THE QUESTION Of RELIGION.
Matthew Arnold CritIcises brilliant
Skeptic.

We find a brilliant mathematician.
Prof. Clifford, launching invectives,
which. if they were just, would prove
either that no religion az all has any
right TO mankind's regard or that the
Christian religion, at all events, has
none. says one of Matthew Arnold's
letters. He calls Christianity that aw-
full plague which has destroyed two
civilizations and but barely failed to
Stay such promise of good as is now
struggling to live among men" He
warns his fellow-men against showing
any tenderness TO the slender remnant
of a system which has made its red
mark on history and still lives to
threaten mankind" The grotesque
forms Of its intellectual belief" he
scornfully adds, by way of finish, have
survived the discredit OF its moral
teaching" But these are merely the
cracking fireworks OF youthful para
dox. One reads it all, thanksgiving
half-smiling, as the defamation of a
clever and confident youth, with the
hopeless ineXperience, irredeemable by
any cleverness, of his age.
Only when one is young and head
strong can one thus prefer bravado to
Time, and, instead of listening to the
solemn and rhythmical beat of its
waves, choose TO fill the air with ones
own whOopings to start the talk. But
the mass OF plain people hear such talk
with impatient Indignation and flock
all the more eagerly to Messrs. Moody
and San'Iey. They feel that the brill
liant free-thinker and revolutionist
talks about their religion and yet is all
abroad in it-does not know either that
or the great facts of human life-and
they go to those who know them better.
And the plain people are not wrong.
Compared with Prof. Clifford, Messrs.
Moody and Sankey are masters of the
philosophy OF history.
Men are not mistaken in thinking
that Christianity has done them good,
in loving it, in wishing to listen TO those
who will talk to them about what they
love and will talk of it with admiration
and gratitude, not contempt and
hatred. Christianity is truly, as in
LITERATURE and Dogma | have called
1t, the greatest and happiest stroke
ever yet made for human perfection. -"
Men do not err; they are on firm ground
of experience when they say that they
have practically found Christianity to
be something incomparably beneficent
Where they err is in their way Of ac-
counting for this and of assigning its
causes.

THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE.
The Perfect Vehicle VIII Come Slowly
but Surely.

A little reflection Will convince any
one that the use Of motorcycles, or, in
other words, horseless carriages, will
improve the roads. Gen. NORM, of
France. is authority for the statement
that the deterioration of common roads,
except that which is causetd by the
weather, is two-thirds due TO the wear
Of horses feet and one-third due TO the
wheels of vehicles This being the case.
if the same amount as usual continue
10 be laid out upon the roads, and the
continual damage decrease two-thirds.
then the amount spent will go TO in
creased and permanent improvement,
barn floor"
There are many questions to be
solved, many difficulties to be sur
mounted, before the rnexceptionable
vehicle appears. 1t was a long time
before the difficulties OF making sew
ing machines, revolvers, repeating
rifles, typewriters and typesetters were
overcome Yet, examine them 1t is
all plain and simple, ana not at all
marvellous now, and We can hardly
imagine how any mechanic could spend
years of time studying over such easy
problems So it will be with motto
cycles. The mountains OF difficulty VIII
sink into molehills;, and the ingenuity
displayed will be found to take the
form of judicious application of or
binary mechanical appliances, approved
by the final umpire. the common sense
of mankind.
Those who build automobiles must
not permit themselves 20 think that
they were born with all the carriage
makers lore inherit in them. A man
may be a first-class theoretical and
practical mechanic and not be able to
make a good vehicle to run on wheels.
The perfect carriage, as We know it
to-day, is the aggregate of the years OF
exhaustive trial and experiment and
the improvements on that experience
made by 900 men of genius.
If the carriage builders bestow upon
the new carriage all the AZ; acquired in
building the old, and the motorcycle
men learn the reasons If the cOnven-
tionalities Of the trade and adapt their
improvements TO them, with reference
to the opinions OF those who are not
prejudiced against innovation they will
both work together in harmony and
with enc purpose, and, 50 united, they
will make rapid progress in the devel-
opment Of the inevitable vehicle of the
future.--Cassiers Magazine.
