It meeds to be scen that its divine spirlt and the clear holy light that runs through it comotous in auclent writinga of Iistory, poatry, proverbs, etc., which, as far as thelr ~ literary ~character gues, aro simpl Jike other writings of tho ancient - world. The Biblo Is really not a book but a literaturs, o rather what Is Jeft of tlie wholeancient litera- ture of the [lebrew Pewilc. It 1s the produc- tion of writers who lived at various times through the louF epace of above n thousand ears. Tho suthorship of manyof the hooks 18 uite nncertain, The autborstip of many of” hose fs absolutely uuknown., It was not till alter wost of these writivgs had been existence for centuries that they wero collected togother. Iv was after thelr long captivily that tho Jews Jegau to feel that thers was something very precious In all the books which remnained fronm tlielr old Iiterature, and 8o gathered thom into one collectlon. And gradually the veneration for them Increased, il thoy” were regarded 128 the sacred testimonies of thele past. Andver) sacred testimoniesare,—~but “Inearthly vessels —some of them even very carthy. Let this true sccount of them be clearly kept fo view, and ' then men witl not be troubled by the Imperfec- tlons they find, They will value the treasure and not be in donger'of casting {t away because of the flawa in tho vessels, Thelr lnflwerlcutlona will scemn trifles, nay even ndditional tokens of genulne antiquity; while the beauty, the moral grandeur, the solomn old-world testimony to religion, the unequaled revealing of diving things which wo find all through them will mmfi out all the_more cousglcuously. Never, it you read the Bivle like other books, do you Beg how lmmcuum\)l!v 1t cxceln all others | Twill speak first of the licavenliness of the Bivle. Kor I want jt to be clear that I am mot taking up this subject for the sake of weaken- ng the . Bible's . hold on our hearts, buc_fn order to make that.hold moroe sceure, And, fndeed, it 1s upon the fact of such a divine- 1y precious element n it that the whole Interest of the subject depends. If it Is only an ardinar) ‘book, why spend o much troublc upon it It might then take its clances, a8 other books Javotodo, But it s not an ordinary book, 1t {s a0 Imperishoble monument from tho older world of maw's clearer -faith In God, and of (God's greatest work {u inan. Thero is nothing fn thé Yollfrious history of mankind to compare with that religious lifa which ebbed and flowed through that old tahernacle, which glistens in their carlest traditions, which lights up with gleams of undying llght oven thelr rudest nf“l which towers tbove all tho world's other anclen Scriptures and Pealns aud Frophnuc poLIE, ond which culminated in the life and Gospel of JesusChrist.- Taniglnd of all the sacred books of the world’s other velivions: I think there is Mght and tratt in all of them, that they are all tlie outcomo of that same divine spirit which leaves no.race without some light of (fod. Mon- cure Conwuy Las lately Lrought together fn his “Sacred *Anthology somt ‘of the chofeest words from thote various savred books of mmi- Kiud, but therearo noune to compare with the Bible. Thero are uoncto compareeven with the OK Testament; and in the New, that light Which shone even mora elearly Inthe Old, comes to a brightness and intensity, and that not of words ouly, but' of the world’s divinest’ life, which, 08 u fuct, fmitated o new lifeamong man- kind, and ‘stands for ever ns the clearest image und “expression of the splvit and will- and ever- Tnsting truth of God. “Iint wo havothis treasure incarthenvesacls.” Paul's word fs cxactly nrp{:llmblc. Ilo was !rmklug of the best part of that treasurc,—tho Haht which, ho suld, God had enused to shino In u{mn them through Jesus Christ. Ife felt liow divine that light was, but ho felt how little he nnd the others could veproduce it In ita full lmug and power, - And yet there was no one who dn?xruducu it fn such beauty and power as Paul, much more imperfect must have been the result when less clear light was reproduced in stiil more {mperfect natures. That s the simple fact which you have all thrunfih theBible. Men {elt tho insplring presence and teaching of God, The beat ot them n that old Hebrow race felt It with,- often, an aimost swlul clearness and oW Bug {t lert them still men, It duin't nake thelr lives perfects it did not make thelr words infallible. You sco tho heavenly con- annufly. but the carthly clement i3 always ere, Lot me show you what Imean nlittle more ticularly. Look futo the carly chapters of icnesls, for Instance, ‘I'iere you have the ver carlieat traditions of rellgious thought, which had been handea down through countless gon- erutlons, untll they were first” writtun down,— sumo think by Moses, others think much luter than Moses.” You have tho tradition of “Creatlon,’” of “tho Fall," of *the Flood," and g0 forth, Now there {s a heavenly elemunt in these. They show tho carlleat scarchings of Jhuman thought, ullve with tho senso of God3 -and fn theso carlicst Ilebrew thoughts of God there is a groat simpleity, id, for that carly age, wnuble moral carnostuess. Whilo_other Taces wero shaplug. out grotesquo wythologies about these thiugs, accounthng for dlicovents of the world by the' struzgles of {x'\’mrellnz delties sud demi-gods, the fathers of e Hebrew race wero loolking back and out on all thinga In the light of the thought of one Almighity Creator, Who was just snd good, us Jar asthey hod got to_understand justice and ‘:obdnnas.

