To tue Epitor OF THE HERALD:— You bave lately adinitted into your journal some discussions concerning tue philosophy which con- cludes that man was formerly a brutc and, per- | haps, still earlier, @ vegetable,* and some of your | correspondents assume that these are facts which though only very lately discovered, are now estab- lished beyond all question and universally ad- mitted by scientific men. On the contrary, we have the best testimony to show that the Dar- winian theories have prevailea only in Germany, while they are still on their trial in England and are wholly rejected in | France, the country which has taken the lead | lated to them. The newest scientiiic enunciation, however startling, will almost always find a mul- tituae ready to accept it, But science, in its slow | | conclusions, Even those of them which seem to | rest on mathematical demonstration prove inac: | | curate; and now, aiier gradually lessening our | estimate of the carth’s distauce irom the sun bya | | Jew millions of miles, we are waiting for the | | coming transit of Venus to confirm our latest | judgment oF it, and, consequently, of ali the other celestial distances Of which we are compelled to | | make it the measure. But when we come to theorles which do not admit of demonstration, but depend for proof merely on comparison and analogy, or on chains of facts ta which thousands Oi links are still wanting where, tens are found in | | their looked-for succession, We” may be very sure thata decade or two,of existence have not been suficlent to test them. | From the unity of plan exhibited in the animal kingdom; irom the numberless resemolances in ) animal organisms, and the many cases im which those resembiances occur in a regular gradation, | and especially from the existence in some animals | of the mere rudiments Oo! parts which are fully de- veloped ana active in other species, Darwin con- | cludes that all orgauisme have been produced by | “evolution,” in accordance with those further | principles which he designates py the well known | phrases of “natural selection,” “sexual selection” aud “survival of the firtest.”” But while the inter- esting and tascimating display of selected facts — | woicl he produces would confirm or establish his | evolution theory if it had already some other ground to rest upon, or tf there were no other evi- dence conficting with it, there 13 sulla greater ‘Inass Of facts Which tt makes no attempt to ex- | plain, and with reference to which any such at. | tempt would seem hopeless, i ts, a8 everyone knows, | h which the under one on each side joins the upper as @ sort 0: supplement, when are extended im fight, but hes closely be- neuin it when at rest.

BAPTIST. The New York and Brooklyn Baptist Ministers’ Conference spent consideravbie time on Monday in discussing the question:—‘“‘How and lor what causes ought a Baptist church to be cut off from associational fellowship?” A variety of views were expressed and the subject was postponed for @ further discussion. A movement is on foot among the friends and Trustees of William Jewell College, at Liberty, Mo., looking to the recalling of Rev. T. Rampaut D. D., recently settled as pastor in Brooklyn, N. Y., to | the Presidency. It is thought it may succeed, as | one friend of his and the college guarantees the Payment of hie salary for a term of years, in case | of nis re-election and return. South Carolina Baptists have pledged during the | past two years $160,000 of $200,000 ior the endow- ment of Furman University, and her contributions to foreign missions were larger last year than the great majority of Southern States. Rey. W. S. Penick, of Martinsburg, Va., has been called to the pastorate of the Baptist church in Alexandria, Va. Rey. George F, Pentecost, of Boston, has sailed for a summer tour in Europe. The Rey.

LEXINGTON AVENUE SYNAGOGUE. cai Progress and Development the Law of | Morals as well as of Physics—Sermon by Rev. Dr. Huebsch. The Rev. Dr. Huebsch preached yesterday to a large congregation in the synagogue on Lexing- i ton avenue and Fiity-fittn street, His text was | Dent. xit., 8, 9:—"Ye shall not do after ali the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever ia right in his own eyes, For ye are not as yet come | to the rest and to the inheritance which the Lord your God giveth you.’ Moses, tle Doctor re- marked, spake these words to Israel in the tast | year of their wanderings through the desert, after | he had imparted to them the Jaws and command- ments of God, They had already their sauctuary, their priests aud Levites, their rites of wor- ship and rules of conduct in all relations | of life; ot the same time instances tell us that a most punctual obedience to the divine commandments was rigorously enforced from the confessors. It was @ capiial crime for a non-priest | to approach to such service as belonged only to | the sacerdotal tribe. How the discipline among | the priests was maintained is suflicilently exem- plitied by the sad fate of Aaron’s sons, Nadab and | Abihu, AN iustance of Sabbath violation occurred, | put the guilty one was promptly punished with death. One dared to blaspheme the name of God, and he had to pay with his life for it. Besides these individual cases we read that every murmur, | opposition and revolt of the congregation against | the will of the Lord was immediately jollowed vy strict order had been early estabiisied under THE NEW THROORATIC CONSTITUTION, and the words of our text must consequently rouse a certain degree of surprise in our mynd, tor they seem to suggest the idea that there was nO jaw, no obedience, but that every man shaped & law according to his convenience ana did as he deemed right in his own eyes. A cioser perusal of the Scriptural passage, however, shows the main idea contained therein Is to teach usa Jesson, most important in religious as in political lie. 