PROBATION In THEOLOGY.
BY REV. S. CRANE. d. d.
(Norwalk, o.

Perhaps enough has been written of
late on the subject of probation, but as
this is the great question of the hour,
another word may be helpful to some
reader. Our word will be in the direc-
tiOn of showing what the term proba-
tion means in theology; what it's real
import is in theological science. We
would show what the root idea of this
term is when applied to religion, with
out which it has no particular theologi-
cal significance.
1t is important that we do this, for
the word is often used in very loose
way; in so loose a way that we fiud
believers in universal salvation employ
ing it. They seem to think that they
are teaching the doctrine of probation
if they teach that the present life inhu-
ences the next; that we will be
rewarded or punished in the next
world for what we are in this, and that
the opportunities of repentance and
salvation exist there the same as they
do here. But this is a mistake.
OF course the word may be so used.
In popular way it may be employed
in this sense. The word literally means
to prove or try, and therefore may sig

ions are mixture of materialism, ag-
nosticism, determinism, and positiv-
ism. The humanitarianism which he
advocates could easily be shown to be,
in idea and object, the direct product
of Christianity. We suspect that very
few even of his admirers are prepared
to accept his slurs on the character and
teachings of Jesus.
Mr.. Ingersoll is intelligent, and
knows that the real leaders of Christian
thought do not hold all the opinions he
attacks. But he also knows that those
beliefs which he most successfully as
sails are held by large number, and are
generally supposed to be the common
opinions. We should inquire diligently
how the Gospel may be presented to
those who are not highly educated at
it's greatest advantage in clearness,
reasonableness, and consistency, and
so that infdelity shall have no undue
advantage in popular estimation from
tu6 ullSLdhSO Vi uGI1OW uSSS VI uOSultss
The task and the test of modern Chris
tianity are in the direction not Of
classes having superior intelligence,
but of classes having ordinary ard in
ferior intelligence. This demand is
well stated in volume of disc0urses
recently issued from the pen of the late
Roswell D. Hitchcock:-
Christianity triumphed over the
Cr4co-R Roman civilization; has tri-
umphed in medieval and modern
Europe, has, in shoIt, conquered all the
best races in history thus far. Now,
can it conquer to the bottom, as it has
already conquered to the top? . Can
it evangelize its own cities, going down
into the cellars, up into the garrets of
its own heather at home? Hard as
the task may be, Christianity stands
squarely committed to it. If Chris
tianity fails in this, its supreme en-
deavor, it is not of God. But it will
not fail"

HOME BUILDING.
BY Mrs. NJ. A. HOLCoMBE.

The building of home is more than
four square walle humble or gorgeous in
it's structure. 1t Is more, too, than walls
decorated with plain or fancy designs.
1t is more then meat, drink or raiment; !;
it is more than sleep or rest. Though
these are needful for physical growth,
beauty and development still, there is a
temple unseen that must be wrought
upon to make the home an acceptable
one. These invisible or indwelling tenn
pies are radiatlng in every direction,
drawing witt in the circle of their power,
by the law of attraction, helpers, to build
up not only homes but societies, multi
plying until whole communities become
a unit in we'll doing.
1t is not the great things Of an age that
make happy homes or useful and we'll
spent lives. The little events, the CLEAN
ipgs frequently cast halo OF light about
the pathway.
A cheerful disposition is a motive
power in the home When Jeremy Tay-
lor hau lost al! by his home beng plum
deIed ana his family driven out of doors,
it is written of him that he did not give
up, and with folded hands despair, but he
looked about him, ssying: They have
left NE the sun and moon, q loving wife,
and many friends to pity me, and some
to relieve me; and l can still discourse;
and unless I list, they have not taken
away my merry couptenance ana my
cheerful spirit aud q good conscience;
they have still left me the providence OF
God, and all the promises Of the Gospel
and my religion, aud my hopes Of heaven
and my charity to them, too; and still /
sleep and digest, eat and drink 1 read
and mediate finally saying, Who
would choose in viewing all these bless
ings and pleasures TO sit down upon his
little handful OF thorns T.

legitimate place. Whoever holds that
God has fixed a period in which man is
free to accept the offers of mercy, OF
not, as he chooses, and that he has
suspended his everlasting destiny upon
the choice he makes during this period,
has a perfect right to call this life OF
some portion of existencea probation.
In this scheme of thought probation is
very proper word to characterize
this life or this period. Whoever does
not accept this scheme of thought must
look for another word. In another
article we will look for that word.

THE QUESTION OF DUST
BY REV. r. Fl. PULLMAN.

Rev. Royal II. Pullman, pastor Of the
Universalist church, Baltimore, recent
ly preached on the Question of Dust, -"
which occupied so much time during
the Southern Presbyterian General AS
sembly recently held in Baltimore. He
took for his text II Timothy, iii.
Is: "An Scripture is given by the
inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction;
for instruction is righteousness" He
! said: The Southern Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly has been engaged for
nearly week past on question of
dust-the dust Of Adams body
whether it was like the common dust
of which other animals were created or
| more arist0crstic and refined in quality;
and, again, how it came to be formed
into the comely shape of Adam him
self, and about how much time was
consumed in this work of formation,
whether it was an instantaneous work
ora work Of several thousands-possibly
millions Of years; and, again, whether
it was work of evolution, or strictly
artistic and mechanical.
These questions must have been con-
sidered to involve very grave issues,
else they would not have held the at
tention of this great ecclesiastical
body so long. And it must be confess
ed that a coed deal was made out of
this dust. The discussions were full
of interest, instructive and provocative
of thought. The matter came before
the Assembly on an appeal of DR..
Woodrow from the synod of Georgia,
in which synod he was practically held
as hereto for advancing and teaching
the scientific hypothesis of evolution,
and in the case of Adam that he was
evolved in the long processes of
creation from lower forms of brute
life. The case went against DR.. Wood
row by a vote of 109 to 81.
This decision was disappointing to
many who listened to the mas terly
speech of DR.. Woodrow on Saturday
morning. But the close student of
Presbyterian history was rather disap-
pointed at the really respectable vote
of 81, nearly One-third of the entire
vote cast. AS an outsider, but deeply
interested in the struggles going ON in
all churches for an advance for higher
and broader thought, feel like con
graduating this Presbyterian Assembly
On the fact that their are thirty-four
brave commissioners who sustained
personal lioerty III scientific research
and Bible study, and who put them
selves on record as believing that this
scientific hypothesis of evolution does
no violence to what the Bible teaches
upon the subject Of the creation of
Adam. Among all the denominations
the Presbyterian is most conservative
and slOwest to advance. Slavish devo-
tion to the standards of the church is
the secret of its hating Oh this and
kindred questions. If really this de
nomination was foreoTdained to cling
to the standards, of course we cannot
blame the members of this church. It
is difficult to see how they are respon-
sible for their acts. But what are
these standards but the interpretations
of their wise men and theOlogians as to
the teachings of the Bible? We may
entertain great respect for the opinions
of the fathers, but there is no reason
for wOrshiping their eschatology they
