When he speaks of every high priest as
he does, V, and viii, 8, he gives an equiv
alent, and considerably more. But he
also uses the plural in vii, 81, 2S.
When we consider that one high
priest, as much as another, represented
Christ, and one annual atonement as
much as another, we should expect the
author would sometimes speak of them
in the plural, as he does above, and as
think he does in tx, 81. But as but
one service of only one of these could
be brought into the comparison, he
could not well avoid saying, "once to
die" depending on what he was about
to add, year by year." to guard against
pprehension. This seems to me
to be reasonable view of this subject.
1t is no more strange that he should
use the plural in tx, 81, than that he
should use it twice in two consecutive
verses, in vii, 81, %. And as he used it
in the plural in tx, 81, he would of
course refer to it by a plural pronoun
in X, l, for ''they offered the sacri-
fees, and not the people. WEN.

The sermons that we hear, are not,
indeed, lacking in knowledge, and we
may say in fitting appreciation of the

The curse of an uneducated ministry
has long since gone by. The evil of
which we complain is rather incident
to an extreme condition of affairs en-

sisting in a bookish habit of looking at
things, and disposition to let the mind
work in distractions, or on some high
road of dogma, that is too far aloof

The theory of DR.. Evans is spiritual and
Christian. In it God, Christ, and the human
soul are necessary and important factors.
The theory of DR.. Maudsley is atheistic and
materialistic. There is in it no God, no
Christ, no soul, no religion.

system, depends on the same psychology and

Mans spirit acts on and controls his brain,
his brain controls his whole nervous and vital
action, and thus by divine influence man is
restored to health.
In the same way one man can exert heal

mind can act on the brain, and through the
brain influence the action of all the vital or

LOTZE'S ESTHETICs

The OUTLINES OF EsTHEFIos. By Herman
Lotze. Translated and edited by George
L. Ladd. vol. 12mo. PIP. 113 Published
by CHM & Company, Boston.
This is one of series of valuable books
heretofore noticed in this paper. The au-
thor has made an original and valuable con-
tribution to the philosophical study of art.
1t is profound discussion of the philosophy
of beauty from the standpoint of the latest
German psychology. The outlines point out
the philosophical principles which underlie
our conscious experience of the beautiful
and show how the fine arts are an outgrowth
of the nature and wants of man as operated
on by the objective universe. The work
consists of seven chapters in which the author
discusses the subject of aesthetics, under the
several heads of Beauty and Fancy, the actu-
alzation of the beautiful and its kinds, music,
architecture, plastic art, painting, poetic art.
The treatment of the subjects, in the order
the whole book is packed full of profound,
instructive and practical thought from begin
ming to end The work is adapted not only
to the philosophical and practical student of
the different forms of art, but to the general
reader as well. Every man who wishes to
understand the philosophy of beauty, should
buy the book and not only read but study it,
Such study will educate the intellect, Gull
tivate the tasts elevate the thoughts, and pu-
rify the emotions The whole rational,
moral, social, and spiritual nature will be
improved by it.

THE PRESIDENTS MANSION.


No one can mistake the White House
now. From the bare stones of the cellar
to the gilt ball on the top of the flag
staff it shines in the sunlight with its
immaculate Wilderness.
This years piece of painting" said
one OF the attendants at the Executive
Mansion, " is the best that has ever been
given the house of the Presidents"
1t certainly is good piece of work.
Inside the house there is freshness and
cleanness which delights Mrs. Oleve.
lands heart. The large East Room glis-
tens with its gliding and write paint.
The carpets, after their good shaking,
look almost new, while the crystal chan
deliers, relieved Of the dirt and dust of
many years, reflect hundreds of rainbows
from their glass prisms. The private par
Tors, too, look neat and clean, and all
seems ready. Mrs. Cleveland will be
especially charmed with the change made
in her snug little boudoir. The little
room which she calls her own, was
dark and lighted by only one window,
and that opening out under the large
portico roof. While she has been away
this little room has had skylight put in,
and now the sunshine will shine on her
through pretty stained glass windows.
This little boudoir is remarkable room.
Here the lady of the White House has
gathered together all her little souvenirs
and knick -knacks. Here the little canary
bird bought by the President Just before
his bride came home from Europe, sings
to his hearts content. On the pretty lit
tie jardlniere by the window is the /" Mrs.,
Cleveland gloxinia," the new flower
named by the head gardener for the
young bride, which bloomed soon after
the honeymoon at Deer Park. In this
room Mrs. Cleveland has placed her
memeDtoes of school girl life. Quaint and
interesting they are, too. Here and there
on the walls and brackets are little articles
de Uertu picked up by Mrs. Cleveland in
her travels abroad, while remembrances
of the wedding are also to be seen. Mrs.
Cleveland has excellent taste in regard to
pictures and hangings, and the artistic
featurs of the room make it most pleas
ing to the eye. Mre. Cleveland has a
large card basket filled with cards from
visitors and people who left their names
for her. She also has a very pretty vase
full of notes and letters, which are curl
GUS in themselves, and which will prove
valuable in after life. The two large
scrap-books, containing accounts of the
engagement and the wedding at the
White House, are kept in this room, and
are valued among the greatest treasures
of the house. Altogether, the boudoir is
a pleasant plaee.-BaltinOr american.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CHILDREN.

