REMAINS "cHRIsTIAH CHURCH"

1t is now nearly seventeen years since M. Renan
startled the orthodox world with his Life o,
Jesus" Az he then ammo unced. that was but tho
first volume Of history which should embrace eli
the origins of Christianity. According to his con-
ception Jesus was not the founder of new religion
nor did His teachings provoke the great religious
crisis which hnally gave birth 10 the Church; He
simply furnished the legend around which the
Catholic dogma and hierarchy crystsliized. Three
datos stand ouS prominently in the history Of the
buildings of Christianity II. by that term. ono un-
dcrstands all that period which preceded the pcrpot
efiiorcscence, IL will be nscessary to include the
hrst three centuries; TO como down ~ far a. tho
reign OF Constantine; to show how the martyrs be-
courtiers and the spocalyptic droamsrs men Of
government. II 1t be thought sufficient to study the
formation of the Church down to the tiine whom IL
became conscious OF its exstcnce there will bo NO
necessity Of passing tho year $50. 1t had then a.
sacred code in tho New Testament; . principle Of

the heroic period. as IL may be called. tho war Of
Judea under Titus. will be his stopping place. That
period comprises Paus great battles with the apos
ties of circumcision and extends TO the time OF Nero
When he began his history NJ Renan did not intend,
II may be presumed. to bring It down to the third
century and the reign Of Constantine But gradually
and almost inevitably he gldes along to that period
SO when the hfth volume of his "Origins of Chris
tanity" appeared. In 1877, 1t was seen that sixth
would be necesssry--one which should comprise the
reigns Of Hsdrian and Antoninus Pius. This volume

Contrary to announcement and gen.
eral expectation, Rev. John Hewitt occu-
pied his pulpit last Sunday. His morning
effort was certainly one of the best he ever
made. Tho church at this time celebrat-
ing the ascension Of our Lord, the sermon
was appropriatelyon thesuGcct Of Heaven,
which the reverend gentleman treated in a
manner seldom equalled. lie showed how
much definite information we have con-
ecrning the abode about which, on a cur
sorry examination, the Scriptures seem TO
give no light. That Heaven and its inhab.
itants will be substantial realities, and not
imaginary fgmenis, is evident, and that
many of the attributes Of happiness which
we shall enjoy are the same as are our
portion hcre-for instance, sociability will
there be pre-eminent That God will not
be wonderful unseen power, but kind
friend. That our natures will not be
changed, but purified.

FRETGHr WREcKs.-T regularity and

one mile west Of the station, the third or
fourth car from tho engine was thrown
from the track by the breaking Of an axle,
and although moving slowly, four or five
cars, with their freight, were pretty badly
mixed up, and the track considerably de-
moralized before they could be stopped.

Of the road from the Howard Office, and
then returned 10 the wreck to assis, in right

Under the direction of Mr.. Woods the
wreck was gotten out of the way by about
seven O'Clock in the evening, having de-
tanned the mail West about three hours.
just about the time this train left Howard.

again called into requisition, but, this ac-

former one, Il was nearly noon the follow
ing day before the road was passable for
trains. In this accident one Of the brake
man was slightly injured by jumping from
the train.

Mullen was we'll known as an old citizen Of

A DAY OF PLEASURE. - We can again tes-
tly 10 the desirableness of Point Mccoy as
u place in which TO enjoy n day Of unalloy-
cd pleasure, for VIC had the extreme happi-
ness last Thursday, in company with dx
others similarly disposed, Of enjoying the
beauties of the scene TO their full extent.
'Tis true that one who is predisposcd to the
role of an invalid will hnd the ascent of
the mount difficult road TO travel and a
rdo up tho mountain side IL not conducive
either to case or the highest pleasure. But
it will be found that there are difficulties
surrounding the attainment of everything
desirable. If IL were not so, they would
not be appreciated when they are at last
reached
On this occasion the carly morning train
kindly received the baskets of lunch and
vessels Of humanity, and most obligingly
let us of Mt the foot of the mountain. We
would have placed more special stress on
this condescension had the train continued
on up the mountain top, but this II refused
to do 1t was not yet seven o'clock, but
when the peak itself was gained the hands
Of the watch indicated the hour Of nine,
which is sufficient evidence that all Of the
party believe in overcoming the difficulties
of life in slow yet decided manner.

most the entire length Of the mountain
road, and 1t requires wonderful stretch Of

brook, but such 1t Is Notwithstanding the
manner in which it frequently flows across
tho road leaving only IA muddy track. 1t
is suggestive Of II spring at It's source, and
SO We welcome it, as spring Is the most
welcome object the summer tourist can
meet
At length the observatory on the highest
peak Of the mountain Is reached, and 1t
would seem that even during the hottest
days cool wind must be blowing here
for on this occasion it was too cool FOR com

aud varied a panorama of he.ds, fprcst.,

almost an indefinite distance In every di-
rcction. Unfortunately, the forest Grcs

and State College was the mos, distant OBJ
jcci that could bc distinguished.
Having seen suticicn, TO sati.fy Us, the
remainder Of tho day was spcnt in genuine
picnic csiyic-lunehiur, converting, singing
and listening to the Professor read ono Of
Scyijuer's contributions to solid literature
and valuable information, We were treat
ed to an inside yiew Of the Unworthy Of
Berlin. At four o'clock We started 10 the
foot of the mountain, and after materially
decreasing the number of Wild flowers
which grew along the path, discovering a
snake, aud enjoying ourselves generally,
we reached the base Of the mountain about
SIX O'Clock, after having as much pleasure
as is often the portion Of those who indulge
in picnic tours.
