The following is the substance of an iutorest- iug address delivered last week at Obetlin, by Prof. C.H. Cburchill, of the College which is located there : + Do you see that human skull ?” said Goethe, -walking with his friend in au old cemetery. It appears to me like a mere biossomof the spinal- column, a0 expension of the uppermost verte- bra.” This poetic fancy, thus first expressed, i8 now an accepted dectrine of snatomy. It may itlusteate the relation of geuius to intelligence, of byovothesis to science. It goes before and pregares the way, inspiring with its lofty m- sginiags the enthusiasm of the patient plodders 00 come to verify their suggestions, and who tlins get glimpses of tne glory which ehall re- ward the toil. Genius sometimes sees at a glance the csuses the sequences, and the relations which to the common mind appear involved in unfathomable intricacy. The physical creation is as fuil of un- written poetry as is the world of society, and opens as iaviting & field for the pluy of tue imeginstion, a8 largo though widely different cope for the most comprehensive intelligenco, as do the -ambitious, the intrigucs, and the yassions of men. For here we deal directly with the thoughts of God, and are amazed, or piessed, or iouched with deep emotion, as His power, or His siull, or His love shive forth. 1t is not wise, therefore, to decide a8 is viona~ ry the hypotbeses set forth by the masterly minds which have proved their right to be heard. TFor, while some of these will a suredly not abide the test of large and thorough ibvestigatiou, cthers will remain as endunng monaments of tho power of hamau tbought. Nor doed & bold bypothesis which cballengea the admiration of men, aod which at least bicda tozether facts not otherrwise easily rotained, ful (o be & great blews- ing to maukind, though tune aud researcl prove it to be fallacious. Who shall estimate the usefulness of the fluid theory of elec- tricity and of heat, or tbe corpuscular theory of light, thoughno oue of these isat present received as trne? What an inspiration has the doctuiue of the correlation und the consecvation of forces been to ecientitic men, and what vast reputations have been built on their discovers. Mecbacical force may indecd be converted into hght: but, up to a very recent date, Lght nas oxhibited no force ~whatever, and the recently-discovered force 18 barely sufli- cleut to overcome the smallest resistance that can be devised for it. Lavoisier became s household name because a few yoars ago he discovered Luat animal heat was the result of the slow combustion constautly gomng on 1o tho lungs and distiibuted througn the 8.stem by the caculation of the blood. Now it is well known tlat the proportion of oxygen necessary to_produce (he amount of carbonic scil coutinualiy exbialed from tue lungs is far be- yond that which cao be derived from the 1ubaled ir, ana the theory 18 universally given up. Vital heat is fouud to be more or less dependent on nervous energy, and astovishing clanges in tho temperature of the body may be made while the action of the lungs and digestive apparatus re- main constaut. Mioreover, the numbcr of pulsa- tions of tue bemt in a healtay man bas been rawsed to nearly double the normal c.unt, while the temperaturs Las been lowered at the same moment. 1t is to be observed that, for the most part, the ongiuators uf those theories which have Deen most bulliant, sud have stood the test of time, as well a8 of those which have served onlya temj.orary purpuee, bavo beeu devout men, wor- ehipiug_ and loving God, or exercising the serene faith of the Chrstian; while patissn advocates of their theories, belioviag that they 1is which is : £self a8 old as historical science. The present 1 socopted theories of light and heat and electrici £y are baseless without it, and iy may al- most b- » aaud that if the atomic theory is falee the -xholo structure of modewn scientito | thoug he is a mere dieam; and yet i tho £ tomic theory proved beyond all question? Not a tow at the presentday have declared their beli af that the atoms are mere centres of force, anc, tha this force conveys o us the sense of ex’ ;ension and impenctrability which we consid- er esseutil to matter ; aud that all other me- e ries commonly asciibed to matter are simply varioties of the force acting from these centres. Others, with more or less pertinency,ask, How can there bo motion with nothivg 1o move, and what, else can force do bat move matter? 