Ingersoll’s conterapt- uous Way of exprassing bis ignorance of the Chris tan religion stoald exasperate the champions of Christianity, but 1t 1s unvortunate that any cf thera should fail, in dealing with his loose and careless generalizations, to retain the advantage of a secure confidence in the triumph of the trut!is that are now overwhelmingly proved by the his- torical developments of the Christian races and nations. ‘Of the clercymen who have tackled Ingersoll few have seemed to be so entirely conscious of this advantage as Dr. Henry M. Field, who in the North American Review has addressed an open letter to Ingersoll that 1s a model of courtesy and fal and in which Mr. Ingersoll’s blindest and warmest admirers cannot find a single expres- sion to find fault with. But there 13 no lack of earnestness, logical muscle and keen dlulectics in this letter to In- soll, Which recognizes all there is in him and frhis words and ways that could. be and which yet shows Ingersoll’s lack of com: rehension of the elements of the great prob- jemns of which Christianity alone has furnished solutions that stand the wear and tear of the It is the strength of Dr. Field’s letter that he meets Ingersoll on common ground and uses the language and illustrations that would most strike intelligent and conscientious unbelievers. Some of Dr. Field's replies to the Ingersollian flippanctes and illogicalities are so terse and clear and self-evidencing that they ought to get betore the brighter young menof the country. ‘For instance, in reply _to various expessions of Ingersoll’s ostentatious and invincible ignorance as to whether or not there is a God, this fine 18 taken, viz: “Of course, t—the question of a God— isa mystery. But do you think toescape mystery by denying the Divine existence? You only ex- change one mystery for another. The first of all mysteries is, not that God exists, but that we ex- ist.

Once begin to climb to the stairway of past gener- ations and you will find that it 18 a Jacob's ladder, on which you mount higher and higher until you step into the very presence of the Al- mighty. One of the best of Dr. Field's many specific re- Jes to Ingersoll’s distortions of truth 1s this: jut if you are compelled to admit the greatness of Christ, you take your revenge on the Apostles, ‘whom you do not hesitate to say that you ‘don't think inuch of.’ In fact, you set them down in a most peremptory way as ‘a poor lot.’ It did seem rather an unpromising ‘lot,’ that of a boat load of fishermen, from which to choose the apostles of a Teligion—almost as unpromising as 1 was to take arail-splitter to be the head of a nation in the greatest crisis of its history ! “But perhaps in both cases there was a wisdom higher than ours, that chose better than we. Tt might puzzle even you to give a better definition of religion than this of the Apostle James: ‘Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father 4s this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their afiiiction, and to keep himself unspotted trom the world;” or to find among those sages of antiquity, ‘with Whose writings youl are familiar, a more com plete and perfect delineation of that which 1s the essence of all goodness and virtue, than Paul's de- scription of the charity which ‘suffereth long and 4s kind;’ or to find in the sayings of Confucius or of Budi anything more sublime than this aphorism of John: ‘God ts love, and he that awelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him.’” Another illustration of effective treatment of In- gersoll's destructive, iconoclastic tendencies 1s afforded in another ‘portion of this letter. “It it were possible,” says Ingersoll’s critic, “for ‘you to sweep away the evidences of Christianity, you have not swept away Christianity itself; it’ still lives, not only in tradition, but in the hearts of the people, entwined with all that 1s sweetest in their domestic life, from which it must be torn out with unsparing hand before it can be extirminated. To begin with, you turn your back upon history. AN that men have done’ and suffered for the sake of religion was folly. ‘The Pilgrims, who crossed the Sea to find freedom to worship God in the forests of the New World, were miserable fanatics, There 1s no more place ih the world for heroes and mar- tyrs. He who sacrifices his life for a faith or an idea isa fool. The only practical wisdom is to have a sharp eye to the main chance, If you keep on in this world of demolition you will soon destroy all our ideals. Family life withers under the cold sneer—halt ity and half scorn—with which you look down on yusehold Worship. ‘Take from our American fire- sides.such scenes as that pictured in the Cotter's Saturday Night, and you have taken trom them Shel most sicréd hours and their tenderest inem- ories.” This is a way of dealing with Ingersoll which has this merit, that it 1s likely to set Ingersoll’s more intelligent and honest admirers to thinking, and they cannot