Fitts. - The confession bore what par- ported tobe the signature of a lawyer named Jobnes. Stephan rushed to the” Sheriff's oficc to find out what the mnotice meant. fle did not owe auvbody, and could not conceive how Payne Fitts nelda Judement agatust bim. Hehad retained Fitts as counsel in a divorce cuase, promising to pay lim $23 if he were successful. Payue let the caso-o by default. Stephan did not know Whetlier be had sizued a_conditional note for that amount ornot. Johnes pronounced the siguature purporting to be his a forgery, and on a represeatation of the facts the Court set aside the judzauent. It is now in order for Payne Fitts to explain huw he became a creditor 1othe extent of %227 acninst tue property of ¥tephan, and who forged Johnes' signature. In_some mystcrious way the management of the Jowrnal, which is understood to be an cven- ing paper published in this city, became pos- sessed of an fdea that there had lately been an clection. Elections call for illumfuations, flags, banners, and the like, and the *old reliable ™ resolved to do the correct thing. Accordmgly they borrowed a big ladder, and devoted vester- day to adornfug the front of their prémises. ‘Tuis morning the portraits of President Hayes and and Vice- ident Wheecler—the former 8 bad counterfcit of the Journal panarer—look out upon Drarborn itrect from bowersof evergreens, while around. 1bove, and beneath them the starry fla wuves in the wingd.

It is indeed strange.” 4 PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE LECTCRER. It ie casy enough to make men leave off drinking if 'you only ro about it the right way. For instance, the other day a well-meaning but nureasoning apostle of temperance weut into a heer-saloon st noon when there were seven- teen customers taking sometbinz, and went irom one to the other, dictributing tracts and arruing with them. and he was rudely treated by every one except the scventeenth, who Jistened 1o him respectfully, and asked him to bave something. " He went out and la- mented his {ll-success in the hearing of several Zentlemen, one of whom said: “Iain’t much of 2 John B. Gough myselt, but Fll mo azht juio that stronghold of Satan and make every man there leave ofl drinkine. o the nght way to work, sonny.” So he cotered the saloon and_ calied lone iwer. It was brought, and with a ing smile be drank off a mombfal, then spit it out aadexclaimed, “Great sloses!

It looks more like a garter-snake or o boa-constrictor.” The cffect was instantaneons. All seventeen of ‘the cuests set down their mugs with more or less Laste and went out to see if there was a solar eclipse, and the barkeeper hiwas so much pleased at this novel and successful ‘pmcm‘xl joke that he never asked the apostle of temperance for a cent, hut caught up 2 club and chased him three blocks before his wind gave out, and he relact- autly abandoned the pursuit. DAPTIZED IN THE CHURCH. The Sixth Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev. H. T. Miller is pastor, was crowded yes- terday morning, the occasion heing the baptism of o arge number of persons of both sexes. After the usual_opening exercises of prayer, singing, and reading the Scriptures, the minister read a list of thirty-four persons who had heen received by letter and of sixty-four who had been received by confession of faith since the last communion, two months azo. For the two months before that time, eizhty-four had been received, making a total accession to the church of 176 in four months. The rite of baptism was then administered to twentv-five {u.-rsons (of whom nineteen were upwards of 16 vears of age) according to the usual forms of the Pres- byterian Church. The ceremonies were sinple Lut impressive. The pastor, afterreadinga text of Scripture, dipped hishandin a chalice of water and spriukling the head of cach candidate as he or shie successively knelt before him repeated the usual formula of baptism. Among those re- ceived thus was one_ little child only about 2 years of age, and an infant about 6 months old. The covenant was then successively read to those received by baptism and by profession of faith, and finally sto the church who received this larze addition to its membership. =~ After some remwarks, the ordinance of the Lord’s Sup- per was administered. The churen, under the charge of its present_minister. is in a very pros- perous condition, and he is doing 4 good work, s the large increase to the membership during his pastorate evidently shows.