1tisae x4y for the infinite God to hold the conception of matter forever before the human mind, 2nd to sssociate the idea of = foum with 8 gwen soace or locality - 8o that every mind =zpproaching thet locality shail have the sume conceptions and experience. a similar train of thought, a8 it would be to cre- ate the matter, shape 1t into forms, and locate it. actually, and the spiritual resuts wouid be the game. Tow does noc imply decertion on the part of God. We do something akin to this when we disconrse of geometric forms in pme mathematics, and hold the coaception before each other's minds by words and symbols. Gud. ean communicate with iofinite facihty withous such machinery. Now, no branch of science has assumed high- er importance and attained 8 100re bertect de tion and aoalysis tban modern cbemistry. It the boast aud delight of the age. 1t has received the closest atiention of somse of the finest and most buil.iant intellects which the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries have pro- duced. Coucerning its facts, that is, its posi- tiva results, ita aflivities, its reactions, ita neu- tralizations, there is no dispute or doubt ; but is not the whole region of :t8 theories, down in the doptus of atowic httleness, down in the abyss of atomics; aces—aregion, Lo Bav the least, obscure? Nevextheless, tho theory is accopteble to candid mindd. But observe: chowicul scicnce is 8o far from enablinz us o conclude that there is no peed of Gud, or that matter has any seli- potency. that it cannot eveo axsure us toat mat- g otbers who will make epoil of every one on whom they can Isy haod? See how tenderly the skeptical parent will can tion his child agaiost the devilish snares swhich solfish and abominable men will place for the unsuepecting one's feet. Hee how he will advise the child to select good companions, and seek the societv of the pure and noble. And whatis all this but admitting the infinito superiority of love to seltishness ? This caution reveals the inner conscioussess of its author that the sve- tom of moral daties tanglst in God s Word is the true, the right, the immutable system, and, be he infidel, or atheist, or sensualist, or all com- bined, when the pressurs of 6o groas & respon- sibility is on him, the flimsy veil of his hyoocrisy i8 dashed saside, and his resl convictions reveai- ed.

Asamatter of fact, there are fiobably mors troly scientific wpirits among the’ learner clergy of our countr y than in aoy oth'sr rank or profeseion of men. The doctrine of the gradual refining away of aJ1 coarser aud more earthy matetial, the evolrstion of highes and higher types of characte -, the destructit,n of the wicked and worthless, and the troo survival of the fittest, is criguy 1l with tuoss S sriptures which the scientists aZect, so musa to ¢espise. B et s *'HUL IBRAS® V<, FALLOWS. THE FOBMET, BEFOR2I, To the Elitor of The Clidcage Iriouns: Cricaco, Aug. 7.—In my last communication I gave sa' eral gpasons, good and vahd ones, I tnin'g, way, in my opinion, Christiauity 18 op- POt od o human progress. Tho Rev. Dr. Fallows o supViments me again by reference to my article, ? 58 o resunes the discussion of the topic in his dscourse of last Sundsy. I do not desire to ter exiate at all independent of epirit, or, if it cxisty, that the atoms of a body aue certainly in- capable of division beluw a given point. But 1l kcience is 80 uncertain of its tenets ir, the rezlm of the atoms, let us look at i » triumpne 1n the region of infinite space. T e nevular hypothesis suggested: by Laple co, aud esponscd by tie elder ilerschol, 18 the * yro- liic mother of the evolution theory in al [ .its branches and outgrowths. Not necessan [y so, but the common origin of sil living bei ,ga in protoplasm is a sort of aualogical seque ace of the idea thac the esrth, with all the solar system, is born of ao infimitely different gas. * Fith tho bypothesis, we have no quarrel. It i8, held by a3 devout and reverent men 28 the world has ever seen. It is omty when. it is ao- paturally held to imply the €/ternity and self-potency of matter thet it becomes obmoxivus to resson 8nd cO'amon mensa. Now, this nebular bypothesis de mands of us to believe that these samo Bulid, atoms, whose smaliness and whoss compat atively wide dis- tances we have just been cous'dering, Were ouce 8o _duTused ihat millions of. millwas ot cubic miles of them would weiga but & fow oupces, aud were in a state of suchi intense heat that all the m:nerss and metals inaintained this highly volatiized form. To wecount for she planets and their comydlicated. motions, it is Decessamy to suppuse the ariginal mass of vapor irregular in form, so that 1notiun could be communicated by the tallivg down of the elevated or projecting tomuxu. and .separate bodies would be tormed y the evolution. and thss cooling of the vapor. ‘F'bis must bave hsjjpeness withio a period com- paratively recent, s few hundred millions of years &t D DE. But what power kept it hot and rreg ulur agpimst the law of the radiation of beat and or! gravicy duning the eter- nity which gmeudad? 