The True Sphere and Limitations of | Seience—Tyndall’s Theories a Rehash | of Epicurean Materialism, | To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— So long as science.takes the world as we see it, and expiuins its phenomena and their laws as they come under her observation, without attempting to account for the origin of things, she remains witbin her owo sphere. She can say the fact of crea- | back to your graves, ye shadows. tion, either in time or in eternity, cannot be a fact Of experience; and it ts solely with facts of ex- Pertence that { deal. Therefore, if theology thinks | fit to account for the existence of a Creator, and | to prove the fact of creation, that {s her proper | business, and to her I leave it, As for me, Ideal | with sensible substances and the forces which they | develop and the laws which regulate these ma- terial forces. I find, summing up all the experi- mental knowledge of the past, that no material | force observed so far is ever destroyed, and no mew material force is created or brought into ex- istence. Therefore, in this sense, 1 can affirm the | permanence or conservation of all known forces; ‘Tone perish, noue are created. | Religion would have nothing to say tosucha position. It was that of Bacon, that of the founders of the Royal Society of London, that of every generation of physicists who, irom the days of St. Paul, have studied, within the bosom of the Church, the jaws of the material universe and traced mevery reign of nature all tne infinite warlety of sensible phenomena or effects to their | De Witt will be missai from the platiorm, NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1874—QUADRUPLE SHEET. causes. But such is not the position which mod- ern science, if not misrepresented by ber Hux- leys and Spencers, would be contented with. Denying, rashly and suicidally, the very existence of spiritual substances and the very possibility of & moral order founded on the notion of a God Who is at once Creator, Lord, Governor and Judge Of mankind, modern science, thus identified with materialism, usurps the place of the old Persian Gnosis of Mani. It affirms that science alone “knows,” that to its disciples belong the monopoly of knowledge, and that philosophy and religion can teach nothing. This is, I regret to say it, @ deplorable excess, ruinous alike to the reputation of true natural science and to the minds and hearts of the rising generation. It is fatal to the best interests of the race ‘hat such scientific materialisin as that of Huxley and Maudsley should be kept before the public mind, or that such moral filth as that afforded by the Beecher-Tilton-Moulton controversy should be poured out in a weekly deluge for so long a time. ‘The two roots of society are our young men and young women. This filth poisons through,them the whole society of the future. Prejudices cre- ated by false intellectual notions are like @ poi- sonous gas which fils the lungs, prevents the en- ‘wance of God’s vital air and causes the death of reason, It is hard to say which 1s more banefal to the youth of our day and country oi these loath- sume details which should have been submitted in @ closed court room to the judgment of select jurors, or that uudisguised materialism which Says that there 18 no soul, that there is no God, no Judgment, no hereafter for the virtuous or the wicked—in @ word, that there is no such thing as virtue or justice or even truth, For is it not oue of the latest conclusions of the school of such moralists as Spencer and Taine that we have to set aside the antiquated notions of truth, &, and to build up anew our reason, our conceptions and the very language in which until this day the human race has expressed itseli on all that is fundamental in Knowledge ana morality ? The corruption of the heart effected by a prema- ture knowledge of moral evil 1s fearful enough to contemplate; but the corruption of the intellect by filling it beforehand, and to the exclusion o! all other light, with the notions of the new material- ism, 18 au irremediable misfortune. The wounds of the heart may be cured, but I know no antidote for inteliectual asphyxia. Be it known, then, that modern science is in- ferior to the old doctrine of Kpicurus and the gross dualism of Mani, if it should be made to | teach mankind this exclusive Monism, which Says that nothing exists but matter and material forces; that every atom of matter is seli-existent, eternal, cadowed essentially with the forces neces- sary to constitute Itie when placed in the requisite conditions, Life in its wonderful variety here on the surtace 01 our planet, 10 the human individual and in human society, originated in these material forces and nowhere eise. The universe, made up Of these material atoms, their aggregations and the combinations Of these manifold forces, is self- existent and seli-sulicient, ‘I'nere needs no pri- mal cause to produce it and no future supra. | mundane iife to compiete 1t and perfect the lle of man as we see it here. 1 repeat it, the science of Tyndall, of Spencer, of Tame, e tutte quanti, as it now stands before us stripped of mask and disguise, is but a rehasb of Epicurean materialism, as it attempted to account for the origin and destinies of the universe, as weil as for the nature of things and the duties of human life. Would it be believed