THE COUNTY TREASURER, THE INTER-OCEAN,” MR. HAM, AND ME. RENKEL. During the past two or three days it has been currently reported on the street that County- Treasurer Huck had agreed to give the printing of the delinquent-tax-list to the bankrupt Jnter- Ocean, conditioned that that paper should make no opposition to the candidacy of Mr. Henry Kenkel for the oflice of Appruiser of Merchan- dise. Mr. Kenkel was indorsed by prominent citizens for the place, but through sowme hocus- pocusing he did not get it. However, it Is well tolet the parties interested speak for them- selves. Mr. Henry Kenkel was found at his saloon, No. 85 Dearborn strect, a favorite resort of Ger- ‘man politicians and ofice-holders.. He had been 2 candidate for the Appraisership, and was in- dorsed by Peter Schuttler, County-Treasurer Huck, Mr. Leiter, and -- other = gen: tlemen. A pumber of his friends called on Senator Lozan, _wnen the news of the vacancy was first published, and urged that gentlemun to use his influence in behalf of him (Mr. Kenkel). Scuator Logan promised to do wiat he cculd, but said Mr. HKenkel, with a very expressive shrug of the shoulders, **he didn’t seem to have done very mueh.” As to Mr. Ham, that gentleman told Lim (Keukel) that he was not a candidate for the oflice. Frank Gilbert, of the Journal, with- drew in his favor, but there scemed to be some influences at work agninst him. - Did be know what these were? Well, be believed that Logan had thrown his influence for Ham. He thought that the Jnter- Ucean was loading off entirely too many of its editors, and he believed that Senator Logau was in some manner connected with that paper. Mr. Schuttler had written to Mr. Lozan remind- ing him of Mr. Kenkel’s candidacy, and had re- ceived a reply to the effect that he could do nothing in the matter. He (M. Kenkel) had only a few minutes’ conversation with Mr. Schuttler, and did not kuow what the text of the lJetter was. And as to tie /.-0., its course in this matter would not help it with the Repub- lican party. He had always been a good Repub- lican, and was supported for this office by a great many Germans and Americans. Although unwilling apparently to say any- thing very severe about the manner in which he had been treated, Mr. Kenkel showed very plain- Iy :lhat he did not accept the situation pleas- antly. . COUNTY-TREASURER HUCK was interviewed vesterday, and the following conversation took plece: “What arrangem has been made about printieg the delinquent tax-list this year?” “ Unless the bill now betore the Legislature to amend the law on this subject passes, I shall give the printing to the Juter-Ucean.” “Why not to the Jonraal, which had the job last year?” “Well, both papers supported me in my can- vass, and I think it only fair to divide up. The Inter-Ocean people came and asked me for it,and 1 promised it to them.” **Was it made a condition that the Tuter-Ocean shouid support Kenicl for the Appraisership ** Nothny of the kind was ever spoken of at any time. T met Mr. Ham on the strect and he said that e was not an aspirant for the posi- tion, but we did not ment.on the question of the printing. That was decided upon pefore the Appraisership business came up. I have al- ways separated my ofticial position entirely from anything in the shape of nepotism, and 1 hope taat Mr. Kenkel's name will not be con- nected with this matter at all,” “Do you still intend to give the printing to the Jnter-Ocean?” “ Certainly, uniess the law should be altered 50 88 to (o away with the. necessity of publica- tion. The thing is a sinecure tor certain papers all through the Statc, and pavs them well. Pub- Hication in such sheets as the Journal und Inter- Ocean serves nv good purpose whatever, for not oucin fifty of the persons concerned see the natice,” P “ When did Mr. Kenkel start on his can- ass?" ‘It was understood for some time that Mr. Feldkamp had resizned, and aithoush he, as I believe, officially denicd it, yet hé told his friends that he bad forwarded “his resignation. He went into the tobacco business on Jan. 1, and could not retain his official sition. Mr. Kenkel received the indorsement of Field & Leiter and a number of the Lake street mer- chants, inciuding some of theheaviest import- ersin Chicago, and we @id not go near any paper to obtain support. If I had wanted the intluence oi the Juler-Ocean I should have gone .to Nixon, the business manager, who was the for the printing. 1 dow't tion Mr. Ham holds on the man tha asked me even know what p paper. The Juter-Ocean will be pmd what- ever the law allows for the work This year the list will he considerably delayed in preparation owing to the troable we have had with the South ‘Town mutter. The law ought to be changed so as to allow the County Collector to notify cach delinquent by letter ‘or otherwise, and not advertise at all. But the present system makes money for one paper in each county throughout the State.