MODERN PHiLOSOPHY MAKES FOR FAITH What anewer shall we make to our breth- ren who come in the fellowship of alien aseailants, speaking these strange new Words £o fraught with danger? What answer shall we make to our own hearts, trembling with dread of the new doctrine. themseives, it may be, infected with ti Gisease of doubt, whose germs are crowd- ing the air we breathe? We andwer first of all to ourselves and to all men—we seek the truth, cost what it may, come whence it may; we are content. that the things which can be shaken shall be removed, be- cause we are thereby made to know more clearly the things which cannot be shaken, and shall remain. We answer boldly that God of truth, who has spoken Unto us rds of hope by Jesus Christ, cannot deny himself, and that, therefore, there can be no contradiction of nature by revelation, We are eager to deny the identity of < revelation with any man's under- standing of that revelation in any particular age, and we refuse to consent that its di- vine and all-sufficient authority may be up- set by man's theory as to the operation of the Godhead by which is given the knowl- edze of all the truth he wills to impart, We entreat the recognition of the purpose for which holy Scripture was given and of the fact that nowhere there promised revelation of any truth which has not refer- ence perfect and compiete to that one pur- pose. We are not astonished by the discov- ery of supposed inaccuracies; they are but natural exhibition of the human element in divine revelati and our faith in the in- dwelling divinity i mot | shaken by thess evidences of the reality of that human ele- ment. We charge you that ve be not made afraid by any criticism of God's word, how- ever high be its claims or however low be it spirit, for the scrutiny of the documenta the comparisons of texts, the exploitation of so-called mistakes, historical, geograph- ical, numerical, the seeming triumphant dfs. coveries of Biplical contradictions, all these Shall but make more manifest <he Blory of the indwelling¥truth, the same always and everywhere, in every age and in every land, the ilfe of that multitude which no man cafl number. And then we bid you rejoice that in the good providence of our God the prog- ress of knowledge under the inspiration of the restless time spirit has made for the furtherance of the gospel Biblical criti- cism has made for faith, natural science has made for faith, modern philosophy has made for faith. But we must bid you mote and strive against the last and most evil result of our age tendency in the reckless spirit of In- dividual license, ‘the caricature and con- tradiction of that ideal of personal liberts which the church has created and per- petuated among men. The fool who saith in his heart there is no God Is quick to %o forward is the natural corollary that fhere 18 ho human authority of right de- manding his recognition and obedience. The man who derides the revealed foun- dation of all ethical obligation is the easy victim of the devil's delusion that self-in- terest 55 the sole motive of human action and self-advancement the only test of moral conduct. And finally the defiant denial of the God who ordatneth fiads culmination in the assertion that there =hall be mo longer powers of human gove ernment to whom In superstitious faith obedience has been rendered and anarchy is born as the legitimate offspring of * un- belief. The crime at Buffalo, a month agone, by which the head of our nation Was taken away, was but the natural fraft of this tree of God-dsfying denlal. The great and good President was slain by the spirit of our age. But we must recog- nize that this awful crime, thrice repeat- ea “within Torty years, is ihe offspring of the spirit of lawlessress, full grown to maturity of malevolence, and that other children of the same evil spirit are close about us on every hand, themselves the Stength of the family of lawlessness, who Make possible and certain these glant mon- sters whose deeds of violence have shocked our souls. The failure of the citizen of & republican government to do his duty in the endeavor to elect honest 2na ‘true men as the officers of that Eov- rnment is the earliest political manifes- tation of this pernicious life. The selfish indifference which, governed by disgnet. is content that the city or the ate shall be given up Into the hands of the least reputable people In it rather than do vallant and painful battle to preserve the ballot's purlty and the honesty of official administration, this the tiny germ Which in due and well-ordered develop- ment grows into -the vigor which threat- ens our very social life. It is cheaper, men think and even say, to let the G ernment be in the hands of the corrupt than to labor and to suffer to keep it in the hands of the homest and upright. The venial Legislature can be easily pu chased and the ends good citizens are sec! ing easily secured. The rights of corpo- rations can be made safe by putting mon- ey into the purse of the guardians of the State; the privileges we desire can be ours for a price, and that price is less than must be paid for honest administration of public affairs. HOW TO RESIST TIDE OF MATERIALISM Alas, that part of the price is municipal or national dishonor and degradation. The citizen who first seifishly refuses to do his civic duty, and then in natural descent along the easy path becomes the giver of bribe and the corrupter of his fellows is himself cgraded more and more in the process, and the bottom is found when civic rights and civic righteousness are alfke forgotten, when duty to his neighbor no longer demands per- formance, when protection to weakness, the equality ‘of freemen. the comservation of are no longer the ends of the Gov- ernment, but only the securing of peculfar privileges for a class, the comfortable en- Joyment of a protected license; when duty to is forgotten because duty to God is denled. Are not these exhibitions of the spirit of lawlessness in plainest view throughout our land? But the question keeps repeating itself, how shall we, as a church; how shall we, as Christlan men and Christian ministers, resist this onflowing tide of lawless, godless materiallsm? How shall we make the Christlan faith again to be the inspiration of victory, the efficient motfve of self-sacrifice, the artificer of no- blest character? By what power may the spirit of commercial ambition, the spirit of selfiish aggrandizement, the spirit of devo- tion to the seen and the temporal, be driven from $he chambers of our people’s soul that a nobler, higher spirit may enter in? The answer is at once obvious and easy to be learned from our sacred books, that God Ghost alone can work this mir- ond all controversy the one su.- preme need of human nature for its cleans- Ing, its Invigoration, its development to higher, nobler manhood, is the indwelling of the spirit of God. This is but a com. monplace of the teaching or our Master and his apostles. But we ask in view of the peculiar difficulties of our time, what are the special hindrances which prevent his access to the souls of our children; what are the closed doors and windows through which strike 2 month ago. It has always been difficult to identify the strikers charged with violence and the experiment of | equipping non-union employes with cam- eras is a novelty likely to prove of prac- tical use. et i Postoffice Named After McKinley.

