ully tested. It isal-
1fiing sth common senss No
assurance on behalf of Chris
,i&n thinkers that they watch the
progress of physical science with the
keenest interest and satisfaction, yet
unless the assurance be given in the
plainest terms theologians will be ex-
posed to that easiest of all literary
ilnputations, the fear of the advance
ment of any knowledge that is not
distinctly religious. Physicists have
so often, happily for the best interests
of science, contradicted and corrected
each other on matters of fact that il
may be prudent to wait before abs, :
iately deifying any theory that has
yet been propounded. The scieSce of
one age has been the laughing stock
of the next. The chemistry of the
Greeks is little better than barbarism
to modern Europeans. The Hindoos
thought that the earth required TO
be supported by an elephant; but the
earth turned out to be quite capable
of supporting itself and hanging self
balanced on lis own centre. Hun
dreds of such instances could be
easily supplied. As compared with
Christian theology, science as it is
now urged upon us is but OF yester-
day. Little more than century ago
next to nothing, IN view of what is
now known, WAS understood OF heat,
electricity, and magnetism. Science
is young, and some of the privileges
of youth may be allowed to il. 1t
might be inferred from the tone of Il
few living writers that the whole
sphere of scientific investigation has
been exhausted, and that perfect
unanimity marks the counsels of all
physical philosophers. As a mere
matter of fact there are writer's of
ACKNOWLEDGED authority on scientific
subjects who have successfully at
tackled the whole line of Mr.. Huxley's
anti-spiritual position. This should
be remembered by readers who have
examined only one side of the subject,
for there is danger of forgetting that
what is difficulty to one man, may be
no difficulty TO another, and that a
wall may appear TO be very strong
until the force of opposing guns have
been tried upsn il. Mr.. Huxley's
"protoplasm" is just such wall-or
rather il is a wooden fence, before the
fire ct Christian criticism. AS mat
ter of fact there are men of science,
eminent as professors and expositors,
endorsed by the highest university
honors, who distinctly repudiate Mr..
Huxley's doctrine, and from a Chris
tan standpoint answer and overthrow
his ill-reasoned and frivolous objec-
lions. An eminent professor of sci
ence who has taken the trouble to
inquire into the statistics of German
literature, finds that out of thirty vol
umes published within given period,
not fewer than twenty were upon the
side opposed TO such teachings as Mr..
Hnxley's, and were, without excep-
ton, by authors of established credit
and repute IN Germany.

The value of reading as an ac-

as never-failing source of happi-

In this way one becomes acquainted
with the customs and manners OF
people of all periods. He is in the
broadest sense a denizen of the

COMMUNION WITH GOD.

In driving piles a machine is used
by which a huge weight is lifted uT
and then made to fall upon the head
of the pile OF course the higher the
weight is lifted the more powerful is
the blow which it gives when it de.
scends. If we would tell upon our
age, our words and our example
though they have weight, will accom-
plish but little unless we be lifted
high above the world and as near to
God as possible. All our power will
depend upon the elevation of our
spirits. Prayer, meditation, devotion
communion, are only the means
which act rs a windlass to lift us up
it Is not lost time which we spend in
such sacred exercises, for we are thus
aecumulating force, so that when we
come down to our actual labor for
God, we shall descend with an energy
unknown to those to whom com
munion is unknown.

The bankers pretended that the trading

that the Staudifords themselves were
the real traders. Their dealings were
heavy, amounting sometimes to 900, 600
bushels of grain per day. Orders were exc

A BLAZE AT HALIFAX.
1t Broke Out in Mill and Swept
Several WharVes.

1t Broke Out in Mill and Swept
Several Wharves.
HALIFAX, N. s., Oct. 2.-The most dis
astrous fire that has visited Halifax for
years broke out before II o'clock last night
in the Merlin planning mills on Taylor's
wharf, near the Cunard wharves. In few
minutes the place was all abaze, ana the
fire spread rapidly. A breeze from the
north carried showers of live sparks to the
buildings. vessels and wharves south of the
fire. The whole department. was called out,
and then engines from yarmouth came over
to render assistance. Within an hour Mer-
Inns mill, Wilson's blacksmith shop, John
Taylor q Co.'s big fish warehouse, filed
with picked fish; Brockfeld Bros lumber
wharf and yards, all on Taylors and Brock
fields wharves, were destroyed.
SPREADS TO ANOTHER WHARF.
By this time the fire had spread to the
Liverpool wharf on the north and burned
out Buffers spar yard, B. Sweenerton,
mills agents; the Halifax broom factory,
j. B. Nelly & Co., commission merchants,
and Shotford Bros oil stores. Large guam
titles of petroleum were stored on this
wharf. An explosion was prevented by
rolling the oil into the dock. The fire also
spread simultaneously to the south wharf
and soon the immense warehouse of John
Taylor q Co, was prey to the flames.
THE WHOLE BLOCK GONE.
By O'Clock the whole block from j ohn
Cronins' on the south and north side and
H&mlltons wharf on the north. almost ad-
joining the Cunard wharves, had been de-
stroyed. A Gcore of schooners aU the burn
ing wharves and those to the north were
safely moved out into the haTbor. The fire.
mon at o'clock were directing their eff
forts to prevent the burning OF the big fish
warehouse of Daniel Cronin on the south
and the buildings of T. A. s. Dewolf &
Sons, agents of the Apchor line, on the
north.
THE BURNED PROPERTY.
The property destroyed extends along the
wharves from Crouin's wharf on the south
to the Cunard Company's wharf on the
north. The buildings destroyed were mostly
wooden. The trades affected were chiefly
lumber, oil, fish. groceries, spar and sail
lofts and commission houses. AT Q o'clock
this morning the military were called out
with their whole fiie apparatus to help the
civil authorities, or to protect ordnance
property, as might be rendered necessary
Several buildings were blown up TO stop
the progress of the fire.
ALL NOT ENTIRELY BURNED.
| Some of the buildings in the district
burned over were only partially destroyed
and others were only slightly damaged. The
total loss cannot be given at present and
the estimates vary greatly. ranging all the
way from 800, 900 to S400. 900. None of the
| buildings destroyed were of much value.
| The total insurance on the property de-
stroyed amounts to 1928, 900, which will not
begin to cover the losses, because the risks
were extra hazardous or totally rejected.
