piatc Church kept alOOf from the party war

healed in 1863. DR.. Livingston was ,he
prominent instrument In the peace making

The 81. James's Gazette says that the death
OF DR.. SydOw, the well known Berlin preacher,
has wildly reminded Germ ans of the theOlOgl-
cal movement represented by Schlelermacber,
from whom d.. Sydow learned all his most
characteristic doctrines. he school OF
Schleiermacber made u sincere attempt to re-
coucile theology With "modern ideas - but
they conceded so much to science that il be-
came doubtful whether they retained more
than the language aud the forms OF Chris
tianty. At any rate, many theOlCglans who
began by agreeing with Scheiermacher ended
by agreeing with Strauss Just as some OF Mr.
Mauricc's disciples have become disciples OF

orthodox theological parties in Europe len

one of the representatives of Berlin in the
National Assembly he joined tie moderate
Liberals and the extreme Radicals, having
misunderstood his true position, of course de-
nOunced him as a renegade.
The Rev. DR.. J. s. Kennard, OF Chicago, in
recent sermon said that he did not believe IN
the saying God made the country, but man
made the town Humanirys greatest pos
sibilities were shown in the city. There the
simple pTopenstIes exhibited themselves in the
strongest light. In the country sinful nature,
like an isolated fIebrand, soon burned out and
was comparatively harmless. In the city
these human firebrands we're placed so closely
| together that the fire of each fed that of the
other, and as "A consequence the evil in human
nature reached its lntensest manifestation.
But on the other hand, it was in the large
cities where the nOblest impulses of the heart
