Tho Reception Of "Lux Mundi."

As was to be expected, the attempt to
reconcile religion and science made in the
collection Of essays lately published in Lon
don, under the title of LUX Mundi," has
proved unsuccessful. All the essays we're
written by graduates Of Oxford. who are
also clergymen of the Church of England,
and there is no doubt that the authors were
actuated by creditabe and conscientious
motives. Nevertheless, their undertaking,
though 1t has not provoked the storm Of
objurgation with which the Essays and
Reviews" were assailed thirty years ago
has been received with equal disfavor by
authoritative expounders of orthodoxy like
Canon LIDDoN and by such representatives
OF agnosticism as Prof. HUXLEY
or the essays collected In LUX Mundi" 1t
is the treatise on :" The Holy Spirit and Inspi-
ration" which is especially obnoxious to the
orthodox upon the one hand and the skepti-
cal upon the other. The tenor OF that treat
ise was peculiarly cautious and tentative,
most OF its positions being taken interroga-
lively rather than afiirmatvely. 1t Is clear,
however that the author conceded too little
to propitiate Prof. HUXLEY. and great deal
more than Canon LIDDoN will tolerate. The
essayist had ventured to suggest that. while
there Is flow OF inspiration through the
whole OF the Old Testament, this need not
be supposed to guarantee the exact histori-
cal truth Of the whole record. He pro-
pounded the query whether with due regard
to legitimate historical criticism, part OF It
could be pronounced true? BY adding that
the Scripturai record from ABRAHAM down.
ward was in substance strictly historical, he
Sepmnd tn NJ ok nOwlndO a that tha ranOrl from,
ABRAHAM upward must be regarded as un-
historical, and that the pre-Abrahamic mar
ratlves should be looked upon as mere
TYPES and parallels.
This attempt to qualify the trustworthi-
ness Of any part OF the Old Testament has
met with severe Reproduction from Canon
LIDDON. This eloquent divine, in the course
OF a sermon preached In ST. Pauls Cathe-
dral, declared that "for Christians 1t Is
enough TO know that our Lord JESUS CHRIST
set the seal Of His inialllble sanction on the
whole OF the Old Testament lie found the
Hebrew Canon as we have it to-day, and lie
treated 1t as an authority which was above
discussion. Nay more lie went out Of His
way " sanction not few portions Of ii
which modern skcpticism rejects. When He
would warn His hearers against spiritual
relapse He bids thom remember Lots wife.
When He would point out how worldly en-
gagements may blind tho soul to a coming
judgment, He reminds them how men ate
and drank aud married until the day that
NOAH entered into the ark, and the Hood
came and destroyed them all" The preacher
goes on to brush aside the argument
that JESUS was accommodating His better

EcclpsiaStiCal,

AS 1t seems to us, our esteemed contem-
porary, the Philadelphia North American
comments upon the case Of the Rev. DR..
BURTsELL with much more earnestnesS than
intelligence:
This is but one OF host OF symptoms that the posi-
ton OF lower clergy in the Roman Catholic Church
of this country is becoming intoerabe. 1u country
where one Is respected or can respect himself
unless he possesses much liberty as Is con-
sistent with his professional Obligations, the priest
hood denied tho liberty accorded in Bavaria
and Tyrol AMI placed under personal supervision
which designed only for missionaries the foreign
field As consequence there is country where the
Roman Catholic priesthood count for so little in general
society," in proportion their abilities aud character
They regarded one and all instruments in the
hands superors and responsible and free
agents For its own sake, no less than theirs the
Church must ind way out of this"
The error in these interesting observa-
lions consists in the idea that the position
Of the Catholic clergy has changed in any
respect whatever. Every Catholic priest Is
bound to render obedience to his Bishop,
and this obligation he assumes at the out
set. This has always been the fact, and 1t
is no moro the fact to-day than at every for
mer period. Along with every possible
variation In minor regulations, the clergy
vi DdNdIId VI luo L yioi arc JuoS 10 uluSh
bound to obedience as the Catholic clergy
of the United States; and priests here
have just as much independence as priests
there, no less and no more. This is the ma
ture and essence OF the Catholic Church,
and, II it were otherwise, the Church would
not be what 1t ever has been, compact,
orderly, disciplined, and coherent organiza-
ton, always following certain established
principles. and observing definite and I'M
changeable laws Of authority and action.
Our contemporary thinks that the Church
must find a way out OF this. OF course such
way is possible, but it would be the way OF
revolution. Reorganization, disappearance.
There would not be any Catholic Church
afterward, but only a series Of fragments,
with no more cohesion and no more har-
mony than are seen In the hundred warning
sects Of Professionalism.

mission 10 hunt for gold In MRshonaland. But
savage promises arc not always made TO be

