Baptism at the close of the service, The Analogy Between Creation and Mechanism. To THE EprIroR OF THE HERALD :— If there is a strikingly true resemblance be- tween the Divine Workman in creating the worla and the human artist in planning and producing a masterpiece, it is also true that there isa differ- ence; and, a8 I hinted in my last letter, in this diterence lies the chief difficulty the Christian philosopher bas to deal with. Before exposing the matertalistic system of the universe I feel I must face this diMculty, remove it or explain it as best ican, for the reader’s satisfaction as well as for my own. Let us look it squarely in the face. The differ- ence between the Divine Workman's execution and that of the ordinary artist ‘s this:—Tnat the sculptor, the painter or the architect has to work out his design with materiais pre-existing outside himself. The design in his mind is his own, but the marble or the metal of his statue, and the very tools with which he fashions it, are not of his mak- ing. So with the painter and so with the archi- tect. Not so with God. We have seen Him con- ceive the plan of this vast universe, in ite moat minute detaila—there it 1s in the Divine mind a clear, distinct, definite reality. Before the crea tive act is elicited God alone exists; besides the divine substance no other thing has substantive existence. No sooter has God willed to create than a twofold, distinct, essentially and supstan- tially different reality stands fortn before my mind’s eye—God and the world. ‘lo the de- sign, but just now existing witnin the divine in- telligence, corresponds a world conforming to it most perfectly. This mighty work in all ite parts and in the countless variety of beings which com- pose it is, nevertheless, substantially different from its author, He communicated toit no part of his substance. Whence, then, comes the sub- Stantial reality of the vast material universe, of the organic life with which it teems and of man’s rational soul, which is supreme and sovereign among created things here below? Here is the difficulty, Not one substance among all tose which creation displays existed before the cre- utive act; the fiat of the Creator goes forth, and jo! they exist, together with the mysterious forces wnich have ever belonged to them. Whence came they? They were the result of that one exertion of infinite power. To escape from the incomprebensibility of this creative act men’s minds during the last 1,800 years have found a resting place in believing or supposing that the world is uncreated and eternal, and during this same period the mightiest geniuses in Christendom have labored to find some analogy to the creative act In the working of man’s own powers, but more especially and successfully in the activity of God’s interior lite. I warn the reader, in sdvance, that I cannot promise him a perfect explanation of what is, in itsell, inexplicable, or to Make clear to his appre- henston how God, in creating, caused what was not, to be and to live. Yet if the reader will only follow me patiently and attentively the light which long study has found for my own soui’s comfort may reward him, to his great consolation and the strengthening of his faith. 1, There is @ very helpful and beautiful analogy in what we call the “creations of mind,” in educating, in producing the masterpieces of literary invention. This, rightly apprehended, will be a first step upwards to a knowledge of the Creator's ways. ' The professor (and I particularly wish this to be understood of teaching where books are few or exist not at all) sits in bis chair and propounds to his attentive pupils a new theory in mathematics, in mental or moral philosophy, or about the ideal in art. Not one germ, I suppose, of the truths which he unfolds exists in those young minds, and yet, befure he has ended, the con- ceptions which are a iiving reality in bis own mind he _ has mado to be living realities in theirs. His word has deen @ creative power, going forth from him, bringing light into their darkness, calling into existence a series of truths which not only open unsuspected hortzons before the-tntelligence of each one there, but which may eventually germinate and bring forth immortal fratts of mind, The work of teaching, of high education, has al- ways been likened to the work of creation. But of course the educator and teacher works upon minds that exist outside himself Still, he doss seem to create worids of thought, of life, of intel lectual activity and secundity in these chaotic souls. There {s a ;further analogy in the power of ora- tory. I address an audience of 10,000 men upon some mighty practical theme of patriotism or re- ligton, My voice, my word creates interest, sym- a conviction, persuasion; it rouses to en- husiastic action; it is the word of the first apog- tles revealing to souls steeped tn pagan sensual- ity the crucified, and changing their very nature, penetrating its very substance and vital faculties, to make them productive of supernatural virtues and Christian sanctity. The change seems a creation; og that man’s word which has entered these souis lke the fash of fire from heaven, purifying and regenerating them, hag taken nothing from bis own soul; tne convictions which It