HUXLEY AND RELIGION.
Was He Its Enemy or Its Greatest
Friend?

Was He Its Enemy or Its Greatest
Friend?
Huxley has come and gone. To-day
he is numbered among the enemies OF
the faith, but in not-distant to-mor-
row he may be named as one Of the
greatest Of it's friends, says McClure's.
In the language OF pure science anu for
all time, he laid down a principle which
removes the greatest stumbling block
in the path Of the eager seekers OF this
and future time. This is, that the ap-
prehension of the higher truths Of life
is within the reach of the aesthetic fac
,ulties only; that the human reason Is
not the door by which the truths OF re-
ligion find entrance to the mind, and
that 1t is no evidence Of the untrlth OF
religion that the reason alone cannot
receive 4. This had been said before,
nineteen hundred years before, but
Huxleys statement is the one for mod
ern skeptics need. Science learned IN
the late conflict to admit that. since
it's own depths are fathomless, it may
not reasonably expect that the great
mysteries of life and death shall be any
less so. And science is to-day beginning
to bring to the aid of religion help it
has never given before. Moral science.
using an infidel Napoleon who failed at
40 and Gladstone eloquent at so as H.
Illustrations, is now presenting the prac-
teal theorem that lasting success in the
life OF any man depends directly upon
mosri strength. Social science Is DEM
onstrating that that healthy state Of
public opinion which can alone con-
serve the vitality and progress Of COM
munities and nations depends absolute
~ upon the united support Of major
fty of the citizens given to moral code
which can have no existence except
upon a basis OF religious faith. And
the physical and human sciences, which
are known to be converging to a period
of great and wonderful discovery, may
eventually present us with the physical
organization of thoughts, with the per-
manency Of memory apart from the re-
cording body, and with the indefinite
endurance OF post-mortem personality
these and other facts, which will GER
tainly smooth the way to the general
acceptance OF religious conceptions
now difficult to the minds Of many
men. And when all these have been
discovered, and all these have been
told, they will all be found to have
been clearly stated in simple words in
the peaceful land of Palestine, nine
teen hundred years ago.

PARTISAN LAWYERS.

Their Life II Very Different from That
of tho American Attorneys.
Lawyers in France, according to
Rochester gentleman, who has just re-
turned from three years sojourn In
Paris, do not have such an easy time
as they do in this country, says the
Rochester Union and Advertiser.
There, far from encouraging the bright
young men of the land to enter into
the legal profession, 1t would seem that
that they are discouraged and every
obstacle thrown in their path, the re-
suit generally being that it is only a
rich man who can be lawyer. Under
the regulations at present In force
says this Rochester gentleman, "bar-
risters, after they have kept their
terms, and passed sort Of three years
novitiate, during which they have the
title of advocate, but have no voice In
the deliberations of the council OF dis
cipline, and are not inscribed on the
rolls, can plead during the three years
probation, but it Is sort Of empty
privilege in nine cases out of ten. When
an eminent barrister in France en-
ploys junior it is generally some one
incribed on the rolls; should he en-
ploy the probationer, the honor thus
accorded him must suffice. He does
not pay him. But he must live, and
here is where the problem comes In.
which is usually more easily solved
by the American or English young
lawyer than 1t is by his Partisan broth
err. In the first place, there is the out
lay for his gown, or beretta, which
comes close to so francs, unless he pre-
fers to hire it at the rate of 10 cents
per day. Then he must engage some
one to teach him department, for this
is an essential qualification in this
land, where King Etiquette rules with
an iron hand. The services of pro-
lessor of the conservatory must also
be called in to train his voice, unless
nature has been kind to him in that
respect. But these expenses are mere
incidents. He must, above all, not
live in small chambers and rent dingy
Offices. Poverty is poor key to open
the pockets of his clients.
