The Rev. Frencis L. Patton, recently inducted into the cliair of Didactic and Polemic Theology in the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of the Nortwesth, and who as a Professor is rapidly ising in popularity, hns just issued in pumphlet form his 2ddress delivered at the opening of the eession. The following extract shows how tho learnod Professor treats the now all pervasive question of * Seience aud Religion.” Those in- Zorested in the * Tyndall test of prayer,” Dar- ~winizn theorios, etc., will vead it with pleasure, and find it commendable both in tone and its masterly deductions, 1t would appear then, that the dispute between Seeu- Jar Scienceand Christian Theology cannot be settled by a policy of non-intrusion, There wzs strife betwoen 1he Lerdemen of Abram and thoae of Lot, Lecause they £tood on common ground,snd the coulict between Scripture and Scienco comes of their dealing with the eame queetions, The dispute, unliko the patriarchal oz, cznrot be ecitled by o redistribution of territory, for phyeical science, 35 we have ecn, with 3 greediness exceeding Lot's, claims undisputed ‘poesession of tho entire Tealm of Enowiedgu, As lituo can wo accord with the sentiment that theologiaus have no ight to sdentific opinfous. To do €0 would Lo 1o allow that e theist repeats Lis creed znd eays his prayers under ecientific sanction, 1f & man knows that it is day, he need pay litle sifention fo avers hat it is night; and Jnows, on God's authorny, thet Adam was made in the likeness of God, ho may answer Darwin with an indignant negative. A railway collision has been facetionsly described as the attempt of two trains to pacs each other on the fame track, Sclenco and The- ology, dealiug with tho same questions, have como 203 siand etill. We shall continueto claim for Theol- ogy the right of way, until the arguments for the in- epiration of {he Scriptures have been candidly exam- ined and fairly set aside. Desides, if special scientific culture is {he prerequisite of a questioniug reception of o scieatific Lypotbesis, it is useless for acientific men to writs books ' for the purpose of convinciog the y _ reader. et tho Ecientific | dogma go forth with the elaim of infallibility at once, and let the furnace of ridiculo ‘e Lieated for the theologiczl Daniel who refuses to as- sent, No, indeed. Logic is universal science, and men who understand i(s laws can tdil whether the Tacts which are adduced, in any case, will support the inferences based upon them. ~Exceptional culture Ecience is no moro necessary, however desirable, s the condition of au opinion on ilie value of & scientific hy- pothesis than it is neceseary that o msn should be o 2hief in order that he may be an futelligent juryman in 2 lsrceny case, Chrislian theology has a Fight to bo Tecognized as an element in bhuman knmowledge. And when men refuse fto recognize God 2s Ruler and Revealed, they lack the true in- ductive epirit. It is Dot scientific to adopt a heory covering class of unexamined facts which the theory will not explain, A theory which moets & protest in & persistent personality, which has 1o ex- Plantion of moral convictions, no Apswer to the claims ‘Beripture, no mode of accounting for the origin and growt ot the Christian Clurch, is surely not satis- factory theory of the Univeree. = The theist, however, Tinds himself in the poezcasion of a consistent faith! Ho zccepts his personality as a fact, the laws of belief 28 veracious, and moral intuitions as obligatory. Be- lief in God 18 neceseary result of the constitution of his Dature. Develation does not surprise Lim, and because attested, is accepted. ' Its pages throw light on the genesis of man, the orfgin of marrisge, the per- manence of species, and they have scientific value. 1t 15 surely more likely that the thelstic hypothesis is irue, and that & theory which i8 at war with the universal beliefs of wmankind, snd siands only by wholcasle discredit of tes- timony, is false. 1f probability were conceded -to e the guide of Life, and if, a5 the advocates of an m- probable bypothesis, the men alluded to did not assume POl he attitude which jaatifies skepticism on the ground of the barest. possibility, theism would bo the unani- zoous faith of tho world. May we uot hope, however, that the time js coming, and is not so far away, when 1he student of physical science will ece that thelem fur- ‘pithes the material for the widezt and the safest induc- tion, and that he is the true philosopher who rezds the upiverse a8 the written thought of God, aud, under the wo categories of God in nature and God' in history ubordinates all knowledge.” WEEK OF PRAYER. Religious exercises in connection with the ‘week of prayer have been generally observed in 2he city and tnroughout the country. On the ‘West Bide the Presbyterian churches united, and held interesting meetinga in the Third Church on Tuesday evening, in the Eighth on Thuredsy, and in the Reform Church on last evening. The exercises wero lead by the varions pustors, the laymen particpating. The at- tendance bas been large, and the interest a growing ono. The gervices in the Third Church were unusually solemn and impressive. The re- spective churches held local services during the evening when not convened together. The Jefterson Park Church held its own prayer meet- in;i‘l:“% night. i '] pngrefilfionll churches, each held ita own service. The attendance at the First, Union Park, msvmoum, Fow Eni;hnd, and Leavitt Btreet Churches, bas been large. Several con- versions are roported 1n the Oak Park Church, which united with the'Methodist Church of that place. The Tabernaclo Church, West Side, in charge of Rev. E. T. Williams, fias been onjoy- ing s eeason of revival. This Bociety contains 50U members, and has a Sunday-school of 1,000 echolars, and represents thirteen nationalities. The Lincoln Park Church received 13 ad tional membérs last Sundsy. The pas- tor, Rev. C. E. Bumner, was _ g8- sisfed by tho Rov. Dr. bavage. This church was: burned during the fire, but itis rapidly recovering. A notable incident of this chureh in conuection with the fire was the saving of the cabinet organ, pulpit, sud the hymn books, all of which are now in use, which was done by tho porter, who, on seeing the destruc- tion of the edifice inovitable, went and buried them. He is gaid to have remarked that ho would have buried the church building if he had bad time. 1 The Michigan Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Thomas, pastor, bas been holding interest- ing meetinga. SWEDENBORGIANISM. Tho New Jerusalem denomination is repro- sented in Chicago by one church society and wo congregations, the pastor of which is the Rev. Dr. J. B. Hibbard. Their legal organiza- #ion was effected in 1843, at which time Dr. Hib- bard was called to take charge. The member- \ship was then only three. In1843, the Society ‘was consecrated with twonty-two members, snd Dr. Hibbard installed patior. They worshipped first in an office, then a dwelling-house, and in soveral other places, until 1854, when the Socioty ‘purchased tho Garden City Institute, on Adams street. This was burned in 1858, and a Metho- dist church on Harrison street was afterward purchased and cccupied until 1863, when they moved into their new templo, located on Adams streof, between Michigon and Webssh avenues, This building, with the lot, was valued at $150,000. It was a beantifal temple, and though burned up in the fime fire, il 1ong be remembered as thesacred place where the Church enjoyed s previous life of nearly ten years. Up to this time soveral Missions had been estab- lished, to wit.: One on the corner of Thirty-third sirect'and South Park avenuo; one opposite Lincola Park, on the North Side, and one on Reuben street, on the West Side. Since the fire the lot on Adams straet has been exchanged for a Iot on the corner of Eightcenth street and Prai~ rie avenue, and a lot on Washington_stroet and. BSouthwestern nvonu%,mjnnt east of Union Park. On both .Jots’ bnildings have been recently erected, and are new used by the two, congrgf‘xlh tions. The West Side Chapel is built of Mil- wankeo brick, and, including lot, is valued at $60,000. 1t is ‘proposed to replace tho boilding _‘on tho South Side, ~at some fnture time, with a new templo that shall rival the splendors of the one burned in 1871. Dr. Hilbard, has been preaching to the Society since 1843. Divine service is lmlfi on the South Sido every Sunday morning, and on the West Side every Sunday.afternoon. The total membership i8 208. There are prosperons Sunday Schools in connection with tlus denomination in the Sonth, West, and North Di 08 of thocity. The New Jernsalem Society is not at present large one in this country; on the contrary, it is quite emall, numbsring, &l told, less than ten thou- eand members. Theic largest racmbarebip is foapd in Maseachunctis; noxt in Ilincis, noxt in New York aud Obio, The following ia the creed of {ho Church: ; I believe in the Lord Jesus Chriet, the only God of Heaven and Earth, in whor {8 the Divine Trinity of ‘!’::.1: 'y 86u, and Holy Spirit, in essenco and in person 1 Lelieve in the Sacred Scripture, which is the Word of God, Holy rnd Divine in the Letter and in the Spirit, and the Source of all Wisdom to angels and to men, 1 believa in the New Jeruealem, foretold in the Reve- Iation, and now comizg down from God out of Heaves in the Regencration by the Lord; in the lifc of Charity; in the Resurrection of man ia his Spizitual bady; in Xlxcn.hdgm!m after death; and in the Lify everlasting, en, THE NOON MEETINGS. , Probably nover in tho history of the Y. M. C. A. of' Chicago have the mectings been more decply interesting than now. Notwithstanding the severcly cold weather of tho past week, the attendance at the noon prayer-meetings bas been large. Many of tho churches of the city havo been represented by members who found in this hour of prayer nmew strength for their doily duties. The roports from the various parts of tho city show thata w ork of graco is quietly and steadily goingon. An interesting feature of the meetings havo been the reportsof strangers from distont towns and citios of the country. From Pittsburg and Boeton, from Coi- orado and Nevada, and the mines ef California have came storios of the wonderful _ working of God, ace. A large nmmber of reqnests for prayer v beon presented, and accounts given of con- ~ersions in counection thorewith, The meotings oro heldat 12 m. in tho Mothodist Church Block, corner Washington and Clark streets. The following is the programme for tho coming week: Monday, Jan. 15, “Ninth Chapler of John,” L. Kimball. ... Tuesdsy, Jon. 1f, “God's Love,” William~ Alvin Burtleit. ... .

