EVOLUTION OF THE BIBLE.
The Third of Beecher's sunday Evening
Sermons.

The Third of Beecher's sunday Evening
Sermons.
New YORK, June 7.-Beecher's sermons
upon Evolution of the Bible' are being pub
hshed in pamphlet form for the benefit of the
Brooklyn Home for Consumptiyes The third
was delivered today. In the course of the SER
mon Beecher said: HThe sacred Scriptures of
the Old and the New Testament have intimate
relation with the highest moral consciousness
and proioundest religious experience of the
best men and to take away that influence would
meet with resistance from all that is best in
the best men. The Divine Spirit gave it
authority and purpose without authorizing it's
dates and inaccuracies. Much was needful
for Its evolution and production and ceased to
be OF use when it was produced. What harm
Can evolution work to the Bibles inward life?
What ifsits miracles are denied? What If its
dates conflict and early astronomy was erron-
eous? Six literal days of creation are not tena-
BILE and are not held except by the ignorant
and intellectually dishonest. What If the po-
em OF Eden is legend? God is the same, hu-
manity is the same, the needs OF men are the
same and the supply for these needs is the
same. The Bible is the record OF the effect of
Gods spirit on human customs, the record of
how the divine mind raised men from barbar-
ism and unfolded the treasures of life and
thought. 1t was the human race that was in
spired The Bible was lived first and record.
ed afterwards. 1t s the record in one line of
the development of men from low point by
trial OF living species Of evolution for ages and
ages. Many things in the Bible are legends
and are not true though precious and the igno-
rant and obstinate still believe them and igno-
rant scientists throw away the whole because
part Is not true LII plenary inspiration is true
then the MormoDs are right for the Bible
teaches polygamy land they believe it. So
slavery was authorized by the Bible, but men
outgrew its conditions. There is an ascending
scale in the Bible to loftier ideas and nobler
conception. Inspiration is the impulse by
which the findings out of men in the expert
ment of human life were recorded by men able
to concentrate in words the meaning of what
had been lived"

Postmaster General Villas:
AUGUSTA, Me-, June L. 1855.
To Postmaster General Villas, Washington d. g.:
1t is with indignation and regret that the Dem
oerats of this county to man look upon the an.
poiatment Of John Kirk, partisan Republican as
postmaster at Togus in this county over General
Luther Stevenson, Jr., non-partisan Democrat,
and we look upon 1t as further evidence OF the sue.
of combination of intriguing Republican poll
ticians who wish to retard the necessary reforms
and put breakers in the way of the success of the
administration. We are simply dumbfounded at the
posed upon by misinformed friends.

II RAILWAY MATTERS.

Sir Henry Tyler inspected the Grand Trunk prop
erty in this city Saturday and left at noon, with his
party for Boston and the West. The cutting of
rates by the Canadian Pacific Railroad, it is said,
will lead to further complications in railroad mat
ters, as it is probable the Grand Trunk will meet
the concession. Sir Henry Tyler's visit here is
chiefly to arrange plan to avoid the trouble which
has broken oRt Sir Henry has cabed to London
that owing to the general Decentralization In freight
and passenger business he believes that restora-
tion OF rates is impracticable at the moment.

Death Instead Of his weeks salary.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 6.-This morn
ing, about 1890 a lad named John Roach,
aged 16, son of an engineer of the Grand
Trunk Railroad, was shot dead by another lad
named Charles Barge, about the same age.
The two boys, who worked at Webb's brick
yard, went into Mr.. Webb's house to get their
weeks salary. Barge picked up a shotgun
and pointed it at Roach. Not thinking it was
loaded, he pulled the trigger, the contents
striking Roach on the left side of the face,
killing him instantly. Barge became almost
frantic at the result of his play and ran into
the police Office and gave himself up.
