Our conception of Christianity, if we
are real students of it, is evermore a
growing thing. While truth as outside
of us, as an absolute thing, existing in
and by itself, is incapable of change,
truth rs within us, as n relative thing,
more or less apprehensible by us, is ca
pable of change, becoming by that very
fact a germ potential of all growth. AS
a matter of fact, the history of Christian
ity is ever and anon ~waymarked by
epochs Of Christian advance. Peter was
an advance upon John the Baptist, Paul
upon Peter, John the Apostle upon Tlul.
Athanasius was an advance upon Poly
carp, Augustine upon Athanasius, Calvin
upon Augustine. Each enlarged the
truth, not by adding, but by unfolding.
And so it comes to pass that in this
sense it is true that Christianity is ever
a growth. Being a perennial vine, it Is
ever yielding new wine.-Rev. George
Dana Boardman in Forum.

A Scandal in High Lie.

Boston, Mass Feb. "A scandal IN
which the pames of Harry W. French,
the traveller, author aud lecturer, and tnat
OF Fannie Smith, the. charming young
daughter Of Deacon s. d. Smith, presi
dent Of the Smith Organ Company, are
connected, is agitating the members of
the Congregational church in West Rox-
bury. When the stories reached the ears
OF the good deacon that his daughter was
conducting herself in a way that broke
her church rows and moral laws, he hu,-
tied her to Europe and called upon the
church officials to make an example of
the man who had led her astraY. Mr..
French is a member OF the same church,
and last night a meeting of the church
committee was held for the purpose of dis
ciplining hun. Mr.. Freuch was there,
and made au explanation Of his side of
the case. Some one discovered that the
action of the meeting was Illegal, no for
mai charge having been fled against Mr..
French. The meeting, therefore, ad-
journed without action. Mr.. French is
40 years old and has been married twice.
The young lady is but half that
age. Some lime ago they were
engaged, but the deacon opposed the
match so strongly that the engagement
was broken. Then, the deacon says. he
began 10 receive threatening letters from
French. demanding his daughters hand,
and backing that demand with an avowal
of improper relations. MIR. French made
no attempt to conceal his relations with
the young lady when questioned tonight.
He said what they both thought was a
legal marriage was effected. but some
fine aiterwsrd he found that he was mis-
taken. and although the ceremony would
be recognizcd as legal IN New York it was
not 70 in this state. Their relations con-
tinued until last October, when, under
parental influence, he says she informed
him that she must give him up and was
going abroad. 1t was not until after her
departure. he said, that he discovered the
error IN their supposed marriage, and all
his attempts to see Mr.. Smith and his
letters were with a view TO right the
wrong that he had unwlttingly done.