™ ““Then I understand you to say tha’ tbere was no bargain whatever with the £.-0., und that the printing matter and the candidacy of Me. Kenkel are entirely distinct.” “They have no connection whatever, and no bargain of any sort was made with anybody. ~ I hupe you will get this very distinctly stated, as Ldon’t want iny father-in-law’s (Mr. Keukel) name mentioned In any such coonection.” THE COMMUNISTS. THEY INDCLGE IN ANOTHER WELALY IOWL. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock a meeting of Socialists was held in Vorwaerts Turner-Hall, West Twellth street, for the purpose of taking action in regard to placing in the field 2 munie- ipal ticket for the coming election. The at- teudance was quite larze, the hall being nearly filled, mostly with Germans and Bohemians, John Krause called the meeting to order. Her- man Stabie was called upon topreside and John Krause chosen Secretary. Stahle stated the ob- Jectof the gathering in English and German, and then for 2 time subsided. A man named Simmon was the first speaker, andmade anaddress in English. He comnmenced by saving that there was something wrong in our City Guvernment, and that they had to get up something to better the condition oL tne workingmen. Theic condition was getting worse and worse every day. The middle classes werc growing less and less, on account of ruinous taxation. They had to de- vise some meaus for a corree of these evils and the exactions and oppressions of capital, He then went on to ask what was the cause of the hard times, ete., and so many men being out of work. It was not the peopie who governed the country or the City. of Chi- cago, but it was a certain class, who were a small minority of politicians, who were the servauts of the caj itatists. The capitalists were the rulers, uu'Ti the politicians only did their bidding. The middle class were tue opponents of the Socials ists. Theyhoped yet to be capitalists, and they were not_to hate them for it, but to educate them to Socialistic belies. It was not their fault that they were workingmen. And so with the middle classes. The nuddlejelass und workingmen ought to be umited in municipal dlections, and ought o be convinced that the capitalists were ~ raimng them. The rich man refused to pay lis taxes, and they bad finally to be paid by workingmen.jgHe wanted them to come to an agreement to stop tne ruling of the great capitalists. This was roing to be 1 great agitation all over the coun- Ly, and {t was a great question. Tliey had to commence their work in a small way. i Lh eits Cl;)el:}!fll’l'lflh.\' WAS 80 GREAT in Lhe city between the two great parties that small party stood but Iittle show of SUoeess. He thought, however, they could do something in some of the wards. He was op to pul.’- ting up an entire miunicipsl ticket. Me wanted to get 3 Sodallst in the Couacll, so that ithe workinemen ‘would have & representative in thar body.- He tuought it had been of beneflt to the workingmen that they had had 4 representative in the Legislature.. He called the gas-companies soulless monopolies, Which it woald be for.the inturest of the taxpayers to suppress. He went. for the strect-car compa- nies for not reducing fares, and thought that the city should run the lines, and that the city should make and burn its own gas. =~ The tax- collecting laws needed aitering, as the working- men in the end had to pay all the taxes. This meeting was intended as n start_in this move- ment, and. he wanted each man pres- ent toagitate this matter. for reforming our present systems. He thonght that as a party they weré stronger than they were-given credit for. The people had had nothine to do with the nomination of candidates.

A Western paper contains a strange story of a recent attack by Indians of Sitting Bull’s band upon a small body of miners who had been prospecting on Mulehcel Creek. The sav- ages were in considerable numbers, and kept up a galling fire, their movements developing a knowledge of the methods of scientific warfare unusual amone the Sioux, wiich at once gave rise to the suspicion that thev were directed by a renegade white man. Their war-wnoop, tou, was something of a sort entircly novel to the oldest plainsmen in the besiezed part for time after time the savages charzed reck- lessly up to the very muzzles of the rifles, velling: * ** Yoo—yoo—yoo—soo—fruct!' Not ong after this iheir leader, who by his mus- tache and beard was plainly distmiguishable as a white, headed a sort of forlorn hops on the crazy intrenchment, shouting the singular war- whoop with even greater flerceness than nis red companions, when 1 shot from a“miner laid hin low, and the Indians, sceing their chieftain fall, withdrew with a parting volley, and giving tie most lively siznsof rage and