A DIsquisI1ion on IIeII.

From u sermon by Prof. Swing, of Chlcago.l
IL IL only n human religion such IA
that OF Buddha, or Thor, or Jupiter,
that may fear the growth Of intelli-
gencc, and that may fade M the light
OF reason dawns; but Of religion
from God, given by inspiration, the
first distinguishing principle must be
that II Will reveal It's rensonableness m
fast as man lnfolds his own lintelli-
gence, and still become more glorious
where there IL the most culture. The
medieval christianity having been
disiigured by Ignorance mud siperstl-
ton, the subsequent growth ofrellgl0n
had TO express itself IN inlidelity.
When n Dante described hell to man
kind, and his frightfIil pictures become
the theology of the church, sweeping
through Romanism over into Protest.
antism until Edwards says God will
dash the sinner down on hell's floor
and stamp upon him, then inildelity
must follow, not simply TO save man
from such horrors, hut TO rescue Gods
blessed name from such unspeakable
ininmy. In such hell as Dante's, II
~ not man that Is punished--it Is God
that Is destroyed From such ideas we
must fly to u more reasonable religion,
carrying the cross and our holy faith
away from such q degradation. We
must, indeed, separate forever the
righteous and the wicked, but, as the
drunkard IL punished In this world,
aud as the murderer accepts of his ar
rest without blaming God, as the soul
feels It's own wickedness, and does
not reproach the Creator, so the lost
world Is place, not where God is seen
as cruel monster, but where the free
will stands forth In all its divine pow
ers, and reveals u self.punishment over
which we can almost. imagine the
Heavenly Father himself to shed tears.
Such is perdition of reason IA place
not where the Saviour and God become
All inqulstion, but where the sinner's
own Will and own heart have woven
themselves garments of perpetual snck-
cloth, and where the tears of sorrow
fall not from u malicious decree of God,
passed from eternity, but full out Of the
sinners own wretched soul and mis-
spent life. Thus, over almost every
idea of the Christian religion, there Is
lying drapery of reason fresh from
the God Of Infinite wisdom, and beau
tifil to man, the image of the rational
God.

From tho Little Rock ,iazotte.,

The people of Arkansas, for the first

enjoyment of their civil and political
rights. Their experiences during that
long period have been numerous and
various. They have learned how easily
liberty may be lost, andhow difficult II

motion and popular tlmult, the rude,
the ignorant and wicked frequently
rise to power, while cultivated, wise
and good men are correspondingly de-
pressed in influence, favor and position.
This has been proved by the history of
Arkansas since reconstruction, and the
state aud people have suffered griev-
ously from misrule. This must all be
changed, and things restored to the old
order. II is best for us, our country
