Th a speech yesterday at Wexford he devoted his tittention to Mr, Gladstone, characterlaing Aim as the greatest everclonist and tho most unrivaled standerer of Ireland—one who had maligned the Lrish peopte, and for whom no inisrepresentation was too low or too menu tostoopte.

For ex- ampie, the Cameron influence was well understood to be thrown against the revlection of Senator Jolin Scott, who was (lofented by Wallace, Democrat, the ob- ject of this move being to secure to the fam- patronage. Mr. Wolfe says that he himself, though nominated for tho Legislature by 2 vote of three to one In 1378, was opposed by the Cameron influence, Senator Cameron himsulf admitted that “he had thrown all his Influence and Instructed all his followers to put forth, as they did actively and openly, every effort to compass Wolfe’s defeat and elect his Domocraticcompetitor.” Afterthis Wolfe may be excused ‘for a little party in- fidelity, Ilo has an iMlustrious example to follow, ‘Tur swearlng in of a Senntor before a President hos been chosen Is not an wncomn- mon practice, Indeed, itis the usual mode of procedure when tho Senate is without a President and desires to choose to that office one who Is just beginning a new .term, and consequently [3 required to be sworn fn afresh, ‘The correspondent of a New York papor cites the precedents thus: March 4, 1841, Mr, King, of Ainbama, was sworn in us Senator before any Prealdent of the Sennte had boon chosen, and Me.

THOMAS’ THEORY OF THE ‘ATONE. MENT, ‘The trint of Dr. Thomas before a commil- tee of the Methodist Conference at Sycamore hhns ralsed some doctrinal questions of inter- est to the denominational public, and among others that which relates to the true theory of tho atonement, Dr. Thomas is aceused by certain of his clerical brethren with belley- ing that “tho atonement was to reconaile man to God, wot God to. man.’ We do not know how important a difference this may be In tho Methodist theelogy. From tho ex- naudnation of Dr. Thoms on his nileged: heresles we make this extract. Question to Dr. Thomas: “Did you say at a proachors’ meoting that Chri ed tu reconolle mun te Gud, not God to man: “1 asked Dr, Rannister if tho Scriptures nny~ where tuught that the death of Curlat was to reconcite God to man.” “What did De, Bannister say to that?” Objevted to. “Vaid not inyself express any opinion on tha subject. Lalmply naked that question,” Tho Rey, J. M. Caldwell was called and placed on the stand In rebuttal of the defend- ant, Question by Dr, Parkhurst: “Dr, Caldwoll, will you tell tho court why you ro du positive in your testimony on the words, ‘The utanemunt wits ta recouelle man to God, t Gort to min’ Because the dlacussion awakened popular Interest ou the subject of the utongment, and) prevched on the subject the next Sabbath, and haye my manuscript etl, wad in my yermon L referred to that form of expression Without res ferring tothe man, explaining wherein I thougot it was teretical.” It will strike the averngo layman, perliaps, that the quality of heresy Involved In draw- tag such a distinction ts ng sufiiclently awful to Justify trial and expiisidn. 1 wore were. no other ground of prosecution than this against Dr, Thomas, the trial would ba ean sidered by many as fneonsequential, ‘There would be no more morit In It tn fn the dia lectle svholasticlan af the Middle Ages or the endless disputes of the Homoustans and the Homoistans, whether the Son was of the snine essence of the Father, or whether Ne was slmilar, but not Identient within Yhin— quvatlons which racked, and wliiost wreeked, the Church of the sariier centuries, ‘Tho whole difersnes between Dr, Thomas and his proseentors on thls potnt may be merely one of words, Ho may hava an on- tirely distiict conception of the idea af * rec- ouviliation ? from that which Nis proseeut- ors onteriain, “lo reconells ” means sim ply “to briug tozetyor again” after estrange ment, Striely speaking, there can bo no separate reconcitution of one person, TY ts, hot an independent act, but a mutual fnter- change of feeling between two or more per song, ence the diserlimination between “seconciling God to man and refonciling man to God” ts really a digtluetion without a differenee, A suficlent dotense of Dr. ‘Thomas could bo made on this ground, If on no other, P But this would be, after ali, a technical de 4 ‘Thorns alan and thiatics shalt ft Oring forth to semiment argued and upheld in its broadest sense. Supposing the dea of Dr, Thontas to be that the object of the atonement was “(0 vropitiate? man, or to afve fina new une derstanding of the meres and zoadness of God, what could be sald in defense of that view? Ig thore any Seripture agatist it? "The atoyement In theology means: a ex plation for sin. ‘The sin whteh Christ ts satd to have oxpinted by His death on the eross fs, necording to the common tuderstandingofit, thesln conmttted In