despair. The renegade’s wound was plainly mortal, and, as he was a whitc men, the miners concluded to allow him to dic naturally. instead .of dis- patching Qiim as they had done the wound+ ed reds, employing the time. however, in pllyl'nz a =ame of ox-euchre for his scalp, and in selling pools as to whether an In- dian’s scalp or a white man’s came off easiest. The dying man's words and_gestures throagh- out had been those of 2 madman, but as he lost strength and death approached Lim reason reas- serted her sway. aud in a feeble voice he re- counted his history, one of the most singular ever recited, even fn those adventurous rezions. He had, he said, been the son of a respectable farmer in the Nioeteenth Congressional District of Ilinois, and had led o blameless life up to the Centennial year. * Thet is, bovs,” he said, “ purty biamelcss, fur, though I did play iu our brass bang, aud once or twice may have made a speech in the debating society, still perhaps He won't lay it upaginme.” lle took, T an active Democrat in a stroog Degnocratic neish- borhood, a busy part _in the campaign of 157, Between mixing his drinks, zetting mad at the defeat of Hendricks, and the natural heat of the canvass and the weather, he became very much excited, end_when he was fa_this condi- tion out camie Mr. Tilden’s letter of avceptan. Here the dying man’s eyes elittered and with manifest excitement in his voice and manner he went on: “There was one word in that there epistle— ¢usuiruct’—that knocked the Corners endways and hizher than a Fite. Dad aad ull the old men spelled it out, and tried it backwards, and stood it on its head, snd couldn’t make nothing of it. Us young fellows was kinder careless and_reck- less, and took it up for a camoaign ery, and we'd go round yelling, Three cheers und a usufruet for Sammy!’ But this did not satisfy the earnings of my jmmortal soul, snd I used to funmc my victuals and prowl round the bush, hearing “‘usuiruct’ in the whisper of the leaves and the murmur of the streams. At night T could not sleep, or, if 1 fell mto an uneasy slumber,, I would wake all bathed in aclammy jerspiration with s yell of “nsufruct? ringing in my ears, like the wait of a lost soul. There was blood in my eye. on the moon, everywhsre, and one night I took my trusty meat-ax and killed my tweo- parents, five brotliers and sisters, the hired man, the servant- il the schoolmaster, wiose week boarding round it h us, and our ‘coon-dog, Bull. I tell ye, boys, it cagie hard on me to Kill tiat ‘euon-dog. “Ile wefe the best dog after ’coons I ever sec, expect to see, or want to see, and the meat-ax was trembling in my srasp, but at that moement the tiend whispered *usu- fract,’ and, gritting my teeth tozether, I buried the weapout in his skutl, aud _he howled a hasty howl and died. The weeks that followed are 2 dreadful blank, and when I returned to con- sciousness I was dressed- and painted as an In- dian. From my comredes I learned that T had wandered among tuem, utteriag & rearwul war whoup, new to their people, had been adopted iuto the tribe and made a Cnicf. 1asked toem with a shudder what was that war-cry. They answered, *ustfruct.’ ‘The madness of blood returned to me, and, placing myself at the head of my warriors, 1 blotted ont iu blood an® ashes” three swiling fronticr villages. Of my deeds of blood I cannot bear to speak. why did he ever write that letter of accept- ance?! And yet perbaps it wouldn’t have made any difference—it had to come sooner or later. We murdered two Dutch families down here about turee weeks ago, and wiile the boys were having some fun with one of the old men through the medim i a red-hot wagon-tire, 1 read some dispatches In_a paper they Tound on hjni, all about ‘gobbies, and, ‘galvan- aund * dishwarmers,” -und ¢ hen- houses,’ aad - thin It was Dbound to fetch me, sooner or later, but usu- fruct.” ‘usufract,’ usufruct’”—and howling Lis war-cry he strove to strumzle to his fect, ‘when a torrent of bluod gushed from his mouth and he fell dead. So touched and awed were those rude frontiersmen by this sinzular tale that it was with some relustance tucy Sealped the dead body, and the rough miner who won the pool on tae relative tenacity of scalps un- nounced his intention, it he didw’t have nard luck at draw-poser in the interim, of secking out the dead man’s relatives and giving them the amount, with interess az the legul rate. CRIMAINAL. & Dietrich Berg, only tnrce weeks out of the Penitentiary, was cauzht and locked up in the ‘West Madison Street Station by Officer Gunder- son, having, at the time of his capture, just gone through Sterling’s boarding-house on Lake street for all it was worth. Nettic Blazk, a well-known demirep, was lockea up at the Armory yesterday by Officer Londergan, charged with larceny of $27 from Mrs. Mina Killmer, of No. 285 Clark street.

