Bah YLONS PLACE IN PRO
PHECY

More than century before this first
great eastern empire reached the zenith
of its glory, under the renowned warrior
Nebuchadnezzar, Isaiah foretold its utter
overthrow. The present desolation that
reigns over the region where once stood
this proud capital of the worlds empire,
shows how fully and specifically God has
fulfilled his word spoken to Isaiah, Jere-
miah, and other prophets. Modern in
vestigation of its antiquities, exhumed
from its long silent ruins, confirm the
faith of the people of God in their apollo
getic value, as establishing the argument
for the inspiration of the Scriptures drawn
from prophecy.
But important as this may be, the utter
desolation of Babylon has far more i'm
portant bearing on the faith of the Church.
The foundations of this city and its ia
nous tower were laid as a monument to
human pride and ambition in opposition
to the will of God. And in the same
spirit Nimrod perpetuated it as his cap
ital, after the signal declaration of Gods
displeasure in the confusion of tongues
Afterwards in the prophecies, prominence
is given to the captivity of Judah under
this power, over her subjugation to other
enemies. Babylon is thus made the great
type of WORLD POWER in opposition to
the kingdom of Christ. Its overthrow
and the deliverance of the people of God
from its power, in the grand prophecies
of Isaiah, foreshadow the glorious future
of Zion, which, in immediate connection
with this event. the prophet portrays in
most glowing visions. The destruction
of the type, and the typical deliverance
were foretold; and with these events,
and through them as types;were foretold
the overthrow of the power of the world,
and the complete triumph of Christ's
kingdom. The first part of this pro-
phecy, or system of prophecies, has been
fulfilled literally and most signally. The
Church, therefore, has the strongest as
surance of the fulflment of the other, and
more glorious phase of these prophecies.
AS surely as this old city lies buried in
remedies ruin, so surely shall Zion
triumph over every spiritual foe; so sure
ly will there go up the shout, Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen" 1.-The king
dom singular in the Revised Version) of
this world is become the kingdom of our
Lord and of his Christ and he shall reign
forever and ever" Let us not feed our
faith upon the mere hull of these great
prophecies, comely as it may be; but let
us feast upon the kernel Of their precious
spiritual consultations.

MEN make a capital mistake when
they form the habit of not going to
church. Habit is the master-principle
of this world. When the habit in ques-
ton is once formed, the individual puts
himself to great extent outside Of all
spiritual influences. He gets ont of
range of heavens artillery. He settles
down into insensibility to heavenly
things He dies.
And of equal Importance is it to see
that your children attend church. If
they receive no other benefit, they form
habit, they become familiarised with
the sanctuary. Quietly, insensibly, i'm
PFessions are received seed are dropped,
which may slumber long in the soul, but
which may terminate in future years.
Mr.. James Bryce, in the Century
magazine, has, in this connection, the fol-
lowing remarks on the political morals.
Of the late Lord Beaconsfeld:
" Few of us reflect how much of what we call
our moral principles and rules of conduct we
owe, not to the settled convictions which we
have reasoned out for ourselves but to habit,
association, the influence Of those among whom
our boyhood has been passed, the restraint i'm
posed upon US by our family connections, our
friends, the opinion Of the society in which we
move. g Men who were brought up under re-
ligious influences, for example, when they have
IN later years ceased to regard the dogmas or
the worship of Christianity fancy that the
morality on which they plume themselves is all
their own, not rejecting that the habit may re-
main when the motive has departed"
If the boy Disraeli had been Sabbath
School scholar, if he had sat regularly
during his youth under the preaching of
such man as Chalmers, would he.not
have been higher man2-perehance as
devout man as his great rival, who, it
now occurs to us, if we remember cor
rectly, did come under DR.. Chalmers in
Auence in early life.

Mr.. JAY GOULD was annoyed the other
day by "disquieting rumors" in Wall
street about his solvency, and it was re-
ported that he had been compelled to APP
ply to Mr.. Vanderbilt for small loan
S10,0O0000. In order to put stop to
such reports, Mr.. Gould sent for three of
his friends, Messrs. Field, Sage, and Work,
and told them the real state of his
finances. He had in his safe, he said, a
stack" of $50,000,000 of securities,
which were unpledged, and which he re-
quested them to count. The committee
at once went to work, and found his rep
reservations perfectly accurate, and there
was an Immediate rise in stocks when the
report was made. 1t does not appear
that some one did not make a million or
two by the incident.
Can any man make fortune of $780,
100000 in legitimate way?
The property of w. H Vanderbilt is
estimated at from $2OO,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000. Mr.. Mackey is credited with
$5O,000000 Mr. Crocker with the same
amount. John Rockefeller is put down
at S4O,OO0,000; Senator Fair, $3O,OOO,-
600; Ex-Governor Stanford, $4O,OOO,OOO;
S. j. Tilden, $15,0OO,OOO; G. 2. Hunt
ington, $2O,O0O,OOO, etc.
The ~. Y Evening Post INDUCES in
the following reflections:
There is still much speculation among our
business men as to the reason which NAV have
induced Mr. Jay Gould to exhibit his fftv
millions in railroad shares to a committee of his
intimate friends. Opinions are much divided
though they ought not to be. The spectacle
OF a man who was once a poor boy and now
at the age of forty five or thereabouts. can show
fifty millions in railroad shares as his own
property is a fine illustration of what extra
honest industry can accomplish in this free
country. 1t would be sad indeed if this horny.
handed son of toll and self sacrificing, although
prosperous philanthropist who furnishes so in
spring an example to our young men, had seen
reason to think that the community did not
trust him and that a certificate from Messrs
Russell Sage and Cyrus w. Field was necessary
to restore public confidence in mis- wealth as
well as his character. We are bound to accept
the explanation volunteered by himself which
does honor to his good heart he merely wanted
to give the many thousands of people interested
IN his enterprises the best possible assurance
that they are in the same boat with a very
strong man upon whose uprightness and be-
neyolent disposition they can rely through good
and evil report. No doubt this will make their
hearts glad But while he was about it he might
have gone farther and exhibited more conspicu-
ously all his Manhattan shares Many of his
admirng fellow. citizens who once owned them,
and who saw their value disappear almost with
out knowing how, will be so happy to see them.
now that their value has risen again, securely
in his strong and safe hands, which can hold
them better than they could For their amuse-
ment and edi6cation he might also explain how
nicely such things are done by SIX lful men. This
would undoubtedly reconcile them to their loss
and make their hearts glad too.

