Mrs. Sarah a. Skecls, an estimable lady

The reason why Stuart s Dyspepsia Tab

PHILOSOPHY FOR AGES.
An Interesting Paper on the Subject
Read by the Rev. DIR. Sewan.

Read by the Rev. DIR. Sewan.
The Society for Philosophical Inquiry
met in the Columbian University, yesterday
afternoon, at 40. In the absence of the
president, the regular order of business
was dispensed with and Mr.. Farquhar was
called 10 the chair.
The topic for discussion was Philosophy
as Affected by Nationality and was in
terestingly treated in a paper read by
Rev. Frank Sewall, Of the wedenbOrgian
Church. MI Sewau traced the philosophic
tendency in the Arian races 10 the Hellenic
realization in sculpture, art, and the drama
lie spoke of the prophetic vision in the
Greeks, and Of the Ionians' search for
divinity and origin.
Through the Indc-European race he fol
lowed the philosophic influence upon the
'Teutonic, Slavonic, Hellenic, and Gaelic
races. The burden Of modern philosophy
has been borne by the Teutonic and Celtic
races, and the latter has sUpplanted the
Hellenic influence upon philosophical
thOugit.
