Let us now pass beyond the antecedent rotubllity and n‘!nmneh the subscyuent fact, The tirst fact which mects ua 18 that the best leaders in the Hebrew and Christian religlon comne tous fn the beauty of the wltest learniog their tines could bestow, Moses, who led the old regiure, and Paul, who led the new, came futo religion not from the land of simplu on- thuslwsm, but from the widest colture the earth then possessed—>Moses bearing the wisdom of Egyvt guthered up in court 1ife In pulmv days Puul laden with the learning and cleganco “of tho classics. In these unrivaled leaders fzno- rance pluyed no part. They did not lean upon n sudden conversion alobe, did not expect miracle to cunfer-upon themn mental power and wide inforiation, but they came importing Intu relligion the riches of thelr own studles and wnental resources. The Hebrew religion may the language, and scicnce, him. Inanlgnorant age lie pra in an era of Iurnlnfi he pra amid the cternal Tawa, and says, Thy will he done. Each altar Is influenced by the light of liberty, snd education, and poctry, as well asby tho beam of light diyine. When ‘man bows in rrnyer. all the world repaira_ with him to the holy place. The puetry of a ereat era hielps i see heaven's belul‘; the learninit of a great aga helps him muessure heaven's worth. 'As Cnristianity had shuwn her dependence upon the other clements of clvtlization when s asked tne Roman and Greek fizures to take lier hand, so alterward fn the great awak- ening of the sizterntts ventury, ahic invoked carthly, humap akl. She waited' for a new awnkening of intellectual life. The art of printing had sprung up in Genmany fifty years Lefore Luth thie magnetic needle had been discovered und adupted, and a pew world Lad made the European heart beat quicklvi gun- vowder had come to batter down feudalism and make comnunitics out of Lhose who had Ilved in castlea; Dante pad sung In Italiun and Chaucer In Enclishi universitios bad sprung up, in a single ono of which there wero sometimes ten thousand students aelving into the lore and besuly of the loug- burled antiquily; iousie, oo, had come to jolu with poctry and the other arts m checring aud arousing mankind. Here Luther sppeared not aroused by the Evangel alune but by gen- eral tumult,” the morning song of a waking world, And it was the waking world too that heard thio song, That gitted pertod which Is calied the age of Ellzabeth was just sending forth its morniog light when Luther was pass- ing away. 'Thus, follow the career of Christianity and you will find that it has nlwnys sought the help uf every form of human Industry and truth nnd aska relcase from nothing except ein, :\l] olsc are not merely its fricnds but its helpful companlons. The ‘telescope which flnds the fixed stars helps the Gospels teach us the great- ness of God; aud the paiptings andmuslc which detaln the soul, and thespring-timo which comes in beauty to the cultitred mind, help theheart to long for immortality and to find on snothershore the beautiful things we must leave behind us hore, The statesman, and the legislator, the Judge, help rellgion, for they turn tho Intel- lect toward law, and aid the pubitle to pass from numan to divive statutes, Each happy home, fut) of mutual love, be it on the old Euphrates or Tiber, or he it on the Rhine or Hudson, helps engonder the hope that bevoud the grave there will be homes for ail thoso luying ones that are scattered by that flnal wintry wind. As the littlo streams ineot and farm one river, and s un river upbralds fta tributarics for coming from somu other mountain than Its own, but accepts cheerfully the kindred water, come it from Alp or Appeniue, so Chris. tlanity recelves joyfully the ‘streams that flow toward ts vale, and cares nothing whether desired Lo reach the mues of the people, who could not be taxed in lmnnncrdnnropmdmuw to their means, * He would glve another $100. All should do what they could—make sacrifices. Ladics should take the dlamonds from thele nnizuu and out uf their ears, as the Iaraclites of uld bl with their jowels, and lay thew heforo the Lord.