The JANUARY number of the Southern
PreS6J terrain Review is an unusually good
one. DR.. Dabneys article on Prof. Rob-
ertson Smith is one of the very best we
have seen from that learned and trench
ant pen. 1t is simply CT ushing, and, as
we said of Prof. Green's article on the
same subject in the Presbyterian RcvieaO,
1t ought to be issued as pamphlet for
general circulation among the clergy and
Bible students. Professor smith will
learn before he gets through that all the
learning is not on the side of the Newer
Criticism, while other people will learn
that In candor, fairness, and veracity the
Older Criticism has immeasurably the ad-
vantage. Two other striking articles in
this number are Prof. Warfeld's thorough
discussion of the Canonicity of Second
Peter and the article on Frederick w.
Robertson by the gifted young pastor of
Washington, N. @. The former is the
best analysis Of the evidence for the can
onical claim Of this epistle that we have
ever seen, and the latter is an able, schol-
arly, and timely exposure of the shallow
and dangerous teachings of the very pop
ular sermons of F. w. Robertson $50 ex-

JAPAN seems to be in regular reli-
glous ferment. The Buddhist priests es-
pecially seem to be greatly alarmed about
the spread of Christianity. They have
sent Virtabake, a man of high rank, to
India to get information about the con-
dition of Buddhism in that country; and
he is to proceed thence to Germany and
England, to study the relations between
religion and the State in those countries.
He thinks that on his return to Japan he
will be able to improve the temper of the
people towards Buddhism. Two inter
prefers travel with Virtabake, all under
the protection of the japanese Foreign
Office.

The ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS which
German emigration to the United States
will assume the coming season, says a cor
respondent of the ". Y EUenng Post,
may be gathered from late advertise
ment Of Lloyd. In the next four months,
from March 1st to July l, it will send
out from Bremen to New York and Bal
timore not less than 81 steamers, carry
ing, on an average, 700 steerage passen-
gers each, which will amount to $4,000
passengers from one German port alone
in this period A similar business is done
from the port Of Hamburg, and includ-
ing this, and the smaller ports of Havre,
Rotterdam, Antwerp, Liverpool, ETC., the
writer estimates that the emigration from
Germany to this country during the pre-
sent year will reach 100000.

The CENTRAL STUDY in this world at
present is JESUS CHRIST. Men never
before had their attention so concentrated
on this subject The critical spirit OF
the age has brought up for final decision
the question, Who was CHRIST? Is his
appearance on earth dream or a fact {?
Did he rise from the dead? Was he the
Son of God?
In the Church theology gathers alike
around the character of Christ; never be-
fore were there so many Lives of Christ :;
never before were all other questions of
theology put so far aside in order to gaze
the more intently on the great central
fgure-on the Life of the world.
1t has been said of him, that his COM
ing was "a new influx of power" but
that power has never been fully felt; that
light has never yet fairly broken through
the clouds. He created in the Roman
empire new principle of life, of hope, of
Joy; he will do the same in India, in
China-may we not hope that, at no dis
tant day, the light will again touch the
darkened sky of Europe?
There are indications that matters ar-
proach an issue in philosophical specula-
ton, and we look for the putting forth
of an energy by the Church which shall
accomplish great results.

II WOULD appear that all the churches
failed last year to realise the numerical
increase which has marked more pros
porous periods. The Presbyterian, the
Congregational, the Baptist, the Episco-
pal, all, we believe, suffered from the
spiritual dearth which has prevailed.
And now we observe that, according to
the official figures of the Methodist
Church North, it suffered loss of 3d.
600 members and probationers in 1881.
The Independent, however, has dis
covered, by an examination of the tables
of the spring and fall Conferences, that
there is a mistake in these returns. Ac-
cording to the Independent, the net loss
for the year is 1907 instead of 29,916;
and this is loss of probationers only,
there having been an increase of 6,216
members
But in any aspect of the matter, the
fact remains that this great Christian or
ganisation is, at the best, only marking
time, instead of progressing.
The covetousness, the worldliness, the
scepticism, which have gathered such
tremendous volume in the past decade,
is making itself felt on the whole Church,
and, while no true believer feels at all
alarmed for the final issue, the lesson re-
mains that there must be renewed deter
mination, renewed effort, renewed conse-
Grafton, and more fervent prayer, from
all the branches of the Church Universal.