expressed, the truthe that it spoke are still in his own intelligence undiminished and entire. ‘My word can go iorth from me and create @ world of Fae around me and still remain all my own. , 100, hat eternal Word which God sent forth to bid the chaotic elements of the primordial world to be, to cail light out of dark- ness and life from out the womb of death, re- mained entire in God's bosom, while terminating in the creation of substances which before had no ormnere is perhaps, a nearer analogy to th ‘nere 18, logy to the crea- tive power, calling by its act whut was not into substantial being, in intellectual or literary in- vention, Homer's poems must have existed, to be sure, within his own mind, before he sung them through the isi and cities of Greece to enraptured multitudes, or before his ad- mirers committed them to writing. But whether expressed in song by the blind old wanderer, or repeated by his disciples, or written down oy alter generations, mankind Dave agreed to call those chant reation. They hi @ substantive exist- ence, apart {rom manuscript or printed books, which terminated (in the language of the school. men) the tpventive act or the poeute faculty of their immortal author, But all these comparisons help us but little to- ward understanding how God's uct or Gods power, which is wholly spiritual and immaterial, could have bad for its term or reswit any one of the material substances which compose this world, any of the myriad organic forms in which | admire the diversities of vegetable or animal life, 2. I know most certainly that the material sub- stance of any body that, you can name did not exist before creation in God’s mind in length and breadtn, hardness, color or taste, as it is here be- fore my eye. But { also know that God, before creating it, conceived it with this substantial na. ture and all these enumerated properties; and what is more, I know, a8 4 metaphysical certainty, that whatever there is in that inaterial substan of reality, beauty or power exists tn the divt substance in its most transcendent reality, with- out the limitations, tmperfections and changes to which all created things are subject. There 1s no reality in anything {n heaven above or on the earth around me which is not created in imita- tion and likeness of the infinite reality in the Creator, There 18 no aspectes or de- gree of beant; or perfection that ia not the reflection of the infinite beauty of the all periect One, There is no power pat forth by atom. World, man OF ange) WI lg not the image of that divine substance which ts all act, all power, all life; and remember, too, that this same divine substance of a necessity is the very stay of all created things, and that this all- pervading and creating Power penetrates to the core and centre of everything that is, being the very principle o! all energy and force throughout creation. Tous, then, on the one band, the cate- chism which teactes the little ohild that “God ts everywhere, fillmg heaven and earth,’ places within reach of the lull grown, scientific man, the best solution ever attempted of tms appalling aifticnity; and, on the other, what theology teaches of that activity which constitutes the divine Ife affords a ponuberpans to the catechism, and thus completes the explanation. We have thug, in the first pjace,.the fact patent to reason and affirmed by révelation, that God’s substance interpenetrates every created sub- Blance; that God's energy or power—call it by what name Pe wiil—subsists side by side with every lorce displayed in the universe, and that God's intelligence and will is the very soul of life, and its circumambient atmosphere wherever life 1s found. We have, in the second place, the no less familiar fact that the divine substance ts infinite Teality and actuality; it is all that it can possibl be at every conceivable moment, Its act of inte ligence produced the tnfinice, sabstantial, personal reality we cail the Word and Son of God; its act of love produced that other personal infinite, the Holy Spirit. Within God's bosom, then, the sub- Stantial acta of the divine life terminated in the el ae of two divine persons distinct from the ‘ther. Now, God's power 1s God’s own substance, and the object of that power 1s creation, the produc. tion of an indefinite number of created systems, ail imitative of the divine reality. God is free to create; bus if He does create, the term of His creative act must be substantial, It must result in the production of substances—created sub- stances—distincs irom the divine, but still real substances, Here it is that the preceding observations can help us to approach this mystery. J, Wao am & limited being, can create a work of mind, & poem, & fiction, Which can have, outside of My sphere of existence, a reality, a permanent, substantial Wie, that can endure for ages or tor- ever, when Lamnomore, The expression which I may bave given to it in voice or song, or the iorm in which it may be embodied by nryself or others after me, can only be the imitations, more or less perfect, of my mina’s conception. This was all spiritual; their forms are chiefly material. But I know that these are the conditious attendant on the creations of human genius. But here is tne Divine Being about to create. No