And the recent dizcussifn at Evans- ton by the 200 Methodist ministers/and Bishops reaalted in concluding, among other things, that “‘God created the sonl of man immortal, and wouid not cut off that immortality in either the sinful or the righteons, though 1t was_ eminently witiun His power to do £0.” This doctrine of the soul's immortality is the ‘sorner-stone upon which rectsa superstrctare made ap of the rollowing beliefs: (1.) That the sonl is the real man, consequently man is im- mortal. (2) Being immortal, he must live for- ever. (3.) Such being his desting, & heaven exints eomewhere * beyond the bounds of time wuod spaca” for the righteous, = purgatery for another class, and a burning hell of eternal tor- 'ment for the remainder. sut, supposing the doctrine of the lmmor- tality of the soul b false, what will become of al theories and doctrines that are founded upen jt? They esink to rise no more. The heaven ‘of immortal souls, the Catholio purgstory, dod blaziog hell of tormestad and Dever-dying souls, aro sll_depondent for their existance upon a belief first in the *‘immortal sonl” of man. TIs it not passing stranpe that a doctrine of such vaut importance as this should be accepted by g0 many, whea the Bible affords no proof of its trath? Do the people know that their ministers even do not pretend that their doctrine is affirmed in tho Bible in plain langusge, but is taught only by inference ? Do they koow that the texta which ars supposed to teach it infer- entiallr, when fairly examined, lend Do support ‘whatever to this bolief? Do they know that ‘tae soul is mentioned over 500 times in the Bibls, and yet in not a single matance is it cpoken of &2 an “jmmortsl soul,” *‘deathless soul,” or * never-ding soul "—expressions 80 freguently used by preachers at the presentday? Do thay know that the Bible declares in plain langusge that souls can die, be cut off, go to the grave, sud be delivered from 1t again? Tho fact ia the doctrine declared as true by the conclave of ministers at Evauston, that God “ 21eated the soul of man immortsl,” is utterly false. Let them produce,a singlp plain text in rupport of the doctrine, Fomething besides in- ference. Depend upop it, if God has created mau's soul immortal,und has also created a hell of torture to receive.it in case it should fail to rocept salvation, He bas slso revesled to men ¥he fact of his present immortahty in language un:eivtakable. “Else God would be chargeabla with placing man in danger of aa eternity of woe by reszon of his inberest immortality, and yet concealing from him the nature of his existence. But the truth is, man is ot immortal, but ‘wholly mortal. Immortality is s gift of God, a0d will be codferred apon those only who obey His w:m‘nnflmem:l.l ‘{ihux word *immortal” occurs but once 1n the Bible, and it is there plied to God—L Tim. i, 17.

(2) **This mortal must put on_immortality (1. Cor., xv., 53), thus ehowing that it is mortal man that is to be clothed with immertality at the resurrection of the desd.

The popelar beliel in the present immortality of wan. wiuld eoggest & changs in thia text as fol- lows, in order to harmobize with the pre- valing view: *Aund when this immorial _ghall put off this morml.” It is commonly believed . that the immortal soul of man * shufiles off it 1nortal ooil " at death, and wingaits way to other thheres, ot such 3 belisf i taught by men niy. s WO, ilent o S ol I a3 the grave upon Iy conclasion, aliow me to say that the Bible, that good cld book, has been assaiied by its Soppodlion than it teneh B supposition 1 ight ridiculous fables £0 often propounded by men who profess to.be its exponents.