The third quarterly meeting of tho Daptiet Woman's Missionary Society of the Wost was, held in the Wostern Avenue Church, on the efternoon of the 9th. Mrse. Robert Harris, the Dresident, occupied tho chair. The meoting opened with prayer by Mre. Bird. Tho President remarked that this was the third quarterly meeting of the eecond year of the Society’s existence. Coming, 88 it doce, in the week devoted by the Christian world to prayer, it is most fitting that, as far aa possible, this meeting should bo one of grateful acknowledgment for all the blessings which have marked our progress as s Society, and for plans for future usefolness and grester activity. While we are thenkful for what we have been epabled to accomplieh, yet, as we ask ourselves the question, can it be said of each one of us, 8ho hath dono what she conld ?*_Are we not oppressed with & coneciousness of our own shortcomings, snd of our want of con socration to tho cause of the con- vorsion of the world? Let ' this now ieuboum beginning of moro earnest work, et our preyers nud efforts go band inbapd. The request for the observance of this week of prayer como, from thoso in remoto lands who Telt the special need of the united prayers of the Christian world for the blessing of God upon their Inbors ; and let us, in_harmony with this request, devoto the timo which may romain after the transaction of tho necessary business, to earnest proyor for God's blesaing upon our fis- sion, on the work of our Society, and ask that ‘we may each be led to more entire consecration to Christ and His cause. : “ Aunt Lizzio” Aiken then led in prayer, when the Secretary’s roport of tho lost quarterly meeting was read and approved.

Osgood, reported the following recsipts for the quarter £1,602.09 The report of the Corresponding Secretary was_thon read, giving & general roview of tho work of the Bociety at home and abroad. AMr. Mitehell followed the reading of_ the report with some remarks. He seid: You have heard what our missionaries are doing. I wonderif youand Y have over thought what_great responsibilities we rest under in this day, Christianized and civilized as our nation is. Have we ever realized tho claims upon us? It is with gratitude we hail thisnew movement among tho women of our churches, forit affords au opportunity for all, oren tho youngest, to contribute to this great worl Aftor the transaction of some other business, Rev. J. Gordon, pastor of the church, mads some remarks, offered the cloeing prayer, and pronounced the benediction. SERVICES TO-DAY.

Ho had more zeal than knowledge of the Italian lacgusge and customs. His 5chool had not long been opened before it was closed by the authorities. This was done, it appears, through no hostility {o his schemo on the part of the Government, but be- cause he had neglected to comply with certain legal formelities.

