Laird Colller de- Hvorod she following locturo at tho Church of the Mossiah, on “Sclonce an Expounder of Chrlgtisnitys” - i It would bo puro assumptlon, and intolorant flogmatism, to undortake to toll what original Olristianity was, Nolvingman knowa, Recont eritictsm of the original Chrintian documonts Lias, thowaover, dono sontowhat toward: the clearing up of this mattor. Tho oducated ‘aud soholarly ‘world {a yory much noarsr the truth now than even the oducatod and scholaily world ovor was bofore. ‘Certain men like Schonkel. aund Renan, Btrouss and DoWitto, Rocho and Keim,. wrought mightily . in - tho- or!g- loal _ Soripturos aud the. old _ MBS, o find out what Jesus himsolf sald and did; and what thoso who wrote his life made liwm to say and doj to take tho rocords and soparato tho gonuine from tho #purious; tho chafl from the whoat. Upon tho wholo, these wise and oarnest mon havo . not labored in valn. Thoy have tbrown much light upon tho Boriptures, As #cholars, thoy were by thoir echolarly instinet and training drivon to the sciontifio, at lonst libe erary, mothod of dealing with thoso records, The Hobrow and Christisn Scriptures wore treatod Just sa tho writings of JounP 1ug, or Busebius,— &8 humau compositions. All unmeaning phrases about plenary inspiration hed to bo disrogarded. Ono result of Biblical criticlsm i that the Biblo is botter undorstood than it used to be, and what is valueble in the Biblo ia valuabla upon intrinsio, and mot arbitrary aund falso, grounds, 2 Anothor result of investigation into tho authority aud crodibility of tho Bible. is that it is made & real book, end wo now begin to know pretty wall who tho writers of tho. several parta wera, the circumetances under which thoy wrote, and tho aims thoy had beforo them in writing . And tho vory best, tho most important aund praotical - result’ i that mnow tho valu- ablo of the Biblo is based upon . true snd not false morits ; that its authority is Htora~ Iy nndnolnu?aratilioua—oducntcfl, scientifloand literary peoplo can treat it with respect and not disdain. Tho schoo! of Paine, Yolney, and Yol- tairo bos passed away; that kind of Biblical criticiom can never roturn ; it was suporficial and scofllug ; it was textual, and appealed to the un- oducated andvulgar, and suited tho tastes of tho morally looso and vicious, Now, thero is a scionco of Thoology. Ohrist- fanity, among ‘educated poopls, stands up- on “its intrinsio merits, what is jcalled the supernatural eloment is found in it,—if it contains a divino cimmmumy known o8 the Christ, and so-called miracles, ®igos, and _woudors, and transactions m-nnghfl by lawa and agoncios of which aa yot wo kuow nothing,—then this sciouco. of Theology, this open-oyed, keon-scontod criticiem, will find theso things and leavo thom thore unharmed, and thoroe to do the good intonded by God and his boneticont Provideuco. For thaso are honesb mon—thoy aro thinking and writing, not in the interest of error, but in tho Interest of tho truth, They hnve no motive, that I can think of, to go sgainat {ho traditions oud projudices of the people, unless thoir integrity of soul and devotlon to truth put thom {kore. And should it turn out that all this miraculous oloment, snd all these eigos and wondors ure only acero- tions—aro wild stories that have no foundatiom in jact—ave tho storios of simple, superstitious, and imaginativo pooplo—then criticism must say g0, Honest criticism can keop uothing baolk, and, 80 far as Christianity is concerned, it can< not'bo harmed by tho truth, Miracles at best are not of tho ossonco of Ohristisnity, Nothing in tho contents of Christianity that liternry criticism can throw out ocsu injure it. A 'greut cargoof doctrines snd rights and suporstitions and traditions might Le thrown ovorboard, mucl to tlie advantage of the sailing of tho craft, S But the civilized world does not mean tothrow Chiistisuity ovorboard. The whole civilizod world i8 not a race ready for guicide. Chrint hag boen at tho helm of human affairs tuo long .aud has guided then: too woll to be disdsinfally or ungratofully dismissed in tho age- of His most lotious rchiovmenty over tho passions and pro- udices, tho v-eaknosses and wickednessca of inen. S AndI sco no signs anywbora of mutinous proceduros or purposea. Certainly not among thoso who