There has been no evolution Now, this
is perfectly plain case, and, while the
Independent and ourselves differ on many
questions, that is no reason why there
should not be perfect candor on both
sides; and this conceded, the Independent
ought to make an apology to the Herald
and Presbyter.

The GREAT FAMINE is the appropriate
title of pamphlet published in Shanghai,
under the direction of the China Famine
Relief Committee, giving an account of
efforts to relieve the starving population
of the provinces of Chill, Shansi, and
Shensi, during the past three years. 1t
is estimated that from 100000 to 49,
100000 of human beings persisted during
this period from want-the greatest fam

The Independent wriggles terribly un-
der the facts we submitted to it about
Tertiary man. In fact, it gives it up
eve have stated, it says, I" the Tertiary
origin of man is not our theory, that We
have never asserted it, and that we do
not care to have it forced upon us. -
Very well we will not force it on you.
We are agreed, then, on that point.
We also think, after our statements in
our last paper, that you will not dare to say
anything more about inter-glacial
man. We pointed out that at the meet
ing of the Anthropological Institute Of
Great Britain, in May, 1877, it was con-
coded, in the language of the Edinburgh
Review, that the attempt to push man
back into an inter-glacial period has sig
nally failed" Wepointed out that at re-
cent meeting also of the Victoria Institute,
to consider the question of mans antiqui-
ty, Prof. Dawkins and Prof Hughes,
both gave the " inter-glacial point up.
This brings us down to the post-glacial
gravels of the Quaternary age, and the
man OF the European bone-caves.
Now, the exact words, at the outset Of
the Independent in this matter were that
it was incredibly foolish and injurious u
in the Cincinnati Herald and PresJyte,
to deny that man was evolved from the
irrational animals
Now, note the position of the Ladepen-
dent: 1t asserts that man ,va8 evolved
from the irrational animals, and it now
declares that the Tertiary origin of man
is not its theory, and that we must not
force" that theory on them But still
| (it asserts) man was evolved from the If,
rational animals, and the Independent
says now, that g it is enough to show thai
the scientists hold that man lived in the
Champlain or Early Terrace period of the
Quaternary with the extinct mammoth
and cave-bear, &c" The evolution, then
must have occurred since the tertiary cnc
glacial periods; for tertiary and inter

The arrangements have been completed
for the new Presbyterian RevtesO, design
ed to succeed the Princeton Revte,O, which
has set up for itself in its new hands and
does not pretend any longer to represent

will be an able quarterly, and we wish it
the most abundant success. The Rev.
DR.. A A. Hodge formerly of Fredericks-
burg, now Of Princeton, is one of the ed

The Nelo York Observer has taken the
trouble to send to the Presidents Of nine
Colleges in New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania Connecticut Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island the statement of the New
York Independent that eve are all taught
in our best schools, by our scientific au-
thorities almost without exception, e..
that man was, at least so far as his physi-
cal structure is concerned, evolved from
the lower animals, and of asking these
nine Presidents whether the statement is
correct? The Colleges selected were Yale,
Princeton Amherst, Williams, Lafayette
Hamilton, Brown University, Union and
Rochester. Each President answers that
it is not taught in his College. The fact
is, one evolutionist makes as much noise
as ten old-fashioned scientists who are
content to keep within the limits Of what
has been ascertained, and who do not re-
cognize as science anything that is moi
based on facts

itual father Abraham, and heirs accord

is impressed as to the value of parental
faithfulness in the spiritual training of
their children. There are few of the

