The New Theology.

Thus far In its presentation the new
theology Is reformatory rather than revo
lutionary In Its teachings and tendsn
cies. II accepts the nomenclature of the
old, but shades or expands its definition
30 as TO accord with the subtier expert
ences and the enlarged observations OF
the age, and IL maintains the dogmatc
statements Of the old, but modities their
exposition 90 as to bring them into har.
mony with the laws aud process Of be.
ing. II aflrms with the old that faith
10 the basis of salvation and all de.
Lucrative activity, but It gives no pre-.
eminenee to any form Of faith, and tests
the validity and sufiiciency Of faith by
it inspires. With the old II accepts all
scripture given by inspiration as divine,
and interprets scripture by scripture,
but II holds in allegiance all biblical
utterances which seem unreasonable, and
rejects all which are In conflict with the
nature Of things or the course of Provi.
dence, and aims TO understand and cor.
roborate the written word by the works
Of nature; Ind II maintains that no por.
ton Of the scripture eau be revelation
Of God to man except to tho extent that
1t is understood and conforms to the
laws Of his being.
One Of the most distinguished charac.
teristics Of the new theology is its re.
spect for science, indicated by its effort
to put all its statements in q scientific
method. and to test the value or utility
OF any doctrine which does not come
under some general aud harmonious law,
or which cannot be scientifically pre-.
scented and, were this the only claim of
the new theology, it would entitle it to
q respectful hearing, as well as put it in
striking contrast with the old. 1t does
not insist that any of the great doctrines
derived from the Bible could have been
discovered by scientific investigation;
but, being disclosed by divineinspiration,
~ 1t is claimed they are, when philoso.
phicaNy considered. recognized as rea.
sonable and essential, and to be in accord
with the constitution of things. Rec.

win North America Become a
DESERT

This is startling query which ha,
been suggested by recent writer in the
North american Reriew. The source Of
the threatened danger is expected from
the gradual change wrought in OUT
climate by the diminution of rainfall,
caused by the denudation of forests and
other matters following in the train OF
advancing civilization. By reason of OK.
tensivc land cultivation and forest de.
struc,on the rivers are slowly drying up,
and extended droughths are much more
fie Iuent than formerly. while the winter
SHOWS and spring rains are carried away
more rapidly than formerly.
Some notable statements are presented
In support of these assertions. In va.
rious sections of the country where
perennial springs were once numerous
they are now rare; in localities where
crops were once easily raised they are
now seriCuIly interfered with by
drought; rivers which once furnished an
abundance of mill power now often fail
to turn the wheels for lack of water.
The ultimate issue is foreshadowed
from the experience of the old world
Historians of antiquity describe what
are now great barren regions in Asia
Minor and Northern Africa as in their
time teeming with verdure. Babylonia
was once a delightful country. 1t is
now almost desert. The temperature
is also changing from the same causes in
many localities. Notable changes are
observed in Babylonia, Northern Greece
and Italy, Germany and Spain. All
these changes have been wrought by
the hand of man in the progress of civil.
zation. The same causes are now at
work in regions where the advent of
civilization has later date, and these
appear to be full enough of probability
that the same changes will occur on
this continent unless science steps in to
show how to avoid it, and legislation
comes to her aid to compel course of
improvement which will prevent such
undesirable changes in the face of
nature.