1t seems also Dever to have occurred to thowe who reject the notion of sy power external to | he original heated mass that, according to the 1 sell-known law of action and reaction, the fali @ f projecting porions could never by any possibuit y produce a revolution of the whole. We have said that - the pebular hypothesis ac- connted for the phics nmenz ef tné Univoise & to the creation Of ,iviug oigamsms. At that poinc it fails, and Ir suce some woderu natural- 15ts have veutured @ o conjectures egqually bold but not equally happy. These could well enough be toler ated, however, il they were put forth simply as hypotheses. but when their f.dvocates dignify them wuh the name of ecienc we demur. We must cer- tainly put the doct rines of evointion and proto- plasim outside of things known. Tas procf of their trath at the presant 6tago of the question is at the best obw cure. Yet there are marvelons analogies which ] ook toward the truth of Dar- win'a theory. I erdinand Papillon says all eggs are exactlyaliko. The egg of a lion and theegg of 3 mguse ot 0 ne stage are identical 1 form, the nuwver of celis, and tha chemical constitu- euts. Eachis a mere tranaparent mucous drop, the 250th of ar. inch iv diameter, and with abso- Jutely no:hing by which its futuie can be fore- told. Yet each one goes ou adding cells, develupwg the emiryo, pursuing & continuous growth, incessantly producini and multipiy1ng new forms and new forces, tiil the perfece and beautiful organism, each in ity land, disports. itself 1 the sunlight. The doc- wine of evoaiution, as tauzht by Darwin, does not teach that man is the improved monkey, or that he 1 the offspriog of any 10wer species, bus that from a common monad one Lne of deveiop- ment leads 10 man, anoiker $o the monkey, etc. 1u will at once occur to those who are uot bostile to the ides of & supreme, divine Creator that 1t requires the same intelligense, will, and purpose to develop & wan {rom & nonsd in twenty-five millions of yesis 33 to do the same thing in twenty-five years; and the doctrine whbich the thoughtlss ekeptica have caught up, with eugh eager haste and paraded with 8o ignorant an assurance, must in- evitably recou upon them. Darwin himself 18 said to be a believer in God, though not a pro- fessor in the Clristian faith, sud assuredly be needs to be to make bis famous theory tenable a moment. i Mr. Darwin'’s pupile. haye materially modified bave seen in them the seeds of a powerful opgo- siuon to religion, have both rashly com- mitied tbemselves to the theortes, and have bult upon them sn iutricate superstruciure in- volving 8 vast amonat of truth aud errot which they practically ciaim as science par excellence. 1t is this last class of men who have precipitated an apparent cotlict between eliglon and science, while all of truth which they have is as much the property of religion as of science itsed. It 18 the boast of the scientist that he builds on facts, aud knows whereof he aflirma. Age after age the store accumuiates, each brother contcientiously and tollfally gathering materiats whose worth he kuows not, and which will only be appreciated perhaps centuries after bis death. No one wou!d cell in question a recorded ob- scryation of Pythagoras, or Thales, or of Ptolemy, or of Newtun, or of Herschel, or hesi- tute to make it a basis of reckoniug, any more than a Christian would hesitate to accept the tesumony of Paul, or the experienceof Peter. But acience, like religion, has its hypocrites and ietenders. The Calipb of Bagdad, iu the eighth ceutury, ordered his astronomers to measure an arc of tbe meridian, with the view of ascertain- ing the dismeter of the carth. There is good “evidence that they made a femnt of messunvg the arc. aud returned to the Caliph the result of Plolemy's measurement mede a thouasud years before. 50 mow we bave Cardiff giants and artificial mermaids. We Dbave human skulls, found at astonisbing depths and jn unneard-of places, to prove the autiquity of man. The facts of a man who has a pet theory sod s partissn epint will bear scaoning very closely in these days. The suthority of distinguisned names will no longer safiice ; the proofa must be overwhelming. 