It begins with general principle, well as that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line and it aseames that these principles are correctly stated. Can it therefore be objected that Moses commences with an assumption, as if conceded? "God created the heavens and the earth." Why did he thns commence? Because the fact isas true tothetanmaa reason as that we are that we I!re that w a exist. W h at is the strongest primary proof, that tHere is a great First Cause? It is because we are. The conviction is evident Mi man claims that he made himself that he it self-created. He was evidently made by a supreme mechanic. The Universe, with ten thourtnd thousand tongues, also proclaims that there fat God. Moses tells us afterwards what he nyianddid. Thus only can We know the attributes and character of Man. And thus we are taught know God.

not only realize that there must be an Eternity, j aud coolly reflect whether the act to which we Past and Hereafter, but we begin to have a faint, ! may be prompted by our benevolence, will in

the end be a beneficial one. 1 he speaker could not admit this for we should permit the benevolent senliment to guide us, without reference to the ulterior results. The lecturer then proceeded to speak of the "religious" theory of morals to wit, that our sole standard of morality or virtue, is the "will of God." He did not object to this; but wouU respectfully asr. how are we to know the will of God? Among the 300 different sects, no two agree as to the will of God on any one question. -Each man, therefore, is left to seek that will in his own reflections and spiritual consciousness. The lecturer spoke with great freedom con

glimmering idea of infinite space. But what is Power? We measure every man's power by its effects. Aad thus must we measure God's, for that is the only way poor mortals can judge of that which is infinite. We learn next that Wisdom must have guided that Power. But neither Power nor Wisdom is active. They are instruments the machinery Goodness employs to execute its purposes. Thus Goodness is active. Tii is is his glorious, sublime, supreme attribute. Wisdom and power are not objects of affection but of wonder or terror. Therefore, those are not the attractive feature! of God. He did not create this earth merely to display these atlri.

of Legislator. It revealed Justice as the Fundamental attribute of his moral character the Jutge of the Earth will do no wrong. The second is Holiness; and the law reveals still anothea, Truth, absolutely, immutably, eternally. Man was created iu God.'s image. Hence he lias some cf those fundamental attributes, even in his fallen character, though it may appear but as the shadow of a shade, wheu compared to what we have learned and know of the Creator's adorable rejection. Had there been no sin, no other attr bote of God might have been exhibited than these. Bat the Gospel came to reveal others. It is needless to stop to prove that we are fal

God ia reference to man, is Love; and the evidence is that he gave his only Son for them. Since man's rebellion and fall, he can lore him now only through Mercy. We can see through this, the reasons for the mission of our Savior. From him we have the Gospel, the Interpretation of which is "glad t iJicgs of great joy." Thesumofthe matter is, ihit God so loved the world, fallen as it was that h tent hia Son to redeem them. This is the fundamental doctrine of Christianity in its theory. It ia not wonderful that some are incredulous and slow to believe that he who could not lookouSin without aversion, would senda Redeemer from his high and lofty eminence to this

blighted, ruined world. The world oousiders three offices really honorable. Prophet, King, and he who often places the tiara on the brows of the King the High Pt est. These were three distinct attributes of the Savior. He came as a Prophet or Preach-r, clothed in human nature, as much as Adam, making himself really and truly bone of ear bone and flesh of our flesh. His Priestly order too was not after the tribe of Levi, not aftfrthe Aaronic order, but after M-lchizideck, thi i King-Priest. For ha was not only Priest in hi. own right, but also King or Righteous-1 oeas and Peace.

For example, the book was once tnougni to teach that the earth was stationary nnd the sun revolved around It; but science had ptoved the

reverse, and eld theology was compelled after a

Geology too had showed that the six cay sou

the creation must be exteudtd far beyond the

neried of six siderial days; for instead of the

earth and all things therein being made in six

cays, it was highly probable that more than as many millions or years were occupied in developing the physical world prepuolory to the habitation of man. The recession of the Falls of Niagara favored this. Another doctrine of old Tleology which he condemned was that or total depravity. He contended that man cannot be totally depraved as ... . . j i.

long as he is capable of pertorm.ng a goou " must also be held iucapable or performing a bad one. Infaut damnation, predestina ion and foreordination, were equally absurd in the lecturer's opinion and from these and olh r absurd doc

trines has SDrungthe most absurd meories of

morals . The lecturer then spoke or t ie atonement.-

This idea grew out of the ignorauce of mankiud in an early age. Men thought that as these thiugs which were pleasing to themselves, they would be so to their Gods, aud hence it was a practice among the Jews, the Greeks and all the ancient nalious, to sacrifice to their gods.

Christ is said to have atoned for the sins of

the world by his death. The lecturer could see no other merit;in this,' thau that which follows all bold assertions of truth, which result in mar-

! tyrdom. It is glorieus to die for the truth, but

it is more glorious to live for it. In his course we have an example to follow and that example sustained by the truth he taught, is our Redeemer. What should we think of the judge who

should send an innocent man lo punishment in

been staled.

In Austria and through Southern Germany

there is no silver iu circulation, their currency is made up of "Brown Paper Bills," notes of the Worst desriptiou, passing at great discount. Iu Russia a new but very limited coinage of "Thalers" lias lately been issued. Iutlif principal!

lies the currency is a mixture o! silver and zinc. The Austrian, Prussian and Bavarian governments are making great exertions to collect and accumulate silver with a view of an extensive coinage of small silver, and I have a'good rei son to believe they are (through their ageuts in London) buying it up at a premium. I have no doubt, I have given the true reason of the great demand Tor silver iu E a rope.