Then came s ton at. MONEY AND COMMERCE. MOMETARY. Satuepay EviNixg, Jan. 11, Money is easior in the local market than 1t was a weck ago, but not 5o much 8o as there wasrea- son 10 expect would bo the case by this time, when a considerable ion of the January in- terest ard dividends have got into circulation. The most mearked effect of theso disbursements thus faris eomo increazo in the amount of ‘mouey offered for loan on real cstate. But in the commercial money market, one of the circumstances that is helping not o littlo to make money easier in New York is having tho reverse effect hero, viz.: the .unusual flow of currency from the West to tho Ezst. Nearly every bank in Chicago has been shipping cur- rency to New York during the past week; sev- eral of thoao that have dono so haye not shipped » dollar of currency to New York for several years, and one or two old established banks that nover remitted a dollar of currency to Now York before, bave sent large smounts thero within the last threo days. This is the offect of tho blockade in the movement of hogs, cattle, ond products to the Atlentic seaboard. ~ If tho transportaiion facilitics had been sufficient to move tha property that was offered during tho last ten days, money would be easy here now. This condition of affairs is, of courso, un!{ tem- porary. The eastward railroads will probably bo able to furnich greater accommodation before long, but, until they do, the case in money that was expected to take place in this month will not be oxporienced. The doposits of country banks with their correspondents here are in- creasing & little, but this is not the case with city accounts. Morchants rcport col- lections ‘in the country unsatisfacto and, instead of making collections to moet their Eastern obligations, many of them are still bor- rowers of their baukers. The advent of milder weather will, however, facilitate the movement of stock and products in the country, and, if the railroads can carry the freight, the West will re- alize cn what it has to sell, and money will bb- comao easy.

Wheat, b Cattle, No. Flour, brls. g produce markets were moderately active to-dsy, and generally firm at u slight ad- vanceon yesterdsy's. quotations. The principal exception to the Iatter phase was wheat, Now York was quoted stronger on the leading cerecals, and our receipts coniinue light, though thero are signs of a change in that direction before long. The weather of to-day indicated that the 1sst “‘atmospheric wave” has passed over; it does not show when we may look for another. Dry goods werequiet, almost todulners. Very fow 1nterior merchanta were in attendsico, and tho order business was algo light. ‘Tie continued quiet has not, however, resulted in oy *‘soften- ing" of prices, all stapl seasonablo fabrics bo- ing held with undiminished firmness. Stocks are boing steadily improved, both in size and general attractivoness. In tho grocory market ot o single new featuro was doveloped. Trado was again reported slack, and values undorwent no visiblo change. Coffees continue strong, with something of an upward tendency, and tess are also very firm, Bugars remain dull and easy, as do also soaps. . Rice, candlss, spices, and other goods in the List were quoted a‘ea.dy. Butter met with & good inquiry af abont formor rates, the feeling being firm for all grades eave medinm, which, being somewhat neglected, were easy. Bagging remains dull without change in prices. Cotton seamless goods are etrong, in sympathy with the raw material. Cheese remainsinactive, but is a shado firmer, owing to_the recent slight advance in Now York. The conl markot was firm at_€12.00 for Lackswsnna; $£10.50@11.00 for Erio; at £10.00 for Blossburg, and st $7.00 for Wilmington. . No change was noted in tho fieh and dricd fruits markots, busincss ruling very quiot, with littlo or no vatistion in prices. Hay, hides, and leather continue firm. Qils . were quiet’ at 2@ for carbon; st 7o for'; estra % ord; 83@08c for linseed, and st 770@72% for turpentine. Paints, colors, tobacco, and wood were dull. Laumber was quiet and unchanged. Buildin materials were dull and nominal. Iron an steel were in modernte demand at quotations. Motals and tinners’ stock, nails, eto., remain a:n‘ct. Metals are firm, owing to a firm tone in o Eastern and forcign markets. A moderats demand exists for salt at 22.40@2.50 for coarse to fine grades. The market is firm, owing to tho light supply. There was no _speéial change in the wool and broom_corn markets. Thereis a fair inquiry for fine snd medium wools, cent. TFlour was more active, and steady in the mat- ter of prices. Soma of the dealers wero_talking of probable advance in prices, sccing that New York was roported strong, but nore asked it of buyors. A fow lots were taken for shipment, but the bulk of the trade was on local account. Stocks are light. Bran was steady.

