EFFECTS OF SCIENCE on REvELATlo,

As long as science shall continue 10 influence
development OF intellect, the beauty and majesty of
the sacred WRITINGS may be st every rerusei, more
appreciated. Since the telescope has changed the
sparkling diamonds of night into rolling spheres,
where perhaps intelgen, beings like ourselves send
up their anthems Of alterations TO the Father of the
Creation, how much vaster, how much grander is
that expression. DAY unto day uiiereth speech
and night unto night sheweth knowledge" We no
longer gaze on the stars as but mere ornament on
the wide arch that walls in the world. We see them
as globes compose systems systems--having
centres around which they fell in abysses where no
eye but Gods alone has glanced-and those centres
IN their turn moving around suns that controlled
by other suns, whose attendant worlds only then
sparkling in the suburbs of creation Take this
thought in connection with the passage. AS the
heavens are higher than the earth my
thoughts higher thanthy thoughts, and how glorious
how over towering to the rejecting mind the
words of the sacred writer.
Since geology has opened 10 the gaze the shining
crystals the carverned torrents, the diamond paved
recesses and the submarine volcanoes of the world
how much more forcibe are many passages of the
holy writ. And chemistry too, standing up in the
great labratory of nature, flashes light many a
| sacred line.
Eloquence can do much--but science holds the
brightest torch over the Worif of the Almighty
When she suspends her lamp over creation, see
an immense stage which God has been acting
and performing his wonders for ages not to be COM
puted by the most powerful of angelic intelligence
stage whose aera is infnude, whose acts occupy
eternity.
/ How could the Chaldean shepherd, who watched
the midnight stars, and thought them only objects

Entrance into Life. 1t is doing service to man
kind TO destroy the prejudice which is generally
tertained that youth is educated, when some care
has been taken of their infancy This prejudice,
besides other bad effects of it, suspends the zeal of
that small number OF individuals in the middle rank
of life who wish give their children the best edu-
cation they possibly can. From the false notion
that the minds of young persons are formed at
~ early period, they suffer them TO be their own
masters at a time when they stand most in need of
guide direct them IN the most important period Of
their education by the VISIONS ofhis counses, the
genteness OF his insinuaons, and the force of his
example. Few persons in their infancy, learn the
art of employing and governing themselves and it
is very difficult 10 learn 1t till the faculties of the
mind are full blown, and the character has taken its
true bias. When young persons, therefore, are en-
terng upon the tempestuous ocean of human life,
then is the time when they must be taught the pilots
art, the of steering their course, to a
void rocks and quicksands. A philosopher might
begin to take charge of education at time when the
vulgar think 1t finished. Many persons are capable
of educating chilcren in the ordinary method; there
few, very few, who are capable of forming men.

actually took it from such exposure. The re.
turn this head made by only part of
the ply scians applied to- but will serve to throw
some light on the proportion of cases:
Persons reported as exposed above, 1902
Number of those who took the disease, Cd
which is about one 10 23.
The committee subjoin the following gross re-
suits as illustrative of the protective power of
vaccination, as now generally Practced in this
city.
OF the 90 cases which proved fatal, 10 were in
persons never vaccinated, nor protected by pre-.
vious small pox, being nearly six out of seven.
OF the remaining four, two had been Vaccinated
and two had had the small poX, one by inocula-
ton, and the other in the natural way.
Assuming the population of the city at $4,000
and the number of cases at 300, the proportion
of inhabitants who have taken the diseases is one
in 266. The number of deaths which have
Cured is %, which being averaged on the fore.
going population is one in 1896, and of those
vaccinated only one in 10000.
Note. In Boston, as in the other large cities,
small pox is present in greater or less extent
in the course of every year. In 1887 the number
of cases in this city was ITO, of which 10 were
fatal. In the present year the whole number of
deaths since last summer, is stated by the super
intendent Of burial grounds to be 30 part OF
these were sporadic, or scattering cases, anterior
TO the present epidemic These small propor'
tonal results may be usefully contrasted with
the former effects OF epidemic small pox in this
city before the discovery of vaccination. Ac:
cording to Hutchinson and Thatcher the cpl
demic small pox of 1871 when the population OF
this city was O,567 of the inhabitants, and car
ried off 800. In 1852, 1857 persons had the
disease naturally~or by incubation. and 544 di-
ed, out of population of 1874. At these
rates. were there are a: this fine no vaccination,
the whole number of cases in the city would be
Jorty t,co thousand, and the number of deaths
