Lot us recur, lastly. to the chapter on pagan
ism and Christianity, and inquire why 1t was
impossible that the religions of Greece and
Rome should do for civilization what Christiani-
ty has done. and why 1t was absolutely needful
that Greek and Roman society should be i'm
preRnated from without. This question Mr..
Crozier undertakes to answer by asking what
was the soul or essential spirit OF paganism on
the one hand and Of Christianity on the otherf
The essential spirit OF Christianity we know;
for, alike In Its creed. its institutions, its pre-
cepts and laws, in the nature of God and of
Christ and in the relationship existing be; ween
God and Christ, between God and man, between
Christ and man. the spirit which pcrvades 1t is
that which may be best expressed in the rela.
tionship Of Father and Son. of parent and chill.
dren. From this, its spirit and life, perennially
proceeds a current which flows forever In the
direction of the good. the benciCont. and the
merciful; an impulse which tends gradually,
as the tyranny of material and social con-
ditions is, step by step, relaxed and dis
solved, to draw mankind together into one
great family. with God for its luther. This
spirit II Is which has covered tho world with in
stitutions Of charity and mercy, which, in NOR.
ais. broke at once and forever the bondage to
the letter OF tho law, and, when The time WAS
ripe, opened up TO mankind political liberty, and,
TO the slave, emancipation and life. Such is the
soul of Christianity, a. distinguished from the
bodily accreLions which have become imbedde /
IN It's structure, the Mosaic account OF Creation
and the like, which have boen the fruitful
source of all It's woes. Now, Ia II possible To
digest tho soul ot paganism into AN equally

lfeI Mr.. Crozier undertakes TO show that
the genius and essential spirit of paganism, the
moral relationship or soul that runs alike
through its religion, its polity. its Jurisprudence,
and its social life, may he as accurately repre-.

sought to prove in his Civilization and Prog
ress, that the progress OF civilization consists
in. the gradual establishment among men of

higher ideals of life, 1t follows that the mat
ter OF major concern to us Is not so much

how it comes to pass that the lo,rer form
develops into the higher. tho vital Principle"

Of Greek philosophy. the morality Of paganism
into tho morality Of Christianity. and so on.
Now, 1t is true that Mr.. Spencer has treated
scientifically one section Of intellectual develop
ment-namely, the development from dreams,
&C.. of mans primitive religious conceptions OF
God, the soul and the future life, ns seen in those
savage races which are the existing repre-
sentat;vcs OF the thought and feeling OF pre-
historic man. He has stopped. however. just ut
tho point where the development becomes
OF interest TO us, namely-whcn those primitive
conceptions are taken mp into the thought of
civilized nations, OF TIindoos, Greeks, and Euro
pcans. and woven by them into religions and
PHILOSOPHERS. Into this inquiry Mr.. Spencer no
where entors, and so he has left the field of in
vcstigation OF the evolution OF these higher and
more interesting stages OF intellectual develop
mcnt still open.

have begun the construction of a ware
house at the depot to accommodate
that firms business in Princeton. The
new building will be 3Ox60, one story
and basement, and will be used prin-
cipally for storing potatoes, although
it is likely that early in the season
some grain will be purchased. The
basement will be constructed with a
view to keeping potatoes there during
the severe winter weather and will
enable the firm to handle larger
quantities than they have hitherto
been able to do. The basement is to
be OF brick while the superstructure
will be of wood. Princeton's excellent
potatoes have thus brought us another
improvement.