Sale of Pictures at the Exposition Building, Peoaliafitiss of the Paiutings Ex- __ hibited There, ‘Notes About Artists in Other . Cites, - A Visit' to Pompeit. THE EXPOSITION PICTURE SALE. BUBJECTS VERSUS TREATMENT. This week closes the_exhibition and sale at tha Exposition Building, by the New York'and _Phuladelphia pictore dealers, ' The eale, can scarcely be said to have been & sucoess, sud it is bard to ses what considerations can have brought Eastern art-dealers here mith 20 large a stock of pictures at » time when business retrenchment and domestic ecopomy are general., Howaver, whatover the occasion or forsune of the exhibi- tion, it has served s useful purpose to the public by giviog it an apportunity to become familiar with the wark of & considerable number of good artista, whose pioturcs do not often find their say a0 far Weat. ‘Tlio artistio "qualify of the pictures was, on the average, wnnsually high for a dealers’ exhibition. . A visitor, who had the cariosity to make a rough classification, reports’ that .in the second room he counted smong soventy-five pictures eleven of unusual merit, thirty that migbt justly rank as”good ‘pmetures, and would disgrace no gentlqman's parlor, twen- ty-three ordinary, and eleven - decidedly bad. Sigeo the firet room was decidedly below this in merit, and the other three somewhat abows it, it may be taken as.a fair judgment of the whols collection. There seems to have been soms deficiency in tho msnagement or the advertising, for & con- siderable proportion of the people who sxe in- terestod in fine art ‘either have not heard at all of the exhibition, or bave not undersodd ‘that it waa of more importance than tha almost weekly auction of machine-made pictures, painted to Rell the frames. THE MANNER OF AUCTIOREERING cannot be considered advantageous to the sale, at least in the firat weok. The traditions of suctioneering require that the suctioneer should mako a parrot of bimself, and there is probably & good reason for it founded in some principle of human nature, sacertained by long experience. But it oap scarcely be pecessary that be should make ‘s buffcon’ of himsalf, and morsover stultify his customers—iirat, by aitributing to them such discrimination as'they are weil aware thay do not ossess, aod then by giving tuem snch informatiop about pictures as wonld be an iosult to & small child The greater oumber of buyaers, certainly the wore im.ortant onas, are peiaons who have oxamined the pictures and know someihing aboat them, and who moreover Lave determined pretty precisely what they are willing to give. A sensible aod truth- ful presentation of the objecty on sale wonld certaioly moswer tha purposes.of tlis class of purchasers better than the present clap-trap methad, and for the miscellsneons, chance qus- tomers, it would be a coosiderable sdvaotage if the auctioneer should exhibit some evidence of- knawiedge of what he was talkiog aboat ; naris this 8o uureasonable to expect aait ar first ap- pears, siuce piclure sales aro'now & frequent and regular part of the muctioneer’s buswess, and might profitably be made a speciaity. _YVivacity is not objectionable, but ignorance and misrep- resentation are. 1t ought to be said that thess Tremaris have no espeoial Applicability to the re- cont sales, nor has the wrer attended any of the last wesk. PROF, SWING REMABKED in a recent sermon, that upon wisiting a large picture exbibition with a person of some artistic taste, his friend called his sttention to the pov- erty of subjects but the excellsnce of the tech oical execation. With thus bit of narrative the reverend gentleman had the impertinence to'il- lustrate tha genera! walk and conversation of s large number of our citizens, aud of mankind generally—an immense deal of first-rate work applied to vory unworthy objects. Whethar be bad iv miud the preseat exhibition we have oo means of koowing, but the remark was 5”““’"’ aplicable to it, 88 well 38 to almost all art col- lections, old or new. The fact is that artists are like ' the rest of humamiy and ‘only occasionally rise “ to bigh lovels or bave anythipg great to express. As thou- sands of auibors get to write a tolerably goo d style, or even an excellont one, and yet fall short - of - producing anything ;poteworthy, a0 hosts of artists paiot well, s faras concerns professional skill. without sxpressing sny strik- ing.: or valuable ideas—because they have them not. There ix this differonce, however,in favor of the artist: that In his work the form and vehicle of expression are indefinitely more imporiant than 1 literacare, sud a ricture of an insignifi- caot subject may at the least ho valuabls for. docorative purposes, or, at the_bost, may_give i of color ag Heace, thonght about the management of colers baing enaier than thonght apont abstract ideas, our ar- tists nro all at work producing plotures admira- ble chiefly or solely for < EXCRLLENT TREATMENT. Ordinary art criticism is almost of necessity - confined to tho same qualities which the artistd fouod no patrons, snd muat go back to the pall- od aud jaded taste of the Eastern market.