Some- times there are two or thres different arsditlons] and you many trace whoro the writer placed them together.

The effect of this discovery was that sclentiilc men gave up their theory. ‘Thty sald it was not truc, and they sot them- sclves about the task of looking around for a new theory. > The lecturer then referred to the candor of scfentific men. Prof. Tyndall blmself frankly confeesed there was no proof of inuch of whit ho believed, A sclentific man was spt to say that o man who belleyed fn that of which thero was no proof was a fool, By the same analoey Tyndall was o sclentific “fool, [Laughter There was not one atom of proof of the truth ol the theory of epontaneous generatfon, but sci- entific mén were not daunted by this in thelr labors. They would spare no palos to get at truth, Tbe labors of. such mcn were luvalu- able, and they were very little fnferfor to the martyrs of the Christinn Church, [Applauge.] If it was worth while for God .to make the uni- verse, purely it 18_worth man's while mnludl its wondera | Theéro was nothing In | too small’ for’ " tho scentist o In- vestigate.

"The discoverics of sclonce had unques- tionably clevated man's conception of God, The idea that the blue heavens were only a little above the carth, and that the stara were little pecp-holes throupgh which the nngels Jooked down upon earth, was a beautiful, o poetical lden‘ but how much grander n conception of God’s preatness bad been revealed to inan by science! {Applause.] ‘The Jeeturer then referred in detafl to the theory of evolution, and pointed out its weak- ness as accounting for tho existenco of man, made tn God’s Image. e referred to the well- known objections'to the theory, the incom- pletencas of the connecting links” between dif- ferent distinct specles, aud cven divisions of specles. e then proceeded to show that in the pursuit of sclentific truth, {f men dld wot dls~ caver what they snnlzm. they conferred .nevor- theless o great benetlt on tho human race.

The pur- Buit of sclontife truths stimulated thonght, and who wasafraid of that? If tho truth should u&pcnr to confllet with God’s Word, God’s Word would goon accommodate ltselt 1o the trath. Put truth ‘conld not conflict with God's Word, however much it may couflict with mon's lmcrpmlntlnn of it. [Applauge.] The’ English verslon of the Bible was dear toall.

The interpretationof the Hebrotr word rankeang was * firmament," and {t conveyed.the idea of density, quite in ac- cordance with the setentific notions of the time. But what a light had scienco -thrown on man's idens of the heavens, and how truly had ft in- terpreted tho true mcanln;; of tho old fle- brew ' word which meant ¥ expanse.’ mEAp-' plause.] That was ono way in which modern Acienco helped man to correct a misrepresenta~ tion of God's Word. The learned lecturer con- cluded with an eloquent peroration on the har- mony of trueaclence and tho revealed Word of God. Belence and religion could never bo dis- solved, They were counterpart to each other, and not opposed any taore than was the right hand to tholeft, Tho theologlans grasped the word of truth, and the scientist the truth ns re- vealed In God's works, Tn thelr several ways thoy both did_good, and servod the great pur- poscs of the Creator, MISCELLANEOUS, TASTORAL.

At a rough estimate 8,000 tonsof waste rock are lMfted 2,000 feet dally, and the water hasto be pnmped 1nto a system of cistorns 200 fcet apart, at enor- mous labor und expensc. The tunnel was pro- ccted by Adolf Sutro, & German engineer, aud gins {0 the Carson Valley, four miles east of the lode, which it is futended to plerce at o depth ol 2,000 fect. It has now been driven over 16.000 feet Into the mountain, and {8 progressing at the rate of about eighty feet per week. Four perpendicular suafts were started, at equal distances zlong the route, {rom the surface, to meet the main tunnel. The workings from tlic first sbaft and the entrance met about threc yearsngo. The second shaft cencountered a by zu( water, which burat out 80 suddenly that the workmen were obliged to fice for thelr lives, and tho shatt became & well, ‘The maln tunnel reached this shaft {n 1875, and drained the water, The third shaft was also drowned out, and the fourth hss not resched the level of the tunnel, The headwsy which Is made {s unexampled In the history of engineer- ing, owing partly to the firm nature of the rock, and the question of its completivn s onlya atter of ashort time. A ganglion of tunnels will follow the veins in sl dircctions, and the water will draln itself Into the Carson River, while the ore and waste rock will be ensily run out on the horizontal raflroad. —— How Ben I Looks, [Tashngton Corrsspondence Cleveland Herald.
