MODERN THINKING ABOUT MAN.
Rev. Mr.. Prescott's Lecture at the Union
Gymnasium.

The subject of Rev. Mr.. Prescott's leo
ture yesterday afternoon was "Modern
Thinkin g About Man" The lecturer
affirmed that modern soien CO declares
the dignity of human nature, and in this
affirmation is at one with our own best
poets-with Whittier, with Longfellow
and with Emerson. From the third chap
ter Of Genesis theology has evolved the
unfortunate scheme of mans total de
prayity, springing from some primeval
sin. AS matter of fact the Bible teach
es in this old story that man passed from
state Of immortality, where he was
ignorant of good and evil, to q larger
stage of knowledge. Whoever advances
beyond mere anima1ity, must lose the
paradise of Ignorance and unthinkiEg
happiness. ST. Augustine formulated
this idea of mans natural impulses.
hence the doctrine largely colored by
Augu shines passionate sense of his own
early wickeGness) of total depravity
through an originalism.
Science reverses this order. and finds
man at the beginning not "a little lower
than the angels, =, but little higher
and only little-than the animals. We
have many Of the physical features of
animal life 1t would be we'll if all our
senses were as alert as their's-if our eyes
were as keen as the hawks, our teeth as
good rs our dogs, our muscles as well
trained as those of a thoroughbred.
Science, then, pictures primeval man
struggling with his environments, con-
quering nature with great difficulty.
But in even the lowest savages, are rudi-
ments of higher life groupings after an
ideal. 1t is through this power of an
ideal that all men rise in the scale OF
being, for it is only as he has this that
man begins to be moral being Before
that, he is like the animals, immoral.
But by this ideal mans infinite posi-
bilities are revealed. His upward way
may be hard, but, as Goethe has it,
whoever aspires unweariedly is not be.

m ans nature is pledge of his immortal.
ity.
Now the ideal of man is fulness of life,
completeness. the development and reali.
cation of all his possibilities. This COM
pleteness is even given as a command to
us in the words Of Jesus: Be ye there.
fore perfect. Not that this will ever lend
to an equality of being; we shall differ
from each other, but each one according
to his nature can develop his own pow
ers; each can strive to attain his owr
ideals, and in such development win
perfect happiness or blessedness

AFTER HARMONY.
Negotiations Between Engla nd and Amer
lea Are Said To BE Progress sing Well-A
Joint Commission Likely to Be Appoint
ed.

London, February 1s.-The Daily
News will say tomorrow that the me-
gotiations now in progress between the
United States and Great Britain will re
suit, according to the expectation Of tn.
best informed orioles, in satisfactory
settlement Of the Venezuelan boundary
dispute The paper gives the lines on
which the negotiations. are proceeding.
They are virtually identical with the
suggestions made by Mr.. G. W. Smalley,
the American correspondent of the
Times, for the appointment OF joint
commission.
The News adds that the comm ission
will serve rather as board of conoili-
alton than as an Arbitration board.
It is understood that before agreeing
to the scheme which, as last RESORT
would involve arbitration, Lord Sails
bury would require ut. agreement regard
ing the settled districts.
The News remarks that the United
States seems to assume quasi suzerainty
over Venesuzsla, which is the distinct
advantage to Great Britain.
1t concludes that q settlement on the
foregoing lines would be honorable to
both countries, and would be heartily
applauded by all parties here.
The Central News says that the ap-
pointment Of joint British and ssAmeri-
can commission to settle the Venezuelan
boundary dispute was suggested diplo-
matically week ago.
Mr.. John Morley, formerly chief score
tary for Ireland, who is contesting in the
Liberal interest the seat in the House OF

In the course of his remarks he said
he rejoiced that there was every indica-
tion Of solution OF the Guiana boun-
dairy dispute by the appointment of a

absolute sincerity that their sales in

for the same. The average weather has