the Garden of Eden, ‘Tho of all the churetes teaches that God nowledge of (hat sin, and the Cal- vinists elatm ordained it from eternity. ‘The Armintans useribe to Adam a whley range of personal diberty than the Calvinists do; but both agree tn teaching at least the for kuowledge and omntpatenes of God. Bub foreknowledge and onnipotenes Invelve the Idea of personal responsibility. Hence the eating of the furblditen fruit by Adam may be said to have been ordered and authorized certainly permitted—by an omnipotent power, * What was the situation of Adam when he committed, by snelt psearrangement or fore knowledge of hls Creator, Unis offense for which he and his posterity were doomed to everlasting suffering ? Ho was newly created outof dust, atone, defenseless, and tnexpe- Heneed; totally Ignorant of the forees of Nature, of the hablts of the animals about him, of the action of the elements, of the op- eration of his awn inind, and of the differ ence between good and evil, He had but ong companion, his wife, who nataratly had Munense Influence over him, and sho was in the conspiracy against him, aecording to the Jewish account. ‘The temptation was pre- sented to him in the most alluring form by the Chief of all ‘Tempters, to was unable to resist, ant ate of tho fruit. Hoe would have been a god If he had not, in the opine fon of tha ‘average married man, We havo, too much respeet for tho intelligence of our readers to presi that the offense was the Mteral eating of Mteral frult. It imust have Deen more serions than that, But whatever it was, It was followed by an awfal punlsh- tent, ‘The sentence of God was: Hecause thou tast hearkened unto tho voice Of thy wife, and hast exten of the tree of whlett manded thor, saying. * Thou shult not ent. of ft,” euirged Is the ground for thy eke; in sore row shalt thon eat or it all the diss of thy tit thee; and thou shaltent tho herb of the tleld. “In tho sw Alt thou cat brend,ti thot return U 3 for dust thou wrt, ad unto dust stuls thou return. 'Tho penaltf was, therefore, cumulative, Inchuling torture, hard labor, and death, and extending not only to the offender, but to all hisunborn and funocent posterity; and the motive for it, as set forth tn the Bible, fs even more remarkable thin the orginal offense and judgment, Gen., lil, 23-21, reads ns ful- las: ‘ And tho Lord God said: Bohold, the man te tee come ax one of rue Co know good ant ceil: and now, test he put forth his hund and take alse of the Gree of iife, anu cat, and live forever? therefore tho Lord God gent him forth frow the Gurdon of Eden to till the gronnd from which he wns tnken, So He dreve ont the man: and He placed at the castof the Garden of Kien eherublms, and: a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep tho way of the tree of life, Ut would seem from this Serlpture that pre- vious to eating of the forbidden fruit man dit not know what goo and evil were; nor thoir differgnee; nor thelr respective natures; that he wi wWinnoeent, Ignorant creature; Dut after eating the fruit he found out, to his sorrow, the nature of good and evil, It s2ems, alsa, that if he had bevn let rlone he Woull-have eaten of tho tree of life and prevented death from entering the world, Ilo would have become Ike the im wortal gods, So he’ wns expelled from tho garden to prevent this result. Man rebelled and donled the justice of this frightful punishment’ for -ylelding to his wife's solleltations—rebelled at the Justice or equity of it, when he had got hts eyes apen to the difference between goo and evil, Man could discern nelther the goodness nor tho wisdom of the Being who Intlicted the awful pon, Te feared God, but did not love Him, ‘To mako him comprehend the forgiyencss ‘and compnssion of the Almighty, it was necessary that there should be a further revelation. According: to the same Jewlsh authority, Jehovah unde this revelation in the person of Christ, who presented to man- kind the benign aspects of a merciful re- ligion, The svectacte of tho death upon the cross of ko ool and great n man—sent by God as His Son—was needed to Inform tho world of the forgiveness of [ts Creator. Hence the atonement was in one sense a menns of reconciling man to God. « Weare quite aware that this ts not a theory of the atonement which the Methodist Chureh is prepared to approve, But itis merely the logleal development of Dr. Thomas’ theory. It Is the idea of atonement which has found lodgment in millions of minis, and recom- amends Heself constantly to the favor, of re- fiecting minds the more it ts examined, ees QURTIS AND THE OIVIL SERVICE, Areport of the proceedings of the New York Republican Convention says: “George Wiliam Curtis? name, thgugh low on the roll, drow tho first applause.” This 1s slz- nificant of a grent change In public senti- menton the subject of civil-service reform, Me, Citrtls ts note popular man with poli- ticians.
