming their proposition. It must, therefore, in justice, be said that the latter party commend themselves to the attention and consideration of the thieking laity more than the former, who seem to ignore the principles on which scientific subjects are treated, and without which nothing but con fusion and inexplicable jargon can be the result of discussions. There is some truth, however, in that which is urged by the former and popular party, namely—that religion and science are two diffe. rent subjects. The one has all to do with the feelings, and the other with the intellect; the one is subject to laws that regulate matter and mind, and the other has to do with the aspirations of the heart. But it is also true that theology and science are species and genus--that theology is as much a science as geology or any of the other ologies. It should have its canons or rules of interpretation, by which the Scriptures are interpreted. Other wise, how would men know when to read a passage in its literal sense, and when in its metaphorical ? There are three canons of interpretation. That of the Romanists is, that Scripture is to be always read literally, except when the Church shall other wise interpret it. That of the Nartow Church is, to interpret each passage, sa as to get out of it the meaning which they desire, as tending to establish some favourite dogma of their own. That of the Bread Church is, to try and reach the stand-point of each writer, so as to learn what he meant by his own words, and having thus obtained the original meaning of each passage, to apply or reject ito principles according to its suitableness, or uestli ableness, under present circumstances. Any one reading Mr. Love's book on Inepisation, or Mr. Glszsbroek's letters in the Courier, will at once percsive that there is something in their writings which is not at all sathfactory to a mind craving for accuracy of thought and expression. Principles they have none. Theirs is a slip-sl:o I style of logic. They start a theory, and to that theory they will bend all the facts of the Scriptures; and if some facts tell dead against them, why then they must put a sritined and forced meaning on them. They do not, for one moment, think making allowance for national peculiarities and idionsyncracies, nor for different states of eivilisa- Aion. They jumble all Sc:ieturel books and texts together, and make an oils podrida'' of it, and very podrida (rotten) it is David's ethics and those of our Lord, are as different and ea widely contrasted ae the poles; but yet they can see no diffiuley in harmonising them. Though the one prays to have his enemies destroyed, and the collet prays for their forgiveness, yet there is no pre gressiveness that they can see. They read of the Israeli Les attributing ail mechanical and other skill to the miraculous intervention of the Great First Cause ; and though they find that people more highly civilised than the Irac:ites, he weeee pious —and, indeed, although they themselves, when talking or writing on nay Other than ragieua sub jects, attribute all a quit - erne:its to secondary causes ; yet, :Shen speaking or writing on theo logical subjects, they are ever ready to shut thcir eyes to the advances of science, a"d to ignore all second causes, and to trace every c- fre;:t to the diri•et and miraculous action of the One First Cause. Thus they constantly endeavour to meke themselves appear to think es the primitive people thought, in order that their orthodoxy may not be tali-e t in question. It', now, the laity wish to have an intd• - rigout theological system free from ail puzz'a and unintelligible lirgon, one they can easiiy compre hend without doing vioieece to their understand inns and corn,non sense, aid ens that will not require them, at every turn, to go to their priest for 1113 craft to enlighten h_'l7l, and to tell them what to believe and what not to believe without reference to th , it own consciences, they had better adopt the more rational of the two systex.s, the broad church method which cowmen is itself to men of learning and manly piety. This i 3 altogether a hymit.'s question, alihou'h the laity are allowing it to be too much fought for them, by the courage and strength of a few :aithful and enlightened Clergy men. We repeat, this is a layman's question—becau 3 e in proportion as men keep their minds free from . beiNg wa r p e d and twisted by false reasoning on tho one hand, and from being emacullied and elfeminated by the dread of facing questions of diflicully on the-other hand, so will they be fitted to encounter the stern reelities of life. and to seer over the troubled ocean, without making shipwreck on the many sh als ( . .n which the simple and childish portion of mankind are continually "bein.2 destroyed.

