ARTICLES ON THEOLOGY
BIOLOGY.

The week before last young maa &C
cupying for two days the place of an as
sistant who was then absent, wrote an
article with the caption: Theolegy-Bi-
ology,which was published ia the TELE-
GRAPH Of that week. He undoubtedly
wrote expressing his own belief and opin-
iors on these subjects, and probably with
out q thought OF expressing our belief and
opinions on these subjects or any others.
The first kno Wedge we had Of the arti
Gle was when we read it after it's publiea
ton in the TELEGRAPH. The belief and
opinions expressed may be better than
ours, but better or worse, they are not
ours and differ greatly from them. The
style of tho writing differs also greatly
from any thing we write. The differences
are so great that it seemed impossible
for any one to mistake it for cur writing
In the same number of the TELEGRAPH
in the leading editorial in speaking Of
the commencement Of volume thirty three,
after referring to our connection with the
TELEGRAPH for only little over three Of
the past thirty two years, We said: "These
three years are merged in and make a
part Of the thirty two, none Of which can
De recalled. The present only is ours.
To. day we do all we can In our feeble
ness we can do but little. But little as it
ig, it is an earnest of what We would do if
health and strength would permit Or
the future we can not speak, for we know
not what day may bring forth. This
only can we say: If life should continue
and health improve we hope to give
more attention to the editorial depart
ment than we have been able to give Ter
some time past" With these remarks,
evidently written by US, in the same pa
per, We felt doubly assured that no one
o. ordinary intelligence would think for
a moment that we could be the writer OF
the article, Theology-Biology. Our read
ers may, if they can, judge of our surprise
when looking oyer the Union of last
week to find an article occupying half a
column of that paper with the caption
Theology - Biology, commencing thus:
"Our venerable contemporary Of the TELE
GRAPH got astride of his spiritual donkey
again last week, and gave his readers ono
Of his heavy editorials of column in
length..on his favorite topic" In this first
sentence there are two untrue statements,
saying nothing about our not being the
writer of the article referred to. It is
not true that we got astride of cur spirit
ual donkey again last week, and gave our
readers one of our heavy editorials on our
fayorite topic, for we have never written
and published an article in the TELE-
GRAPH on Theology Biology, or Spirit
ualism, or any of them, either CONFORMITY
or separately, so this could not be again.
And it is not true that any of them is the
faYorito topic of F's. venerable cotem-
porary of the TELEGRAPH. A writer who
can make two untruthful statements in
his first sentence must possess the capacity
for untruthfnlness to an extent greater
than ordinary. But he possesses more
than ordinary ability. He not only pos
seses Che capacity to get two untrue state
lnents in the first sentence but also t.
speak of US as his venerable cotemporar.
Of the TELEGRAPH, and to refer to us il
