The true test of anyreliglon is the effect 1t
produces upon the lives of those who profess
1t. And, indeed, the test of real merit every
where must be, the power it possesses OF
accompanying desirable resultAa In this age
OF tlieswofld men are notJ judged bywhat
they claim to be able to do, but by
what they can do; not by what they
are reputed to be, but by what they are.
Here is where the religion of our own country
rises superior to the faith of Mohammedan
or Hindoo lands; for while there is much
hypocrisy in the Church. and far too much |
worldliness, there is yet an absence of those
sensual and brutal elements which Character
ize the religions of Arabia and the Gauges.
This principle is equally true in all other
departments of life. The same rule which
applies to persons is equally applicable to
things. Unquestioned merit must character
ize them all, or they cannot be acceptable,
much less popular. The clear and we'll ar
ranged lecture delivered by DR.. Chas Craig

appeared In the columns of this paper short

were brought to light bearing directly upon,
and affecting the interests of, the entire CONF
munity. These facts, as stated BY the doc
tor in his lecture, have been discussed in the
columns of the religious press to considers
able extent in the past, and that too, by very
prominent personages. A few years ago the

tional denominations of the country, pub
lished an article upon the same subject which
drew forth most bitter replies from
prominent physicians, and in response
to these articles DR.. Rankin published
long communications in the New York
Independent, the Boston Congregationalist and
the Chicago AdvdRcs reiterating his former
statements and strongly emphasizing them!
In these articles DR.. Rankin frankly stated
he was as strongly Convinced Of the efficacy
of the means used as he was that the Gene
