SCIENCE AND RELIGION.

In his letter to the New York Sun on
Christianity and Science, the Rev. HUGH
q. PENTECosr endeavorS 20 show that the
processes of faith and reason are the same.
but for an orthodox clergyman whose pro-
fessed creed is that of the Westminster con-
fession and catechism, he treads danger
ously near the brink of agnosti csm. He
says that the Fundamental truths of
Christianity are: The existence of one
personal GOD, called by any name you pre-
fer; the immortality of the soul; some sort
of relation between GoD and the soul. and
moral outcome of the life that now is i'm
the life that is TO be-" If this definition of
Christianity is true, then PLATO and CICERO
were orthodox Christians, for both of them
believed in future state and the
Immortality of the soul. and there was
no heather philosopher who did not believe
that there was some sort of relation between
the soul and COP. According to Mr.. PEN
TECosT's definition there could be no differ
ence between heather and agnostic theism
| and Christianity. The idea of revelation
does not seem TO enter into his view at all.
Bishop WHEREFORE said: ''Other books
may be inspired because they are true. but
the Bible alone is true because lis inspired. -
Neither does Mr.. PENTEcosr help his ortho-
doxy when he seeks 10 place CHRIST in the
same position which the pagan emperor was
willing 10 give him when he offered to place
JESUS CHRIST in the Pantheon at Rome.
The clergyman says: There are doubtless
masses of Christians who accept their be-
liefS ready made, that is. upon the authority
of CHRIST or some lesser one; but the dec
laration is true not because He made it; He
made it because it is true" "Hs words as
the words of all other men; His life as the
life of any other; the Scriptures, as any
other book, must be brought under the cru
cial test which tries all authorities in relig-
ious matters, the common consciousness of
men,"
No infidel writer ever claimed more than
this. CHRIST claims TO be the absolute
truth when He says: 81 am the way, the
truth, and the life; no man cometh TO the
Father but by Me-" If this was a boast
and not claim of authority and if the mir
acles wrought were not proof of supema-
tural power then the whole fabric of oTtho-
dox Christianity falls to the ground. There
may be harmony between science and re-
ligion. there may be unity in the same fruit
full field, but there can be no reconciliation
on the basis of Mr.. PENTECosT's views.
If orthodox Christianity is to be maintained
| CHRIST cannot be divided into sections with
the permission given to disciples to pick
and choose such parts as please them. AS
the late DEAN MANsEL said in his famous
hampton lectures on The Limits of Relig-
/ iouS Thought, This is not Christianity
which thus divides CHRIST; it is not philoS-
ophy which thus mutilates Him."

increase.

The report bears evidence of close and
conservative management i'm operating the
road. The reduction of operating eN-
penses with reference to the earnings is re-
markable, considering the depression of the
period named in the report. And in the
meantime, the road has been kept in good re-
pair and many betterments have been made.
The management could have no better in
dorsement than this. 1t has been thorough
and as aggressive as the circumstances
would admit, and yet has been economical.
There has been no wastage of material or
money. no surplus men employed. The re-
cent excursion of the Jobbers' union con-
WINGED the closest observers of the party
that for SmoothnesS of trackage and thor
oughness of equipment the Northern Pacific
is not excelled by any of the transconti-
mental trunk lines. in fact equaled by none
and eXcelled by few Eastern trunk lines
which have been operated regardless of ex-
pense in the matter of betterments, either
of trackage or equipment Taking these
conditions into consideration. the rare re-
sources of the Northern Pacific country,
the splendid promise of its future devel-
opment and the vast domain of its land
grant, which will ever be on the increase in
value, it is not difficult to account for
the advance in stocks from the lower thir-
ties almost to the fifties. Nor should it be
a matter of surprise to those thoroughly
posted on these conditions, were the stock
to go to go before the 31st, when the books
will be closed until after the September
hot, f,,l g,,f
ing Northern Pacific stock, some for the
purpose of getting control, goes without
argument. But it is just as clear that vol
umes of capital, seeking good safe invest
ment, are being exchanged for stock.
Another item, which should not be for
gotten in connection with the large landed
interests of the company and prospective
better prices, is the fact that preferred
stock is taken by the company at par in the
purchase of its lands. In this item alone
one may find a solution of the problem of
the rise in Northern Pacific preferred. BY
purchasing this stock land spectators may
secure large blocks of land at SO per cent
of its market value, which must inevitably
advance in value rapidly with the de-
velopment of the country along the line.
There are many millions of capital locked
up in the vaults of the East which are seek
ing a safe investment being wary even of
million-dollar banks manipulated by bro
kers, and it is perfectly natural that it
should find its way West in this way.
There are millionaires in New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and other Eastern finan-
cial centers to-day who situp nights worry
ing about the safety of their accumulations.
| Why should they not secure these stocks
and exchange them for lands along the
transcontinental line and 90 sleep the
sleep of security? There are many more
plausible theories and more pleasant ones
to account for the recent rise in Northern
Pacifics than that of contending factions
seeking control for the advancement of
their own selfish ends.

DECLINE OF ABsoLUTIsM.