cious in the progress Of the ages upon

THE Ne,U York Observer does not like
our remarks about the sale of DR.. Dur
yeas pews in Boston, and undertakes to
explain to us the facts in regard to our
city churches"
It is no news to us that the poor can
attend church in New York by purchas-
ing cheap sittings. "To our personal
knowledge" says the Observer, Servant
girls hire good seats in DR.. Halls church
at lower rates than Roman Catholic girls
have to pay for one service day in their
churches. And the Observer tells us
that in New York the Poor are earnestly
invited to the most expensive churches
in the city, and are furnished with seats
free" if they are unable to pay. The
Observer Informs us at the same time,
that in DR.. Halls church the first
choice" of pews are sold for more than
5000 and $4,000. We understand then
that there is a distinction between rich
and poor in Dr. Halls church.
We do not wish to be misunderstood.
We fully appreciate all the difficulties of
the case We are not prepared to say
that the pew system, as managed at pre-
sent, is wrong. All that we are prepared
to say is, that it is only the well-to-do
classes that attend such churches as DR..
Halls. Now, we merely wanted to point
out an emil appertaining to prevailing
methods, to which we think too little at
tention is directed. Is there no way of
seating the families of the church together
in their own pews, and at the same time
giving greater encouragement to those
who cannot buy the choice pews Cor
any pews) to attend church, and at the
same time (for this is of course essentially
meeting the expenses of the church? This
is the question: Is there no way of mix
ing rich and poor together in the uptown
churches, and, while throwing the bur-
den of maintaining the church on the rich,
making the poor feel as free to enter and
as much at home after entering the church
as the rich?
We do not need 10 be told that the
poor are welcomed to DR.. Halls church.
We are perfectly aware that they are
more than welcome We are quite sure
that DR.. Hall could not be more graft
fed than to have them there at all times
and in any numbers. But if they will
not come, may it not be possible to de-
wise in some way to get them there, 50
that the ministrations of such man may
reach at the same time all classes of So
ciety? 1t is only by turning such mat
tiers over that remedies, if they be needed,
can be provided. Certainly the question
is one which ought not to be summarily
dismissed as the Neac York Observer dis
misses it. We are devising new methods
of Christian work every day, and we
trust that greater and increasing atten-
ton to such problems at this will con-
tinue to characterize the activities of the
Church in the present age.

HERE is a specimen sentiment from

HERE is a specimen sentiment from
the Christian U1aion.
The Morning Star, apropos of the declaration
of the Christian Union that 1.-The obliteratlon OF
the line between the Church and the world
teaches us that victory rather than defeat Is
near" says truly: ut depends altogether on the
manner in which the line is obliterated The
Christian Union maintained that there was
abundant evidence that the oblteratlon was due
to the fact that the world is coming up toward
the standard of the Church, not the Church going
down toward the standard Of the world There
is more genuine Christianity to-day in many a
Good Templars lodge than there was in the
Church at Corinth in Pauls time, and certainly
great deal more than there was in the Church
of the Guises of France or in that of Torquemada
of Spain in the sixteenth century.
This is decidedly fresh view of the
subject. Most of our religious exchanges
are bemoaning the sad food of worldli-
ness that is creeping over the Church
especially in the North; but our lively
and ingenious contemporary sees in "the
obliteration of the line between the
Church and the world" coming-up on
the part of the world to the standard OF
the Church. Is that the explanation Of
the prevalence of all sorts of heterodox
opinions in the Church, and the non-ob-
servance of the Sabbath, and the general
spirit of worldliness exhibited in the love
of dress and the presence of Christians in
the theatres and opera-houses? Does
that explain the fearful disregard of the
maxims of common honesty in our ordin-
airy business life? and the fearful cata-
logue of divorces exhibited by the stats
tics not long since published with regard
to New England?
But what shall we say Of the senti-
ment that there is more genuine Chris
tianity to-day in many Good Templar's
lodge than there was in the Church OF
Corinth in Paul's timer" And we sus-
pect that the Union would not be indis-
posed to add, that Mr.. Beecher knows
through the historical development OF
Christian doctrine, a great deal more
about Christianity than st. Paul or St.
Peter, and that he could to-day write
better epistle to the churches of Brooklyn
than those which st. Paul wrote to the
Corinthians or that which st. Peter sent
