A PHILOSOPHERS ERROR.

Count ToIstoi has again issued a state
ment to the world, which Is meant to be
an cpitome Of what the Russian philo-
sopher conceiyes to be true religion.
He lays down five commandments
which, in his opinion, every human be-
ing must obey, in order to obtain life
and happiness These are:
"The first commandment. To offend
no one and by no act excite evil in
others. for out OF evil comes evil,
THE second commandment; TO be in
all things chaste, and not 10
quit the wife whom we have
taken; for the abandonment of
wives and the changing Of
them is the cause OF all loose living in
the world
The fifth commandment. Never to
take an oath, because We can promise
nothing, for man Is altogether in the
hands of the Father and oaths are I'M
posed for wicked ends.
"The fourth commandment Not To
resist evil, TO bear with offenses, and
20 do yet more than what Is demanded
Of us. neither to Judge nor go to law,
for every man Is himself full of faults
and cannot teach. by seeking revenge
men only reach others to do the same.
"The nth commandment 10 make
no distiBStion between our own Coun-
trymen aud foreigners for all men arc
the children OF one Father
We cannot but compare this poor
synopsis Of human duties to that laid
down by the Scriptures; Thou shalt
love the Lord, thy God. with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul and with
all thy strength, and with all thy
mind and thy neighbor as myself"
These latter are positive command
ments. which comprise all divine law
and even all human law as far az this
conforms 60 the divine pattern. How
far superior Is the philosophy Of tina
Maste, to that Of the great Russian
This Ia still more apparent IN the
further teachings OF Leo Tolstoi, He
says that the I'VE commandments he
has framed are TO be observed, in or
der to obtain happiness, and that, there
fore, prayer Is not necessary Tho
dlNcI, ne says hluNn al VIC NceG,
So We have nothing to ask Him for,
but only strive 10 do His will The
will Of the Father is this, we should
haze no malice in our hearts 10 any.
one"
This doctrine Of no-prayer Is
contrary 10 the teachings as
well as the practice OF the
Master, and It il marvellous that the
grea. Russian, who claims to be n
disciple, does not perceive that fact.
Jesus taught His disciples to pray,
and promised them that their prayers
Of faith would he answered He
taught this by example as well as by
precept In the Gospels we ind many
records OF His hours Of prayer" He
prayed at the beginning OF busy day,
