Last Sunday DR.. Lyman Abbott
gave in a sermon what might be called
his confessions as to his change Of be-
lief in the last thirty or forty years. 4
change which he says has been general
in the religious conception of Christian
people The substance of the change
which he represents is that he used
to think of God as a being apart from
nature-the creator of it's forces; exter-
nal to and transcendently above it. Now
he does not think of God as the engineer
of the world, nor that the world has
any forces. There is but one force
God: and there are no causes. for there
is but one great underlying cause--God.
This. We suppose says the New York
Independent" .is what is called the
immanence of God in nature. This is
a philosophical view which is very much
exploited at the present time. SO far
as it is another form of the old doctrine
of the divine omnipotence. there is
nothing new in it: but so far as it ,le
nies the existence of forces in nature
and makes every act in nature a per-
sonal voltion Of God it is. if not 1ew.
at least without evidence of it's truth.
Still it is a mere philosophical. and not
theological Importance. unless it 5oas

immanent in the sun emits by his own