The FIRST THREE YEARS OF CHILDHOOD. By
Bernard Perez. Edited and translated by
Alice M. Christie, with an introduction by
James Sully, M. A. ! vol. 12mo. PIP. 292.
A. N. Marquis & Company, Chicago.
This is a very remarkable book. 1t is a
scientific investigation of the physiology, but
more especially of the psychology of the ear
lier years of childhood. 1t is an original
study on this subject, and makes an able
contribution to its philosophy and science.
The translation is all that could be desired
by the English reader. The introduction, by
Dr.Sully, is very fine, and presents very able
argument to show the scientific and practical
importance and relations of the subject. The
author is French writer of fine ability, large
culture and extensive experience as stu
dent, investigator, and writer on human and
comparative psychology. The writer studies
and interprets the phenomena of mans
psychological development in childhood in
the light of the philosophy of evolution. He
shows large acquaintance with the literature
of the subject, and great interest in its inves-
tigation. He evidently has great natural
love for, and sympathy with children; and
this makes him an interested and enthusiast
tic student of their mental development.
The subject is new and the treatment origi-
nal, which makes the discussion both instruc-
tive and interesting. While the author is an
avowed evolutionist and believes in the
study of the development of mind as mani
tested through the material organism, he is
not materialist. He does not claim that
matter and mind are identical; that extern
sion and thought, weight and consciousness
are two forms of the same substance, or that
rational and moral phenomena are purely
the result of the physical organism. The
body is the organ, but not the cause of mind
To any one who wishes to read fresh, slim
ulating and suggestive discussion of new
subject by an able author, we would cordially
recommend this book. They will find in it
rich mine of original thought, that will am
ply repay them for the time and labor ex-
pended in the careful study of the work.

PROF. LUMRY's WORK ON FINANCE.

NATIONAL SUICIDE, AND IT'S PREVENTION. By
Oscar +. Lumry, Ph.D 12mo PIP. 224
Price, in cloth, 81 90; in paper, so cents
This is discussion of the financial history
of our country for the last twenty-six years.
The author makes a very strong argument
for the greenback or treasury note legal ten
der as superior to all other currency or
money. This argument is based on the finan-
cial history of France, England and the
United States and appears to be conclusive
The true philosophy of finance is presented
with great clearness and force, and the con-
clusion drawn from it is that an inconverta-
BILE legal tender paper money, resting upon
credit of the Government, is better adapted
to perform the function of money than any
other ever invented by man.
The argument from statistics is very able,
and shows, from a strong array of facts and
figures, that no other money has ever enabled
a nation to pass successfully through sea-
sons of financial depression The professor
proves from the decisions of the supreme
court, and the opinions of many eminent ju-
rists, that Congress has the Constitutional
right to make legal tender paper money at
any time that the wants of the eople de-
mand it,
The book is interesting and instructive
1t is especially adapted to business men,
farmers, mechanics, who need to understand
our financial system in order to vote intelli-
gently We very cheerfully recommend it
as an able discussion of the doctrines of
finance. Any one desiring the work can
order it from the author, Prof F O. Lumry,
Wheaton, Ill