1f the scieotist were conteut to give tho wouid his proven facts, and state modestly his conjectures, giving other people, equally shrewd, the same privilege of gueesiog, we should pever hear of sny contro- Seray betweer science ana religion. Controvelies arise from the different methods of accounting for tho facts of Nature, and not from the facis themselves. Nothing betrays the nnscientific spirit of a professed scientist sooner tnan the exhidition of impsatience wheu his con- jectures are not received as things known. Somo perfectly honest s'ndents of Nature may wander beyond their depth when batrayed, by their novelty, into imaginative speculations which will not separate themselves in the miod from the facts. But therevereut and desout spitit eutors the eame feld of investiga- tion, and has so pezfect an iusight 1nto Nature's works that tbe man comes back all aglow with the wision, and gives modestly the scconnt of his expioration and the summarv of his conclusions 1o words of such power | they become the watchword of scisnce for all time. 5 Such an origin had the atomio theory which in the basis of modarn chemical knowledge, but the original theory. A distinguished anatomixt of Philadelphis, not lung since, iu lecturing be- fore a medical c'ass on the humau eye, exbibited by comparison the eye of a cock, and calied the attentiou of the clags to the thin membrane which the fowl is v:customed to draw in front of the pup1l in the act of crowmng. He then point- ed out the shght Lold of a simlar membraoe at the corner of the' human eve. and gravely re- marked that thiz was the remains of the coarser skin-covering which served tbe needs of mnn when be had no higher ambition than to acralch the earth, to sirat about, and to exult ovor his fellows. He failed to state why the men of the presant epoch, whose highest aspiration only reach the same object, should yet have their eyes peeled, or why the ladies of tha Excalapian aie ehould also have besn furvishod as weil as thew crowing companions. I cannot consent to call any man_candid who sees fit to admit the phenomena of Thaies’ ob- servation Bs things koomn, while he judges it night to set iside the clearest statements of the great Jewisl hl:glver aud friend of God as mat- ters of aoubtful authouticity, eimply becauso the ficAd of Mosee’ observation 18 a diferent one from bis osn. We could insist on this eves if the iotmacy of Moses with Jebovah were stricly " private, and teshiied to by his single word; but_ now we may do it wth greater emphasis since the wit- Desses to it were more numerons than would be reckoned atall necessary to eatablish the fact of a transit of Venns on a certain day, or of theap- pearance of axew star, Fortunately for tue truch the namter of men, who intslligently ac- cept the wordsof the prophets and martyns of relirion is evea greater than that of those who understandingly receive the tenets of the Dat- ural philosomer. Nor is it less easy to contine tkese woids oy the personal expertence of active, thoughttul nen stili Living thaa it ia to corrobor- ata by oxperiments msae by men of equslly trustworthy character ths scientific formuls of any of thegreat men of the past. Of all the maltitadeof men who baye of Iate given their ad- hesion towhat are for the preseut teraed the teachingsof science, nimety-nine in & handrsd take thei: tactssnd tbeir reasoning too atsecond baod. Buifortheir confidencein huinan testimony, that which they 8o mach afecs to deepise when spplied fo besrt experience, they could have no groend whatever for their conviction. How glorious the changes to the Christian to turn frem the perpiexing questions which sep- arate, ol religious meu from ecientific meo, but scienlitic men from each other, aud fall back on thie institutions vhich we have cuncerning God, conceroing the gilt of ain, concerning the obli- gation of men to love sad not to hate one- another. Wil 10y one staltify himself by deny- ing toat there Are righteous men in the world, who will denyshemselves aud make loving £ac- rifices for ths 200d of $hcir fellow-mes, aod sonoy the Doctor by pertinacionsly following him up with eriticiems, snce he is about the last one of our Chicago clergy whose preaching ought to excite criticism. It is neceerary, however, in justics to myself, to call attention to the error that the talented gentleman