lovers of a pure and mastery style
Also it is extremely interesting and in
structive. \ large part of it is devoted
TO replying to some criticisms Of his
Belfast address, made by the Rev James
Mar.iueau. By reference to some no.

ind that he quotes, approvingly, these
following sentences from Mr.. Marti
ueau's writings. - Science, says Mr..
Nartineau, 'discloses the method Of the
world but no. its cause: theology dis
closes the cause OF the world but not its
method. There is no confic, between
them except when either forgets its ig-
norance Of what the other alone can
know" He further says. The aniag-
onism which exists between SOM teach
erS Of science and some teachers Of re-
igion has arisen on that tlel.atabIe
ground, where speculative thought,
whether from the standpoint Of religion
or the standpoint of science, seeks TO
torm definite conceptions Of TIE relation
between God and Nature. to bring oar
outer and inner experience into higher |
unity of reason. and to construct u pri2gi |
theories of the origin OF things" just I

share Of the so-called religious demon

people, one can only guess.
