Richard Olney Discusses the Situa.
ton of the United States.
The warlike unprecedented condition
in which the United States is now involved
adds great force andinterest in the mind OF
every thinking sman to the weighty and we'll
considered words in which Hon. Richard
Olney. late secretary of state, discusses in
the May Atlantic eur unfortunate, as he
thinks, Observation-Disclosures. By this term
he means thatsthe United States one Of the
great powers Of the earth, purposely keeps
aloof from the European family circle of ma
lions, avoids the responsibilities Of its place.
and loses its advantages; at the same time.
it commits the sharp practice of claiming
to share commercial or political benefits that
have been obtained by the other powers, and
for which it refuses to pay its portion Of
the price.
This has been brought about, Mr.. oIney
believes, by a-too rigid adherence to the
sentiments and fn5unctions Of Washington's
farewell address; which, while judicious at
the time of utterance, has outlived its USE
fulness under the changed circumstances Of
the present time, to- which it no longer ap-
plies And the greater the prestige of the
maxim, the greater the injury wrought
Mr.. Olney finds this policy to be decidedly
not creditable part for a great nation to
play in the affairs Of the world; and he be-
ieves most emphatically that the time has
come to ''shake off the spell of the Wash
ington legend, and cease to act the part of
an internationl recuse," and to cooperate
with other nations in the great affairs Of
the world; first and preferably in conjunc-
ton with that worldwide empire whose
naves rule the seas and which on our north
ern frontier controls a dominion itself i'm
perial in extent and capabilities. In that
same community and in that cooperation in
good works which would result from it.

IF the truth of the resurrection of

The distinguished theologain who
thus weeds out the real gold from the
doubtful in Bible history Is professor
William North Rice, Of Wesleyan uni
versity. His carefully formed con-
illusions, as expressed below, made a
most valuable contribution to the theo-
logical literature Of the age. Prof.
Rice says:
Natural law Is the fetish of our times
and many who know nothing of what
it means regard it with great venera-
ton. Natural law is the expression
Of an order Of co-eXistence or sequence
Of phenomena as observed in our eX-
perience. Those relations are first per-
ceived which are the most obvious.
More come to be known later through
artificial augmentation, mathemati-
cal analysis and other processes of
study. The trained mind acquires
great power in seeing into these things.
1t is conceivable that mind with no
other facilities In kind than ours, but
greater in degree, could predict the whole
subsequent course of nature from the
knowledge Of the position of the atoms
in the primal nebula, and could even
trace the path of every atom. In all
these scientific Investigations there
is one tremendous postulate- that
nature is not a chaos, but a cosmos,
and that laws deduced from past ex-
perience can be assumed to extend be-
yond our experience.
1.-The parts of nature are not to be
conceived as a jagged line of caprice,
but as curve in which every point is
related by some law to every other
point. But we are always liable to err
ror in inferring the law from experience
necessarily partial, and the liability to
error becomes greater the further our
differences are carried beyond the limits
Of experience. Astronomers can calcu-
late the positions of the planets
for few years beforehand,
but they could hardly venture to con-
struct an ephemeris for the year of our
Lord 1000O0000. We must always re-
member that what we suppose we have
proved to be law of nature mas be
only an approximate statement of a
fraction of a greater and more complex
law. miracle need not be considered
as violation of the law of nature. 1t
would simply show that the law of
nature is more complex than we had
conceived-not that there are eXcep
lions to the law but only that our state
ment of the law is inaccurate and in
complete. When we think we under
stand q subject most perfectly there

1t will be remembered that Ireland
put in a claim for the Dargai piper.
that Germany wanted him. On the
first point F'indlater was tolerant
anough-capital fellows the Irishmen!
but on the latter, words failed him.
Well, he is just as Scotch as he could
be, and his accent might never have
been out of his own country. Go to
lny Northern strath, and you will find
Jour Findlaters at the plough-tail or
swinging the scythe. How did he
come to be a soldier? He hardly knew,
but perhaps in very much the same
way as young Scotchmen pick up the
queens shilling. He had been in farm
service, and was eighteen when he
went and proffered himself to the
Gordons. After seven years of the
regiment. he signed on for a second
period of five years. OF this contract
he has still two years to fulfill. but his
soldering is in the hands Of a doctor.
He hopes, for himself, that his foot
may get as sound as ever it was, but
must wait patiently to see.
Naturally Findlater looks forward to
being able to go North on a visit to
his ain folks" He has been in India
for a long while, and he would much
relish a glimpse Of the old faces and
the familiar burnsides. The Scotch
man is passionate wandeyer. but it's
a long journey with him that does not
turn back to where it began. A small
scare smote Findlater when I suggest
ed that his kinsmen would be making
terrible hero of him. Ma, ma" he
ms sted, they ken better than dee any
thing so stupid. Bit fan the regiment
comes back-it's comm to Edinboro-I
hope it'll get a CHEEKY reception. It's

regiment, aye an fine officers. Col
Matthias an the ither officers often

more than the wounded foot.

There were two handsomely dressed young
women IN the car seat and an elderly man.
The elderly man sat next to the aisle. The
two young women sat together, so that a
suggestion of vacant place was left next
to the window.
The young man with a sensitive face en-
tered the car at Amesbury avenue. He evil

eye roamed up and Down the row OF seats.
There's a place, Sir, said the conductor.
as he pointed to the vacancy next to the win
dow.
The young man looked at the seat and
hesitated. The young women did not move.
Then, in the usual fashion, with his back to
the stters and brushing the big hats in front
of him, he crowded past the old gentleman
and in front of, the young women. Just as
he reached the window he felt a hurried
movement behind him.
The young women had suddenly pushed up
toward the window ann the vacant place was

thereupon pushed back toward the old gen.

too quick for him.
Then the badgered youth did a desperate

BIBLICAL WONDERS

Scientific Knowledge, but Judg-

ing All Miracles, Because of the
ImprObability of Some.

Scoffers who refuse to regard seriously
the miracles which are among the funda-
mental beliefs of the Christian church,
have justified their scepticism by point
ing to Biblical stories Of wonders that
are utterly at variance with established
scientific facts. 1t has been an easy
way of settling the matter to their own
satisfaction. Tearing down is less labor
ious than building up. Here, however,
Is learned and sensible professor Of an
American university who has made the
whole question of miracles a matter Of
careful study and who. sitting out the

other miracles of Bible times, be placed
among the wonders of divine revelation
of which the truth is beyond dispute.
