SHOULD WIVES PROMISE OBEDI-

The British Weekly, London. in re-

Should wives promise obedience?" and

ing DR.. Augusta j. Chaplin Of the First
Universalist church, this city, wrote as
follows:
"a word from woman minister on
this side of the Atlantic may contribute
to the solution of what still appears 10
many perplexing problem.
"Woman in our day has come into pos
session of her inheritance as a human
soul. All doors Of culture and oppor-
tunity are open to her, and entering, she
has come unto her own. She is no longer
a child; still less is she chattel or
servant. She is now an intelligent. re-
sponsible human beings conscious
child of God. The word obey in the
marriage ceremony OF some Of the
churches is a mere survival from form
er condition of society. 10 our age it is
an anochronism. 1t is not too much to
say that to right minded men and wom-
en- the word is without significance. No
man worthy the name can ask such a
promise from his wife. and no woman
who understands her duty to herself, to
her husband and to heaven dares make

AN ATHEISTIC AND IMMORAL
DOCTRINE.
BY REV. STEPHEN CRANE. D. D.

The great obstacle to faith in the
worlds salvation today is in certain
notions concerning human freedom.
1t is not in God but in man that
doubt upon this point finds it's sup
port today. 1t is admitted that God
is on the side of the worlds salvation.
He is in favor of saving everyone. He
earnestly desires the salvation of all.
He is not willing that any should
perish but in certain sense he wills
that all should be saved and come
unto the knowledge of truth. Yea,
more, he is laboring to this end. He
is using all the forces of his truth and
grace for the salvation of all and will
continue to use these forces until all
are saved that can be saved. No one
will be ultimately lost if God can
save him, if he can induce him to lis
ten to his voice and obey his will, for
sake sin and come unto the knowl-
edge of the truth. On Gods side,
therefore, there is no obstacle to the
worlds salvation. So far as God is
concerned the world can be saved.
He is not only not opposed to that
salvation, but he throws the whole
force of his being in favor of it.
But the trouble is on mans side.
Man is morally free. You cannot
force him into salvation nor force sal
walton upon him. He must choose
goodness for himself or he cannot be
good. Therefore he may persist in
rebellion forever. Therefore some
souls, few or many, may reject the
light and love of God and therefore
be eternally lost.
Hence we cannot affirm the saliva
ton of all. We may hope for that
salvation but we can have no rational
and sure faith in it. If we believe
it we believe more than the evidence
will sustain. We take counsel of our
wishes rather than of our reason and
judgment.
Now it must be apparent to every
one that this position is atheistic.
The roots of the doubt are in God.
To every one who accepts it God is
not perfect. For DIR. Thomas never
uttered a truer word than when he
said, "To think of being who is not
perfect or who might be better is not
to think of God at all"
Evidently it is easy to think of a
being who "might be better" than
the one this doctrine sets forth. 1t
is easy to think of being wise enough
to devise plan that would save every
soul and powerful enough to execute
that plan so as to secure that saliva

