Through the unbiased study of compare
tive rehgion-a far better way to arrive a.
the truth than the study of literary crit
cism-the figure of Christ is made to stanG
out as the greatest revealer of absolute
truth; and the supernatural elements which
have been welded into His gracious life
refined of trivialties which attached tC
them in other religions, are but the at
tempt of the human mind to clothe in fit
ting outward symbol the truth which
springs from within.-Helen A Clarke. in
the Popular Science Monthly.
1t is significant of the general dissatis
faction with the present state OF law and
custom regarding marriage and divorce
and with the abuses which diversity OF
laws has led to that such a body as the
Episcopal convention attempts to regulate
it by legislation of it's own. Whether the
addition of new legislation to that already
existing is the best way for great church
to help the solution of the problem does
not seem quite clear, but the discussion
and consideration of the subject by this
church during the next three years may
well be of great value.-New York En-
dmincr.
A mystery in the sense in which Pau
InanS this c a fruth fac ait haI
wholly or partially hidden from our view
lyet not the less truth or fact because thus
hidden. When we come to apprehenC
the truth, then, so far as we do apprehenC
it, it ceases to be mystery in the sense O.
not being known. The incarnation of Coo
in Christ is mystery as to it's mode; bu
being a revealed fact, it is not a myster,
as such fact, any more than the union be
tween the body and the soul in the consti
tuition of human nature. Both are facts
and as such are to be believed, though
} neither can be fully explained. -lndepend

The American Bible society reports thai
Bible distribution, that efficient handmade
of missionary effort, was 80 per cent larger
last year in South America than durins
any preceding year. The number Of
Bibles, New Testaments or parts disposed
of by sale or gift (mainly the former) was
81, S62 That this large increase was moi
the result of mere spasmodic effort is evi
dent when we learn that during the pas
ten years 264,4 copies have been circu
lated, of which 90,4S4 belong 70 the frs
half of the decade and ia, OBS to the last
half. These figures are exclusive of the
WORK of Valparaiso (Chili) Bible society
which sold during the past year 4.55;
copies, and during its existence of twenty
eight years has distributed 81 Az copies il
the republic of Chill.