What the Latter Will Do for the Former Religiously. The Primeval Man Driven by His Sur- roundings into Superstition. All Mysteries Dissolve to Reappear in One Unfathomable Mystery. Praying for a Reversal of Natural Re- sults a Return to the Dark Ages. Interesting Lecture Yesterday After- noon by Prof. Gunning. Prof. William D. Gunning delivered the last of his series of six lectures on ‘‘S:ience and Man” at Hershey Music Hall jesterday after- noon. The subject discussed yesterday, * What Sclence Will Do for Man Religiously,” was the~most interesting of the serics, and was listened to with much attention and signs of approval by s majority of thosc present. There were, however, a few who gave unmistakable signs that the peculiar ideas of the Professor in regard to religions ceremonies and observances did not agree with them, and one or iwo left the hall. In commencing, the speaker qunt!d ero’s saying that man is the horizon-line where the woria of matter blends with the world of spirit, and then went on to say that the animal is of arth alone, carthy. It stands so faron the ther side of the line that no echo of the be- yond ever falls on its car, no ray from the be- yond ever illuminates its eye. No qualm of conscience disturbs thebeetle or the opossum for lying. No compunction ruffles the sercnity of ababoon whe:d he steals, or 2 wolf when his jows are red with the blood of a lamb. The dreadful word ** ought " is nowhere syllabled - in the animal mind, for it {s at peace with mat- ter. In man the spirit is at war with the fesh. So Nature scems at war with both members and mind. The sun scems to rise from his bed in the cast, to climb a solid_vault of blue to the zenith, and then to slide aslong the arch to another bed in the west. The earth secms to be flat and the heaven vaulted. The earth secms to be fixed and the sun und stars vagrant. Thus Nature deceives the dawning thougits of man, and blood must flow and pangs of dissolving faith be endured before .they will learn that things are not what they scem. If the report which Nature gave to the outward senses de- ceived their infunt. thonghts, how much more should rays from the Unseen, shining dimly on the inward scnse, deceive and lead astray. ~ All things scem to have conspired to lcad the primeval man into superstition. _As the body was tattooed, 50 was the mind. ~ Was there any l.cllp! Is there .any help? Says Macaulay: “Tuere are branches of knowledge with respect to which the law of the human mind i3 progress. With theology the case s differcut. As to the great question. ¢ What becomes of human souls after death?’ we do not sec that an educated European is more likely to be In the right than a Blackfoot Indinn. "All the great enigmas vhich perplex the natural theotogian are the same in all the ages. The ingenwity of a peo- ple just emergine trom barbarism is enough to propose them: the genius of Locke is unable to solve them. The Book of Job shows that long before letters and arts were known in [onia these questions were debated with no common skill.. Nor has human_reason in the course of 8,000 years discovered any satisfactory solu- tion of the riddles waich perplexed Eliplay and Gophar. Sir Toomas More was 2 mau of ewmi- nent talent. The text, ‘ This is My body,’ was in is Testament as it is in ours. We are unable to understand why what Sir Thomus More be- lieved respecting the real presence may not be believed to the end of time by mea equal in ability aud honesty to Sir Thomas More.” ‘Wuat 1s this which the greatest and best of the race may believe to the end of time? It is that a little flour and water, made into a paste and uplifted 1n a chiasuble by a priest, became the very God that fashioned the universe. Fatber Chiniquy tells us that once when he was to celebrate Mass the paste which he was to transform into God had been stolen and caten by rats! Great and good wen, to believe to the cod of time in a God who caunot protect bumself ugainst rats! No, Macaulay spoke in _the nameof letters, and nis ery was that of despair. We are herce to-day to speak in au humble way in the name ot Science, and our voive is one of hope. It we uunlyze the relizious sentiment, we find that it springs frum two roots,—the one a be- hef ina Superior Beiug, and the other a belief ir a life beyond death. To form a rational con- clusion as the future of these beliefs, we must trace history oi their evoiution. An animai knows nothing of the sentiment of wonder. [t understunds cnoush of whatcever lies around it to serve its needs. As to that waich lies beyond,_ it gives itself no coneern. Australia is ulled witi nocturnal bowlers, but not one has ever cast an eye of wouder on the nocturual Heaven. The gern of 1eligion is not in the animal. Onaly the germ is in the man who has risen but little above the animal. There are tribes that lvoi on the olorics of the night- heaven witih the same iaditference as on the saud below their feet. But man in his better estate is an upward looker. The Greex called him Anthiopus—he of tae upturne ¢ on the Heay he wondered. Woude: becomes worship, amd sun-worship, Muller bas said, was vitable. 