And if any part of Genesis is untrue, then
the New Testament writers tell what is
false, and Christianity is to us humbug
and fraud. This is plain language; but
the record bears us out in it, and the seri-
BUSINESS of the issue calls for decisive
terms. The testimony of Christ and his
apostles is the best evidence to us as TO
what constitutes the word of God. "AlId

icism."

scriptures,ma say what is and what is not

what they drew from their own poetic i'm
aginations, what is the Bible worth as
standard of Gods revealed will to-man.
The Bibles worst enemies are these loose
interpreters of it.
JAMES FREEMAN Clarke in a recent lee
ture, gave an exceedingly interesting and
touching "reminiscences of Chas. Sumner,
the poet Milton: "He told me once" said
Mr.. Clarke, "that, two or three weeks after
he was struck down in the senate by Pres
ton Brooks, he thought he might be able
to return to his seat. He, accordingly,
went back, and took his chair; but after a
few moments, he found he had no control
of his faculties and was obliged to leave.
After few weeks he tried the experiment
a second time, but found his mind wan
dered. He was not able to control his
thoughts; and he was obliged to go back
again to his room, where he sat down, and
said to himself: This is the end of my
career. shall never be able to do any
thing more in this world. have come to
the end And, as he said this he told me
that the tears came into his eyes with the
thought that all that he had hoped to do,
all the plans and projects and hopes he
had had, we're thus utterly destroyed. On
looking up, he saw before him a volume
of Millions poems. He opened it casually,
and his eye fell on the sonnet where Mil
ton speaks of his blindness:
''When consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide,
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more
bent
To serve Herewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he, returning, chide;
''Doth God exact day labor, light denied?"
fondly ask; but Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, "GOd doth not need
Either mans work, or his own gifts; who best
Bears his mild yoke, they serve him best; his
state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed,
And post DER land and ocean without rest,
They also serve who only stand and wait!'
'And Sumner said that, when he read
that, it seemed to him as if Milton were
speaking to him from the other world, to
encourage him and comfort him, and he
felt encouraged and comforted. And when,
shortly after, he went abroad, he found a
gentleman who showed him book con-
tanning an autograph of Milton. He sue
ceeded in securing this little book; and he
always carried it with him afterward, be-
cause he felt as if Milton were a near
friend, and he liked to have something by
him that had been his"

of actors. In the papers of one day lately
no less than three suits for divorce were
recorded at the same time in New York
and Brooklyn, among theatrical peo-
pie. One was brought against De Belle
vile, by his wife; another was against
Digby Bell, of the Bijou theater, and the
third against Townsend Percy, proprietor
of the opera of the Queens Lace Hand
kerchief." Here are three men, all more
or less known by the public, who are sued
at the same time for brutal and inhuman
treatment or infidelity of the most glaring
character. 1t only goes to prove that the
popular belief about the low state of NOR
ality among actors is we'll founded. There
are few actors as compared with the mem
bers of other professions, still, time is
not remembered when three we'll known
physicians, three we'll known lawyers or
three we'll known clergymen were all sued
on the same day by their wives. A notice
able thing in all of these theatrical suits
is the freedom with which correspondents
are mentioned. There never seems to be
any difficulty in fixing upon the men whom
the husbands suspect, nor do the wives
find it much trouble to prove all sorts of
immoralities on the husbands. 1t indi-
Gates an awful loose state of affairs be-
hind the scenes.

Mr.. F. j. FARADAY has offered novel
view of disease germs and epidemics. He
states that Pasteur's researches show that
certain deadly microbes may, by the action
of oxygen, be modified into comparatively
harmless organisms. Assuming the change
thus demonstrated, it appears not improb-
able that, on the other hand, harmless or
ganisms may become altered into disease
parasites when lacking sufficient oxygen,
and just as this lack of aeration may give
deadly character to the organisms, SO
may an abundance of oxygen destroy the
virulence of the germs. A gale of wind
may therefore be more effective in stop
ping epidemics than any amount of disin-
fectants-which, after all, may be really
harmful by reducing the proportion of
oxygen in the air; and it is possible to
imagine fighting disease with steam en-
CINE and fan.