[Continued from 23rd IVoycmber] The amount of diease resulting from drunkenness is a a eject of painful interest, and an evil cf enormous magnitude. Dr. Gordon, of Dia London Hospital, said, Lefore a Parliamentary Committee,. That two-third:. at the very leas, of the disease of his fellow countrymen was attributable to intoxicating drinks." Mr. Neilson, actuary, in some returns prepared, by order of government, says—" That from thirty to thirty-five times as many employed in connection with fermented liquor die as any other trade, from the age of twenty five to fifty." EFFECTS OF LIUNKENNESS.—Patrick Doran, 53 years of age, s'evedore, residing at V, Dwerryhouse-street, Toxteth-park, was found dead in bed about h:lf-past eleven o'clock. He was ling on his face whet found, and was put to bed ahoat cne o'clock the same morning by his eldest son, Thomas Doran, and John Griffiths. Nothing more was heard of him until found an described by his daughter, Jane Gibson, and the servant, El zabeth Banks. The following is ex ratted from the Liverpool Mercury, of the 2nd September:—Oa Monday last an inquest was held on the body of Catherine Kemple, 43 years of ago, the widow of a soap-boiler, who resided with her sister, in the service of Mr. John Harrleoa, No. 5 Rodney-street:, and now in care of the house daring the absence of the family. Deceased was in the habit of drinking, and on Satur day night, while in a state of intoxication, she left, and was cat and bruised over the eye. She was placed in her chair, and her sister, Anne M'Cartney, an 1 a charwoman, went to bed, leaving her in that state. On Sunday morning, when her sister came down stars, at five o'ciock, she found her dead. A post mar fem examination war made by Mr. Banner, surgeon, and a fracture of the skull was found The jury considered that the sister of deceased was guilty of groat neglect in alio. ing her to remain all night in such a state. The Coroner said he agreed with the jury, and hoped it did not arise from her having been in nearly the same state as regarded intoxication. A verdict: was returned that death was c lased from injuries received whilst in a state of intemperance.—Also on the body of El•zibeth Mottram, wife of a nightman, re,idng in Cramp-street, who was in the habit of drinking to esters, and was found deal in her bad. Verdict, " Died of excessive drinkiog." The 14th Annual Report of the Registrar-general states that deaths are as follows . Average cf all occupations. Engaged in bear and spirits. From 20 to 25 „ 25 to 35.... . 1,206 „ 35 to 45 1,787 Mr. Wakley, coroner, says--" Gin may be thought my best friend ; I hold 1,000 inquests annually more than I should do if all men were total abstainer." The following comparative statement of mortality In Dublin, in the years 1757 and 1760, when distillatim was allowed, and in the years 1758 and 17g, when distillation was prohibited :- 1757, deaths 1,926 1753, deaths 1,353 1760, deaths 1,923 1759, deaths 1,452 3,919 Thus ti ere were 1,109 less Ceaths during the two years intoxicating drinks were prohibited. Again, the deaths in Dublin, in 18 -9, tee year distillation was prohibited, were 1,151, while in 1810, when distillation Wai again resumed, the deaths were 1,774, or 723 more in one year. Tee Rev. Dawson Burnes says that, in the year ending January, 1856, 54,2'3 immortal beings were hurried into e ernity through &n u! , enness. Lippeck, in his work on vital statistics, says—" The result of enquiry into forty children of intemperate parents was, that six only were in possession of rig iron s health, while the offspring of the others were withered in the womb. To license, therofera, the sale of spirits is virtually to legalize the vary worst forms of infanticide:' Tcaly did that gre it and good man John Wesley observe, that sellers of latex'. eating drink, were poisoners in general, and this designation ought to be appli, d to all vendors of fermented liquor. An Irish physician, some years ago, published his conviction, that two-thirds, or 66 per cent., of the disease of the working c!as•e, were of Alcoholic origin. Startling as it may at first eight appear, that gentleman is fu ly borne out in his calculations by other medical gentlemen of very extensive practice, Dr. Gordon, of the London Hospital, being asked by a Parliamentary Committee what was the proportion of sueh Cases coining under his oisservation, m ide the following statement:—" Sly attention was called to this sul-ject some time ago, when I was assistant-physician to the hospital, lied was in the habit of seeing the oat-patients, to the amount o ' some thousands probably in the course of the year. In c mvereation with a friend who felt au interest in the subject. I hid occasiim to remark that the proportion of disease which was distinctly referabln to ardent spirits might be abqut 25 per cent. My friend hesitated to admit S 3 large an average, and, is consequence, I kept an exeunt for twelve months, I sued say that the result was not a methane Weal but merely an aproximation, and even with this reservation I am almost afraid to anaoanze to the comm tree the result. It amounted to 65 per cent. upon the whole amount of cases; at the sane time I made every poe,ible allowance I could; I even struck out part, wishing to look at the subject fairly. The le tilt was 65 per cant upon some thousands. My subsequent experience and observations induce me to say even a larger number: my second average came to 75 per cent., but I h ere stated. 65 per cent. rather than exceed the tounds. Dr. AlcClelland said to the same committee, tint the year after the reduction of duty on .spirits the deaths in G asgow increased to 1,000. A wealthy invalt I said to his physician—" Doctor, you h ive hum bugged me long enough with your good-for-nothing pills and draughts, they don't reach the difficulty at all ; I wish you would strike the real c visa of my ailments, if yon can." '• It shall be done," replied the doctor, at :ho same time raisins his c no and smashing a decanter of gin on the table, "Now I have struck the real c ruse of your disease ; banish the bottle and you will have no need of my pills and dret“hte." Here's a lesson to be learned by all. Far many years past, statesmen, paliticiau3, a•id rsTor.ners, hive ben trying to improve our moral, social, al d roligious condition ; nalwitn t nliag, it is ft melan:l f •ct, that prison workhouses, and asylums are being enlarged and multi plie and these huge buildings are :hind; supplied from among drunkards. Acti of Fa - Han:lents are good things, but, like the doctor, s p Hs, they won't raise oar mor.:ls if we do not strike at the battle " Who would bo free, Ilimielt maq rrika the blom." Surely this evid,inze i 3 sudlneit to, a3ti:y Cu adToelte3 of the MAin-law priz ip'ei, rn 1 the dezna..id for a n4tianal renanciation of int xicating drink as a beverage.