that this system, which ap- eared in Greece some three hundred years be- fore Christ, and was looked upon as the shame of the old pagan philosophy, 1s, In its every principal feature, identical with the materialism, usurping the name of science, which now claims the exclu- Bive homage ol the tntvilect of Christendom aiter nearly two thousand years of Christian civiliza- | tion? Uf course the abhorrence with which the theory of the Grecian philosopher was held even by his pagau contemporaries is not a proof ofits ab- solute falsehood. His moral speculations, too, may have, because either misunderstood or im- perfectly undersigod, cast discredit on his cos- Mmogonic and cosmological explanations, They say Kpicurus was a man of spotiess life, albeit his moral code appeared to be based on present en- joyment, Even so Mr. Tyndall and Mr. Haxie: and Mr. Spencer may be and are doubtless excel- lent men in their private life, and, were it otner- | Wise, this would not prove their materialism 1n it- | Self to be devoid of trath. What 1s intended to be shown here is that the general scientific explanation of man and society | and the universe beld out to us by them as the only one deserving the attention of grave men is not anew one, not one discovered by them, nor proved by them to be a whit more complete or sat- isfactory than that propounded so much more modestly by the old Grecian of 2,400 years ago. Our modern scientists have not been fortunate in calling upon us to break up our idols and worship , atthe aitars of the new science. 1tis only a long buried mummy from the cemetery of the ancient philosophies that has been exhumed and galvan- ized into a semblance of life, and dressed in mod- | ern robes, and set up in the sanctuary to take the | | Place of the living and eternal God, Thanks, U scientists!

He 18 equally jascinating whetuer he lead me on through the theories of light and heat and mo- tion or describe the mountain glories of Switzer- land or explain how its valleys were scooped out by the mighty forces of glacier action, And [ could sit for hours at his feet and listen to his lec- tures or gather fresh knowledge from his beauti- Tul experiments and apt illustrations, In all this Jonn Tyndall is the prophet of science and the eld- quent interpreter ol nature. But how the halo vanisnes from his brow when he now stands forth to the world as the disciple of Epicurus! Why not continue to teach us, as he has done hitherto, the mysterious laws which govern the material world, and leave to the French disciples o1 Voltaire to deride the ancient faith of Christendom? Moreover, the new science is inferior to the Manichean dualism, which attempted to account tor the origin of the universe and for the existence here below of moral good and evil and their an- tagonism. Manicheeism, even in its best forms—because 1t showed itself in the civilized world almost con- temporaneously with Christianity—drew down on its followers hatred and persecution. But, whether viewed in the primitive theory of the man who gave it his name or in after transformations, it can be believed t» be an honest effort at solving the greatest problem of existence and of life. It was | Superior to the materialism of our day in that it did not oa, God and the soul, but in some respects unduly exalted both above the material worl it ‘was superior to it even in accounting for the origin of moral evil. It resembled tt m that 1t made matter uncreated, self-existent and eternal. And Tyndall, who now appears as the high priest of the new worship, Makes against the Onurch an accusation which no Manicheean ever yet made, and that 1s, to have considered matter and tie body as accursed and unholy. ‘This is Only one little tnstance among many in -which the Professor errs by going into the sphere of theology. The Manicheeans considered matter to be essentially unclean, and held that any spirit, created or uncreated, soled itself by coming into contact with matter. And this doctrine, which led to inany social errors, was one of those whica the Church condemned, even in these sectarians. But the Church has ever taught that all that God has made is good of itsel/ and pure, and that moral evil only comes from the transgression of the Divine commands and a wrong use of created ob- jects. The haman body she considers as an in- tegral part of the human personality, as created good and holy, as sanctijed still more by ber sacra- ments, as the living temples of God Himsel!, and destined in the future life to share the soul’s in- comprehensible glory ani bliss. Thus modern science, precisely because she has left ner true sphere and ollows the wrong path in pursuit of knowledge, ® like a child that has found its way into one o the catacombs of anclent Egypt. Far sway from fhe light of day, it takes the long buried dead fot the living, the olJ tor the id ite Own fancies for the eternal forms of Epicurism or Manichreism, dualism of the past or Monism of the preent, ye are only aiscon- tented spectres with which a false acience would fain alarm or frighten w. The old Church which has laid many an error o rest is not mistaken in you; she hag met you before. Then you were fiesh and bone and full of overfowing life. Now you are but the ghosts »f your former selves. Go You can never again walk the earth lile living things. PRUDENTIUS.