aro somotimes most suspocted of them, Whou tho Coparnican systom began to :Emnd end prevail, it was supposed by many at roligion and tho wholo moral order of tho universe wero imperileu—ihat oven govorument and gocial ordor must go to tho well, Butit hes turnod out, not according to these ovil prophosies, but on the vory contrary, mankind has progress= ed intellectually and morally a8 nover in tho time before. Civilization has leaped forward in n most astounding manner, and byrenson, infact,of this radical onlargemont of knowledgo. Now; -t i Darwin, not . Coporaicus, who Ia the vory Antichrist to the votarioa-of darkness and the viotims of fear, Now, to many, tho de- volopment theory is little less than a ‘séandalous fmploy. It is supposod that the Biblo tenchon that tho genus homo, that man, was »_special, complato oreation, that man, just an ho is found- upon the earth to-day, except, porhaps, that Le wag morally purer and spiritually highor than now, was moulded by the hands of God ‘and placed in the Garden of Eden, and that then, thoro, . and thus, our race upon tho earth began. Darwin, Bchaaffhauson, Haeckel, and others have “‘traced Uack tho hintory of man to a period which - -lies - far boyond ‘all . historical tradition,” Natural history *‘hss put tho sn- tiquity of our race into that for Knat‘nmn, whon the Europsan man fought with the cayo animals . of the diluvium, ond 1ok ouly ato tho floah of the mammoth and rhinocoros, and the marrow of their bones, but evon laid cannibal hands on tho flesh of Lis own kind ;-into a time whon wan fod his herds'of reindeor amongst the glaciors, or lived inthe.pile-dwollings of the lakos, or hn{‘m up on the northern-consts great mounda of sholls, the relics of his moals.” Natural scionce has irretrievably destroyed the wery. foundations of the Bible chronologies. ‘Whother it can jogke 1t plain that all forms of natwral life have an identical immeasurably distant and _infinitesimally meagro beginning has not yot boon absolutely domonstrated, All lnllo%iou and tho posturo of present inquiry indicate it will. Nearlyall tha natural soientists are committed to these Jm" tions, and I shall frooly, for onn:“flvu my adher- ence proulptg and. whole-boartedly to the con« olusions of thete noble and industrious men, El.\g:"no doubt, are * co-laborors togethor with o Iamvery prond to belong fo the molentiflo followship now of Oopernlous, Kopler, Galileo, snd Nowton, and I do not moan o break faitn with suoh sorious and useful men, who intho mame followship have in ordor of timo come ina little Inter, as Lamarck and Darwin. Thoologioal scieiice is about in the same position as natural solenco,—it is onits way,—it is opon- ing tho domain of ‘fm“ probabulifies. Cortain foundations and old Jand-marks have beeu torn away, and the probabilitics are that othora must 0. Cortain arudlties of bellof, certain prepos- torous suporatitions, have fadod and fla. Thoy wore no essontial part of Ohristlanity, for Chirfetianity survives without them, It doos not seom to be shorn of its atrongth. Thot ‘which is vital to it is still in it, and nothing can displaco it. (Gostlio gaya ; ' Truo or falao arestrange quos~ tiona touching the thiu%u of tho Bible.

Whether owr notion, ag conveyod by the torm fnthor, was predicated of God by any one up to the time of Obirist, is vory uncertain, The profoundest thinkers among the Grooks and Romans wroto of God as thoe Incxorable Yate. 'Plalo and othors among tho Greelks, Horaco and others among tho Romane, whoso othical precapts aro near akin to Ghristian moral- ity, aro very far avay, in most they have {0 sny concerning God or £ gods, from Christ's teach- ing concerning hits Fathor in Hoaven, And, cor~ tainly, bis conceptfon is foreign to the Hebrew Seriptures and tradition. Tho accusation upon which Ohrist was {ried and condomned was that of blasphomy which was expressed in this—*"Ho called himself the Bon of . God, thoreby making himself equal with God.” The moral siguifi~ cance of this doctrine of- God's paternity in on- scchflly llustratod in the practical affcot of tho ootrine in domestic lifo. Whers, ontsido of Cliristendom ie thoro domestic virtuo? Egypt, Qregce, aud Rome, omphasized tho State snd Ciyil virtues, but domestio life was o trivial con-~ sidoration, and- social: