this We were disappointed, for after ex.
planning that 1t was tho Josephite
branch Of the church that he repre-
~sented-the man feature Of which is
the repudi .tIOn OF the doctrine Of poll
ygnmy-the address disclosed nothing
R~ntagOnistic to the orthodox teachings
OF Christian churches generally. Like
all the other Christian sects, the kew
stone Of their theological arch is bind
faith In Inspiration and revelation
through the scriptures; salvation
through n rcdeemer; the efficacy Of
prayer; baptism. and the laying on Of
hands, etc. Mr.. IInws quoted a brief
sentence from the writings Of Prof.
Tyndal, which the speaker claimed was
AN admission that science WAS in har-
mouy with the teachings OF the Chris.
iihn religion. This was n startling an
nouncement 10 skSpticism. but a. tho
time allotted TO 1lr. Iiags was entirely
too brief tor handling "a subject Of such
grave Importance. ho got no farther
than the bare assertion. which is
scarcely sufficient TO convince the mind

lowing certain persons in high places