The Word of God on the Heart Like Rain and Snow on the Earth—An Earnest Call to Repentance—Sermon by Rev. Dr. Gottheil. The Rev. Dr. Gottheil yesterday preached to less than an average congregation in the Temple Emanuel. To-morrow will be # great day—the Day of Atonement—with Israelites, and many of them are detained at home tn preparation for that event, as well as by the weather. The Doctor's text ‘was Isaiah, lv., 6-18, This portion speaks of the Word of God upon human hearts a8 being like the Taig ang the anow upon the earth, producipg | Secretary he mast have a fruitfalness and verdure, moral greenness and goodness, Aud to this aspect of the text the Doctor chiefly adaressed himself. He also briefy alluded to the Atonement festival, which is so noar at hand. In this earnest call of the prophet to re- pentance, he said, we find we have the eternal call of God ana the mission of His Word among men. As the rain fatlson the earth, 80 every word of God that tonches man’s mind must cause it to ex- pand and grow. Cause and effect are as certain in the realm of mind asin that of matter. Wher- ever, therefore, we see no development of mind, there we may Conclude the Word of God has not entered. Wherever there is knowledge there is sure to 06 such fruit that we cannot look with sat isfaction upon the violation of any of God’s com- mandments. And itis‘the office of truth to pro- duce such fruit, We have here in our text an evi- dence of the nature of truth. Whatever comes to us as the Word o/ God must prove itself to tbe soul as such just a8 the rain and the snow approve themselves to the parched earth, It must put our mind into activity, 1s this Bible, then, the Word ofGod.? Volumes have been written to prove that itis, But if this Word itself does not command be- lief, how can that werd of man hope to achieve it? Rain and snow are beyond the power of man to produce or to control, All that man can do ts to neutralize feebly the effect | of drought untli the windows of heaven shall be | opened unto him, So also is it with truth, We must trust to the inherent power of the Word of God to instruct and to enlighten the mind and heart. Just as food, and not the promise of food, only can sausly a bungry man, so When tue truth enters into @ man’s soul he will know it and be salistied with it. And the Jook of the man wiil tell you whether God has s:at His Word to that heart or not. Touching the inspiration of the Biole, the Doctor remarked that there are large tracts of country in every land which do not reward the labors of the hasbandman, and so it is with the Bible, If we believe tuat the genealogies and the Jong hist of sacrifices are inspired, what do they profit us? That only is inspiied which inspires us, We should not cling to the ancient customs ve- cause of their age, but should rather lead the peo- ple imto green pastures and beside the still waters of truth, and never attempt to thwart or trife with the Word of God; for we know not but it may be the channel of Goa’s love to our hearts. And we never can tel from | what side the new light wilicome. A little Engin | Jad sat in his mother’s home jooking at the keitle | boiling on the fire, He saw that the steam gen- erated by the boiling water caused the lid of that | kettle to rise and tall. He was apparently doing | nothing, but God was giving him in that hour a | revelation whose potency and power shall con- tinue to bless tae World til the end of time. No | man can tell by what means God wili bring his | children into the light of knowledge. It 18 tuere- | fore siniul ever to stifle the truth, And it will ve equaily so lor Our Spiritual truth; and what a tes- | timony it is to our moral weakness that we can | stand the truth so littie, druch is mtended by | God to iructily our hearts as the rain end the snow the soil, Keterring to the New Year and Atonement, she Doctor remarked that these days good to Israel, and they are so still. They @re springtime to our souls, It depends on » whetuer these days shall work jor us | all the good they are intended to bring or not. | All these days ought to be like steps in the ladder | leading us \o a better and more God-learing life. | We fail to see what good they will be if they shall be mercly jootstepsin the sands of time, washed | out by every incoming wave. What 1s the object ofthe Day of Atonement and o: judgment * he asked, Of all deys im the year these days point to ] the future—to ajuagment and a recxoning be- | tween God and man, Let us, then, remember | and lay to heart that these days have been insti- tuted that they might come to us as the rain and | the snow come to tae earth, that we may bring forth good deeds, And let ‘us rest assured that | divine blessings will come upon us at ail times if | We serve the Lord and keep his commandments, | Monday being the Day o!