1t was like a deep furrow which the great luminary drew in ent procession trom cast to west through the virzin winds of the gazing multitude. But tais sentiment fastzned orten on things low and sensual. Tae mystery o1 reproduction —how the mmnd of the cluld-inan has broolel over that fow ull primitive religi. vitiated by its sympolism! ‘The my. vorship. saw the spring of the taer and tio derstood it. The tiger,” he d, ** goes like elf on legs, the fish goes en fins, the bivd on . Bat there is the serpent, it goes, and has neituer legs, nor tias, nor wings. MERE 13 A MYSTERY. There must be a something I cnonot see—a spirit. The serpent shall be to me as a god.” Scme one has sad that language is a dictionary of faded metaphors. I would suy thut symiol- isin is a dictiosary ol faded religions. If Sclomon’s Temple were restored betore your eyes you would tind 1t a yreat Unabridged Dictionary. A little_study would reveal its meaning.” You would see on the great altar four horns, like the orns of a bull. You would See an attempt o represent the ocean in brass, and this brazen_sea you would find resting on wwelve oxea. What is the m f In our times, it we want to recail New England as it was 200 years ago, we go to suine outlying bill- town or to Black Island. And if we want to understand the meaning of this symbolism in Jderusulem, we make 2 journey to Dan. In e found Jarch worshiped throngh tae symbolisn o a bull. Tu Dan we find him ull. Now we have found that ol mystery, exeiting the sentiment of Wwonder, is at the rout of tue Godadea. Mys- terious 1o the child-man was the sum, and the genesis of a mew hbeing and the progression of a serpent, and any unusual appearance or. thing. = Sun-worship, phallic-worship, serpent-worship were fnesita- ble. Incvitabie, too, was the worship of & white bull and a waite elephant. We hase tried to show you that nature does not favor white, and that tue ocenrrence of @ purely white animal in 2 state of nature is rare. Tue white animal ghe- ing rare was mysterious. By the same law that mudea god from a sun or a’suake, the rure and mysterious auimal will become a god. The winte cow is a god in Burnah; the white cle- phant was a god m India, and the white man is something like a god, is supernaturat, in Airica. Evolution does not proceed along a single line. Tue sentiments fuvolved in the evolution of the idea of a God arc ample. The idea of power Zot possessivn of the Jewish mind, that of beauty the mind of the Greek, while there crept into tne'mind of the Egyptian the myatery of sliminess. To the Athenian mind the gods came to be personifications of the forces of Nature. Pytha- gorus could say: “ Above the gods I know nuth- e at all.” At last there came to be an altar to the * Unkown Godl.”’. In the Indian mind the gods came to be re- garded, not as persouttications, but as persons. W Yy gods, for tae Jews were no more mono- theistic than the Greeks. Jareh speaks from Sin: “ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Japhthia says to the Ammonites: * Wilt Dok thou possess the land which Chemosh, thy god, hath given thee?” Jarchis sung tna He- brew psajm as a ** great King over all the other goda.™ At first he'was a kind of man, with all the limitations of a man, fizkle of purpose. He created man, and_then repented. He was lim- ited as to knowledge. ife had Leard unfavora- ble news about Sodom 2nd Gomorrah, and came down .to_see sbout it. He was limited as to pover. He conld overcome men in wooden chariots, but had to retreat before men in iron chariots. Thus was the early stages of Jewish theolozy choracterized. As the mind grew so*, grew the conceptions of daty. ¥ In the eighteenth chapter of the Second sengers to be o “lying spirit” to ‘tempt_Ahab to his death.. Then in the Fifty-first Psalm, we "read, “For thou desired truth in the in- ward parts.” If we had sufiicient data un- questionably we should find similar growth in in - the thelstic conceptions of other races. The Hindoo mind did mnot reach by 2 single bound this conception’ ‘nttered- in onc ot its Vedic hymns, ““The sky and the sea are Varuna's loins. Heis also contained fu a drop of water.” E ‘Thus sksetch has shown the law under which the jdea of a God has been evolved. The root of the idea is ‘mystery. Assoon as the human mind woke from’ the slumber of animalism and tried to measure its powers against the vastness of the universe, gods were inevitable. The mind aid not attempt atfirst to traverse the higher realms of mystery. The night-heaven is not an object of wonder to the lowest savage, because it is not an object of thought. How the wili controls the muscles and moves the arm s not an object of wonder to any savage, for to no savage-ming can it become an object of thought. But mind on the lowest plane called human, takes note of the ser- pent, wonders about its limbless progres- sion, and wondering, worships. Science comes, and shows that the snake walks by means of its ribs. and the demoustration roba the snake