can not suppose that Heaven, out of pure
charity, will recall such beings back into
good society without reformation on their
part-not if Heaven feels kindly towards
good society.
In our times there appears to be great
rush of people toward hades with hopes, both
larger and smaller of being able to escape,
even stowaways on ships of state and of
commerce, as we'll as ships of pleasure; but
the chances of return are too uncertain for
the really prudent to risk step in that
direction.
But the truly larger hope is, that all the
world of living men may ultimately be pur-
suaded to embrace the right for its own sake
and to live for good in the present life; and
the poets who sing and the preachers who
persuade men with this consumaton in view
are most deserving of the worlds gratitude.

of Christianity we have here or not, certain it
is that the motives of those who take sttings
in churches in order to get on in the world, is
as deserving of severe condemnation as the
Partially Of denoun :iationaists for those
of their own creeds.
But, to return to DR.. Hale, his idea is that
"we must speak as children of God to chill
dren Of God. We must not only discredit
doctrine, hut also discredit ecclesiastical ma.
chinery."
In the spirit of the candor he suggests we
would say, we must discredit human dogmas,
and contend earnestly for the faith once for
all delivered to the saints" we must discredit
the " ecclesiastical machinery" which has
been invented since New Testament times,
but hold or to the appointments and ordi.
nances authorized by Christ himself.

Ignorance and Criticism.

There is great deal of ignorance, mex.
cusable, if not wlful, in the numberless
criticisms of the Bible, and in the endless
comments on the teachings of Christ and
his Apostles, appearing in the periodicals Of
the day. Here is sample. prominent
Unitarian preacher, Rev. E. M. Wheelock,
writing on 60 the seat of authority in religion"
after saying that all religious wars come
about through an insistance upon some
intellectual belief supposed to have been
revealed by divine authority, remarks that
Jesus "never commanded any one to believe
any formal proposition about himself"
Jesus said to Nicodemus, Uohn 3:l6-l9),
- For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that 7ohosoevsy
believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life; for God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be saved.
He that beeveth on him Jesus Christ is not
condemned; but he that believeM not is con-
demued already, because he hath not be-
Heved in the name of the only begotten Son
of God. And this is condemnation, that
light is come into the world and men loved
darkness rather than light, because their
deeds are evil"
Again in John AL, he said "Ye believe in
God believe also in me-" u
1t would be easy to multiply proofs that
Jesus required all his followers to believe that
he is the Christ, the Son of God. 1t is
further evident from the foregoing quotations
that, according to the ideas of Jesus. intellec.
tual enlightenment and right thinking are
indispensable preparations for right feeling
and right doing. Men must come to the
light. They must believe the truth about
himself, that he is the Christ, the Son of
God. He condemn them for failure in this
intellectual preparation.
But these facts are cited as an illustration
of the b Id, unwarranted statements which
so-caled critics are making everywhere and
all the time, and which too many people are
ready to accept without question to the un-
dermning of their faith in and their respect
for the religion OF Christ,

Churchianity us. Christianity.

Edward Everett Hale at the recent Uni
tartan Conference in Washington, d. c., in
the course of remarks on the lack of freedom
in the Presbyterian Church, said:
81 asked eminent Presbyterian clergyman
question. l said to him: Now suppose young gra-
duate of Harvard College and of the Harvard Medical
School should 60 with letters of introduction to Wilkes
barre Pa, hang out his single and not take sitting in
the Presbyterian church there wouldn't he starve within
less than two yearsF And my friend said: Well, DR..
Hale, I'm sorry you mentioned Wkesbarre, but
think you right. He would starve to certainty.
Now, that's only one instance which is true throughout
the country"
Possibly the denominations, taking mar
row view of the Apostles words, Do good
unto all men, especially to those who are of
the household of faith, justify what DR.. Hale
complains of. But, fairly interpreted, the
teachings of Christ and his Apostles furnish
sort intimated "rhose who are of the
household of faith" Uhat is, faith in Christ,
not faith in human dogmas), are to be found
in all the denominations, and the tendency is
now strongly toward general recognition of
this fact. Yet, no doubt, there is ground for
the complaint in me places.
A story has gone the rounds in Honolulu
that business man who came to this city
and began business without taking sttings in
any church, surprised his friends one fine
Sunday by taking membership with the lead.

runs, friend reminded him of his assertion
that he did not intend to connect himself
with any church in Honolulu, to which he
replied: 81 found that l could not get on
here without being member of that Id

Whether the story is true or not, it must
have originated with sentiment which had
its rise in state of facts. And whether the
facts in the case are credtable to the phase

1.-THE Larger Hope"

1.-The Larger Hope
The Rev VIM. Klncaid read thoughtful
paper of literary III, lit before the Ministerial
Union las, Monday morning. on Tennyson's
idea If Christianity, in which the fact was
brought out that the poet was cne of those
who indulge 1.-THE larger hore of the final
redemption and happiness Of all our race.
We would not presume to say that the
poet did not hold the views which the learned
gentleman attributes to him but we hardly
think his differences are always justified by
the citations he gives. For instance, this:
You recall that little poem where the king to
the nunnery in which the guilty Queen has found an
asylum and he speaks to her Of her SIM but he does
not leave her helpless and hopeless, He says:
"Perchance, and so thou purify thy soul,
And so thou lean on our fair Father Christ"
We speak often ofChrist broher,a Friend, Savior
pity. For in Isaish read, "This is the name by
which he shall be called, Wonderful Counsellor, the
Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the far seeing
eye of poet has marked the word and its fitness
of application, and he puts it into the mouth Of the
king:
"And so thou lean on our fair Father Christ,
Hereafter in that world where all pure,
We too may meet before high God" etc.
How could we bear the grinding oppression for that
burden called sin, unless we had some ray of hope,
that the time will when by the power of the mercy
of living, loving God, God as Tennyson says who
lives and loves and moves, there shall be grand
event, splendid consumation, where sins burden shall
be rolled away forever and hid absolutely in the abso
lutte mercy of an everything God. You cannot read
this poetry without noticing with what tenderness he
always brings help to the helpless, light to the dark
ened, redemption to the sinner.
We have given the lines and the remarks of
Mr.. Kincaid in full, to do him justice. 1t
is enough to say that the apparent meaning
of the lines is, that the guilty Queen should,
by leaning on the "fair Father Christ" during
this life, prepare to meet the King, her hus-
band, in the next world.
Whatever may be the truth as to this,
the larger charity of those who indulge
"the larger hope" is creditable to their
hearts; but we, in the exercise of the like
charity, must allow that they forget to consult
their better judgment. The deeper one sinks
into the sums of White Chapel, for in
stance, the less are his chances of restoration
from them, partly because restraining influ-
ences and redemptive forces grow less and
less as he goes deeper and deeper, and partly
because his own sensibilities are blunted and
he becomes less and less disposed to avail
himself Of any help in reach. If we think of
a community of beings who have been ban.
ished from good society solely for despising
its excelencies, whose only sentiment in com
mon is this disregard of all that makes good
society good, what ground of hope shall we
find in this community that its members will
work reformation among themselves? We