reaiity can be conceived possible or can exist outside of the mind which conceives it, but is an imitation of the realities within that ocean of being. And when created, that new reality 1s still surrounded and penetrated by the infinite reality. ‘There is no gap between the type of man in God's mind, and the place in time an pace occupied by thatéame man when created. re is no dis. tance between the hand which draws the ideal representation of the world within the Divine mind, and the hand which places in existence and in the iull enjoyment of power and ile the world thus represented. ‘There is no void between the centre and circumterence of this immense uni- verse and that divine substance which is the core ol that centre, and extends immeasurably beyond the utmost limits of that circumference. It is one infinite ocean of substance without shore or bot- tom, in which creation 18 enclosed as a drop in the sea, and you ask whence comes to the bidding of the Divine will and to the touch of the Almighty hand the substance of material atom, or composite man, or pure spirit? 1 answer 1t comes trom Him who 1s the ocean of substance, of reality, whose very act is substance, producing substance, How is that? I hnow not. But Icon- ceive clearly that it must be so. Yes; we exist amid that boundless ocean we call tiod. What we jossess Ol existence must be communicated by im who is alone gelf-existent ; our being must be a participation of His, who 18 the sole necessary be- ing; our substance in its endless variety and mod- ification must be in some inscrutable way derived from Him who is the sole simple and immutable substance without accident or change; our life and the |ife of all that we behold must spring from that abysmal Life whose secret no man knoweth or ever knew, I, whom the Ask me not the how of creation. materialists say to be the perfection and crown of all being, know not the mysterious elements of my OWn Organization and life. I cannot tell how my heart pulsates or my blood courses in my veins, or my members grow or decay. I have not the secret ol my lifes beginnings, nor can I stay my death. Nay, 1 know not how my will moves my hand in writing these words, nor how my soul within me exerts her own powers, feels, thinks, remembers, reasons, wills, So is it with the grain of cora which I plant; how it germi- nates, (ables ripens and produces a hundred fold beneath my care isan unfathomable mystery. The laws which govern the beginning, the wth and the end of life; the laws which unfold he Oak trom out the acorn, and the man from out the babe, as well as those which nold together the planets of each cosmic system around their re- Spective suns, I can oy dimly discern in some parts. Their source and their nature elude my rasp. i Ths onty am I sure of—Infinite intelligence con- cetved my possivility betore time began to be; infinite love deereed that I should exist; that power, that divine act, whicn alone is substance, roduced me and all that Is; and infinite wisdom if still the lamp of my poor reason and the sun of revelation in my heavens, Ir in His ways, who is ihe author of all, I cannot understand everything, there are at least many thi made clear to me; among them that! had a noble origin, since God bore me within His mind and heart from charity, and that I have a noble destiny to behold in the liie to come, without veil or shadow, Him whose footprints | now rever- ently trace in creation. There, in sis hight, I shail know Him as I am known by Him, and see clearly what I now dimly perceive but believe firmiy—that he is my God, the substance of my substance, the life of my life, and the soul of my soul PRUDENTIUS, Two Religions. This 1s the season for conventions and confer- ences by Protestant Christendom, The ministers have got back from the mild and clerical pleasures of the summer, and jeel ready and able to grapple with the formidable conundrums of denomina- tional policy, a large-crop of whieh is harvested every October. The Baptists and Methodists are apparently in the most placid and good-natured mood, for beyond the slight effervescence which is consequent upon the contact with each other ofa large body of men whose life makes them some- what angular and developes personal peculiari- ties, their meetings have been quiet, decorvus and fruitful of good results. The Congregational ists at New Haven had a more notable session. It was opened by @ thunderbolt from Dr. R. . Storrs, which must have curdled the muk oF human kindness in the heart of Tyndall and given @ sudden start to the molecular forces tn the biceps of Huxley. His scorching criticism upon the attempt of these gentlemen to settle not only the Science, but also the theology of the time, was en- tirely worthy of the occasion, and will not be soon forgotten. The quick and sharp distrust of the Conventaon, too, which was aroused when the ap- parently innocent words we notice were pro- nounced with a show of authority, and the almost instant rebellion against recetving any advice from anybody, which developed itself, shows bow thoroughly individualized Protestantism has be- come or 1s fast becoming. Never bas the contrast between Protestantism and Catholicism been brought out more vividly, The one is centripetal, and