THO. GOOD REASONS.

The Democratic papers insist that the next
House of Representatives is safely Republican
without Mr.. Aston, and that, therefore, there
will bc no danger in defeating him. They say
the Republicans have IA members already
elected and that these, with few Greenback-
crs aud such loose fish, will give them ma
jority. But Republicans will do well to re-
member that the election of Mr.. Aston Mr..
skinner and Mr. WadswOrth, in tins State,
will give them the control of the House with
ont doubt, and the loss of one of these three
districts il, therefore, disaster to be prevented
by all honorable means.
But this is only one of the reasons why Mr..
Astor should be elected. He deserves it on his
own merits. He il man of the highest
character, of sound practical Judgment, of
steady and laborous habits which have sue
ccssfully resisted all the allurcments of for
tune, and which guarantee the faithful perform
ance of any duties which he may assume.
He was born and grew up in this city, and
has passed here a life open to the world and
without n stain. His opponent is so little
identified with Ncw-YOIk that he was offered
the nomination for the Watcrtown District and
declined il with prudence which gave way
when Mr.. Potter left this district a-begging
for a candidate with money. There is no good
reason why a New-YOrk man should not oc-
ca,ionally represent a Ncw-YOrk district, if
only for the novelty of it. 1t would be a
pleasure for Republicans to vote for man
like Mr. Astor, even if our majority in Con-
gress was assured. But in the present state of
things it becomes a clear and imperative duty

Forty gentlemen, representing the l,7OO,OO
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
are now holding the annual Missionary Board
meeting in this city. The constituency is so
large and the business in hand is so weigbty
that the public may be pardOned for some sur
prise that the sums handled are not larger and
the work done of a more striking character. 1t
appears that the money collected this year for
both home and foreign missions is less than
100000, that only ninety-seven missionaries
are employed in foreign fields and that the
foreign work has not been much expanded
during the last eight years through the collec-
tons. Indeed, the highest receipts were gath
cred in 1873, when they ran uD to $3.50, 900.

SCIENTIFIC OPTIMISM.

Mr.. James Sully, writing in The Nineteenth
CentuV, discusses scientific optimism, and
reaches the general conclusion that evolution
has reviewed its work of creation and mod
estly pronounced it good" This verdict may
be modestly accepted by the Christian public
~ a good one rs far as it goes. IL is a re-
affirmation by transccndcntal science Of the
Judgment of the Almighty rs recorded in Gene
sis 1t was possibly worth while to go a long
way round to reach home again in a simple
Bible statement. But the same writer
cautions us that this evolutionist verdict
is not so emphatic as might be desired on the
merits of conscious individual life. Indeed,
this province of being is made tolerabe and
hopeful only by sinking the individual, with
his fears, hopes, sulerings and DEATH entirely
ont Of sight. Philosophic evolution asks us to
imagine ourselves at the end of the whole
drama of being, and from that point of view
TO pronounce it a good play. But as we are
distinctly informed by the philosophical eyo-
utonst that we shall not be present when the
curtain drops on the last scenc-but have long
previously died utterly-it is difficult for the
individual to take any satisfaction in the flight
of imagination to which he is invited.

with the progress and outcome of the race and
the globe, might be satisfactory if it did not
unfortunately neglect and ignore fact of i'm
mense Dimensions. individuality is a conspic-
uous fact which a true science must account
with. 1t is not merely fact of human life,
but it is a tact which grows larger and more
clamorous for recognition as civilization de-
velops the higher nature of man. An ancient
story tells that on n sinking boat the unedu-
Gated sailors were Indifferent and philoso-
pher greatly concerned; and the philosopher
excused himself by saying eve have not the
same things to lose by drowning" An ele-
ment of egotism may be in this defence;
but it is true that the modern and coming man
of whom evolution is proud has more and
more to lose by death and is more and more
TO accept creed of humiliation.

YORK DAILY TRIBUNE SUNDAY slTRlPlE SHEET

This fat refusal of the enriched and enrlching
individual life to receive for eternal hope the
glory of the race, is the perfect and lnsur-
mountable obstacle to the success OF the eVo-
lutional optimism. AS life becomes Oh more
value, parting with it forever becomes less
tolerabe to thought The keener and more
sensitive personal consciousness sickens ana
revolts with increasing violence against doc
trine of individual despair.
1t is also worth while to remember that the
better man who is arriving comes under CHRIS
tan auspices and has in him eternal hope
Take it out of him, and your evOlutlonal
glory Of the world and man may speedily
fade. The effect of dropping out the hope OF
immortality from life will probably be large
in proportion to the culture, moral perfection
and aspiring energy of the generation that
drops it as only beautiful dream 1t is plain
enough at all events that the Spencerian OPP
timlsni asks us to drop wings that have hith-
erto sustained our flight toward grand and
high endeavor, and that the wings OF hope
for the race are neither new and improved
thing, nor probably adequate substitute for the
hope of personal Immortality. This race hope
we already have, and it is therefore not In any
sense new. What is new IS the demand that
it shall do work that has hitherto been done
by eternal hope. 1t is almost certain as mat
ter of observation 1--WE speak not here OF
Scripture) that the loss of belief in immortal
ity would be accompanied with the decay OF
the better and nObler manhood which we are
asked to accept instead of future personal life.
Plainly then, such an active, sensitive mdl-
vidualizng age as the present Is not favorable
TO the evolutiOnal optimism 1t may do for
low and imbruted ages and peoples (; 1t
is absolutely rejected by an age of in
dustry and heroism. The evils of life
cannot in point of fact, be thought
out of sight. Thinking puts them more and
more into the foreground. StOicism must for
get; but evolution, whatever else it is not, is
certainly thoughtful. 1t cannot play the game
of indifference; and the more it thinks the
more the hopeless terror of individual annihi
lation looms black and hideOus behind all the
evils of life at their womb and sepulchre. Nay,
more, the better we fit ourselves to sympa-
thize with others, the higher our power OF
self-rcnunciatiOn, the more we must shiver
at the spectacle of SORROWS, pains, be-
rcavements, that have no confirmation in
the amplitude and blessedness of the
life everlasting. If we can no longer sing
in the words of William Cullen Bryant,
"For God has marked each sOrrowing day
And numbered every secret tear,
And Heavens long age Of bliss shall pay
For all His children suffer here"
then we must cease to ask the good man
to cling to his trust and to count the world
that philosophic evolution has made "goOd
world. On that hypothesis the world is, to
self-renouncing and compassionate spirit, the
worst possible of worlds. 1t has become a
world still full of sorrows and tears, from
which the Angel of Hope has taken her flight
