Every one who would make progress
in the moral life must cultivate and re-
fine his moral perceptions, just as he
who would make progress in the intel
lectual life must cultivate and refine
his mental perceptions. If, as Herschel
said, precision is the soul OF science,
precision is in a like sense the soul OF
morals. 1t is quite common to ridicule
moral "hair-splitting;" and yet there Is
in every moral question the situation at
which it is necessary to split the hair.
The line in ethics, as in mathematics,
has length, but not thickness. Bacon
saw that the advancement of physical
science depended largely upon our
power to render minute phenomena
perceptible to the senses by instru'
ments of measurement The mora

are our God-given instruments. 1t il

How the One Illustrates and Compliments
the Other.


Rev. John Hall, DID, recently deliv-
cred a lecture in the Church of the Holy
Communion. New York City, on THE
Old as Illustrating the New Testament
We copy the following report of the
lecture from the Christian Union:
"In answering the question: What is
the use of giving so much Importance
to the Old TESTAMENT" said DR.. Hall,
II would say, because it is part Of
Book coming, through sundry channels,
from the one inspiring Spirit; and if
| we want to know the truth by which
we are to live, and through which we
are to be sanctifed, we have to deal
with that book as unit. 1t is import
ant, in communicating the truth of the
Scriptures, to get words that can be
comprehended. The Bible does not be-
gin with series Of definitions; instead
of that, it conveys ideas by the most in
teresting narratives; and if we want to
understand the whole of this Book of
Revelation. we should not fail to COM
prehend the earlier Scriptures, as our
knowledge of them is assumed by the
writer's of the New Testament. Take
the words Justification, Regeneration,
Reconciliation, Acceptance, Atonement,
Israelites indeed, Born again, Medi-
ator, and so on; let us be mistaken as
to the meaning of these, and we fail to
catch the significance and get the bene-
fit contemplated by the inspired writer's
$50 to the second chapter of Genesis
and get there the word sanctiied. 1t
is used in relation to the seventh day.
God rested from his work on that day
and sanctifed it-separated it from the
common days. set it aside for sacred
purposes But turn to the New Tesla

Questioning Scholars

Questioning a scholar is quite as i'm
portant to the teacher for his own
sake. as to the scholar for his sake. A
teacher needs to know the limitations
of his scholars knowledge. and the
misconceptions in his scholars mind,
at every point under examination, in
order to be able to impart added
knowledge wisely; and to this end free
questioning of the scholar by the
teacher is a necessity. If. indeed.
teachers asked more questions, instead
of talking to their scholars. they would
be helped to teach more effectively.
When the lesson concerning John the
Baptists preaching in the wilderness
was under consideration. a teacher
asked one of his scholars: What Is a
wilderness?" Promptly the answer
came back: "A little house" That
scholars ignorance was APPALLING to his
teacher. Yet it was not thoughtless-
ness on that boys part which
prompted that answer. The boy had
been told of the Israelites going out
from their Egyptian homes TO live in
the wilderness, and OF their living forty
years in the wilderness. He naturally
inferred that a wilderness-as n place
to live in-was house; and as he va.
told that it was privation to tht
Israelites to live there. instead of IL
their Egyptian home, he took it fol
granted that wilderness was not
capacious house. but small one. Ans
. he might have been in error at tina
point much longer but for the enlight
ening that came TO his teacher through
!. his teachers question. There are prob
