Theology a Progressive Science.

Theology q PrOsressfVe Science.
Theology is always as much a pro
gressive science as geology. If 1000 of
the wisest, purest, most intellectual,
most healthy scholars in Christendom
today were to formulate a creed out Of
the New Testament scriptures, as they
are known today, that theology state
ment could not remain the same to the
date of A D. 1892. The power, the
thought, the study of a thousand years
would throw it into new forms of ex-
preston, while the substance would re-
main the same.-Beacon.

citation has charged it with being a trust
organized for the purpose Of controlling.
all Of the Alliance business and
that it presents no cooperative
features. The fight has become
so bitter that either the Union
company or the reform press must sever
its connection with the Alliance. The
National Union company has gained
control of the Alliance business in South
Dakota and other.Alliance states, and
the fight has become general. DR.. Nc

Press association, received q dispatch
from New York stating that his sus-
PIGEONS were correct. The officers and
directors Of the company are eastern
capitalists, and the secretary of the re-