constantly tends to- ward acommon centre. Whatever differences of opinion may arise, and however sharply the con- testants may engage in the battle of church polity, that Church 1s just as much an unit at the end as it Was at the beginning of the controversy. When the time comes for submission to the constitated authorities, the element of loyalty, in which Prot- estantism seems to be atrangely lacking, is alone suficient to compel every man to sheathe his sword, The other is centrifugal, aa though all the members were repellant to each other, as though aco Was suspicious and jealous of whe other, and @ unton of forces seems impracticable, even when the greatest questions are discussed and the most important movements are on foot. Nor do these repellant forces lose their ene: under the influence of an increasing liberality an toleration. On the contrary, the logical result of the premises on which Protestantism is founded ig @ severe and increasingly defined individualism, ‘The union of the Catholic Church is typified by the atrength of the manila rope, whose strands, with thelr component fibres, le snugly side by side, each adding ita part to the whole; while that of Protestantism is best illustrated by the attempt, for it can never be more than that, to make the form and semblance of a rope out of sand. The Parts do not cohere, and at the slightest unusual motion they will fall upart and discover themselves to be 80 Many separate and individual atoms. ‘To be sure, history may possibly develop the fact that union is not strength, alter all, and show that there is ag much endurance and resistance ina vhousand differing particles as in @ thousand simi- lar fibres closely Woven together by a common in- terest and acommon faith. There 1s, undoubtedly, certain kind of strength generaved among iriendly, truth-loving and truth-seeking individuals, in spite of tne vagaries and eccentricities necessa- rily developed; but until Protestantism ns to care more for ite common faith than it does for vhe garments in which that faith is dressed it is useless fo put the sword into its sheath, to pray for the miliennium or to talk about a union which exists only in ovunterfett, There 1s, too, in connection with the Protestant- iam of the day a lack of continuity whica must be very discouraging. The Catholic Church is con- tinuous, and its work, when unfinished by one generation, is taken up and completed by Even when it stretches number of years the line of opera- is unbroken, the original plan 1s wins wi nature, however, Prutestantism is concussive, serve and, in the end, percusaive, ‘The present co rence of the Episcopalians ia a ge Diustration of this fact Lt no sooner comes ee Kher than it maxes=—"S very Aatteriag diy, @ tion Tied ont, and the enthusiasm re: From its vei play of the splits and schisms which have occupied an important place in tts recent history, Its rime 18 Mostly takeD up in the manufacture of suspen- sion bridges over the various chasms in its spirit ual territory, The unity of represents ig of such frail aud uncertain nature that the various parties of High, Low aud Broad OChures must be handied as carefuily as Prince Ku- pert’s Grops, and if laid in the same casket of ec clesiastical government must be imbedded in the cotton wool of mutual compromise, or the whole system will be slatiered into a thousand pieces.

To THe EpiToR OF THE HERALD:— Your Paris correspondent, in his letter of Sep- tember 14 alluding to Montalembert, says that ne died protesting against the dogma of infallibility. Permit me to submit to your readers an extract from his biography, by Mrs. Oliphant, a Protestant lady, One of his visitors said to him, while lying on what proved to be his death bed:—“If the tnfalli- bility 1s proclaimed what will youdot” “I will Strugyle against it as long as I can,” he said; but when the question was repeated the sufferer raised himself quickly up, and with something of his old animation turned to his questioner—*What shall 1 do?” he said; “We are always told that the Pope is a father. Hh bien! There are many fathers who demand our adherence to things very Jar from our inclination und contrary to our ideas, In such @ case the son atrunuies while he can; he tries hard to persuade his father, discusses and talks the matter over with him; but when all is done, when he sees no possibility of succeeding, but receives a distinct refusai, he submits, I stall do the game.” “You will sub- mit solar as form goes,” said the visitor; “you will submit extergaily; but how will you reconcile that submission with your ideas and convictions?" Stil more distinctly and clearly he repled:—‘‘1 Will make no attempt to reconcile them; I will submit my Will, as bas to be done in respect to all other questions of faith, 1am not a theologian; It is not my partto decide on such matters, And God does not ask me to understand. He asks me vo submit my will and intelligence, andl will do so.” After having made this solemn and abrupt confession of faith, says the witnesa whom we have quoted, he added, with a smile, “It is simple enough; there is nothing extraordinary tn 11.” Such @ protest 18 a8 honorable to the Church as to the character of Montaiembert himself, HISTORICAL TRUTH, ‘Who Wrote the Book of Job?
