The high-pressure school system of Indianapolis is causing distress to hypercritical minds. The schools of Terre Haute still continue to satisfy our average citizen. Any citizen away up above the average may be dissatisfied. We have been fortunate in having our schools directed by men of practical common sense, free from hobbies and pet theories, and not given to experiments and the illustration of advanced ideas at the expense of the scholars. We have not bragged in the past and have no need to be ashamed of them now. a ,*-*

The Express once more desires to remark that it has not only the largest circulation of any paper in Terre Haute, but that its circulation is as large as the combined legitimate circulation of all the other daily papers. Within two weeks past the Express' circulation distributed through agents in the surrounding towns has increased 183 papers, and the circulation in the city has correspondingly increased When the fact is known th'at during the past year no one has been employed soliciting subscriptions for the Express, and that still it has more than doubled its circulation, the fact can not longer be denied that the public appreciates a good paper such as the Express has been. Its circulation is consequently of that endaring character that is altogether free from the backsets that swamp the take-

"BELIGIOUS BITBO0PECT AHD PROSPECT." Herbert Spencer's "Religious Retrospect and Prospect," reprinted in the last Popular Science Monthly, may be regarded as a concrete statement of the position held by that school of philosophy of which Spencer is the greatest

poses completely to ignore, further than regarding them as incidents in the growth of the human mind, all religious systems from the creation to the present. It would explain away their validity as logically as the story of William Tell is proven a myth. The interesting article under consideration will be widely read and furnish anew departure to many minds, halting between two opinions, which are bound by' inherited faith, but tempted by modern speculation. The revelations of science, the keen reasoning of analytic philosophy, as it seeks to discover the nature of the great First Cause, by the study of physical science, find an intelligent, responsive hearing the world over. The pulpit finds no more attentive, interested audience than does the scientific writer. It has to meet the arguments of the latter. A little learning is a dangerous thing the calm reasoning of positivism, stated logically, and supported by facts as well as theories, drawn from nature and history, has a charm and conviction not only to the disciplined thinker, but to the tyro who can not detect a fallacy or dispute asserted facts, and it is also as true that the illogical utterances of a religious teacher, weaving together truth and assumption, revelation and tradition will be accepted implicitly by many under the spell of faith and habit. The theologians can not afford to despise, ridicule or ignore the investigations of the materialists, as some do while others do not, for these three reasons. These investigators command respect as men who are often of a reverent spirit and too wise to scoff, who enter seriously into their work to accept its results even if against their prejudices. Science is exact and abhors a lie, and whether mistaken and threfore dangerous, or

Spencer in his Retrospect of Religion traces the growth of the religious idea and the belief in a Divinity from the primitive savage to the highly-civilized mart. He shows by the gradual advance from the crude superstition to the laterharmonious, spiritualized faith, each era reflecting the character and habit of man in the character of his Gods, that the variouB religious systems from the time when food was laid on the graves to the day oj the Hebrew Jehovah or of the Jewish Messiah, that all religious progress was only the index of man's social and intellectual progress. The first man knew no God. By biB dreams he caught the idea that he had another self which moved independent of himself. He dreamed of the dead and vaguely thought the second self of the dead was appearing. This ghost was a living thing though invisible. Men came and went away. The living honored the ghosts, according to them all their own best qualities, or what they in their low state thought the best. Wars added their heroes to the other world gods and demi-gods arose all gradations of hunian society were imagined to exist among them. The forces of nature by their phenomena were the manifestations of the gods. In a low state of civilization the heavenly powers, like man, were fierce and revengeful with human passionB. Each improved stage of society developed more refined and spiritual deities who were placed farther away. Always the character of the gods was the character of the race worshiping them as shown by the Egyptian mysteries, the elevated poetical Grecian mythology and the Pantheism ef the warlike Romans, or evenly the Hebrew's god in the varying traditions of the first rude shepherds and the later civilized Jews. The god?and lesser powers multiplied infinitely but with man's improved knowledge of natural laws, those presiding over natural effects were dropped when some were given up, their functions were ascribed to those remaining. In time the ascriptions of all powers and influences were clustered around one great deity and the conception of him was spiritualised.

This barely suggests the idea without giving theJoree of Spencer's statement, but is correct in showing the intention to prove the entire system of what is called revealed religion rests upon a series of assumptions and imaginings. It must be borne in mind that there is no denial of a God, but of the particular God as defined by religious teachers. With the acceptance of this view must disappear, with other so-claimed myths, the claims of the Jewish monotheism and all that is involved. But Spencer gives a prospect of religion. We have the present system, as he shows it, built upon a primary error, containing in its definition of the Creator logical absurdities and natural impossibilities. This faith of the present is the evolution of the preceding ages. It could not be destroyed to leave an unfilled gap, but as it has slowly grown by evolution to its present mingled error and excellence so in the future by evolution its errors will be stricken away and man will attain a more perfect idea of the Grebt First Oanse. Although this religion is built upon error. SnencAr nayo without its abandonment truth may come from it by evolution. There was a germ of truth in the first stage, when man connected hip own consciousness with

Bome

power existing beyond him.

There is a Power working in nature whom man has not understood—this "Power manifested throughout the universe distinguished as material is the same Power which in ourselves wells up in consciousness."

The comprehension of this power has been obscured by man's attempt to define him by his own consciousness The limits of his own nature limits his definition of power. He has invested, byjthe attempt, thequpremelcause with human attributes. In fine, it might seem to be claimed that man should not place any terms or ascriptions—the less he claims to know the more he will know. As a trenchant example of imperfect definition and comprehension of the Great First Cause, which must be the first to disappear in the coming evolution, is given the accepted belief in future damnation, eternal punishment, inherited sin, the sacrifice of an innocent being and the necessary acceptance of a certain mode of salvation. It would be a mistake to call the philosopher an Atheist, for he is not, since he hopes the perfect evolution will leave man in the "presence of an Infinite and Eternal Energy from which all things proceed."

It may seem like begging the question to assert that it is difficult for theologians to meet arguments based on science alone. It is reasonable to claim that religion should provide for man's reason and faith, satisfy his intellect as well as his mora} nature and reasonable to believe that in time all that is really true in matters of revelation and faith will do so. There is this difference in the lines of argument. The philosopher has taken the impressions made by humanity upon religions manifestations for his facts, as convinced that they were accidents of circumstances as his opponent is that they were evidences of a truth. The latter, beginning with the belief in Divinity, finds the proof of His existence in the development of man. The one traces man's growth by his improved imagination and elaboration of tradition the other finds God in the improved knowledge. The philosopher having proved the earth to be millions of years old and the human race to be old when its birth is claimed finds it difficult to believe that the Hebrew mono-theism and Christian dispensation are more than incidents in one brief chapter of history, or that the Creator having rested quiescent for thousands of centuries should suddenly begin anew system unnecessary before. The~theologian regarding the demands for exact statement and absolute proofs, again asks, "Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is high as heaven what canst thou do? deeper than hell what canst thou know?" There is one point equally beyond scientist and divine the bridgeless chasm between the first man- and his Creator. We can guess the step from the first to the second and give a tradition, but what was the connection between the first and this ratise wp cannot. Was there a Divine.