Prof. Willism R. Ware, of the Massschusatts Inetitute of Teohuology, s Just given a leotare befors the Boston Art Club apon the revival of the art of atajning glass, illnstrating bis remarka by exbibiting many beautiful specimens of -an-: cient and modern work. The Boston journals give carefpl repurts of tho locturs,. and alinde to i% 38 & proof of the growing interest of the com- are iutent upon. It was noticesbls in » letter published in Tk TRIBUNE same weeks a0 con- cerning the water-colcrs in'this exhibitian, that there wss no allusion to the greater or less sac- cens of the artists in expressiog their idoas, but purely a tochnical, or porhaps what might be colled su’ esthetic, 1eview, This ia perfectly charscteristic of tho condition of art, sud proba- bly unconscious cn the part of the wnter. If thia same collection of water-colors were ftried: by the standard of what they express, it would be found that not one in ten of them expressed ansthing at all. A cluster of flowers, some sheop eating siraw, a pleasant nook in the conn- try,—~auch for the most part are tha subjacts, and they find their admirers smong persons with artistio instincts similar to the love of music—fond of form and color for their.omn swko, The pictares of Vibert, ** Don Quizote” aod tho **Duel,” form an exception to this, as the pictures of this artist generally do, ana it will be noticed that when an artist habitually illustrates definite ideas in his pictures he is on tho rond to distinction. Flowers are, of course, frankly decorative, at least, one would have to spend some time studying up the * language of flowers " to make them otherwige. ‘Among the oil paintings in this exhibition, b s THR STUDIES OF S8TILL LIFE are in the same vein, Three or-four pictures of Miloo Ramsey, of Paris, of groups of kuick- koacks thrown pon o table in_a studio, are. ex- ceedingly satiafactory in the matter of color, and nothing batter could be asked for a hall 'or din-~ ing-room. Theso pictures are catalogued ‘‘objects ef art,” ‘‘objocts of pa- tuie ond art,” ete. Another French pictare vory beautiful in color'and drawing is the **Pet Dog" of Chevillard, & rather small; full-leogth picture of & lady in a yellow silk dress relieved :]gninst an almost black purple carc & teaselated martle pavement, and 2n Italia eyhound at her feet. Another brill- innfly-dressed lady appears in “Deep Thoughts ™ (Amberg, Berton), the dreas of the deepest and most vivid crimson and charmingly painted. A VERY ASTONIBHING PICTURE, . in s recent French manuer, is ‘‘The Siests.

A well-bnown art critic, Horsca Barney Wallace, in a reply some years ago to a Bevers criticism of Powers' Greek Slave, cat tho ground out from under his adversaries by saying that there wers somo things g0 positively good that criticism of them in no wise affected the publio eatimation of them, but served simply to fix the status of the critic, At some risk of falling intc & similar pit, the belief maust be ex- prossed that the violent method illustrated in “ %q: !s:n&s" 3 n;nha!rhaflu;y Dor gaod, nor will i o painting of the fature, a3 it cer- Fuinly has not bean of the past. i ME.

AN INCIDENT OF THE RECENT PICTURE SALE. The Eastern dealers intereated in the sale at the Exposition building appear to have tried a litlle experiment on the docility of the Chicazo pubtic, andnok to have missed their reckoning altogether, Among the water—color pictures exhibited snd offered at auction, was No. 432,.%“Study of & Sheep,” & small drawing mostly in sepis by Bras- cassat, a well-known animal painter. Tho sni- mal is represented lrm' g down in some straw, and is very artistically.and cleverly painted. Tho difficalty is, it is not s sheep at il but & ju- venile donkey—an sss, sed the foal of ‘an 288 — & ood, long-eared, healthy, ebaggy lttle brate, =~ who' 1looks as though thistles wera_ plenty. *However, baving committed bimself in the catalogue, the suc- tioneer boldly put up the *Etudy of a Sheop,” and the intelligant public were expected, withont quostiopiog whother 1t was a aheap, or & camel, or a whale, to bid upon it. Whather It was sold or mthdrawn is not known, bat Chicago peopla certainly know s jackass when they see him,—if ther know themselves, and they think they do! The Academy of Science onght to be called upon to determine what kind of an animal this is, and if it bo not a sheep but a donkey, to de- termine whether the mistaka is the dealer’s, the artist’s, or the dookey’s. .
