CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.

Progress eff the Religious Sentiment
Among the Members Of the British Scien-
titic Association.
Rev. William Guest, in an article in
the London Christian, gives remarka-
BILE and most encouraging review of the
progress of Christian sentiment in the
British Scientific Association, which re-
Gently met at Birmingham, in contrast
with its last meeting there, in 1865.
Then skepticism prevailed, and many
members took it for granted that the
teachings of revelation were exploded.
Sneers at Christian belief were frequent
and offensive; Darwinism was rampant.
1.-The claim set up for science was that
of infallibility, and a new era was sup
posed to have dawned. which had bowed
God and His commandments out of the
universe" At the last meeting Sir
William Dawson, the president, was a
decided Christian. and in his address
took a firm and unmistakable stand
as believer in the Bible.
In the Section of Geology, which

luOuSAG uduSCAOuS W AstllLs 1CStu ny
members were of pronounced religious
views, and it was evident that the
greater the progress of geological re-
searches. the less is the tone of unbelief
In the Section of Anthropologv, which
was then permeated with boastful
skepticism, the president, Sir George
Campbell, declared that the Bible
teaching as to the origin of man is the
only firm ground. The president of
the Section Of Biology, William Car
ruthers, F. r. S., is well-known be
lever in Divine revelation. On the
Sabbath large number of the members
met for devotional service, when Sir
William Dawson urged scientific men
to apply the same intelligence and
to the study of the Script
ures as they do to that of Nature. Mr..
Guest comes to the hopeful conclusion
that while in 1865 scientific skepticism
was IN apparent ascendancy, ''this year.
on the contrary. the ascendant senti-
ment has been the presence of Christian
thought and conviction"

CHINESE BELIEFS.

he Three Distinct Rellgieas A1ssteA ~
the DwelleFs In the Celestial Empire.
Stepping into shop in China-t own
, gentleman, among other things,
asked the owner what his religious be-
lief was, and the result of the con-
versation was that he found the shop
keeper to be q believer of all three of
the National religions, accepting the
gods of each hand, paying his money
10 support the priests Of all, and if it
would have made business q little
brisker, All Wang would have un-
doubtedly announced himself Christ
Ian of any denomination required.
This then is one of the most striking
peculiarities that, while there are three
distinct religions, they see no incon-
sistency in accepting all. The Confu-
clan Chinaman believes in q spiritual
appeal to the moral nature. He be-
leves IN conscience, sees q difference
between virtue and vice, pretends to
believe in law and order, and is q firm
believer in paying q religious venera-
ton to his ancestors; and. above all. is
remarkable for his filial piety. The
Taoist is q materialist. TO him the
soul is something tangible, q physical
something, purer than the human
form. 1t is not essentially immortal.
but attains this state only by a
physical training after passing through
q certain pseudo chemical process. He
believes in various gods, is q liberal of
liberals in this. Even the stars are
divine or divinities. The Taoist is also
q great believer in hermits, physicians,
magicians and holy men of all kinds.
The Chinese Buddhist differs from
these. His religion is metaphysical
He delights in argumentative philcso-
ply, and gives vent to his Imagination
in building up his beliefs on an
ethereal platform. His gods are not
realities, but the mere personification
of ideas. Matter, as such, is entirely
disregarded. the ideas, or theories
founded upon ideas, excepted. Taoism
is perhaps as popular among the ma
jority as any, as it is of practical use;
thus, a sick man will consult his god of
medicine, which is to be found in some
of the houses. and the priest will tell
the patient exactly what medicine or
drugs are required to heal him. Over
and around these gods are seen testi-
monials of patients that have been
cured.-SGn Francisco Call.

What triumph was that when Frank
lin flung his kite in the teeth of the
storm and drew down the bolts. The
Christians faith does a more wonderful
thing. The very bolts OF justice become
tremulous with messages of love, and
all there is IN God becomes our own.
So by all our experience God is trying
to reveal Himself to us IN such ways as
will give US faith to take hold upon and
claim HIM. The crown of our expert
ence will be that God becomes ours by
some new and sacred tie. that we will
not think of Him as belonging to His
laws, or His universe, but belonging to
US. while laws and universe. and life,
and death are but our servants, because
they are His.
Every problem of life includes God.
He is the fixed term of every soul. But
it is permitted unto US to say that He
shall be ours, not by the dominance OF
His laws and purposes, but by our own
living and loving faith. Beyond the
sweep of His power we never can 60.
His providence will lead US. But it ie
for US to say whether it shall be the
hand of law or the hand of the Father.
tits possible for faith to SO put us on that
strain of the Divine will that is as be-
nevolent as it is commanding, that
every movement will be peace and all
our changes bring nearer and nearer to
us the blessed fact that God, in all the
dignity and glory of His Being. as well
as in the love and sympathy of His ma
ture, is our own God!-I,terior.

The Path Direct to God.

No amount of church control or
church creed alone is capable of keep
ing men near the truth. Men must
themselves be living and laboring in
the truth. The best guarantee for pur-
ity of doctrine in the long run is purity
and simplicity in living the simple cs-
sentlal doctrine. Some men in the r
pulpits and some in the pews, waste
good deal of time in studying how met
aphysics, aesthetics. philosophy. etc.
point to God. when they might be look
ing to God directly. These things are
sign-posts and have Their place. Bat a
guide who takes party to Mont Blanc
does not spend his time on the sign
boards. He points to the path and
Mont Blanc. 1t is the want of the soul
for God that needs to be satisfied. and
it can only be fully and safely satisfied
by God in Christ Jesus. Christian