OF his people.
Those Matabees are Zulus who long ago left

knowledge to popular ignorance, and he
also demonstrates the inadmissibilty OF the
alternative hypothesis that JESUS shared
the popular Ignorance. OF those who hold
the latter view Canon LTDDoN says: They
will find 1t difficult to persuade mankind
that, II JESUS could be mistaken on mat
ter OF such strictly religious Importance ms
tho value OF the sacred literature OF His
countrymcn, He can safely be trusted about
anything else. The trustworthiness OF the
Old Testament is, In fact, inseparablo from
the trustworthiness Of our Lord JESUS
CHRIST"
Curiously enough, Prof. HUXLEY arrives
at the same conclusion as Canon LIDDoN,
though from different starting point, and
perhaps with different motives He also
maintains that the trustworthiness OF the
Old Testament is inseparable from the trust
worthiness of CHRIST; and he insists upon
applying to the whole Scriptural record the
maxim fdtsus in uno Jdlsus in omnibus. He
challenges the LUX Mundi" essayist to
show any reason for faith in the divine no
ture (Which implies the omniscience) OF
JESUS CHRIST, If the essayist denies the his
torical truth even Of such sections OF the
pre-Abrahamlc narrative as those which re-
count the creation OF man and woman, and
their fall from primitive innocence. Prof.
HUXLEY quotes from Matthew xix, 5)
Have we notread that he which made them
from the beginning made them male and
female and said For this cause shall n
man leave his father and mother and cleave
to his wife. and the twain shall become one
flesh.'" If divine authority, adds the Pro-
lessor, is not here claimed for the twenty
fourth verse Of the second chapter Of Gene
sis, what is the value Of languagep Prof
HUXLEY proceeds to ask what--if one may
play fast and loose with the story Of the
Fall, as type or allegory-becomes OF the
foundation Of the Pauline theology, to wit:
For since by man came death, by man
came also the resurrection OF the dead. For
as in ADAM all die, so also in CHRIST shall
all DO made alve"2
1t is, indeed thankless task to try to
reconcile the conclusions Of modern science
with the plain meaning OF the Scriptural
record. Here there Is no middle path. They
that aim to trace one risk being regarded by
scientists as fools, and by orthodox theolo-
gians as knaves. Between the fate. however,
OF the authors Of Essays and Reviews"
and that OF the clergymen responsible for
LUX Mundi," there is this difference, that
the latter have not as yet been subjected to
concerted and rigorous persecution.

HURT SERGEANT DUNN'S FEELINGS.
The Cold Wave Got In In the Night TO Oct

Perhaps the only person in this city
who was not entirely satisfied with
tho cool wave which arrived here
early yesterday morning was Sergeant
Dunn. He knew the wave was coming. Of

the influences which other waves might have

The whereabouts of the Surplus.

Secretary WINDOW shows, in an unofficial
statement printed yesterday in the NenC
York Tribune, that the cphcring OF the gem
tlemen who regard tho Treasury as already
bankrupt Is not so accurate that 1t would
have commanded the admiration OF the latc
ZERAH CoLDURN, or OF our accomplished and
absent friend, Mr.. MATTHEW MARSHALL.
In the computations which Mr.. WINDOW
Justly crticiscs there are such errors as the
omission to include in tho Governments as
sets tho SIS, 600, 900 OF cash on hand, and the
reckoning among the Governments lia-
blities OF the si9oOO,O0O due by law
to the sinking fund in addition to
SOL. 100000 OF permanent appropriations
when in fact the $40 100000 for the sinking
fund is itself part Of the $l0l, 100000 OF per-
manent appropriations. These two errors
alone amount to more than one hundred
million dollars.
TIL ere is 10 immediate danger that the
Government will not be able to meet all It's
bills. The prospect is rather remote that
the United States will DO compelled to sell
at auction Gen. WAsHINGToN's dress suit,
Gen. LAFAYETTE's sword, the stuffed birds
and monkeys in the National Museum, and
its other treasures.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that the
surplus has gone to sheol. There is practi-
cally no surplus. A considerable lowering
OF the revenues, with expenditures still
maintained on the present scale OF prodigal
lberalty, would inevitably result in deficit;
q bookkeeper's deficit at first, and soon
afterward a real and alarming deficit call
ing for increased taxation.
With the surplus has disappeared the cele-
brated condition that confronted us; and
with that condition has disappeared like
wise all the political capital Of certain disn-
genuous reformers who are for free trade
without wanting to be called free traders
Since the Republicans obtained full con-
troll at Washington they have scattered the
peoples money right and left; and they will
continue to spend and squander it with
recklessness, because they are the party Of
centralism, OF paternalism, OF interference
In thousand costly ways with matters that
do not belong to the Federal Government
as it was devised by the founders Of the
republic Capitalization breeds usurpers.
paternallsm breeds extravaganza, extrava-
gance breeds official iobbery and all manner
of corrupt practices; and then finally there
is tidal wave.
The surplus is in sheol, and Its disappear
Rnce under Republican management in an
short period Of time leaves the
real issue plain to the sight Of the people.