follow out any of the many lines of tought suggested in Mr. Field's letter without seeing that he is a nihlist, who would destroy all that fs most essential to the continuance of our Christian ctvilization, without offering the slight- est substitute or consolation. In its tone, its candor, its genuine lberality, and its scope’ and thoroujghness, 1t is unique among the many criti- ¢isms On thé burly, brawny, and brainy unbe- lever, who has turnéd his infidelity into a profit- able industry, reckless of the moral desolation and ruin he 1s'bringing to the young and inexpe- Tlenced, and to Weak and untrained souls, + A Glowing ‘Tribute to America, WHERE BRAINS, ENERGY, INTEGRITY AND PLUCK ARE THE TALISMANS TO SUCCESS, From Henry Clews' Forthcoming Book. In this country no one cares about ancestry. The spectacle of Mark Twain weeping at the tomb of Adam 1s a humorous expression of American opin- fons on this general subject of ancestry. To save time he paid his devoirs to the fountain head with out stopping at the Guelphs, the Tudors, the Bour- bons, the Hohenzollerns, the Hapsburgs or the Romanoff. There is no time, if there were any Wish, in this great country, shaking to the tread ot Bigantic business, to indulre, “Who was his father?” There 1s only tinie for such questions as “What do you know?” What can you do?” “How have You succeeded?” Integrity ana ability stand a man in better stead in Atnerica than purple Yelns of Norman blood. _ Even in the aristocracy, 80 to speak, of brains, ancestry in one sense, 86 far from being an advantage, 18 apt to be pre- cisely the reverse. A son of Henry Clay or Daniel Webster can never hope to attain the lorty pre- eminence of bis sire, and he suffers by the com- yarison. Great men do notalways have great sons, For one itt, the son of a great Chatham, there are hundreds of sons who {intellectually dishonor great fathers. Brains, intelligence, industry, energy and pllick; these are the tallstianic words Which stand for ‘success in America, where no ghost of a dead feudalism hovers over the land, darkening it by its blighting presence. In Eng ‘yet. J atm still at Bar Har- | land the frst question, a silly echo of centuries, & “Who 1s his father!” But who are the nobility? Have they any title as such to the respect of right thinking persons? ‘The nobility 15 running to orrather the once noble tree 1s withering and dying; ft has borne its fruit und its time has passed anray. In Scriptural language, why cum. reth it the ground? How many of the nobility. are now worthless roues, habitual seducers, dricd up or half consumed by the fires of passion aud de- bauchery! They are dying as the fool dlech, with a drunken leer on their shrunken faces and the stain of dishonor on their escutcheons, ‘The cotntnons of England will yet redevin it from the thraidom ofa worthless aristocracy. America 1s the true for the human race. itis the hope and the jum for the oppressed and down.trodden of every clime, Itisthe inspiring example ot Amer- ica—peerless among the nations of the earth, the brightest star in the political firmament—thit 1s leavening the hard lump of aristocracy and pro- moting a democratic spirit throughout the world, It 18fndeed the gem of the ocean, to which the World may well offer homage. Here merit is the sole test. Birth is nothing. ‘The fittest survive. ‘Merit 1s the supreme and only qualification essen- tai to success. Intelligence rules worlds and s¥s- tems of Worlds. It is the dread monarch of iliimi- table space, ind in human goclety, especially in America, it Shines a3 a diadet on the foreheads of those wulo stand in the foremost ranks of human enterprise. Here only a natural order of nobility ts recognized, and Its motto, without coat-of-arms or boast of heraldry, 1s “Intelligence and integ- rity.” e+ Growth of the British Empire, From the Levant Herald. ‘The Melbourne Argus with its jubilee number presents to its readers a map of the world on Mer- cator’s projection showing the British possessions ‘wherever they exist, with statistical tables exhib- iting the progress made during the reign of Queen Victoria. ‘The comptler of these statistics has dl- Nided the British Empire into the following groups: ‘The United Kingdot, the Dominion of Canada, British West Africa, South Africa, the Indian Em- pire, and Australia, giving for each group the ex- tent of territory, the population, and the value of its trade at, the periods of the queen's accession, andthe jubilee year. As may be expected thé trade returns from India and Australasia show a very rapid increase, that of India being more than five times greater than it was in 1851, ahd during the same period the trade of Austr: has in- creased twelvefold. ‘The six divisions taken to- gether give the following comparative results for fhe cutive british Empire: ao that, while rece shoestors, she will trans of square miles from her mit 000 to her successor, ‘The ‘the empire has doubled, and its t ‘creased fivefold.