Henco there is not much desire {o invest, though the impression seoms to be general that higher prices must pre- vail in the summer. It is noteworthy that we much noarer the relative price as are given by Liverpool, minus cost of transportation, than 1s usual in winter. A portion of the decline was established yestor- dey afternoon, on_receipt of the news that Liv- erpool was again lower. Tho depression on the o{figr sido of the Atlantic is but natural, even if the pooplethero should prove to be hfiely short on the crop. They are receiving liberal supplies of Californis wheat; and, besides that, the quality of the English crop i8 stated to bo so poor that tho farmers do not dare to keep it till warm weather. Hence they are delivering as rapidly as possible this wintor, and thus keep the leading points liberally supplicd with grain. Theso facts are well understood by our leading operators, and when wo remember that there are very few buying ordera from outside on the floor thia winter, it is really surprising that the market should be so strong. Never, since tho speculative era in wheat commenced, has there been eo little outside capital offered in it as now. With the exception of s few Ca- nedian orders, wheat in this market is almost entirely a local deal, being turned over, on losses OF proiits of ¥ porbu. - Seller February oper- at SL21%, sdvanced to 81223, declined to 81215, fote to 81.22}¢, sud closed at 31223/, Seller Alarch sold at S1.23%(@1.243¢, closing at 81245 Seller tho month, or cash No. 2 spring, g0ld at $1.205@1.203¢, cloding at $1.203;.

X CATTLE—In this branch of trade the past week has been more active than any of ita half- dozen predecessors, and a firmer, healthier tone bas pervaded the market, This favorablo change was tho direct result of the improved condition of tho markets below, and the light receipts and excellent quality of the stock offered for sale. The small number of beeves forwarded eastward 1rom hore during last wook and the preceedin ome, gave tho ses-board markets the mu needed opportunity to dispose of tho surplus meats that had accumulated during the holidays, 2nd under the tomporary scarcity that existed there during the ‘first balf of the present Jock, prices ndvanced sharply ot all points, This brought out a fi attendance of shippersg, and since Tuesdsy the domand for tho® Detter grades of stock has been guite urgent; 5o much so that the sup- ply proved inadequate, and sellers wero enabled to work up prices to the extent of 25@35¢ per 100 1bs. The intense cold weather prevalent Qduring s portion of the week, and the lack of ad- equate transportation facilities somewhat re- tarded operations on the part of shippers, but they have managed to get all their stock for- warded, and at the close very few droves, suita- Dle for shipment East, romain in tho yards. Cars are now becoming s littla more plentiful, and, with a promise of milder weather, the im- mediate foture of the market has a favorable look for sellers, though large recoipts would not only check the n%wud tendency of prices, but wotld, in all probability, cause = reaction. Local butchers have been liberal operators, &nd fair to good fat cows and floshy steers and oxen have commanded good prices. Stockers aro also in good roquest, and sell steadily st $3.00@ 3,50 for common, «nd at 23.75@400 for good to prime. Veal calves are salable at $3.50@5.75 for poar to choice qualities. There ia an increasin, Bupply of new milch cows, but prices keep wol up, and msy be quoted atesdy at $20.00@45.00 per head—tho outside quotation for choice. The supply of Texas cattlo continues moderate, and the offerings are mostly of good quality. Snles have been effacted at™ 82.50@3.00 for poor; at 23.25@3.50 for medinm, and at 93.75@4.75 for good to really choice. To-day thero was fair ac- tivity, both on local and Ezstern account, and the supply, though liberal for a Saturdsy, was readily diufioud of at the prices current earlier in the week.

The market opensd active_snd firm, and continued " so throughout, with prices generally firm. The heavy receipts of Tuesday were taton advantage of by buyers, and a slight docling was farced, bat under the diminished raceipts of the succoeding days the market recovered, and closes fum at something of an advance on inst week’s prices. Tho operations of shippers were curtailed by the Bearcity of cars, their parchases reaching only sbont 13,000 head, but_the packing semand was ent, and proved sufficient to prevent any can- siderable accumulation, each day’s arrivals being well taken up. The market opeaed firm at $8.70 @4.00, declined on Tuesdsy to 23.65@3.90, and, during Wednesdsy asd Thuradsy sd- vanced to ©8.75@4.10, at which "ranga it cloges firm, with only a’ew remaining in the pens unsold. Light smooch even lots have com- ‘mandod the best prices, sach being in good de- mand on New York and Cansdian account, at 93.90@4.10. With a ‘ew exceptionw: packers have not paid over £4.90, while the balk of their urchases wero withix the range of 83.80@3.90. iuga receipts are Jcoked for during next week and the following one, but the market has held up 80 well under the large arrivals of the past half dozen days that sellers seem to feel confi- dent of their abifity to sustain present prices. On the other hand buyers predict reaction, and ‘between the two opinions Western” shippers will hava to exercise their own judgment.