'e are made aware of the truth that the theory of devel- opment must serve ag the foundation for every nt objects, | — sive ages form & cham, each age being a link ot pecullar formation, buy ali ave wrought of the same material. The Israelitish relicion is the mountain of the Lord, and like a moual its various strata, each layer beart! the period to which it belongs. ‘sr: in the desert atthe time of the propiets, of tha Synagoga Magna, of the Talmud, of te’ Middle Ages and of the modern period bears its distine: tive characteristics; each rising period had ta fight itself into existence, new problems hau to be solved and new questions to be auewered. The Application of old theories to uew circumstances and relations challenged the human mind té abandon the letter and to penetrate nto THE SUBSOIL OF THE SPTIKIT. The rising generation, seeing things take a new and untraditional shape, rose in defence of tha old, cherisved customs, and charged the imnovas tors with heresy, But in vain was every attempt to hold back & progressive development. There has been no dam strong enough to stop tne food 0; progress since Moses said, *!\¢@ »lall not do alter all the things that we do here this day.” ‘The consciousness lives i the israelitish mind that each generation has the right—nay, the duty—to take an active part in shaping the ‘eligious prac. tices of his age according to the reqmirements of his time. The spirit of Israel’s religious condition is the same in our days as {t was when the law- giver lived in the midst of His people. But we understand the inspired servant Of the Lord too well to stand suil when he wants us to go forward on the pavh of religious culture. Tie occasion prompts us to show that the same principle pre- vails 1m political affairs, We celebrate on this Sab- baih also the gala day of the Anertcin nation, the memorial day of the independence of this country. Blessed be the memory of those wha bought with their life blood the freedom of their homes! Twice blessed the memory of those who chartered and sealed this freedom by framing @ constitution which sheds an immortal lustre upon ie wisdom 0! ali WhO were eugaged in this wor o POLITICAL SALVATION! But the run of ninety-eight years brought different questions to the surface, created new Situations, and the following generations were called upon ta make provisions for new nesessities. They could not withdraw from this task, they could not point to the original charter o! the nation, ower “We have our old constitution; we cannot add to or detract irom that which ts written therein.’? But they had to consult the old and noble spirit o! their organte law, and in accordance with it the; answered such questions as that relating to slavery, and by following up the principle of active devel- opment they invigorated and rejuvenated thaw old biessed instrument to a wonderml degree. They would have marred and deforined it had they listened to she insinuations of those who know so little of the spirit of our constitution as to want it Christianized. Pointing to the second verse of hig text. the Doctor thanked God that it cannot be said now of Israel in this country, “For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which the Lord your God giveth you.’ Abraham’: posterity has jound @ prosperous home m thi country. This secular success, far from turning their hearts from Him who bestows all biessing, ought to make the confessors of the ancient covenant | zealous in their religious duties and cager to show to allthe world the eternal glory of that trath which was entrusted to Jacob’s seed and,which re« Mains forever the basis of salvation for mankind, IRREGULARITIES AT THE NA- TIONAL CAMP MEETING, Messrs. Inskip and Boole Denounce tha Fruit of Their Own Doctrines. The national camp meeting at Sterling, Mass,, concerning whose beginning, continuance and ending we gave some correspondence last Sanbath, did not pass off as smoothly and as pleasantly ad might be expected, The members of the National Association for the Promotion of Holiness had sole charge of the meeting. But there were some thas had indignation among themselves and who thought that Brothers Inskip, McDonald, Boole & Co. took too much upon themselves and were not the only prophets of the Lord on the camp ground. The Boston Herald tells how this little band conducted themselves and also how the greater baud of camp followers behaved tow- ard them, A Mrs. Utis, of Boston, and Miss Carrie Ward, of Brookiyn, said to have been at one time am editor or contributor to Dr. Talmage’s paper, held services in a tent. Two ministers connected with the New Engiand Conterence, Revs. Lansing and Ray, also gave the ladies their countenance and presence. they held meetings at certain time@ when the National Association were conducting puolic meetings. But this discourtesy might be jorgiven had they not also insisted on laying on of hands 98 a means of sanctification. For this they were publicly denounced by Kevs. Inskip and Boole. The ladies were accused of being tree | lovers, and the curiosity seekers went so far as ta lut the canvas of their sleeping tents and peer rudely in at the ladies, to their great annoy- ance aud injury, They claim that the lays ; mg on of hands is =6a—silegitimaie = 8e« quence of the doctrine of sanctification, | and that Christ immediately belure His deification said to and of His disciples that they should lay hands on the sick and they should re- cover. Moreover, they claim that Miss Ward wag thus healed of @ distressing malady at Ocean Grove last summer. And why not? This is just a8 logical a sequence of the doctrine wiich Mesars. inakip, McDoauld and Boole preach as any other, and yet Mr. Boole states that it would not be ree cetved in any Christian church, and that his as sociation were determined to crush it out wher- ever they found it as an adjunct of their meetings. Belief in the porency ot laying on of hands is ven- erable, but since the apostolic age it nas had very little else to recommend 1t It 18, to be sure, one | of the possibilities of fatth; butis much more likely to be the concomitant of superstition than. ofiaith. And such, in woo great measure, must bo the natural fruit of the doctrine of sanctiiication | as preached by many of its apostles at the pres- ent day.