virfue, thonugh not un- Imovwn, was rare and inconspicuous, There has bheen & gtruggle in the Church to. got this conception of God fully and. freoly oxpressad. Orthodox Christi- ity haa nover foirly and squarely accoptod all tho logical deductions aud fnferoncos of Christ’s tenching. ‘The worehip of a fathor stills fear and ovil approhioneions; begots trust, tendorness, and love, How can’ thoso qunlities of morcy, gooduoss, simplo and reposing truthfulnoss, bo made ko Gomport with ondloas burnings and oter- nal tortures? Hell hng boen moro mado of au o motive to_righteousuesy than thio love of tho Father, Theeo two conceptions have beon amlfiglh!g for ascendancy i tho Christian world, and, through long ages of darknces, suporatition, priestoratt, mid ccelestnstical bond: ago, tho conrser, harder, barbavic, and moro pre- postorous ins hold sway over tho nfirighted con- gclonces of men. Thelieyo it s Ind ita dny and done jta work. Among oducnted poople it ia wholly diebelievod, and umaong all peoplo it I little inftuentinl for good. Closely connected with this conceplion of tho spiritual character of God, Cliristinnty changes tfio basis of oxporionco—tho vory mpivit of hifo from bondage to liboerty. The roligion of tha Jows was rooted nnd_grounded in tradition; it was enslavod to rites, coremonies, nlos, ond regulntions ; it was & rligion of days, of fonsts ond fastingd, These wero observed through & sphiit of fear. - Jesus struckboldly at tho root of this appaliing sysiom of bondage. He called it a yoke, & burden, & whited sepulchro. Ilo taught that God was ~ plensod nob with saorifices, but with justico, morey, and _truth; not - with_ " oblations of oil, and offerings of myrrh and inconse, bub with truthfal and spiribual worehip. Ho inspired mon with hope to take hold of Gad, and encour agod them to take hold of the best in themsolves and“bring that to tho bolp of_ thoir fellows, and 08 on offering to thoir Father in Honven, —Lib- orty to_think is tho very key-noto of Cliristian- ity! Indeed, Christ's method et tho world to thinking, and wherevor the Spirit of Christ hiag ad freo courso, thinking s boon free think- ing and glorifiod, - Wherever mon aro not freo thinkers thoy ore'not frco Christinny, Ohristinnity, morcover, changes the schodule of values from tho'visiblo Lu tho invisibls, from tho scnse to tho apivit, from 1he unrealio tho rosl. “Asmany.as oro lod by the Spirit of God thoy aro the wons of God.” Men naturally have only matursl light end guidsuce. When men give themselves up to spiritanl guidanco then thoy have spiritual light and witness of adoption—thoy are tho sous of God if led by tho Bpirit of God. I think this i the truth .whiok .Lins. transformed the world. 1f askod whab tho prime thing in my judgmont; in OChristionity “which is the world's great overcoming, I should promptly ad- swor, * lta aflirmation of ' tlie ‘spiritual againut tho sentient.” Not oply that thore is an invisi- blo spiritual and celostinl power, but, that it is the source of, and superior to, tho visible, sen- tiout, and torrostriul world. = Ten yonrs ngo Birnues wrote: ' Thae spirit had not shown it- Belf as an indopondont power ns long as it had not uflirmed itgclf in its opposition against tho sousiblo, in pain and mascerations, in the quest of the invieible, oven of the ignominlous. It wag nocossary that tho leughty and eolid edifice of tho Ioman Empire should fall to the ground that tho Church should have gway ovor tho State, tho Tope over the Emperor, it humanity was'to succeod in understanding that thore is 1o matoral furco so groat Lut must, in tho long run, yield to the form of conviction and of {dens." In this way Christ ‘' moved the sentiment of humanity, restorod ondfed with new sap the roots of its heart, and introduced into araco ox- Lousted and comfortless tho infinite world of taith, lovo, oud hofm." “Whnt was this lifo,” nska Montalombert, *if not & permanent protost against human weak- nees,—n repotion renowad evory day agaiust all that degrades and enorvates man,—n perpotual aspiration towards all that soarg above this ter- rostrint 1ife and follow nature? “1ho soul, elovated to God, offers to Him without ceasing . that trinmph which the urost forcos and inost genorous instincts of uman nature gains ovor the senges and thie passions, .

