THE PULPIT AGAINST THE PRESS.

The Ministerial Association of New
York has formally criticised the press
of that city in certain particulars.
This action seems to have been taken
at the instigation of Mr.. Moody, the
evangelist, and the resolutions adopt
ed are partly in the nature of approx
al and partly condemnatory of the
course pursued by journalism. Mr..
Moody, in several public addresses,
assaulted the Sunday paper. For the
daily and weekly editions he had
practically only words of praise, but
he thought that it would be better for
the Sunday edition to suspend pub
LEGATION, and he took the ground that
all Christian people should take a
stand against it. This, seemingly
inspired the Ministerial ASS ociation to
action, and the resolutions framed by
that body not only condemned the
Sunday newspaper IN toto, but attack
ed certain type of journalism repre-
scented in the regular daily editions.
In brief, the thing complained of is
the so-called sensational features Of
current newspaper work. That is to
say, the clergymen of New York OBJ
iect to the reporting of murder cases
in detail, and the publication of such
matters as might excite pruriency, or
as might awaken the baser p ropens
tiles of human nature.
Undoubtedly, there is ground for
the action taken by the New York
Ministerial union. Journalists, like
other people, deplore some of the ex-
IRENE features of modern news
paper methods. There ought to
be a limit to descriptions of
Objectionable scenes and events.
There are matters which intelligent
and good people will not speak of in
public, and the newspaper has no
warrant to offend the sensibilities by
intrenching upon that which is Ia
booe1 from ordinary conversation. 1t
is not so much the daily paper or the
Sunday paper per Sc as it is the char
acter of each. Every keen observer
can easily be satisfied that journal
ism is passing through period of
development which will leave it an
institution to be respected and ad-
mired, as we'll as to be feared. 1t is
rapidly being Invested of the dross of
filth and literary "slush," and the
better daily papers, as we'll as the
Sunday editions, are emerging from
the form 4tive period into creditabe
productions. which exemplify some
regard for the science and art of jour

EMERSON AS A SPEAKER.

EMERSON was not a writer, but a
speaker. On the platform his man
ner of speech was living part of his
words. The pauses and hesitation,
the abstraction, the searching, the
balancing, the turning forward and
back of the leaves of his lecture, and
then the discovery, the illumination,
the CLEAN of lightning which you
saw before your eyes descend into a
a man of genius, all this was Emer-
son. He invented this style of speak
ing, and made it express the super
sensuous, the incommunicable. Low

of the magician: "Emerson's Grafton

with him. 1t began nowhere, and
ended everywhere, and yet, as always
with that divine man, it left you feel
ing that something beautiful had
passed that way, something more
beautiful than anything else, like the
rising and setting of stars. Every
possible criticism might have been
made on it but one,-that it was not
noble. There was a tone in it that
awakened all elevating associations.

ARMENIA.
BY HENRY N. DODGE.

Oh, for the old Crusaders song
That stirred the hearts of men;
AS, lance in rest, his charger rushed
Upon the Saracen!
To Heaven arose valiant cry,
As poured his legions forth,
Their hearts aflame with burning zeal,
With indignation wroth.
Oh, for the old Crusaders fire,
His spirit high and strong;
His eager soul on rescue bent,
His sword against the wrongl
They fought but for an empty tomb,
Where once their Saviour lay
Hank, freemen, bark, the Sayiour's Bride
A champion calls this day!
o Monarch of the island throne,
So rich in fruitful years,
Hast thou no pity, no redress
For lone Armenia's tearsl
How oft thy fleets on every sea
With thunder shake the deep,
Yet silent ride while Moslem hordes
Their human harvest reap.
o Kaisers of the mighty north,
Who hold at your command
Your armed millions, strong and swift,
Yet raise no helping hand;

John and Peter and Robert and Paul:
God in his wisdom created them all
Out of earth's elements mingled with
flame,
Out of life's compounds of glory and
shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no will of their
own,
And helplessly into life's history thrown;
Born by the law that compels men to be,
Born to conditions they could not ioresee,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul:
God in his wisdom created them all.
John was the head and heart of his State,
Was trusted and honored, was noble and
great;
Peter was made meath life's burden to
groan,
And never once dreamed that his soul
was his own;
Robert great glory and honor received
For zealously preaching what no one be-
lieved;
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took
his fill,
And gave up his life to the service of ill.
1t CHANGED that these men, in their pass
ing away
From earth and its conflicts, all died the
same day.
John was mourned through the length
and breadth of the land;
Peter fell meath the lash of a merciless
hand;
Robert died with the praise of the Lord
on his tongue,
While Paul was convicted of murder and
hung.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul:
God in his wisdom created them ALL
Men said of the statesman, Chow noble
and brave!"
But of Peter, alas, He was only a
slave"
OF Robert, g lis well with his soul, it
is well;'
While Paul they consigned to the tor
ments of hell.
Born by one law, through all nature the
same,
What made them differ, and who was to
blame?
John and Peter and Robert and Paul:
God in his wisdom created them all
Out in that region of infinite light,
Where the soul of the black man is pure
as the white,
Out where the spirit, through sorrow
made wise,
No longer resorts to deception and lies
Out where the flesh can no longer con-
troll
The freedom and faith of the God given
soul,
Who shall determine what change shall
befall
John and Peter and Robert and Paul?
John may in wisdom and goodness in
crease;
Peter rejoice in infinite peace;
Robert may learn that the truths of the
Lord
Are more in the spirit and less in the
word
And Paul may be blessed with holier
birth
Than the passions of man had allowed
him on earth

STUDY OF The EARTH'S CRUST.

If one were asked to specify the
feature which, above all others, has
marked the progress of geology in
Britain during the past five and
twenty years, he would reply, the
enlarged attention given to the study
of the rocks, or Photography; and this
study has been revolutionized by the
introduction OF the microscope as an
adjunct to research. The rocks of
the country have become foremost
object of the study. In stratigraphi-
cal geology much closer attention
than ever before has been given to
the investigation of the most ancient
accessible parts of the earth's crust.
The fundamental platform on which
the fossiliferous rocks repose has
been searched for and has been de-
tected in several places where it was
not before supposed to exist. We
know more clearly than before the
general outlines of two or more great
geog raphical periods anterior to the
earliest relics of animal life.
Among the applications of pal@on-
tologY to the stratigraphical side of
geology the most important, in re-
cent times, has been the recognition
of life zones among the stratified for
nations and the adoption CT these
as clue to the Interpretation of the
sequence of strata, and even under
some risk of error of tectonic struct
ure, In the department Of geotec-
tones one of the most interesting
features has been the increased at
tention bestowed upon the nature
and results of the great movements
that have affected the crust of the
earth. Another distinguishing char
acteristic of the period has been the
increased interest taken in the his
tory of the earth surface, of its SUI
perficial topography as contrasted
with the almost exclusive attention
given by the older geologists to the
story of the rocks. The views re-
specting the possible age of the earth
have undergone several notifications
by biologists and physicists, with
accepted periods ranging from four
hundred millions down to ten mil
lions of years.
The latest phase of them is that
put forward by Professor Terry from
the physical side, that, on the as
sumption that the earth is not homo
geneous, as Lord Kelvin supposed
but possesses a much higher conduc
tive and thermal capacity in its inte
rior than in its crust, its age may be
enormously greater than previous cal
culations have allowed.-Sir Archi-
bald Geikie, IN Science Siftings
