In the line Of learned and dispassionats
research France has produced Renan. whose
Life of Jesus especially made a vast i'm
preston on Europe and still probably
exercises an influence of the speculation and
of the holiness of the speculation and
the intense interest Of the subject. but Of
tho extreme beauty Of the style. The work.
however, Is one in which imagination acts
strongly on history. 1t lacks critical basis.
not that the author falls fully to set out
his authorities. but that in his narrative
he fails to discriminate among them. Ono
incident is treated as real another as myth
ical, to suit the requirements of poetical
conception without reason assigned for the
distinction.
The Roman Catholic Church has not suf-
fered from criticism, historical. literary. or
scientific, to the same extent as the Protes-
tant churches, at least Internally because
1t depends not SO much on intellectual con-
viction as on ecclesiastical organization.
and rests comparatively little on the au-
thority of the Bible. Its priesthood has not
teen affected like the clergy of the Church
of England or the ministries OF the Protes-
tant churches, But 1t has everywhere been
losing the educated classes. or retained a
part of them not so much from conviction,
still less from speculative conviction, as be-
cause its alliance is c%ongenial to political
and social reaction. It's inability to come to
terms with science has been shown by the
recent case of st. George Mivart. and,

How Inspiration
Has Been Defended.

To meet the inroads Of science or Bib
lfcal cosmogony and cosmography recourse
was mad to allegorical Interpretation. But
allegorica1 Interpretation cannot be forced
upon a writer when it manifestly is not in
his mind The writer or writer's Of Genesis
u~ndentably Intended his or their statements
to be taken literally. They meant that the
| earth was really created In six days. as the
| Fourth Commandment assumes; that the
formation of Eve out OF q rib Of Adam, the
temptation Of Eve by the serpent and all
the actions Of the anthropomorphic God,
who walks in the garden at evening and
makes garments for Adam and Eve. were
actual events. To foist upon them ale
gorical Interpretation is to falsify their
testimony. Besides, instead Of having the
facts Of the creation revealed to US we are
left to interpret allegory at a venture.
Recourse has been had to the theory Of
partial inspiration. admitting historical and
even moral errors in Scripture. but setting
them down to the human element in the
composition. which has to be recognized
without prejudice to that element which
remains divine. Such q collaboration of
infallIbility with fallibility, both historical
and moral. is a desperate hypothesis. es-
pecially when the object was to reveal vital
truths to man.
Another lines Of defense has been the
hypothesis. which may be called quasi
Inspiration. reducing the inspiration Of the
Scriptures to a supreme degree of the Same
sort of Inspiration which we recognize in a
great poet or a great author Of any kind.
This is mere playing with the term 'fnspi-
ration" and little better than an equlvoque.
It may be, and we hope 1t is. true thai the
author of our being manifests himself in
whatever is morally grand and elevating.
But this belief Is very different from a belief
In the special inspiration Of the Bible.
Evolution. again. which at first was re-
PEELED as atheistic. Is now adopted by some
as the key to revelation and the solution
of all difficulties connected with 1t. This
would make God in his revelation Of him.
self to man. without apparent motive, sub
feet himself to a physical or Quasi-phy-
steal law, the knowledge Of which has been
withheld from man till the present time.
1t is needless to say how manifestly all
these theories have their origin in contro-
versial necessity. how totally alien they are
to the view taken hitherto by all Christian
churches of the scriptures. and how. un-
likely it is that God, in revealing himself
to man for the purpose of human salvation, !
should have chosen a method such as would
entail inevitable misconstruction for many
and postpone the true interpre-
tation of his character and dealings to an
age Of human criticism and science.

AS the natural consequence Of the loos-

has been a general tendency In Europe

Herbert spencer's Exclusion
OF the Supernatural.

The all-embracing philosophy Of Mr..
Herbert Spencer excludes not only the
supernatural but Theism in its ordinary
form. Yet Theism in a subtle form may
be thought to Turk in it by continually
seeking" he says. ito kno and being con-
tinually thrown back with a deepened con-
viction of the impossibility Of knowing
We may keep alive the consciousness that
1t is alike our highest wisdom and our
highest duty to regard that through which
all things exist as the Unknowable." In
this and subsequent passages he evidently
looks upon the U~nknowable as an object
of reverence. otherwise 1t would hardly be
our highest duty to regard 1t as that
through which all things exist, or to main
tain any particular attitude toward 1t. But
Unknowablenesa in itself excites no rever-
ence; We do not venerate an insoluble prob
lem or a fact which Is irrecoverably lost;
and the same may be said Of anything
material. even though It be supposed in
finite and eternal. Nothing excites our
reverence but a person, or at least a moral
being. There fingers in Mr.. Spencer's mind
the belief that the present limit of our
knowledge is the veil Of the Deity.

Ethics of Christianity
Are Powerful.

The ethics Of Christianity have hitherto
comparatively escaped systematic critI-
cism and are still generally and officially
professed. An appeal to the principles of
the Sermon on the Mount continues to COM
mand formal respect. But Christ's view
of this world as evil and his renunciation
Of it for the kingdom of God have been
practically laid aside by all but specially
religious men. Christ's moral code was,
in its direct bearing. only personal or social,
politics and commerce not having come
within the view OF the teacher of GaIilee.
In regard to public and international con-
Germs, the abjuration Of his principles Is
most striking. In that sphere Christian
meekness. mercy and self-sacrifce are
being openly superseded by maxims drawn
from the Darwinian struggle for existence
and by avowals Of the right Of the strong.
Even the protested ministers Of Christ have
been panderinga to imperialism and the lust
of war. In truth. by a strange turn Of
events, Christian ethics. In questions be-

controversy was himself uncontroversial.
Gibbons's great work Is instinct with
the tendency of men Of the world in the
generation Of Voltaire, Horace Walpole,
and Hume. Its spirit IS identical with
that of Hume's philosophy and history.
1t is Of first-rate Importance in the religious
controversy as having opened the trenches
historically against revealed religion in
undertaking to account for the success of
Christianity by natural causes. But It's