HUNTINGTON QUITS BATTLE HE HAS LED FOR LAST TEN YEARS HE resignation by the Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York of his leadership in the fight to secure spiritual oversight by Bishops of the Episcopal church for differing congregations, not in union with the church, created a sensation yesterday afternoon at the +- lect are barred =o fast against him? We answer that first and chief among the fail- ures of our people in the development of thefr own spiritual life and that of their children, is the neglect of the cultivation of religion in the home. We have forgotten in the bustling pursuit of material prosperity, in the perhaps overdevelopment of the value of the individual, that God hath set the soli- tary in families; that the home was the germ of the church; that the father is con- Secrated high priest of his household, -the representative of the All Father to them sprung from his loins; their leader and com- mander in approach to the throne of the highest, and in pursuit of the paths which he hath marked out. How shall the holy one enter and dwelk in_the heart of the boy to expel the evil spirit of base desire, to quicken the pur- Pose of self-devotion tu the work of God in the world, to enable the pursuit of only the things that are pure and honorable and good report, when the father, who is to him the very image and representative of all that is highest, is wholly immersed in the cares of the world? How shall the maiden’s heart be made strong by the ani- mating spirit of the holy one to answer to the heaven-sent messenger come to tell of the glory of the Christ who shall be hers, “Be it unto me according to thy word, when the mother who bore her and is right- 1y ber ideal of highest womanhood, hath a aame to live and is dead, and amid the hurrying round of frivolity cannot find time for prayer or holy Scripture? How shall our children learn the habit of communion with God in secret prayer when behold there is no family altar around which they are called fo kneel at morning and at evening, While the father-priest offers the sacrifice of their lips, their united prayer and praise? Ah, hereln we believe we find the crying evil of our time, the ample explanation of the church’s deficlencies on every hand. Let us neme but one to which we have already made reference, the unwillingness of our young men to devote their lives to the service of God and of man in the min- istry of his holy church. Not we believe chiefly because of any unwillingness to en- dure hardness: not because of the supposed cramping and stultification of a manly in- telligence necessary to the acceptance of the ancient creeds, as has been asserted; not because of the diminished influence of the ministry in our time as compared with that it exercised in the days of our fathers; no, our young men come not up to the help of the Lord against the mighty, because they are not trained from childhood to know the holy Scriptures and thereby to’ know that there is a God, unseen yet omnipotent, the only wise, the Savior of all men, who demands the ioving service of ‘his sons that all men everywhere may know him and his salvation. GUARD HOMES FROM EVIL INFLUENCES With shame be it confessed that but too often the aspirant for missionary labors and sufferings has had his ardor quenched by the chilling words of a Christian father pointing out the greater opportunity to galn influence and wealth, power and happiness in _some other calling; and, stranger still, by the mother who bore him who cannot endure that he shall leave all these things to follow Christ. There Must be Christian homes from which shall come forth Christian heroes. There must be family altars from which must be taken the live coals to touch the lips which shall plead with men for God. ATd in this connection we must call upon our people to guard their homes from the polluting and destroying infuences which are ever ready to enter therein. And here again our present laxi is perhaps due to Strained severity In the days that are past The puritanic moroseness which den gratification to the healthy instincts manding recreation and amusement was naturally and rightfully opposed by the Catholic church, and here as elsewhere the ovil one, taking advantage of = inherent human weakness, has turned our good into evil, our liberty into license. Because thy playhouse is not as the Puritan declared, the very gateway to the devil's abode, Le- canse the delight derived from the artist's jmpersonation of the artist's conception is helpful and elevating to character, be- cause the indiseriminate condemnation of all dramatic representation may not be countenanced by the reasonable Christian; oTas it has now come to pass that indis- criminate approval has taken the place of cordemnation as sweeping, and Christians are found looking upon mimic scenes which are wholly depraving, whose art 1is only thelr immorality and thelr attrac- tiveness only in their appeal to the basest passions of our nature, Many of us are old enough to remember the indignant refusal of the Christian to Suffer the game of cards to be played under Bis roof. 'The assoclation of the painted cardboard with dens of iniquity and their almost universal use for purposes of gam- fng made them to be proscribed, and the possibility of their employment for inno- Dont “recreation denied. ~We may smile Some of .us at this absurd moral distinction made by our fathers, but better far this unreasoning arbitrary distinction than the leense of to-day which suffers the pastime of friends to be polluted by the passion of the gamester. Wasted hours, dulled onsclences, careérs to end in desvair be- gun in ladies’ drawing-rooms, the gam- Bler's madness, degradation, ruin, all alike are erying out that our freedom is full 5f° danger.

