assuming that had there been free ani fair election nc

show that the Republicans have worked Gpon tie fears

FOR THE BRICK CHURCH.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Incidents which severely try the patience OF
pastors and congregations occasionally occur III I'll
Christian churches. They are among the infelici-
ties of public worship. A clergyman interrupted IN
the manner referred to may be pardoned for mem
tally showing an annoyance which he does not feel
nj liberty TO express On one occasion only have
seen n clergyman avail himself of an interruption OF
this nature to point moral This occurred last
Winter ut the Hippodrome. 1t was OH evening serv-
ice The house densely land when was It other
wise y filed Five six thousand faces and twice
os many ears were looking and listening to Mr.
Moody. An impassioncd and eloquent portion OF his
sermon was interrupted by the loud crying OF an
infant Mr. Moody paused, and, turning to those
sitting near him, entered into conversation with
them. The mother soon succeeded in quicting tho
cliild, when Mr.. Moody with n cheerful express
sion of countenance resumed; but not
more than five minutes elapsed before
louder wall WAS heard Mr. Moody again
paused aud again entered into conversation
until the mother o second time succeeded in quiet
inr her child In the course of a few minutes, how
ever, the baby's voice was heard for third time,
the mother and father simultaneously rising, with
the evident intention TO depart. That seemed an
almost hopeless undertaking. for they were seated IN
the center of tho immense audience. Tie parents
succeeded. however in reaching tho middle aisle.
Mr. Moody, meanwhile, stood, encouraging them
with a benignant smile. Their nearest way ont was
by n side door There almost bfcathless silence
ms they passed down the middle aisle. When near
the preacher he exclaimed God bless that mother
| wish there were many more Christian mothers
possessing the courage to bring their iniants TO
church when they cannot leave them safely az
home.r The effect was electrical. sense OF reiiet
was felt throughout the house. That mothers
heart was not the only one that thanked MF.
Moody for q spasonabe manifestation Of sense and
svmp1thy. which did equal credit to his head and

PROF HUXLEN'S THEORY.
DR. DEEMS ADDRESSES PROF. YoUMANs-wTAT HAS
BEEN DEMONSTRATED AND WHAT HAS NoT-Is
MATTER INDESTRUCTIBIEf
To the EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: Allow me through your paper to make
an appeal Prof. Youmans As between Prof. Huxley
and the Rev. Dr. William NJ. Taylor have nothing to
say But in tho December number of The PcpGr Science
Monthly Prof Yuumans reviews an article written by
the latter gentlemen and pdhplshed in TIE TRIBUNE He
is amply able to take of himself, and have not
word t0 say in his defense But in his article the Pro-
feSSor makes several assumptions and statements which
have suggested questions would faln PROFOUND to him..
l. lie says theory is said to he demonstrated when
II brings all the known facts INTO agreement explains
them. excludes all other interpretations, and is consist
en with itself and oil that is understood Of the OF
Mature" Did Prof Huxley bring all the known facts
into agreementi" Did ne show that his theory was
consistent with all that understood Of the ways Of
Nature" Did he not tac'tly admit that he was not
able show that his theory "in agreement with
what physical astronomy teaches us of the "ways OF
NatureF
q The Professor saws that "it Is demonstrated fact
that life existed the globe through periods so vast
rs to he incalculabe where, when. and how was this
ever "denonstratedT' Has 1t not been shown that
within period not "inoalculabe life could not have
existed on This glohef
3 The Professor saws that "it Ia demonstrated truth
Of Nature that matter is rdesructble" When, where,
and how was this ever demonstrated" Even II II be
true that matter is indeStrnctibe, can it he demon
strated1 Dare any hut infinite intellect make such
an asScrtionY Can finite intellect know more than
this namely, that as yet mechanical or chemical
means have been discovered by which matter can be
destroyed2
4 The Professor says that Prof. HuXleys antago-
nists bold that the nGeXbe order OF Mature may he as
serted perhaps in astronomy, but they deny IN
biology" VIII he be good enough to refer me to one OF
the Professors antagonists who holds" that opnionf
g. The Professor says that IF assume the orderly
cause OF Nature development is inevitable; it is eNoiu
ton or nothing" Are developmcnt" and evolution
identicali Cannot scient c believe in "deveop-
ment a" and reject "evOlutIonY
G. The Professor says we are told tha' each INK IN
the chain Of Prof Huxley's horse special creation
But who tolls us this and what do they know about +
VII Prof Youmans have the goodness 20 answer his
own double question: VINO does tell Us This? What
does he know about 1 What does The Professor or Prof
Huxicy know about iti
These questions submitted for information Let us
&c taught / am perfectly willing to be Instructed by
Dr. TAYLOR in religion and by Prof Yornans in science
