on the basis of pare negation OF all oogmae
whatever, sort of uper-rationaiized Uni
tarianism in fact. Our contemporary, the
Spectator, observes with truth that when
more than 300, 900 of the descendants OF
the Huguenots refuse to make even the
most general declaration of belief In the
Divinity of Christ, the resurrection and the
| ascension, fundamental change has indeed
come over" French Professionalism. The
change was always contained in the very
prin ciples of French as of every other KIND
of Professionalism. However, from heresy
to infidelity the descent is logical and GER
tain. Protestant Christianity may now be
said to have practically disappeared from
every country of the world except the
United Kingdom and some sections OF
society in North America. Even in Eng
| land Christianity is fast fading away out
side the nviolable bounds Of the infalhbie
Church.

n The Eurre de saint Paul is an organized
j. endeavor to counterfeit the evil influence OF
the press by supplying good and useful
. books for the perueat OF the number
d classes. The press exists, said the speaker,
- and whether we wish it so or no, will do its
y work. 1t is for Christians to take care that
ic it's working be helpful to the cause OF