Wide open are The channels in which the devouring spirit of unbelief and immorality is entering to destroy your little ones.

That such disre- ¢ rd is increasing among confessed disci- ples of the Lord we fear cannot be denied. The luxurious Sunday evening banquet of the rich and the pleasure-loving is a dis- honor to the risen Lord in whose honor the church has set the day apart; and the ap-, propriation of its sacred hours for the’ac- complishment of a long journey by the busy traveler because the week’s hours are all too few for his many engagements is a robbery of God, who from Sinal de- manded consecration of our time to his remembrance and worship, and placed the law of the Sabbath in the midst of the moral commandments of perpetual obli- gation, Far less worthy of condemnation in the eyes of the all wise and all merci- ful, we can but belleve is the Sunday out- ing of the perhaps overworked artisan, who ‘from Monday morning till Saturday night never sees his children save when asleep, and yet we are persuaded that he may. be taught that fuller happiness shall be his if he shall have led his children to God’s house and worship before he carries them to green flelds and romping holiday. But it is a shame and only a shame, be- cause no excuse can be found for it, in the condition of our life, that golf grounds shall be crowded on Sunday afternoons, that servants shall be denled their due and well-earned rest day, that the beasts in our stables shall know no Sabbath, be- cause the athletes, men and women, must be driven in cushioned comfort to the scene of thelr Sunday sports. and return- ing, have their wearied frames refreshed and feasted. To one and all alike we appeal that they labor #nd deny themselves to conserve the sanctity of our American Sunday. It is, perhaps, not too much to say, as taught by the specific commandment, embedded in the very midst of man's moral law, that the continuance of -the knowledge of God and of his Son, Jesus Christ, among men is_dependent upon our obedience to that ‘commatd. 1 was in spirit on the Lord's ' writes the aged seer in Patmos when to him came the the Son of man. He separates distinctly between the Sabbath of the Hebrew and the Lord's day of the Christian, and just as distinctly between the slavish enact- ments to protect the one and the glorious liberty of the redeemed by which that which we guard should be made secure. The Puritan, not recognizing that the old had passed away because the new and the better covenant had come, sought to con- vert our Christian feast day into the old Jewish Sabbath, and naturally his striv- ing was in vain But, alas! agaln we must note that our liberty has been enlarged into license by the spirit of evil, and the blessing of the rest day threatened by ex- cessive freedom. The church at even- song is almost empty.’ Our boys wander about the streets and our daughters spend the solemn hour in gossip or in novel- reading. Why? Why? Because the father and mother do mot entreat or command that with them they g0 up to the temple at the hour of evening prayer. Fathers, mothers, churchmen, we, your pastors, entreat ‘that you rally to the defense of this mighty citadel of our religion. Americans, we call upon you to rouse to vision of the protection of this palladium of our liberties, our Government, our English civilization. And lastly, beloved in the Lord, we bid you carry dway from our great synod as the watchword of our battle for the time to come—missions, missions, missions. The Son of God has been born as man, and to is erd was he born that he might de- s the works of the devil. The Son of man has been crucified that by his death he might destroy death ard deliver them who all their lifetime have been in bond- age through fear of death. He hath spoiled the strong man death and come forth from his house bearing the spolls of victory. He is gone away to the Father's right hand and thence hath sent the Comforter, the life-giving Spirit, to quitken our spirits into new life in him, and he hath builded his church to be the habitation of this pirit, the home of the fathful, the wii ness unto all men of him and his salv tion. Of that church we are; we are mem- bers of his body; we are sharers of his spirit, and therefore—mark it—therefore, we toe as he must be busy in the procla- mation of his message of hope. In the min- istration of his glft of life to ail men. Mark that we say not may or ought, but must. “We cannot but speak the things that we have seen and heard.” The man or woman who has seen his face has heard his voice speaking pardon and blessing cannot but tell to others the good things he hath done for all who beiieve in him and will do for all who confess his'name. FREACH A CRUS@ADE FOR. MISSION WORK Your Bishops may speak unto you with all the earnestness they can feel and express and declare that the obligation of every Christian to join heartily in the endeavor to extend the kingdom, to proclaim the message, Is just as real and just as bind- ing, according to the teaching of the New Testament, as that to attain personal holi- ness; and that the effort to develop spir- itual manhood must be vain in him or her whose life is but a selfish seeking for per- sonal salvation, in forgetfulness and un- concern about the salvation of the world for which the Christ was content to die, - I can thank God that in my infancy or but yesterday I was buried with Christ in baptism and recelved the seal of covenant adoption into him. I can thank God that on my head have rested the hands of the church’s brief pastor in assuring evidence of the gift of God's Holy Spirit.
