In a sense, evelation and tuition are both veritable. God did n gnown his ways unto Mosc nothing has ever happened. or is likely to happen, to shake our faith in that. We have ouly chinged our idea as to how the revela- tion was made. So it also remains true that the moral sense isolderthan Moses, has been a human feature under all civilizations. But man has novalways been civilized, and there are too many facts in the way of our any longer supposing that everywhere, and from his first appearance fon the carth, man lad auything that would now be ealled a conscience—any impulse urging ever faiutly one absolute code of mora Absolute Law of Right Unreached. The absolute law of right is something that hus never yet been reached, if indeed it ever can be. Jesus corrects the deuteron- omist who wrote 600 years before —corrects 1 repeatedly and ‘essentinily, ana eigh- teen centuries of experience have forced the modern moralist to depart somewhat from the teachings of Jesus. From this it been hastily inferred that these men could not have uttered the law of God, for God docs not change. There never was more shallow criticism or more fallacious judg- ment. What mwatters it whether God changes or not, av as s law is con- crned, since to man He must ever appear to change as the azes move? To its own time the Mosaic law was the luw of God. Toa previous time, bofore soviety was organized, when men kiew no other way of maintain’ ing existence than as be: Iaw of God ordatmed that v The divine law for any stage'is that the conditions existing require, Law of God to the 5a " Thave observed that the savage has nosuch conscience as the civilized man. 1 may go further and say that it would not be good for him. ‘The necessities of existence ave the ultimato basis of the law of right; and as the mode of existence laid upon the savuge is as differcnt in most respects from ours it is possible to imagine, the luw of right to him is another thing altogether. Thus we must_admit without blinking that God com- mands in one age what he prohivits in an- I'he ox pression commonly preferred— that God commands always the same thing, and that men come only tardily to the ap: prehension of his commands—suits better to a theory of divinity external to nature, but does ot suit woll to the lan of serip- ture oc to the s of observation. The of the Canaanites by Joshua was a tervible atrovity ; but we ar ot told that Joshua misapprehended the Lord's divection in the matter. Joshuw and his people were baroarians, and the law was laid upon the barbariun i that w killor to be killed.

CRANE ON ANAKCHY, blem of Serions Aspect Which Chris- tianity Alone Can Solve, Of all the dark lines cast by the spectrum of our civilization, that of anarchy is the blackest. The first impulse we have on hear. ing of the infernal deeds committed by an archists is that the perpetrators should be stamped ont with the utmost cruelty of law. Wearcapt to jump at the couclusion that wretches are not men, but devils are either right azy; perhaps My object in these remarks is to ex it possible, into the cause of anarchy that some light may be thrown upon its cure The anarchist may be crudely composed of four ignorance and erime have cyes and see not can deny that less miserables exist tod Hundreds and thousands of our fellow creatures, with capabilitics as_high as Veaven, are steeped in the dregs of despair. ihis widespread misery 1s the blot upon our scutcheon. ‘1o remedy it is the problem of the age. Both givernment and church should address itself to this task. Govern- ment spends too little time in the considera- tion of this question. ‘Ihe ciurch also must realize its mission. 1t has been too busy battling for uncsseutial opinion and hemi- wing in the broud salvation of God by fences of selfishncss. The chureh of the past has busicd itself with creede and ceremonies the churck of the future must be a church of magnificent philanthropics, great univer tics, world-wide missions and practical poli tics, heal the deep-seated miseiy of man. Couage is admirable cven in devils, But there are two kinds of courage. The ans chist has the courage of despair, and this works only destruction. If he had ‘the cour- age of hope he would bea most valuable member of society. Itis Christinity alone that can change despair to hope: that will inspire hunger and_poverty with optimism. Outside of the principles taught by Jesus Christ you will find nothing that can effect such o change. It must be accomplished, for there is no salvation elsewhere, It is the superficial idca that laws will suppress crime. Laws certainly are val ble to some extent toward this end, butthey must be the vight kind of laws—that is, thiey must be just in their operation and ce tain in voeir exeeution, All laws that ar cruel and rash and variabie feed crime. The people must have confidence in the law. Governor Altgeld might have pardoncd the anarchists of the Huymarket without doing much damage, but when he undertook to usurp the function of the courts and bring the law into confusion and contempt his action tended to foster evil. The only real antidote to crime is that body of principles laid down by Jesus Christ “These priuciples alone give hope to_reform- ers as has been statea above. They a the chief stimulant to organized effort These privciples eucourage the fumil Childrer hostages to fortune, a hou holdis the best balance wheel for ar former. They inculeate sobriety. They are fruitful in_industry. A house and lot is a great_cure for amarchy. They teach the sanctity of human life. Infidelity is the anarchy of the spiritual world. The impish delight with which an Ingersoll throws his bombs of wi sm among the highest idea ouly comparable to the glee the wounded Vaillant exnibits over his deed. The sneers and eriticisms at the church may be well taken, and none are more ready than Christians to acknowledge the imper- tion of thieir attemnts to rea Drin- ciples of Christ. but he who sendis the shafts of malice against the broad principles of Christianity, against faith i God, and trust in the Saviour is a moral anarchist., B Southern Route to the Pacific Const.

During ali of his sufferigs Reiser nover spoke an il word of the woman who shot him or any other verson.