hizs fallen into in regard to my aile- gations. In the quotations he takes from my article, the reader would infer, and Dr. Fallows would himeelt inadvortently I presume, infer that I had alleged, tha: the religious principle, or religion itself, is a product of intellectual cul- tare, and that the opposite ides to this was so uusphilosophical that only the emphams of the clergy could cause it to prevail Talung this con- struction of this part of my argument, he there- upon shrewdly attacis this onme point only, and marshals against it s formidable array of authorities, none of which, he assures us, are clergymen, and all of whom testify in coutra- diction to the assertion attributed to me. Now ic was not 1 such & sense that I used the word “religion” in the senteuce quoted. 1 used it as referring to a sysiemstized religion, witn & creed, 3 theology. and a astem of wor- ship, and none of the authorities given militate against my position in the least. 1 agree with them entirely. Had Dr. Fallows not omitted the sentence which stood botween the two he quoted i'gm me, this would have been spparent. It was 8 2 ] 2 + Some of_ the greatest philosophers and thinkers have clearly demmonstrated that religions are the production of stages of enlightenment, s are modified by the temperament of the races that embraco them. They are the result of enlightenment, not ita cause. Then follows what I said asto the canse of the opposite ides being prevalent, and which Dr. Fallows quotes, I do not deny, but empliat- ically assert, that the religions 1ustinct shows itself prominently in the infancy of races and amoog peoplos the most barbarous. That sav- ages mate crude efforta at worship of supernat- urat bewngs, ana that this-relfgions elcment is & mighty motor tn human life. Whle the people are savage, however, this foeling does not ac- quire » ‘systemization which we call a religion. ' requires a cartain stage of intellectual devel- opment before tbe abler minds seize upun 1t, and organize uunder it a ceremoual of divine worship, & code of belef, and s priesthood claiming pearer relations with Deity than the rest of men. That all religions are of benefit in the infancy of nations, and for s long time thercafter, 18 probably true. ‘Thev help to barden a tribe into a pation, and establish the domunion of order and law. But it is nevertheless apparent to us all that apeople at_times outgrow the form of faith to which they have beeu long accustomed, and a pew religion, or radical modincation of the old one, becomes sccoptable and ncceasary, As the mental development of a people begins to come in conflict with its religions canons, a struggle begins.’ The defenders of the old faith succeed, perhaps for centuries, keeping back the inroads of thought, but at lnst the ground eweil comes with irresistible imgulse, and the old religion has to reform its creods, or go to the cemetery of defunct super- stitious, Sea how the monotheism of Moses for many a ceotury satisfied that truculent Jewish race, with its bloody worship of a revenge- tul, jealons God, who, like a pirate chieftan, would lead them over the earth to rob and butcher its innocent people. Not a glimpse ip that religion of any hereaite: of any immortality to man. Faintly on the 100 of sowe of the prophels flashed tha vision of some life beyoud the grave ; but not till al- most the time of Christ did a party arige in the Jewieh Church who esserted the immoriality of the soul. Long and bitter waa the opposition to the new ides, nor bad it ended at the time of Jesus. ‘The powerful eect of the Sadducees stilt fought for the old faith, with no resurrcction of the dead. Was 1t not virtually a new religion that the Phar- ises thus adopted when they introduced this guoat ides of immortaliry into the Mogaic creed ? ‘And was it not the intellectual development of those conturies that brought those people up to the conception of thatidea? \ When Jesus announced His mild religion of i the Fatherhood of God, and brotnerhood of man,” the chief obstacle to 1t uuiverssl reception _ was that the Pecplo had not reached A stage o culture awhere they could appreciate so exalted, so pure, 80 simple & faith. It has never vet found s peo- ple who are sutiiciently advaocea in calture to adopt 1t, and it ay be centuries still to come before it will. The Jewish religion has, however, made great changes 1n ita creed and ritual, noder the 1u- fluence of intellectnal sdvancement, and little e @hicann Duilp Tribane, NUMBER 349; bloody perses,ation.

