our dear friends Of earth wrlthing IN torment?
VIII that sight make heaven brighter? WI
their screams heighten the effect of the heav-
enly choir?
For those VINO still wish the molten lake
there is encouragement. 1t Is SAID that the
ministers of Philadelphia voted that the old
conceptions OF this subject are correct But
IN this connection it is well 10 remember as
Prof. Swing remarks, that when the "Boys in
Blue bad weil-ngh overturned the system OF
slavery, the ministers Of rhe South met in con-
ventons and passed resolutions defending
slavery and voted that it was all right. Bot
when slavery was wrong. root and branch, all
the Southern pulpits by vote and resolution
could not keep It up, and if the barbarous
picture Of he'll be libel upon the character of
Cod all the ministers in the world BY vote and
resolution, cannot keep it up. If is wrong 1t
will come down.
Is 1t any marvel that human creeds should
develop? Is it any wonder that they should
grow? Progression is the law elsewhere. How
the geological ages teach this. Scientists have
gone about twenty miles into the depths OF the
earth. Here are found numerous layers ar
ranged with considerable regularity Each OF
these layers is supposed to have been at one
time the esrth's surface 10 the lower LAYERS
they find no trace Of life either animal or veg.
etable; then you come to the lowest form OF
animal lfe-the protozans this creature ap-
pears more like macs Of jelly than anything
else,-lt has no eyes, no limbs. no liver. no
stomach, yet this mass is alive; it is conscious
Of the need of food; it is conscious OF the
presence OF food; 1t would put forth effort to
procure food the food brought into that mass
could be seen 10 undergo 3 kind of digestion.
How imperfectly organized we're these first ami
mails Then in the next higher layer we find
the molusks or shell-fsh,- here organization
is mole complete but etill very imperfect then
still higher up, we come to the fossil remains
OF reptiles not until now do we come to crea-
lures having backbone; then IN the next Law
er we find the alrbreethiug creatures first
reptiles that breathe air, then b,rds. then
quadrupeds; finally. man is found. Here
through al these unnumbered ages there is
trace of life. Gladstone, IN recent article,
tells us that the human eye has been develop
ing IN fineness offpercephon; that few thou-
sand years ago nearly everyone was color-blind.
Shall progress reign everywhere else lbut IN
theology; Shall the human creeds o. the dark
ages be as correct as those OF the nineteenth
century? Shsllthere be progress IN everything
else but our interpretations @. the .3ible?
Gods truth is unchanged through ali ages;
but may there not be improvement ~ our per-
ception- OF that truth?
