CHRISTIANS AND EVOLUTION.

One who believes in the God of Chris
tianity is bound to believe that creation
is his work from end to end that it is
rational work, and the work of being
who is wholly good. He is bound to
believe that Goods mercy is over all his
works." that mot sparrow falls to the
ground " without his knowledge, that
there are design and purpose every
where. But he is not bound to know or
to say that he knows what that purpose
is, or to show that marks of beneicence
are everywhere apparent. Still less is
he bound to assert, as the old theology
did, that he can demonstrate the wis
dom and goodness of God from Nature
alone. Evolution starts with an "act
of faith" postulate of our rational
nature, viz, that everything is rational
and has meaning, even that which is
at present irreducible to law. In this
belief much which was once meaning
less becomes Ineligible, and a scien-
tlhc mans faith is not staggered by the
fact that much as yet remains outside,
which science has not yet explained.
On the moral side also we start with an
"act Of faith" postulate of our moral
nature, that God is good and cannot be
the cause Of meaningless and unneces-
sary pain. And our faith is not stag
gered by much which seems, as yet, like
useless suffering. Even if Darwin's
mature judgment, that on the whole
happiness decidedly prevails" were
not true, we should still believe in the
goodness of God, in spite of all that
seems to contradict it, and look forward
to the time when our children, or our
children's children, will see clearly what
to US is dim or dark.-From "Daroin-
ism and the Christian Faith" in the Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Let us remember that God gives Lib

Let us remember that God gives lib
eral interest for every year that he
keeps our prayers unanswered, and that
what becomes US is to wait at his foot
stool, and not to hurry his arrange
ments. The most luscious fruits are
those which are longest in maturing;
the richest blessings are often those
which take the longest in coming. An
unripe blessing may prove sour to the
teeth, and unhealthful when partaken
of. Impatienee is almost always &C.
companied by loss.-Rev. p. b. Poaoer.

1t is not so surprising, says Lon
don Figaro, that Mathew Arnold should
have made an attempt to jump the low
fence which he came upon in the course
OF the walk he took on the day before his
death, when it is remembered that he was
at Rugby at time when the high jump
was cultivated more, perhaps, that any
other athletic exercise. It is written in
the annals Of Oxford, too, how on a Ger
tain Sunday afternoon, some forty years
ago or so, soon after young Arnold had
been elected fellow of Oriel, he cleared
the well known spiked ratings in front
of Wadham College. The actual height
of these ratings is five feet three inches
and the fact that Arnold jumped them
from the college side and alighted on the
fisgstone OF the street pavement is con-
sidered to add to the merit Of the feat.
In his Rugby days, Arnold cleared at
least two inches more than this.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale thinks
that DIR. Maroon, a French scholar, has
proved the point which he has long been
laboring to establish, and shown concIu-
sively that the name america" was not
derived from "Amerigo" or "Americus"
Vespucius, but that the Florentine navi-
gator was himself called 'Americus," be-
cause of his explorations in the New
World, where tribe of Indians dwelt,
and dwell to this day, known as the
"Ameriques." The theory is that geogra-
pliers slowly came to use the name to
distinguish the continent rather than the
islands, and that Vespucius was simply
nicknamed "Americus' as one of the Sci
pios was called "Africanus."

Gen. Lew Wallace, author of aBen

Gen. Lew Wallace, author of "Ben
Hur" is thus described: "In appearance
Gen. Wallace is decidedly distlng uishsd
His eyes are keen and dark, and when he
talks he regards his listener intently. His
shaggy brows, hair and beard, once black,
are now iron gray; he is above medium
height, somewhat stout, erect, well pro-
portioned with soldierly carriage and
bearing. To strangers, while he is al
ways courteous, he is somewhat unap-
proacbable, but to his friends he is at
all times most delightful and genial
companion. No higher compliment can
be paid him than to say that he has re
manned wholly unspoiled and unaffected
by the high honors that have been be-
slowed on him, and the brilliant success
which has followed him throughout his
career.

At seventy six Mr.. Browning does
not look to be much more than forty, nor
act so. He goes everywhere and sees every
thing. Within few days he went to the
funeral of Matthew Arnold, to the Acad-
envy, to the Grosvenor, and the New, to
say nothing of numberless "At Homes"
Mr.. Browning has no affectations.
Unlike his friend and contemporary,
Lord Tennyson, SLOUGH hat and long
cloak in some country "pslace of art"
have no charms for him. London, the
city of his birth, is his favorite dwelling
place, although he will be buried by the
side of his wife in the Florentine ceme-
terry.

The real name of Emin Pasha, to
rescue whom Stanley started on his ex-

Besides having developed ability as SOL

deeply versed in medicine and the nat
ural sciences, and is master of many
languages. 1t is so long now since Stan

most hopeful have grave fears for his

CONSCIENCE,

BY THE REV. JOHN LIGHTFooT, M. A.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-07-14

one would care to assert that every
conviction honestly entertained Is in
fallibly right. Yet, on the other hand,
we cannot suppose it possible for con-
science to err without obviously sur
rendering It's claim to be the divine
gift for the guidance of conduct. To
say that all men are obeying the voice
of conscience whilst pursuing the most
opposing lines of conduct, simply be-
cause certain opinions are honestly en-
tertained, is to rob conscience OF all
value whatever. In this case there
would be no fixed principles of moral
ity, and for 'every man to do thai
which is right in his own eyes" is con-
duct not to be condemned, but rather
approved. But surely / need not say to
you how, from Socrates in the ancient
world to Emmanuel Kant in the
modern world, the best thought of man.
kind has rejected such a conception as
this, and how, with marvellous unan-
unity, it has re-echoed the words of
the divine Lord, who said, Heaven
and earth may pass away, but my
word shall not pass away"
And, as a matter of fact, even when
we compare the most widely conflicting
judgments of men, we do find very
general agreement upon matters of
right and wrong. Take the elementary
forms of rectitude, such as truthful
ness or justice; you never find these
reversed. No nation has ever placed
these in the category of moral evil. 1t
