Statesmen and Slave-Owners.

To he Editor Of the D1sDatch:
Soon after the war MIR. Hoar, OF Massa-
chusetts, said in speech IN the House OF
Representatives,: .,
"Slavery was not so much to be deplored
because of the cruelty to the slaves as on
account Of the ignorance and degradation
il entailed upon the masters"
Whereupon John Critcher, representing
the Northern Neck of Virginia. replied to
this efiect

ATTENDANTS.
Natural Laws Stronger Than Their Maker.


If Professor Davis had have called to
mind the fierce conflicts that have been
going on between physical science and
theology for the last two or three centuries
he would have been rather chary in assert
ing lis belief as to the inefficacy Of prayer
i'm the production Of rain. But we pre-
sumo the Professor thought that IN this
year of grace 1891 physical science had
sufficiently proved to the educated mind
that the laws of nature cannot be reversed
or changed by human supplications; that
they are as immutable as the Eternal Him.
self. But the Keli3ious Herald thinks 1t can
be done.
Now in this particular case of rain where
many thousands of prayers have been Of
fered up all over the Christian world for
the last eighteen hundred years for its
special production when sorely needed,
can the HrGd point out a single satisfac-
torily proved instance where rain has been
produced pIrOri by prayer? We will not
combat its impossiDility on account OF its
reoui, ing miracle to bring it about. for
this would involve theological controversy
which we have no idea Of engaging in.
But we simply say give us a well-attested
case where prayer has ever produced rain
and We will then be forced to believe that
the laws of nature are lnconstant.
Theology has ever been hostile to the en-
tightening truths as revealed by physical
science, but for whose patient and I'M
biased Investigations the human mind
would still be enthralled in the ignorance
and superstitions of the MEDIEVAL ages. and
John Jasper's would be no exception as to
their belief in Biblical astronomy, and
Brunos and witches would still be burned
at the stake. r. +. MEREDITH.
