WEATHER PROPHETS.

Blow out a candle, and if the wick
continues long to smolder look for bad
weather. If it goes out quickly, the
weather will be fair.
The twelve days after Christmas in
dicate the weather for the following
year. Each day in order shows the
weather for one month
When it begins to snow, notice the
size of the flakes. If they are very
fine, the storm will be long one; If
large, the storm will soon be over.
If the chickens come out while it
rains, it is sign that the storm is to
be long one. If they stand around
under the shed, the storm will be short.
When the cattle lie down as soon as
they are turned out to pasture in the
morning, it is because they feel rheu-
matte WEAKNESS in their bones, and you
can look for rain soon.
When night passes and no dew
falls, it is sign 1t Is going to rain.
This omen loses much of it's mystery
when one remembers that dew has not
fallen because the night was clouded.
When you see the sun drawing water
at night, know that it will rain on the
morrow. The sun is said to be draw
ing water when its rays can be seen
shining through riffs in distant clouds.

THE EVOLUTION OF THEOLOGY

At recent meeting of Methodist
ministers in New York Rev. DIR. Ly-
man Abbott, first successor of Henry
Ward Beecher as pastor of Plymouth
church, distinguished both as preach
er and writer, somewhat startled his
hearers by propounding to them some
OF those religious theories that he has
elaborated in his book, 1.-THE Theology
of An Evolution" The Bible, accord
ing to DR.. Abbott, lie merely a record of
human religious experiences. 81 have
respect for the old theology" he said,
"and today / cannot doubt that the
change from the old to the new method
of thinking in religion is important,
radical and revolutionary. Those who
wrote the Bible were human, imperfect
men. They stumbled as we stumble"
Such an utterahce from such a source
is significant evidence Of the evolution
of theology which has of late years
been making such rapid progress in
this country as to remind one of the
expressive language of liberal poet Of
years ago who wrote that
"Orthodoxy's getting shaky,
HELPS fast going up the spout"
There are many places as yet, how
ever, where this spirit of liberalism has
not entered. Only a few weeks ago a
visiting Presbyterian minister here
stated from the pulpit that "If the
Bible is not inspired it is of no more
value than any other book" Possibly
we have not quoted his language YER
batim, but there can be no question as
to his meaning, which is i'm marked
contrast with the expressed belief of
Rev. DR.. Abbott, editor of the Outlook
and one of the most advanced leaders
OF religious thought. Comparatively
few religious teachers in this day and
generation cling to the old orthodox
idea OF the infallibility and direct in
SEPARATION of the scriptures, but on the
other hand there are few who do not
hold the books Of both the old and the
new testament in far greater esteem
than the works of ordinary, or even
extraordinary, lay writers. No other
book or collection of books since the
dawn of history has had such mighty
influence as the Bible in the uplifting
of the human race. 1t seems a bit
strange that in this era of liberal sen.
tlment and enlightened thought apy
preacher of the gospel should teach
that if the scriptures are not of divine
Origin they ere no better than other
writings. There are degree. of excel
lence in all human works and few are
without imperfections. The spirit of
intolerance is out of place in any mod
ern pulpit. The strict constructionist

existence of a place of eternal torment