wholesome, as the teachings of the
Book itself are helpful to him who
reads and reflects, who POWDERS and
practices. ''The men who are ac-
cused, sometimes by partisan preju-
dice, but oftener by party ignorance,
of destroying the Bible" said the
editor of the Christian Union, "are
really restoring it. The new criti-
cism is giving to us new Old Tesla
ment. The study of Hebrew litera-
ture is revived, and revived through
the influence of the critics who are
supposed to be destroying the faith.
1T is because of intellectual and
spiritual efforts put forth by these
very critics that Bible study has been
begun in colleges where it has been
long unknown; that classes for the
scientific study of the Old Testament
have been organized in Yale and Am
herst, in Wellesley and in Vassar;
that Bible conferences have been pro-
vided at Harvard, and volunteer Bible
classes organized among the students
themselves for the study of the Scrip
ture: that an Institute of Sacred Lit
erature has been created, through
whose influence the study of the Old
Testament by aid of popular lectures
is being promoted in the great edu-
cational centers, with prospect of
extending firstto the larger towns and
finally to the smaller villages"
3. Lastly, it is the avowed aim of
the higher critics of the Bible to fur
nish sure refuge for the faith of
man, to remove even uncertainty
from the letter about which men have
misgivings, awaiting their final word,
and to conserve the Bible in the ra
tional regard of men and not to des-
troy faith in it. DIR. Cone, President
of Buchtel College, and an editor of
The New World, and one of the finest
biblical critics of my church or OF any
church, says in answer to the ques-
ton, us the higher criticism destruc-
tive?" and speaks for the company of
critics: Criticism is the endeavor to
ascertain what is true regarding the
origin of the Bible, and if in finding
this out it is obliged to set aside some
traditional doctrines about the Bible,
it is not therefore destructive of a
real and well-grounded faith in the
book. On the contrary, its object
and, indeed, it's actual result are to
establish mems belief in the Bible
upon firmer and more rational
grounds, which shall not be 10 danger
of being shaken,'like those on which
it has hitherto rested" He says lit
may be shown that criticism results
in establishing an abiding faith in
the Bible, since it aims to indicate
the true grounds on which such a
faith must stand. 1t effects a dis,
elimination between false and true
grounds of belief, and leads to shift
ing of mems religious faith from an
unstable to solid foundation"

ton and that, toe, without interfering
with mans freedom. To think of
such being is certainly anything
but difficult. A God of infinite wis
dom and goodness is such being.
and as this doctrine does not think
of such being, as it virtually denies
the infinitude of Gods wisdom and
power, it is atheistic.
But further it is immoral. We do
not impeach the character of those
who hold this doctrine,-they may
be as good as other people-but we
do hold that so far as it goes this
doctrine encourages rebellion against
God, which is the root of all sin.
Whatever creates in us the feeling OF
weakness in the Power that claims to
rule over us, tends to foster the senti-
ment of disobedience in us. A weak
government always encourages rebel
lion. A teacher who is weak and un-
wise in his rule will not be obeyed.
A father who has not ability to rule
his own household wisely and well
will not secure the obedience of his
children. They will lose respect for
him and then despise him and finally
set his government at naught.
The same principle holds good with
God. Men will not respect, honor
and obey God who lacks wisdom
and power, who confesses weakness
and acknowledges the possibility of
defeat Men reverence power and
efficiency. A being who can do his
own will and accomplish his own de-
sires wins their respect and obedi-
ence. They will follow and obey him
often though his ways are evil.
But a being who is weak and ineff-
-cient, who cannot accomplish his pur-
poses or do his own will they will
treat with contempt and despise his
authority, no matter how good his
desires or benevolent his intentions.
To tell men, therefore, that they can
thwart the purposes of God, defeat
his will and render his efforts to Sc
cure their obedience useless. is just
the way to create in them the spirit of
disobedience. Tell them they can
disobey and that to all eternity they
will disobey. Assure them that they
have such freedom that even God
cannot bring them into harmony
with his will and they will use that
freedom even to their own destruc-
ton. No matter if you attach to such
use of that freedom the threat of pun
ishment they will risk the punish
ment for the sake of the freedom.
The thought that they can succeed
in their disobedience tempts them to
disobey Notwithstanding the suffer
ing it may entail.
The doctrine therefore that mans
freedom is unlimited, that in the use
of it he can virtually dethrone God
and work his own ruin in spite
of him is clearly immoral. 1t creates
disrespect for God and therefore
tempts to disobedience. 1t unhinges
morality at the very core. 1t exalts
the creature above the creator and
causes him to feel that he can act in
dependent of any sovereign control,
which cuts the nerve of all morality.
No motive is so powerful to produce
obedience as the conviction that we
must obey. When man feels that
he must obey he will obey. This
doctrine therefore is not only atheis-
tic but it is immoral in its tendency.