Hupisras, ey THE PERMANENCY OF MOODY’S WORK. LETTER FROX JOHN V. FARWELL. The New York Independent has the following lotter from J. V. Facwell, giving his ideas of the permsnency of Mr. Moody’s work, and continu- ing his former letters on the character of the work going on in Great Britamn : In s previous letter I gave impressions made by what was then occurring under the immediato agency of meetings at that tims being held in Loudon. Some portion of American and English writers upon this movemeut havo held that it was & musiroom growth, coming np out of the rank soil of ignorance and su- perstiuon, which time would scon deposit with the forgotten things of the past, I have now gooe over the ground in detail, to see what is left of ihe evi- dences of this awakening, that will controvert sucn 1deas in regard to what i concelved by some of the bast minds on both sides of the ocean to be a great fact in'the history of the Caristian religion, which 18 a8 im- pertatable ol it Aihorc. © Noue but men who are entirely ignorant of Scotch and English coacacter of the present day, or who are willfaliy dotermuned to misrcpresent the frath, can. for a moment 8o interpre: the immense gath- orings that still throng to hear thess evan- golists, sod the many buildings erected in England and Scotland within the Laat year for the usa of the concentrated forces of all denominations who have unfied in this wovement, These buildiugs wull be occugied by young men and othors who are banded togetner o contlnua the work begun_ by tnese men, These masses are not moved simpiy by curioisty nor ignorance; else why do they continus o come? “L'nese qualities of mind would soon satiate.

They may for s day hinder the progross of truth; but God will deveiop by such agencies as hs chooses the truths of His wonderful gospel of grace, which, like a new Hoaven and a new ezrth, bursis only upon fuith, under sail and going forward, and not upon unbelief, going backward or lying at anchor, 1 find but ohe testimony among ministers who took part in the work where I have been nd with whom I bave conversed, and that is that the evidences of a genulue wock of grace remain to & degres quite be- yond their expectations in the individual cases brought into toe Light of truth. They let their light shiue, showing that it 18 no Moody and Bankey torchlight from waich they have tuken the fire of the faith, Lut from Him who sald “I am the hight of the world.” Taiing light from tho Sun, they are slmply refle:tors, and such are all true human examples of the Christ- life within, Another and by no means the least ind!cation of the power that Lies bahind the agents used is the mo: fear of the Established Church that in somo way or other this revival is to be » standiug, living, powerful, argument aganst its dead forms aud oxclusive prerog- atives. While very many of ita bost mea have taken & great interest in the work, and aided with all their in- Huence, the majori:y have either atood aloof from it or been vpenly opgo-ed.

It is to such & religiou I allude when I deny that Coristianity hss been the csuse of modern European ciwilization, and when I agsert that, on tho other hand, such civilization has ripeaed io spite of its adverse wtigences. The history of religions shows a fact, of which Christiamty furnishes o exception, that strong minds avail themselves of the religions natwe of man, running as it does in daya of ignorance to supersution, and manipulate it to advaoce their own influence and seltish interests. A sac- erdotal class springs up, which arrogates toitself the interpretation of the Divine will, and the dictation of 1el.gious forms and duties.

The Pall-AMall Budget (London) of July 23 makes soms interesting criticisms of Moody's meihods of work, and also pashes a particularly sharp pen at the Times with special referencs to the editorial ancls reprinted in Tax Tamows one week ago. Following are the Budge('s re- marks: The firtation of the Ttmes with Mesara. Moody and Sankey during their stsy in this country Las voen & curious and awusing atudy.