of its godhood. Science shows how white bulls and elephants happen to be rare, and banishes the bull and_the elepbant from the pantheon. Science, with her spectroscope, shows what the sun is made of, and temples bailt to the sun topple over. She isa mighty slayer of gods, but nota universal destroyer. As she lays her hand on the wind, on the tide, on heat, on light, on lightning, she finds that each separate force is a manifestation of one universal force. As sne pushes her domain throuza the realms of Nature and life, flashi her lamp of law on mystery after mystery, e separate mystery dissolves to reappear in one UNIVERSAL, UNPATHOMABLE MYSTERY. Before that unkuown and unkoownable we bow the heart. If we sav “it.”” we exclude the idea of personality. If we say “him,” we so far define the undefinable as to make it a per- son, and there may be modes of being which transcend personality. If we say **Jove, Joveh, Elohim, Lord, or God,” we merely project the word against an iofinite backeground of mystery. The ‘mind rof the savage com- passes but a speck of the universe, and all without is wonder-land and God-land. The mind of LaPlace encompasses so much as to see thata ercater mind, encompassing all, could write in one formula the scheme of the universe,—the highest conception to which the ming can attain. To the mind holding this con- ception there would be no place for gods, and there would be no place for one localized God. Ls Place could not "have said what Mr. Mood; says: ‘“You tell me God is everywhere, | teil you ’tain’t so; He’s there.”” ~ The God of La Place could not be the immense shadow of a man_projected ona background of the un: known. We doubt whetlier La Place would have conceived of the power outworking through his formula either as personal or im- personal. His mind might have striven to utter the unutterable in tke words of the Hindoo, “The sky and the ses are Varuna's loins.” That satisfies the idea of personality. He is also vontained in a drop of water.” "This satis- fies the idea of impersonality. What relation does man sustain to God? The pious will try to please God by gifts and by as- similating themselves to His image. The speaker described the attempts of atribe in Africa, whose god is a cow, to make them- selves like their god, and the attempts of another tribe whose god is a pecullar kind of bird to make themselves like thelr god. Re- ligion in its early stages fs a religion of self- mutilation and giits, 'The Athenians barzained with Apollo tnat if he would help themtoa victory they would slay as many kids for him as he would help them to slay men. Solomon at the dedication of his temple slew 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep for God. He turned Palestine futo a vast slaughter-house, and stained its 8oil with blood and polluted its air with the stench of burning flesh to please Jareb. It was a long step in the way of progress when invocation took the place of immolation. If God canaot ne moved by eifts, perhaps His purpose can be hent by praver. Wt does Se- ence say to this! She says that if a2 man breathes an aspiration that he may become . more pure, more just, more mereiful, if lus strivinz is commensurate with his aspiration, he will become msore pare, more just, more mer- ciful. She says that every force moves alone its own line. 1nthe formula of tue universe imag- ined by La Place the sinking of a missionary ship or the ‘?lungc of a railwvay train down a dark am ity chasm at Ashtabula would be wrought out with the same coldness of mathematical precizsion as the growthof an ouk from an acorn. In the equation of oak-growth, will would not have ap- peared as a factor. Thé speaker aualyzed cer- taiu forms of petition, and showed that they as- sumed a universe without law, without order, without scquence. If the secds of pestilence are in the air, it is a reversion to dark sge super- stition tofizht them with prayer. If grasshop- pers are eating up the subsiance of a State, and: the Governor of Missouri appointsa dav of fast- ing and prayer to pray them into Kansas, it is the surviyai of a moakish rite of a darzer aze. The speaker skeiched the evolution of the belief in an after-life, and dismissed most of the assumptions on which it restsas unteuable in the court of Science. IHe discussed the bearing of the mest recent discoveries in the persistence of force ou the doctrine of an after-life, and thought that they removed the most serious ob- jections which Science had urged azainst the doctrine. Still it was not demonstrated, and he thonzht it might never be. This -is well. It would be a sad thing for the development of human character to live in & universe only of mathe- matical problems, demonstrated and demon- strable. There is an unkaownand unknowable. The air of that realm, too tenuous for the lungs of Scienze, may support the wings of faith. Faith, hope, trust—these words would dwell on human lips as lonz as human hearts Dleed over their dead, as lonsas human feet in de- vious piigrinage press the bigaways of the | globve. THE TURF.
