Modern Discussion.

In the controversy now running in
the North american ReUie,D, between
DR.. Field and Colonel Ingersoll, the
spirit of courte4 exhibited by both
disputants is most encouraging sign
of the times.
To those who remember the bitter,
acrimonious discussion between Colonel
Ingersoll and Judge Jeremiah Black,
six or seven years ago, in the pages OF
the same Revie,U, the present discus
sion will show vast change for the
better. 1t shows that two men who
hold Numerically opposite views upon
q subject of the most vital interest to
humanity, can yet enter into a discus
sion and keep their tempers. The time
has been when men could not discuss
the goodness of God without coming
to blows.
The world is gradually learning that
no error was ever yet overthrow by
simply denouncing it. AS Herbert
Spencer declares, the most effective
method of combating error is not by
attacking it directly, but by simply
making a plain presentation of the
truth. BY unconscious degrees the
world is actually coming to adopt this
method.
In the good old days OF Jonathan
Edwards, we are told that neighbor-
hood rows that were transmitted to the
second and third generations were en-
gendered over discussions of "free
grace and dying love-" Families were
divided, and loving hearts were separ-
ated over differences of opinion on pre-
destination and REORGANIZATION. The
pamphlet wars of that time were al
most as bitter as New York news
paper discussion of the present day.
When arguments failed the sheerest
kind of personal abuse was employed.
Now all this is changed, or is rapidly
changing. Newspaper controversies
are now left to the small country week
lies. Papers regard their space as too
valuable to fill with denunciation of
their rivals. Everywhere, except in
New York City, where adjectives of
eighteenth century vehemence are still
employed with all their old-time en-
phasis, newspapers have adopted the
term, esteemed contemporary" instead
of "scurrilous sheet"
Discussions in the reviews are in the
main respectful and dignifcd. The
Ingersolk Field controversy will serve,
perhaps, as an example OF much of the
current review discussion. The pull
pit, as a general rule, fights shy of dis
cussions, and the preacher of each de-
nomination contents himself with pre-
senting what he regards as the truths
of his especial creed.
The tendency of the age is toward
broad catholicity and tolerance. Our
cherished ideas have been SO shaken
and convulsed. the beliefs once thought
as firm set as the everlasting hills have
so staggered and rocked with the
throes of modern thought, that we have
become charitable toward each others
beliefs and tolerant even to the limit of
indifference.-BOstOr Globe.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-02-29

THOMAS STEVENS, who went around
the world on "a bicycle" saw, in an out
of the way district of China, twenty
infants tethered to stakes on the
grass, like SO many lambs. Each had
about ten feet of rope fastened at one
end to bamboo stake, and at the other
a girdle about the child's waist. All
seemed contented. Their mothers were
at work in neighboring rice fields.