It will close with the setting of | ‘That will be the great day of the feast, Usually the synagogues are crowded on that day as on no other day in the year, and _ | so anxious are tne faithiul to gather together tor | the worship of God on that day that temporary ! synagogues are improvised in halls and public places, where those too poor to pay for seats in | the grander and more aristocratic synagogues can enjoy the services of the day without their poorer prethren, All day long these places of worship will be kept open, and one, two or three sermons will be delivered in each, Such congregations as have no rabbi or minister usually get one of their smartest liver an address or to read a sermon ou those great days. For, according to the Jewish theory, they are ali hation of priests. it’ ts remarkable, aad speaks Well ior the fattnfuiness of israel, that although upward of thirty centuries have elapsed since the | day was appointed for 1ts observance, yet to this.| hour it 13 solemnized with the same rigor as on the day the command was given. Nor is it in the | various synagogues that religious services are per- formed: the imvalidin his chamber of si¢kness, | the Israelite dwelling remote trom all religious | assottations, the Jewish mariner ploughing the | deep, the soidier in camp or on the battlefield, all willfor twenty-lour hours abstain from {ood or drink; and, with their physical powers reduced, will mentally beseech israel’s God to pardon their Iniquitiesand afford them His Divine protection. | The Jewish Messenger disabuses the public mind of certain theories connected with this festival, which it states 18 but a means to an end—a time for preparation to ask | for mercy by being merciful themseives—-and it | hopes that the Day of Atonement may be the | means of bringing many who have strayed from | the told back to the good road and cause them to serve Israel’s God with faithtuiness. This day 18 | to the Jew a Sabbatn of Sabbaths, the only day of | humiliation commanded by the Mosatc law, a day in which the people were to do no work and were to aftlict their souls, under penalty of being cut oi | from the people. Then and then onty tue High | Priest entered the Holy of Holes with blood of sacrifices, invense and coals of fire, Then over the head of the scapegoat which was, by a figure, to bear away the sins of the people, the High Priest coniessed and prayed. This cannot be done eay now, but it may be figuratively accom- plished, THE JERSEY INSURANCE FRAUDS. French Committed for Trial—Over. whelming Testimony Against Him. Justice Keese rendered his decision yesterday in the case of Lewis E, French, charged with con- spiring with one Sacia to defraud the people of New-Jersey by maintaining @ bogus concern under the title of ‘The Palisade Fire Insurance Company of Jersey City.” The Justice in rendering his decision said that there was no doubt that the conclusion was irresistible that a conspiracy had been entered into to defraud the people of the State under the pretence of organ- izing an insurance company purporting to havea capital it did not possess, Among the papers of the so-called company were twelve mortgages, two assignments of mortgages and twelve bonds. In every case the signatures were forged and the acknowledgment was ijraudulently taken. But for the act passed at the late session of the Legislature, requiring the Secretary of State to examine the affairs of ali iusurauce companies, this bogus concern might have thrived and four- ished for years without fear of detection, Even the affidavits in the case were forgeries. French Was 80 bold as to testify he did not attend the meetings of the directors, but when his minutes were consulted it appeared very plainly that ne did attend the meetings. In conclusion Justice Keese said that French was beyond all | juestion @ party to the conspiracy § to | leiraud, and because of his ‘position as cost. | Wealthy Israelites pay for these privileges for | 4 laymen to de- | | ELLiot, son of Charigs and ber 17, 1874, at the Church of the Holy Trinity, by the Rev. 8.