The Christian Union, the organ of Henry
Ward Beecher and the exponent and de-
fender of his later unorthodox theories. in its
issue of March 8, rejects the Bible account
of the creation, and avows the belief that
the first chapter of Genesis is "poetic,r not
historic, and denies that the Savior sane
toned the first chapters of Genesis as a
revelation from God. The Christian Union
further says: 'The theological assump-
ton that the first chapters of Genesis are a
revelation from God is pure assump-
ton. This is nowhere claimed by
the writer of Genesis for himself and no.
where claimed for him by the later sacred
writer's. The theology which assumes it
is responsible for the skepticism which
its enormous assumption creates. The
Rev. S. B. Goodenow, an ortho-
dox, evangelical clergyman of Bat
tie Greek, Iowa, combats these views and
says eve wish, in reply, to give our rea-
sons for thinking that no man can accept
Christ and be a worthy Christian, or ac-
knowledge him and his apostles as inspired
revealers of truth, without at the same
time acknowledging the whole Bible, and
particularly the whole of Genesis, Including
the account of the creation, and the fall,
and the beginnings of human history, as
being the accurate, certain, authoritative
statement of facts inspired by God as
scripture truth, through the agency of the
sacred writer. If the words of Christ and
his apostles be adopted'as Gods revela-
lions to us, then Moses also wrote Gods
word for us; and all the great events of
Deuteronomy, Exodus, Genesis, back to
the beginning when "God created the
heavens and the earth" are true and infal
lible history. For Jesus Christ and his
apostles tell us SO, in the plainest terms.

The recent experience of the Healey
family in Batavia, n. Y, was certainly an
odd one. They retired to bed at the usual
hour, one Saturday night, and during the
night so much coal-gas escaped from the
stove that the sleepers were rendered in
sensible, and in that condition they re-
manned until Monday morning. Mrs.
Healey regained consciousness about z
O'Clock, when she arose and prepared break
fast. About o'clock she called her hus-
band and son, who responded and ate their
meal. They all supposed it was Sunday,
and Mr.. Healey, who is employed on the
railroad, put on his best suit of clothes, ex-
pecting to go to church with his wife; but
her head panied her so that she concluded
to remain at home. Therefore, Mr.. HeaIey
staid around the house. Late in the after
noon, another son, who had been out of
town, returned home, and the family dis
covered their error, and realized they had
slept thirty-six hours, instead of the usual
length of time.

The American Bible society engaged in
fourth resupply of the United States with
the Bible last year. The report to the
board of managers last year showed the
following results: Colporteurs have visit
ed 2SS,71S families; of these 1904 were
found without complete copy of the scrip
lures; 35,242 were supplied by sale or
gift; besides 1896 individuals destitute of
a copy of the Bible; number of copies
sold, 125,810, of the value of $46,521.76,
and 1889 copies donated of the value of
$9,096.41, making total of 163,149 copies
of the value of $55,618.17. The salaries
and expenses of the colporteurs amounted
to $40,S21.667. Thus the cost to the society
was little less than fourteen cents for
every family visited, and about twenty four
cents for every copy of the scriptures put
in circulation.

Drowned faces. Windows are left open at

MRS. SALLY SMITH, who recently died
at Edgerton, Massachusetts, was alleged to
have been passenger on the trial trip
of Fplton's first steamboat from New York
to Albany. This can hardly be true, for it
did not enter into the purpose or plan of
this trip to take passengers. The trip was
an experiment. 1t might never reach Al
bany. A great and lncredulous crowd
witnessed the departure of the boat from
the dock in New York, as she started off
against wind and tide at about three miles
an hour. The crowd was full of ill-omened
prophecies that the boat would blow up
would break down-would never reach
Albany, etc. The establishment of the
doubling crowd was intense as the boat
moved quietly, steadily though slowly over
the water, and soon became lost to sight on
her way to Albany. The boat reached AL
bany III safety, and the hour for
her return trip to New York was
advertised. After Fulton's return he
told Capt. Wilson, in substance, the fol-
lowing story: A short time before the
hour advertised for starting from Albany
on the return to New York, we'll dressed
gentlemanly looking man, with valise in
his hand, came on board, and asked for
the captain. Being directed to him, the
stranger said:
"You are bound for New York;"
He replied, eyes"
''What will you charge to take me for a
passenger"
Fulton thought a moment, and said,
''Ten dollars
The man paid it, and sat down. Fulton
found him very intelligent and agreea-
BILE companion; and during the evening
said to him, 'This ten dollars is the first
money that l ever received from nay labor
and outlay upon this boat, and nothing
would please me more than to sit down
with you, when we get to New York, and
spend it in having good time; but can
not afford it; my family actually need it."
He said that the first idea that he ever had
as to what use he could make of the boat
came to him when he received that ten
dollars at Albany.

A RUSSIAN grave digger heard groans
issuing from a new-made grave. Instead
of Immediately disinterring the groaner,
he rushed off to the priest, upon whose
sole authority, he thought, such resurrec-
ton could have been made. The priest
refused upon the ground that the police
must first be informed. Five hours were
wasted in such proceedings, and then the
coffin was dug up. It was found that the
unfortunate occupant had turned over in
his coffin, and in his agony had torn out
his hair and worn out his fnger-nails in
his efforts to release himself. The wife
brought suit against the priest for heavy
damages.
