whose years are throughout all gene
rations, that he should suppress all
rebellion throughout his ample do
mains, and subdue the rebellious,
and bring them to hearty and will
ing confession of their faults, &C
acknowledgements of his authority, and
obedience to his laws, and conse-
quent safety and peace. Such a
consummation is much more COM
patible with the glorious character
which all Christians ascribe to the
Author of our being, then the suppo-
sition that he will exercise his stern
and useless severity in the condem-
nation and ceaseless misery of
large part of his creatures. He has
power amply sufficient, and is there
fore able tc perform it. He has good
ness without limit, and is therefore
willing to perform it. He has wis
dom abundantly sufficient to con-
trive and carry into operation all the
means necessary to perform it. And
he has promised and sworn that unto
him 'every knee shall bow, and
every tongue shall swear, in the
Lord have L righteousness and
strength"
1t is, therefore, wholly incompatible
with his truth, to suffer failure of
this glorious promise, and it is wholly
inconsistent with his holiness to allow
sin and misery to continue, and mar
the beauty and harmony of his works
throughout eternity. The conclu-
sion then is, that since God is immor-
tai, eternal and supremacy blessed, he
will overcome the conquering powers
of death and the grave; and will
bring his children, immortal and
glorious, unto His own presence
where there are pleasures forever
more.
Solemn and appalling as may be
the desolations of time, an assurance
is given in divine revelation that they
shall be succeeded by day of eternal
rest and glory for the entire race CT
mankind. And this assurance is GER
tainly calculated to afford consola-
ton and mitigate the sorrows of life.
1t bids us cease complaining and to
believe that "when the dream of life
is fed" day of immortal youth will
dawn for all. 1t comes as a divine
message, declaring the renovation
and purity of sinful beings, and their
acceptance with Him whose years
shall have no end. We are to con-
fide in that unseen power, who, if he
change the "body of our humiliation"
shall, however, so change it that it
shall be fashioned like unto his glor-
ious body according to the working
where by he is able to subdue all
things unto himself"

MODERN sUPERNATURALIsM.

How is the supernatural to be
thought in our day? Evidently it is
not to be thought as the unnatural.
To think the supernatural as some
thing unnatural, or opposed to nature,
is not to think along the lines of
modern supernaturalism. That is to
think not the modern, but the tradi-
tional or old supernaturalism The
view or theory in which that notion
of the supernatural obtains is some
thing like this: God created the
universe in six days and rested on
the seventh; let these days be longer
or shorter. Over to this universe he
made SO much power as would not
only start it but keep it in motion,
and it was pronounced good and in
tended for good. Man was the fin
ish and crown of this creation, and to
him was given moral freedom.
But no sooner does this free being
begin to act than he goes wrong and
sins a great sin. This sin subverts
and overthrows the whole order of
creation. The whole arrangement,
not only of the moral, but of the
physical world, is perverted. Every
thing goes wrong. The power made
over to this universe has escaped
from the divine control and goes con-
trary to the divine intent. The nat
ural order, therefore, is now disorder
and ruin. Hence the supernatural is
regarded as something not only
above, but opposed to, the natural or
der. 1t is corrective. 1t is some
thing introduced into the world to
reverse the natural order. The nat
ural order is wrong. The supernat-
ural is something introduced into
this order to correct it, to right the
wrong. In fine, it is God coming into
the world to restore it to it's original
condition, to remedy the evil caused
by Adams sin. The agent of this re-
demption is Christianity. In the
preparation for Christ and in his COM
ing and work is found the supernat-
ural effort ON the part of God to
remedy the evil caused by mans SIM
a sin that turned aside and corrupted
the whole course of nature. Hence
the supernatural is the unnatural. 1t
is that which interferes with, opposes
and seeks to reverse the natural or
der. This is the old view of the SUI
pernatural.
Against this view anti-supernatur-
alism is a protest. 1t affirms that the
natural order is not disorder; that
nature is not all wrong; that there is
no subversion of the original pur-
pose of things; that nature is gov.
erned by law and is ordered to benefi-
cent ends,-hence the notion that
there is or can be any interference
with this order can have no place in
a rational philosophy. Its protest is
strong and vigorous and unanswer-
able against the supernatural as the

r. o., THERE is no feature
" OH0 of higher education in
n''' the Mississippi valley
which is more striking than the rapid
development Of State universities found
ed and supported by State authority.
With the exception of few great pri
yate foundations the main work of high.
er education will undoubtedly be done
by these State institutions. There is
every reason why these State UNIVERSE
ties should cooperate in scientific re-
search, each undertaking the line of
work for which it is best fitted by it's
peculiar physical and social conditions.
With the purpose of developing this
spirit of cooperation, a conference of
eleven State university presidents was
recently held at the University of Wis
consin. 1t is expected that there will
be similar conferences from time to time
to consider matters Of common interest.
President Draper OF Illinois, has taken
an active partin this movement, of which
he gives brief account in recent num-
Der of the Educational Review. The
next meeting will probably be held at
the University OF. Illinois, just now under
a financial cloud by reason of Treasurer
Spalding's misdeede, but destined to be.
come one of the great institutions of the
land.

Attractive ALTERATION.

''Some ministers seem to think that al
liberation will bring people to church.
Thus, in one Sunday service notice, "a
bright, brief, breezy, brilliant, brotherly
service is advertised. " Whereupon the
New York Observer comments: ''That will
do for the men, Next we should have
short, sweet, suggestive, sunshiny, sister
ly services for the women, or, as DR. Par
ker, of London, once suggested, something
of a meek, mild and motherly order"

Statistics of Illegitimacy.
(Zlon's Herald.)

If the prevalence of illegitimacy is to be
taken as a test of the morals of people,
Ireland of all European countries must be
reckoned the most virtuous, for the ratio
of births outside wedlock in the Emerald
Isle is only twenty-six in every thousand.
Russia and Holland stand close to Ireland
in this list; then comes England with a
rate of forty eight, and Scotland, with a
rate as eighty-two; in Italy and France
the rates are respectively seventy-fo
and eighty-two per thousand. The coun-
tries that are ignobly distinguished as
having the highest rates of illegitimacy
are Sweden, Saxony, Bavaria and Aus
tria in the latter the rate is one hundred
and forty per thousand; in other words,
the foundlings in Austria are over five to
one of those in ireland. Coming to this
country and TO our own State, we certain
liz have reason TO blush, for, according to
the Quarterly Journal of Economies, Sat
present about one child in fifty is illegiti-
mate
