Of the nervous organism and brain
action. In this he confounds the con-
ditions of mental action with its cause
and makes the material instrument
of intelligence its source.
Scientific evidence proves that
brain action accompanies mental ac-
ton, but not as its cause. That prop
osition would be pure assumption.
There is no scientific evidence that
the action of the brain is the cause of
mind. Standard authorities in men
tai physiology regard it as the minds
instrument, and not as its cause.
This theory of the relation of brain
to mind will account for, and expl ain
mental phenomena on both it's psy-
Geological and physiological sides.
This proves it to be true, because it
gives rational solution of the prob
lem presented in the phenomena of
mental life.

MATERIALIsM.
BY REV. VIM. TUCKER. D. D.
First Paper.

Is materialism dead as some claimi
What evidence is there to support
such claiml Where is the proof of
the truth of such statementi The
fact is that never in the history of
speculative or scientific thought were
there ever more or stronger advocates
of the doctrine of materialism than
at the present time. You find it reveal
ing its presence and influence in lit
erature, philosophy, science, medicine
political economy, theories Of social
reform, politics, law, ethics and re-
ligion. 1t was never more plausible
in its arguments, never more specious
in it's logic, never more alluring in
the forms it assumes, and never more
enticing in promises that it makes.
When it is boldly advocated by
such men as Tyndall, Huxley, Buch-
ner, Spencer, Strauss, Haecbel, and
their present influence in scientific