Scrmon by the Reve €. Duay Noble, of the Sccond Swedenborginn Sacicty. The Rev. 0. Day Noble, prstor of the Socoud Bwodenborglan * Socloty, prenched yestorday morning in Murray Chapel, on *Individual Inapiration,” taking as lis text the thirtoonth vorsa of tho cloventh ohaptor of the Gospol so- cording to Bt. Lukes - : It yothon, bolug ovil know how to give good gifts unto” your children; how much more shall your Heavenly Fathor give tho Holy Spirit to them that ask Tim? F : ‘What is the Holy Bpirit? Briefly, it s what tho torm implies,—a sacred ‘inbroathing into tho soul fromr Him who is ita Father, and who is the Supreme Divine 8pirit. As applied to Di-~ vino influonces, the torm distinguishos thoso which flow juto us from & socret and rltogother spiritun! source, from those which originate in nature, art, seionco, circumstanco, and reach us through tho sonsos, When tho Divino Boing operated upon man through his_natural sonses, .Ho called Himaol? the Bon of Man. But when Ho withdrow to n highor place of manifestation and npproached man in hreathings and magnot- izings from within and above, Ho callod Mimself the Ifoly Spirit and tho Comfortor. *'I will not Toave you comfortless ; I will como to you,” He unid in 11ia long good-bye to Mis dlaciples, And agsin, “1f T dopnrt Isholl sond the Comforter untoyou.” Ever graciously accommodating in 1lis torms, 1o s{mulm now of a Fathor, now of Iim- uelf, now of a Holy Spirlt, but Ho links tho thrco in one, as soul, body, ‘sud aotion aro one, in such oxprosaions as this: ‘*All thiugs that tho Fatbor hath are mino; therefore snid I that the Comfortor shall take of mine, and shall ahow it unto you." By idoaa that would not confound and atnitlo, through exprossions nicoly graded dovn to tho crudae spiritunl knowledge of thoso who listenod, the visiblo Divino man sought to conncob Limaelf in their minds on the ono hond with tho unscon Fathor, snd on the other with tho unscen' powerful Breath obout to mwoop through them with illuminating splendor and tho bestowal of miraculous gifts. Ile tried to say, and did say, in a masterly way, “You lnve taken Me as tlo Mossenger and Roprosentative of God : when I 2 gon from your -outer sight, T will como to you by an inner way, under tho form of a blossed Ingpiration, which will tonch l;;m\ more of 3lo, and Lhus of the Father. Tor the Father's things aro Mine, and [am tho Fathor, now como down, sud intondiug forover horenftor to come down, to ovary low and every bigh level of your comt prehansion.” DBecauso the Divine Soul, in try- ing to approach ours, thus rings his tenderly anxious charges upon the dramatic figuras and oxpressions of personality caloutatod to impress us, do not let us fall juto tho heathenisa of di- viding 1lim into three. \When Ho comas to usin tha secret swolling throb of ropentanco and love, in tho gloom or gloss of illuminating failb, in peaco, or hopo, or joy, 1o is the samo ovor- brooding Soul who infitled 2nd controlled the man Jeuus Chuint ; tho pamo who zpoke. from flaming dush and mountain to Moses; the samo to whom aucient races with leaping iufantile im- sginations sung hymne, or efter whom in infan- il ignoranca they gropod. In all roligions has tho Divino inbroathing boon souglt alter; inall hag it been folt.

THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IR THE NORTHWEST. 2 PAPER FOR THE FARTIER, WIECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAW, AND THE FIRESIDE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, ‘The coming year promises to bo the most eventfulin g political sense that we have seen since the close of the war. The questions which have engrossed and divided tho public mind during the past twenty years are rapidly passing away, and we find growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari~ ous names---in California the Inde- pondent party, in Jowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having & com= mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strongth which proves that it.answors ono of tho chiof de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give o largo share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st, That the old party orgomiza- tions are essentially corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, they have become mere business enter- prises, making a show of opposition to each other, but reelly sharing in the proceods of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any herlthful reform can flow from the pretonded eofforts of these worn~ out and domoralized partnerships is altogother vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff’ system now in vogue is & cunning device to rob tho many for tho beneflt of' tho fow, and that its effoct is to ceuse ferm pro- duots to exchengo for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- ;ectad" goods they would otherwise uy. 8d. That railroads cannot exact more than a fair rate of interest on tho capital actuslly investedin thom, end that when, in addition to this, thoy olaim dividonds on waterod stock and fraudulent bonds, the Btetomeay right{fully intorfore for the protection of the people ; thatunjust digeriminetions botwoen difforont localities are in violation of law aud should be prohibitod. 4th, That subsidies or bountios of money, land, or publiec credit, to railway, stoamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of tho powers of governmont, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, ond tending to promote corruption, extravagance, spoculation, and financial disaster. The genoral charncter of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too woll establishod to need recapitulation, It is always independent and fears less in tho expression of its views, In its news department it is second to no peper in tho United Statos. The Weekly Edition contains a oare- fully propared summary of tho news of the week, brought down to the hour of going to pross. Literary, politiosl, finencial, so- cial, and sgricultural topies will constitute, 'as herctofore, loading fentures of the Weekly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increase its attractiveness in those depart- ments. Its markot roports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation whioh farmors require for the iatelligent transaction of busi- ness, both as sellers and buyors. . THEHE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a large eight-pago sheet, of the same size as the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six ocolumns of closcly- printed mattor, and, as a fomily newspapor and in its goneral malko- qp, is unsurpassed by any paper in tho land., .
