.GRoPINGs AFTER GOD"
Reverend C. L. Mel Begins His
Lenten Lectures.

Rev G.. L. Mel lectured at st. Paups
Church last night, the address beng
the first Friday night lecture OF
course planned to continue every Fiji
day night during Lent. The projected
discourses cover a general field Whlcn
the speaker calls ''Great Lights in the
Religious Firmament,' and this title is
subdivided into Darkness, Dawn"
Day" Further subdivisions of the
course will be 1.-THE Star of China
1.-The Star of India, 1.-THE Star of
Iran" "The Star of Israel" and "The
Sun, the Light of the World"
The theme last night was entitled
"Gropings After God,'' and the speaker
treated the subject from an ethical and
historical point of view, rather than
from an orthodox Or ecclesiastical basis.
The speaker held that there was "a
feeling after God. even in the infancy
of the race" and that early man was
decidedly idolatrous in his habits and
mental attitude The old race made it's
gods, peopled land, sea and sky with
them, and did not change its ideals
until civilization had made marked adj
vances The old gods were bestial an
imals, the goddesses unspeakably bad.
The orator held that the Hebrew
scholars gave the race the earliest and
truest ideals of God; that the Hebrews
were a race with marvellous religious
insight, proclaiming, amid all sorts CT
barbaric confusions, that Jehovah was
the real and only true God. The speaker
held that man was sent forth to eX-
plore the physical mental and moral
world, to find out everything possible
in the universe-God, experiences that
teach him right from wrong, and all
the wonders of the universe.
Primitive man had no maps or charts,
and he was compelled to explore every
thing from the beginning. but history
led him to the great fact of a living
God, the highest conception of the ages.
