The Rev. DIR. Wild Upon ChristianttV
as an Educating Power, Selectivc and
neutrality-suspicious. Squstters and
Settlers-Professor Tyndsl, Froude,
Labor and Reward.
The Rev. DR.. Wild preached an earnest discourse
yesterday morning from I. Thessalonians, ". IL
"Prove all things hold fast that which is good"
He held that Christianity implied broad, liberal
and comprehensive system OF philosophy OF divine
origin, which, when reduced to an art, became
developing and conservative force in the success
sive cycles OF mans charging experience. The
Scriptures revealed to US the mind Of God as king
and teaching the creature to recognize the Creator
Christianity accepted man as scholar and imme-
diately placed him under restraint, rule and In
struction. In its light lie had an intelligent
aim, q noble work and q sublime destiny.
Being, duty and Christianity were co-equal.
the province Of Christian relation being
co-equal with the duties and bearings of man:
and the social Intellectual civil and religious re.
lations OF men could only be developed in the
higher and safer forms by the life and force Of the
Gospel. Christianity was not an abstraction but
positive force-not national idlosyncrasy, but .
worldwide remedy for sin and unCleannesS; not q
rigid, uncomfortable system, but practical testing,
nSutng and tSap PIT in time
in harmony with man as progressive creature.
Some good people entertained many fears, but tina
biologists would ind some rock-hidden truth that
would belle the Bible. In settling new country
we had explorers, squatters and settlers-the
finder, the proven and the user. SO the honOred
and able scientist, Professor Tynda, said that I'm
science they had these characters the
the teacher and the appller. In the Church there
were defners of doctrine preachers and practicers
He (Dr. Wild thought Professor Tyndai had per-
formed fine work in our midst. and though be.
rated by some. because they did not understand
him, yet he mad honored himself his country and
the science he proclaimed II other foreigners
who had come to lecture America had shown the
same good sense and done as good work England
would have more to be proud Of and Americans
less cause for dissatisfaction. The historian FrOudo
came not to teach, but to put right. Knowing
little OF the genius OF the country he was soon put
to flight.
The reverend gentleman concluded his remarks
by appealing to his congregation to prove in the
laboratory OF their experience what was good ana
true and then keepit.

that such ignorance was just the next thing to
insanity, and that 1t was no prayer at all Here
Or. CULVER read an article from scientific Journal
referring to ana discussing Professor Tynds's new
idea, and argued IN relation to an experlment
suggestion. Let 1t be tried In a hospital rom
three to five years, where the medical attendance

the result. II prayer Is OF that nature Is 70 admit
OF such q test there would be q complete revolu-
ton In the mind OF all Christians. We should not
hastily den0unce this idea Nothing Is gained by
using hard words II is proper to try proper test
Tor the efficacy of prayer. We should Try II our
prayers OF any SERVICE. God never wants rs TO
believe anything without evidence. We have In
the Bible general injunction to prove all things.
Christians have always sought for the proof OF the
virtue OF prayer. They have wanted evidence OF

the Church. Invested of all prejudice and supersti

manner, have

character OF prayer. And the result Of
such Investigations are in accord with
the constantly increasing power OF Christ. DIR.
CULVER then, as an Illustration, said that when
new medicine is about being tested 1t required the
attendance OF physician, the cooperation OF the
patient and other matters to ensure its SUCCESS.
SO with prayer as remedial agent; before being
tested We must know. II God can be used in
that way and then, and II 1t would be blessing
for sick to thus be restored to health. Prayer
