NEW YORK LIBERAL CLUB.
Discussion ON NEnterialism.

Tie New York Liberal Club held It's thirty third
meeting last night at Reviile's restaurant There
was large attendance OF members. The essayist or
rather the speaker Of the evening, was Mr.. Charles
Moran, who very ably replied to the essay OF Mr. G.
L. Bach, on .Materalism delivered at the previous
meeting of the club.
Mr.. Moran commenced by stating the several
points In which he agreed with Mr. Batch, and In
Guided In this was that all knowledge obtained by us
was based upon phenomena. He thought that the
atomic theory was Of very little importance in the
investigation OF thls question. He utterly disOwned
the idea that we have to search for explanation
OF the whole by the study Of the part II reasoning
from the whole down to part that was the correct
mode OF reasoning. The great progress of science
had been through the deductive method, by the as.
sumption Of ahypothcsis A great many Of the by
observed phenomena. The term soul was

test OF the whole question that living cell was
only found In living organism.
Mr.. Herbert spencer has proved himself not true
scientist when lie said that from Inorganic mater
an organic cell could be produced What world
produce an organic cell was living germ. The
lecturer expressed his surprise tnat 80 many Euro
pean minds were following in the wake Of Darwin.
In reply TO the inquiry that the condition OF the
earth might be favorable to the germ and not
favorable 10 the full conditioned organism, the
lecturer said that no man had been able
TO find any such phenomena. Ia every form OF
animal life the germ Of every living animal organism
has to go on through every stage to retain its
life. All this taught the great theory OF hna ends,
however much that theory may be sneered at. The
vegetable growhs were preparation for the animal
le. IL was unscicntic to claim for the atom That 1t
had produced these results.
Mr.. Baich, ID reply 10 the illustration Of the dead
man, said that the molecular atoms Of which that
body was composed had lost their vitality by the loss
Of the power or combustion, and consequently the
man died. In support Of this ne stated that plant