Oft does nature in her course take aton, as when night claaug,d into day, and the dark fields of the firmament are a awn with light; when the buds of the morning burst into rosy tints, awl o watcher sees the golden glory of ilea sun &scowling on the !want .in ltigh!a ; cr as when sickness naives into health, and the bo ty waste i d seasebegins to irenew its vital energies; when pain sub sides exhaustion seizes, and then grows up conscionsiess of str ngth, and the anxious heart that had been ateuding the patient, sympa thises in his new found life; as when madness chaniteth into reairm' and the wild imagination that had brokm the b idle of jed ;me it, and had dashoii away into strange regions, there to be excited by unreal seen -9 (by groups of imaginary fl nds; differing In ntnlae,, size, and colours, as they eo Ia their ugly deformity, and the exultation and mode of their attaclis and tr•umph over the victims of Alcho!le drinks. And when nature is once more reined In to serve in works of usefulness, and to to to of real joys, and the friends who deplore the moody mad: ness and wretchedness 'cf the drunkard, iow are gladdened to behold serious thoughtfulress restored, bringing with it the satisfac tion of peace and comfort. Total abstinence princi, lee, faith'ul to _ . their office, are tysical of these blesseJ, these happy elanges. Where k the man that would not hate himself if be could but see what is his appearance, as he lies like the sow wallowing in f lth in the gutter— and where is the man that does not feel ashame 3 of himself when he becomes sober as he tt • inks what a fool he I as be n ? It Is this con viction of his folly that often drives the weakminded man to rush after more drink that he may become UrICOIUIdOtLI of the reproaches that haunt him when sober. The human sacrifices which Hiadoeism demands are frightful and appalling; whatever may be the character of the people, and however quiet and passive and =bulb sive they may appear, their superstition is barbarous and cruel. In Goomsoor, a province lately come into the possessi in of the British, the scenes witnessed were beyond descrip_ tion. Wherever a disease raged in the family of the monarch, a human sacrifice was demanded, to appease the offended imaginary deity, and nothing leas precious than the life of an only son would gratify the demon. Immured in houses and dungeons there were found hundreds of children who had been stolen from the adjoining territories, and for what purpose ware they concealed and preserved, but that they might be fattened like: so many sheep and oxen (or slaugh ter, and at a suitable season offered up to the Moloch of the country, Barbarous as these abominations undoubtedly are, I ask are they a whit more barbarous, odious, abominable, detestable, and vile, than the cruelties inflicted on the human race in Great Britain, in the annual sacrifice of 54,001 human beings, not offered up to the Moloch of Hindooism,lbut to the belly-god of England—Alcoholic drink. ft . lf it is iniquitous to offer sacrifices to an imaginary deity in India, b 3 consistent, and renounce at once a practice that offers 54,000 immortal souls annually at the shrine of Bacchus to the Moloch of Europe Alcohol. If it be a sa isfaiction to be instrumental in ;causing the grass to grow, flowers to bloom, and trees to yield fruit, where all was barren ness and sterility htfore, haw mach greater must be the privilege and happiness to be the means of leading the drunkard to become sober, to raise oar fellow creatures from sickuess:,wretchedness, and misery, to health, happiness, and comfort, by the diffusion of the emblem principle of total abstinence. sensible of the value of those principles, ;and knowing that there era thousands of my fellow-countrymen ignorant of the elevating and enabling principles of total abstinence, and remembering tlaa words of oar adorable Redeemer —" It is more blessed to givelthan to receive," I therefore urge all drunkards to sign the pledge, and seek to d if use the high principles of total abstinence among their fellow men; and if I should be the happy instrument of inducing one drunkard to sign the pledge, " Unto Gad be all the glory," I shall rejoins in thus recovering one drunkard, who, like the sheep that wax imoerilicd but found and safely folded—like the piece of money which had been useless, but was found and usefully employed, ha was an the verge of perdition—lost to troth, to Go I, to holiness. to men, bat may now be put in his proper place, his powers devoted to Christ, to Gad, and his fellow men, and enjoy, what in all probability he otherwise would never have known, a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesse Christ. Whatever the fears entertained, whatever the anxieties awakened, whatever the commisseration stirred, when I contemplate the appalling amount of disease and death resulting from drunkenness, I confidently assert that the glorious triumph of total abstinenal principles, which are t nth, intelligence, and virtue, cannot be long delayed.
