and Monday he experienced intensely hot
weather. Monday evening, at six o'clock
the mercury was SO degrees in the shade
He was also walked through the boiling
hot sun on Sunday afternoon, to the Val

and witnessed a novel scene in the i'm.
mersion of lot Of negroes by a coiored

Corn in some Of the gardens of Grenada
was higher than the tallest man can reach
while in Tennessee one farmer was CUT

and raspberries were plentiful, and near

long since been in mature growth. But
the oldest thing of all is the sight OF The

"Man, know thyself," we believe was
said by Pope, and it has passed into a
moral currency to be used on occasions
when writer wants pointer. Within
the past few days we had occasion to see
how little many people know OF themt
selves who think they have sounded
every deep and shallow in their moral
and mental construction. Just to see an
individual who thinks he knows not only
himself but everybody else, get into the
hands of shrewd, well.read lawyer who
has not only studied the science OF hu-
man rights and human wrongs, but the
secret springs of motive, 60 up to the
witness stand almost inflated with know
ledge, and then see him come away half
an hour later, what a change has come
over the spirit of his dreams! When he
first looked at the Judge and the court
he seemed to know everything and could
answer every question from the profound
problem of who struck Billy Patterson,
to extracting sunbeams from cucumbers
and now after he has passed through the
lawyers hands he hardly knows the way
home. One such rub will answer Il
man lifetime, and il he ever has to
come back his first prayer will be Lord,
deliver me from these lawyers, for they
are worse than the plaques OF Egypt"

The following is an extract from a SER

The following is an extract from q ser,
mon ''on evolution" delivered BY Henry
Ward Beecher at Plymouth Church, on
Sunday the 14th inst. Certainly 1t il
worthy Of 3 careful perusal by intelligent
men and women all over this country,
whether they agree OF disagree with him
|in bis conclusions, This can be said loi
him, that bis Is one d the greatest theo.
logical minds Of the age: asp eHis5s

Tie presence Of sin can be no more ex,
planned than friction: Il is.a natural Law
established by God. Neither can this
series Of unfolding be explained. 1t would
be inconsistent with divine justice to say
that every man is to be damned who does
not comply with the law. Man is imper~
feet always when compared with the con-
dition next higher than himself, and
must continue to be comparatively i'm
perfect until he reaches the highest point.
Let us sweep out of existence the hidden
pit that theology has dug, inspired by a
malign and wicked Imagination. I can>
not separate myself from my fellow man
l cannot sit down quietly and talk Of
total depravity and eternal damnation
for men who had no opportunity of ele-
vation. Think Of the myriads of men
in Africa, Asia and the islands OF the sea
and of the countless millions who lived
in times past What has God done with
them all? Where are they? In myth
ical torment? II that be so, never NEIL
tion the name of God to me again. Let
me never call him father. 1t would be
violating the very name of fatherhood.
To say they 20 out ofexistence is anoth>
er phantom. If a man does not reach
perfection he has that in him which will
take root in the hereafter and unfold
there.
REPULs1vE DOCTRINE.
The old theory of sin will be extin-
guished by the light Of evolution. 1t is
repul.ive and demoralizing. l hate it
because I love the truth and God The
idea Of God creating race, putting it
under the temptation of an arch 6end
and then damning it because it was not
perfect is absurd. Surrounded by tenn.
ptation, with damnation on the right
and on the left, how could it be perfect? ?
I hate that theology. l won't be silent.
The theologians say,"It you don't believe
it you will be damned" I say you will
be damned if you do believe it. 1t is
hideous-horrible; it makes creation a
shauble, God slaughterer, the human
race in worse condition than animals,
as they at least are only held responsible
according to their natures. This doctrine
ofevolution will have more effect on the
feelings of men, as it explains the road
they have to travel, 1t fortifies the ar.
gument of the need of repentance and
will bring forth wonder, glory and a
marvel when the consummation shall
come,
