of the lines Of street cars Of this city'a

you, sir" said the woman, and long and
silently she wept.-the language Of the

LESSON SERIES FOR 1895.
INTRODUCTION.

Fully to understand religion, little
skepticism is necessary; but what is
also needed, and to an even greater de.
gree, is the imagination OF a believer.
The scientific weakness of Voltaire and
his followers was due to the fact that
they were not fortunate enough to have
had in their childhood those hours OF
naive faith, those souvenirs which. as
years go on, suddenly loom up amidst
the tumult of reasoning sense, and illum-
inc with a supernatural light the OBJ
scure paths of the pioneer mind, where
science, an alien, can but blindly grope.
Woe to the scholar who ap-
proaches things divine without having
in the depth of his conscience, in the
hidden indestructible recess OF his being
where the souls of ancestors sleep. an
unknown sanctuary, whence at times
rises breath of incense. line OF the
psalms, a pitiful or triumphant cry
which as child he may have sent forth
to Heaven, as his fathers did before
him. and which brings him into constant
communion with the prophets of old
Humanity has now an additional tor
ment which troubled the ancients but
little,-the scientific torment, which no
moral revelation can heal and OF which
the prophets do not speak. 1t springs
not from the heart Of man. the source OF
all certainty, but from his lack OF heart;
it comes down upon him from the stars
it ascends to him from the depth OF the
ages. 1t is for science, with it's slow and
progressive revelations, with its beauti-
full waking dreams. to pour. drop by
drop, it's balm upon the wound that will
always bleed. Still the lights OF science
are cold, like the lights Of polar sun;
and for souls instinctively bad it's balm
is narcotic or a poision. 1t will not
be wholesome or vivifyiug unless it
finds in the moral instinct the sap and
warmth Of life, and unless it is employed
in realizing God in man.

in old age. The apportionmens OF the
six Cities of Refuge, all Levitical cities,
three on the east side of the Jordan and
three on the west, and equi-distaut from
each other, is the beginning Of the modi-
fication OF the custom OF blood revenge,
which was continued until the custom
itself was declared by the Gospel to be
at war with the Right. In the story Of
Joshua Renewing the Covenant we learn
how, after eighteen years of temporal
prosperity. the Israelites were beginning
to lose their heroism of faith, and the
aged Joshua crowned his life as soldier
by becoming prophet and bringing his
people back from their incipient idola-
tries to the exclusive worship OF Je-
hovah.

A LIBERAL METHODIST.

Bishop Vincent. who has been conduct

Wesley. The one thing witnessed at
Chautauqua that seems TO have made
the deepest impression upon the writer is
DR.. Vincent's liberahty IN the matters OF
religion. He is Methodist bishop. whose
home is in Topeka, in orthodox, cvangel-
zeal, revivalist-ridden Kansas; but the
way he walked into the professional re-
vivalist and his scare methods at the
Sunday vesper service few weeks ago
was not slow, and must have sent a very
creepy feeling through the flesh OF some
OF his hearers. There were some among
us who wanted TO applaud but did not
dare on account OF the sacredness OF the
day and the occasion In one OF his
short addresses he spoke as II he really

Commenting upon the above the
Los Angeles Express says:
The reason gold is more valuable than
silver is because those who have con-
troll of the money market have decided
that il shall not be considered. II few
men like the Rothschilds were to decide
tomorrow that silver should be the
money OF redemption" as they are
pleased TO can it, gold would be worth
10 more, if as much, as silver is today.
The value of gold is purely artificial and
the creation Of money brokers who have
selected il as the standard of value; first,
because they are largely English and
the British empire produces gold but
practically no silver; secondly, because
the supply of gold is smaller and there
fore more easily controlled by few men
who own most Of the gold mines Of the
world.
But while the British government, to
please the bankers which control II, has
fixed a standard price for gold, and pre-
tends that silver is mere commodity,
yet it buys this silver coins it in the ratio
of 10 to and forces it on the Asiatics
for that value, showing again the power

metals as money is arbitrary and ar'l-
fetal. It is dishonest according to our
English creditors and their tools In THIS

the Eagle answers because the other

in circulation silver would double, prac-
tically, it's present value, to the relief
of every conceivable interest; if gold
should be driven out OF circulation,
and in failing to prove any longer
current as a specie money, be demone-
tized by the world, silver would not
only become the universal money of

same time remain a currency, but the

WHY GOLD IS STABLE

BY way of refuting the claim Of the
advocates of the single gold standard
that the value of money metal cannot
be fixed by law the Virginia City
(Nev.) Chronicle prints the following:
Here is a point OF value which has es-
capped general observation, and We think
is not mentioned in any Of the Coin"
