new. Christianity has been under this
sort of fire all the time. 1t has defed
and survived every assault, from CELSIUS
and Lucian' and Porphyry in the second
and third centuries through seventeen
hundred years down to the present time.
Later than any of the names we have
mentioned, the work of attacking Chris
tianity has gone on in Germany, conduct
ed by such men as Bruno Bauer, Christian
Baur, and Feuerbach; in France, by
Comte and the school of Positivists and
by Renan in the department of Criticism
in England and America, by Mackay,
Theodore Parker, Emerson, Charming,
Gregg, Holyoake, F. W Newman, John
Stuart Mill.
We think we may safely affirm that
this batch has been disposed of too.
Now let us think of it: how has Chris
tianity survived all these shocks? There
are some great names in the list we have
given-men of splendid parts and learn
ing-for example, Spinoza, Hegel, Strauss,
Voltaire, Comte Renan, Hobbies, Hume,
Mill, Newman. How has Christianity,
we say, passed under all this artillery I'M
harmed? and if it has done so, why need
we be disturbed just now by the scien-
tifc attack going on? Evolution is no
new thing. The Vestiges Of Creation, -
not to go back to Geofroy st. Hilaire,
propounded the theory about 1915 or so.
The book is now dead. Darwin's own
book is already set aside as a correct the
DRY of evolution, They have had to set
up a new theory. Prof. Huxley's Proto-
plasm is very nearly played out, we
think Spontaneous Generation, about
which DR.. Bastian published two stout
volumes some six years ago, is abandoned,
unless some wild man like Haeckel con-
tlnues to believe IN 1t because 1t ought to
be so. Herbert Spencer as metaphy-
sician is not really entitled to be treated
with respect. The attempts to find any
connecting type of any kind between man
and the apes has utterly failed. At the
late meeting of the British Association,
Prof Huxley, speaking Of the loose asser-
tons about the great antiquity Of man,
warned the members not to build any
theory on the famous Somme gravels.
Prof. Dawkins has given up his pre-gla-
cial man. This is enough; we must stop

The venerable Dr. Enooh Pond hay

The venerable Dr. Enoch Pond hav-
ing contributed to the last number of the
Independent an article in which he con-
tends for the six literal days of the No
sale narrative Of creation, the Iadepe1a-
dent remarks on the article editorially
1T seems to be generally agreed now by those
whose testimony is the best we have that the
events described took more than six days for
their accomplishment. That contradicts the Gen
ess statement Here comes in a question of
theology Dr. Pond says that his interpreta-
ton being so sure and revelation being so lntall-
BILE, we may give the lie to science. Others say
that revelation being so infallible we must, to
preserve its infalibillty, put strained sense on
the word day and the whole narrative. Others,
with whom We have more sympathy, say that
our theory of inspiration had better be softened
to accommodate the facts"
This is certainly.a very simple way OF
getting rid Of any Biblical statement-by
Just softemng" our theory of inspira-
ton. If we do not like the Biblical &C
count of the creation of Adam because
certain persons tells us that man was de-
veloped from the lower animals, we can
accept the new theory by just "softening'
our theory Of inspiration making it so
soft that we can peaceably reach the con-
clusion that Moses made little mistake
in this little matter &c. as to the Del
uge, if we do not happen to like the.mir-
acle implied in such transaction, all we
have to do is to "soften" again-that is
decline to believe it. And so of the
signs worked before Pharoah by Moses
and Aaron, if they are little too hard
for this scientific age, all we have to do,
is Just to suppose that Moses colored his
facts little to suit the Oriental magma
ton. And so as to the Resurrection, if
scientific men believe thing Of this sort
is incredible, we are not compelled as
Christians to take the thing literally,
but are at liberty to soften it after the
manner Of NJ. Renan. We do not want
any "softeped" Bible. If its direct af-
formations on points distinctly under
treatment by the authors Of the several
books are not true, then we are entirely
at sea. Itceases to be an authority
And if Moses was mistaken in the re-
Prospective apocalypse ofthe first chapter
of Genesis then John may have been
mistaken in the visions on the isle Of
Patmos.
Moses does not say that the days were
six solar days Just the contrary. Three
of the creative days had passed before
the sun, as a luminary, was set in the
heavens. Moses never intended to re-

veal to us the scientific process of crea-
ton. He merely touches in few verses
the fitting up of the earth as the abode
of Man. With anything that preceded
the appearance of Man, we had little con-
Germ. 1t was characteristic Of the man
ner of the Bible to leave the veil over
the mysteries of creation. That admlra-
able reserve which is maintained all
through the sacred writings, ought by
analogy to have been observed here AS
the curtain is not lifted as to the new
heavens and the new earth " which shall
be revealed hereafter so it is not lifted
as to the secret workings of the Divine
Architect in ordaining the heavens and
the earth which were of old. In sym
bolical language we are told Of what
shall come to pass in the last days; with
like symbolical terms, we are told of
what came to pass in the beginning. 1t
is the language of the SEER in either case.
There is no more reason to expect the
word "day" to be used in literal sense
in a description Of what preceded the
advent of man, than there is to expect it
to be used in literal sense in connection
with the prophetic vista which filled the
eye Of the apostolic seer in the delineation
of the scenes of the Apocalypse. In the
one case the vision lay before, in the
other behind the delineator.
We know that the early chapters Of
Genesis employ this symbolical language
from the references to the Serpent, and
the Tree of Life, and the Tree of the
knowledge of Good and Evil, and the
Cherubims, and the Flaming Sword which
turned every way. No man can draw
the dividing line here between the literal
and the fgurative The tempter was in
fact the Devil, who merely assumed the
form of the serpent. And so of the
curse pronounced on the serpent, "On
thy belly shalt thou go, &C.; )" there is
of course, far deeper meaning here than
appears on the surface
And viewed in this light, how wonder
full is the accord between the Genesis ac-
count of creation and the revelation of
science We are told that there was a
Chaos; science confirms it. We are told
that the earth was covered with water !;
science confirms it. We are told of light
before the sun; science confirms it. We
are told that the earth rose out Of the
water; science confirms it, We are told
that the plants appeared before animal
life; science confirms it. We are told
that the fishes and birds were made be-
fore the beasts of the field; science con-
firms it. We are told that the beasts of
the field were created before man; science
confirms it. We are are told that man
was created at recent period; science
confirms it. 1t will be time enough " to
soften our theory Of inspiration " when
Moses has been convicted of inaccuracy.
To our mind the first chapter Of Genesis
is one of the strongest incidental proofs
of the inspiration of the Bible that we
have.

SICKNEss.-Owing to protractcd dry
weather, cold nights and mornings and
warm days, there has been recently ii
great deal of sickness, chiefly fever,
with a strong tendency to congestion,
all through southwestern Louisiana and
eastern Texas. Here, and in all dircc-
tions in the country, iE broke out SO
suddenly and seriously that for 4 few
days the gravest fears Of an epidemic
pestilence were widely entertained. 1t
was soon found, however, that the
fever yielded readily to prompt medical
treatment, and we arc glad to announce
that so far as we can learn, the sick arc
everywhere recovering. We expect in
next weeks issue of our paper to be
able to say that the sickness has en-
tirely disappeared.-ILake Charles Echo,