The rulers of Europe do not seem to be
so much impressed with a belief in the
divinity which was supposed to hedge their
crowns as formerly. They are more on
the alert and are disposed TO be more active
in their efforts to retain the jeweled bau-
bic of crown than was their won't They
are wise TO understand the force and power
of combination and cooperation. Mon
archy, like any other business if il maintains
itself, must do SO through the agencies
which control the world. Thus ii is we see
the big imperial bugs travelling around over
Europe, arranging to meet each other at
convenient places for the purpose of con-
sultation. The emperor of Germany
wants TO see the emperor of Austria
and they arrange to meet at sum-
mer resort. Then it becomes necessary
Immediately thereafter that the emperor of
Austria shall have a personal conference
with the car of all the Russias. These
signs of activity naturally attract attention
and the world wants To know what the
car and the kaisers talk about when they
get together and stretch their royal limbs
under the mahogany. 1t is absurd to say
NAab biiSg iillCAlAdA
subjects as original questions, discussing
them and forming conclusions about them.
1t is given out that they want TO discuss
subjects of moment, such as the movement
of the Russians in Afghanistan or what
England proposes to do in relation to affairs
which concern Turkey or India. The fact
is that these imperial Interviews are held
more for the purpose of consultation with
reference TO how these figure heads of
absolutiSm are TO protect them
selves against the popular forces
which are threatening the overthrow of
monarchical government and which the
emperors are striving in vain to repreSs. Pop
ular government has made such Roadway in
England that the people make and unmake
the ministry. And it is probable that at the
conventions of the emperors no question of
current interest receives the same amount
of consideration as the forthcoming cleo
tons which are to determine the fate of the
British cabinet. That even the measures
of the German, Russian and Austrian en-
perors are strongly affected by the opinion
of a constitutional government is full of
hopeful promise for the Russian peasant
and for the German subject of absolutism.
The world has advanced and is still ad-
Yancing.

NORTHERN PACIFIC ADVANCE.

NORTHERN PACIFIC ADVANCE.
The affairs of the Northern Pacific are
Just now of deep interest to st. Paul and
the Northwest, and speculation as to its
future control and conduct is warranted by
reason of this fact. Many theories have
been advanced as to the cause of the late
sharp advance in the price of its stock.
But not enough prominence has been given
to the merits of its management, the sound
ness of its financial affairs, the resources of
the country its lines traverse, present and
prospective development. and the splendid
showing the forthcoming statement of earn
ings and their relation to the expenditures
will make. Much of the advance should
be credited to these causes directly, and col
laterally to the natural desire railroad cap
ital would have to secure its stock as an in
vestment as well as for the purpose of con-
troll by Eastern trunk-line combinations,
which could thus control line from ocean
to ocean. The official June statement has
not yet been promulgated, but the GLOBE
of yesterday morning gave the substance of
it. The following Is the summary:

the services of Attorney General GAR
TALMAGE,s SERMON.

The GLOBE presents to its readers this
morning the novel and unprecedented fea-
ture of journalism of an illustrated sermon.
1t was preached yesterday by Americas
greatest pulpit orator in a historic build
ing. The Rev. DR.. TALMAGE is spending
his summer vacation in Europe, and in
compliance with special request made of
him, he preached yesterday in London In
City Road chapel. the memorable church
editice in which JOHN WESLEY, the founder
and great apostle of Methodism, officiated.
A cablegram to the GLOBE says that DR..
TALMAGE was greeted by an immense
concourSe of people. and the day was
marked by extraordinary religious en-
thusiasm. After preaching in the
chapel he was compelled to preach
again in the open air to the
10000 people who were unable to get
in the building and who would not be salts
fed until they had heard the eminent pull
pit orator. In his eloquent manner DIR.
TALMAGE recalled to the minds Of his
English audience the hardships of primitive
Methodism, when, as he says, the ministers
preached more gospel ON $500 year than
some of their successors now do on "a, 600.
The pioneers of Methodism in America
were the advance guard of civilization.
Wherever the settler penetrated the wilder
ness or squatted on the plains, there was
found the circuit rider with his saddle bags
and hymn book. His circuit often
extended from 200 to 500 miles. He
officiated at all the marriages, christenings
and burials, preached every day in the
week and two or three times on Sunday,
and yet if at the end of the year he got a
new suit Of jeans and 500 in money he
thought he was literally compensated. In
reviewing the services of the men who
went down to the battle, DR.. TALMAGE
had grand inspiration for his theme in
the surroundings of yesterday. To stand
in the pulpit once occupied by WESLEY was
calculated to awaken emotions in less
emotional nature than TALMAGE's.

IRELAND,s INDEPENDENCE.

Senator RIDDLEBERGER of Virginia, who
is now in Chicago attending a meeting of
the National Irish league, tells a GLOBE
reporter that in his judgment Irish indie
pendence is sure to come. The senator,
however, does not believe that when En-
gland has conceded TO Ireland the same
rights of self-government enjoyed by Can
ada and other English dependencies
there will be any disposition on the part of
the Irish people to separate from Great
Britain and set up distinct nationality, but
that they would prefer to remain an inte-
grail part of the British empire. There is
no reason in the world why the English
government should not recognize the true
Irish manhood sufficiently to accord to the
Irish people the station due their worth.
their valor and their achievements. The
agitation commenced by PARSELL and his
associates has grown from small beginnings

organization strong enough to hold the bal.
